Document background
The Tripartite Agreement For Supply of Goods is a specialized commercial contract used in Australian business contexts where three parties need to formalize their relationships and obligations in a supply chain arrangement. This document is particularly relevant when there's a need to establish clear lines of responsibility and coordination between a supplier, an intermediary, and an end customer, or in situations where additional parties play crucial roles in the supply chain. The agreement comprehensively addresses all aspects of the supply relationship, including ordering mechanisms, quality control, risk transfer, pricing structures, and performance obligations. It is designed to comply with Australian commercial law requirements, including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and relevant state-based legislation. The document is commonly used in complex supply arrangements where direct supplier-to-customer relationships need to be supplemented with additional party involvement, such as distributors, logistics providers, or quality assurance entities.
