Agreement types

Agreements for Regulated Sectors

Each agreement should reflect how the work actually happens, who makes decisions and where duties sit. Fit the agreement to operations.

Healthcare providers and clinics

Set out service scope, referral arrangements and patient-facing terms in language that is clear to the people expected to follow it.

Useful for private clinics, healthcare practices and service providers.

Device and pharmaceutical distribution

Define territory, supply responsibilities, ordering, support and what each party must do when the relationship changes.

A medical device distribution agreement needs workable boundaries and duties.

Life sciences collaboration

Record each party's contribution, access to materials, handling of information and agreed outputs for research or supply work.

A life sciences collaboration contract should match the project structure.

Renewable energy and solar

Cover installation scope, site access, customer responsibilities, performance expectations and the service arrangements that follow.

Customer terms should explain the installation in practical language.

Telecoms and fintech partnerships

Set out reseller and referral roles, commercial terms, support duties, brand use and clear responsibility boundaries.

A telecom reseller agreement or fintech partnership agreement needs defined roles.

Roles, duties and change

Allocating Responsibility in Regulated Relationships

When several organisations contribute to one service or supply chain, the contract should say who owns each task. Put ownership in writing.

Supply and service chain

Map who supplies, installs, maintains, supports or communicates with the customer. Spell out hand-offs so important tasks do not fall between parties.

Compliance duties

Translate relevant obligations into actions each party can carry out, with clear owners, timing and cooperation requirements where needed.

Change and notices

Set a route for notifying one another when requirements, products, services or operating arrangements change. Agree who assesses the effect.

Records and cooperation

Define what information is kept, how it is shared and how the parties assist each other when questions or issues arise.

Termination and transition

Plan for notice, outstanding work, handover and continuing duties so an exit does not leave customers or ongoing obligations without a clear route forward.

Renewable energy and solar

Installation, Performance and Customer Terms

Good solar customer contracts make the work, access requirements and aftercare easy to understand before installation begins. Set standards before work starts.

Installation scope

Describe the agreed work, site access, customer preparation and the steps that affect completion. A renewable energy installation agreement should reflect the real process on site.

Performance expectations

State what the parties have agreed to measure or provide, how performance information is recorded and what happens if the agreed position changes.

Customer terms and aftercare

Make payment, warranty, maintenance and service provisions easy to find. Customers should understand their own responsibilities as well as the installer’s.

Commercial structures

Reseller, Referral and Partnership Structures

The commercial model sets the shape of the agreement. Make roles, payment triggers and exit arrangements clear before the relationship grows.

Reseller agreements

Define territory, pricing, sales responsibilities, customer support and the limits on using each party's brand.

For a telecoms provider appointing a reseller in an agreed territory.

Referral arrangements

Set out what counts as an introduction, when compensation is due and where each party's responsibility begins and ends.

For a fintech firm receiving introductions from a commercial partner.

Partnership agreements

Record governance, deliverables, decision-making and review points. Add exit terms that help protect service continuity for customers.

For two businesses sharing delivery and ongoing customer support.

Define the route out, too.
