Contractual Rights And Clauses
Summary
The contract requires mutual discussion for additional services, but lacks clarity on compensation and amendment processes. Menarini can withhold disputed payments without breaching the agreement, so defining a dispute resolution process is advisable. A clause allowing the Service Provider to suspend services under certain conditions can be included. The Service Provider is responsible for taxes, including withholding tax, which should be clearly addressed. Service Level KPIs must be met, with clear rectification measures and termination criteria. An audit clause ensures reimbursement for overcharges. Providing a rate card is recommended for transparency.Full Conversation
If Menarini requires (a) services that are outside the scope of Services, or (b) variations to the Services, Service Provider shall in good faith discuss and agree with Menarini on Menarini’s requirements. Would this mean service provider has no right in any say regarding unreasonable requests?
No mention of extra compensation should the request be beyond original scope.
No mention of process for amendments to scope of work.
Hi ****! It sounds like you're dealing with a contract interpretation issue. Here are some points to consider:
- If the contract states that the Service Provider must "in good faith discuss and agree," it implies a mutual discussion and agreement process.
- The lack of mention of compensation or amendment process could be problematic. It would be wise to clarify these aspects in the contract to avoid future disputes.
Would you like help drafting an amendment to address these concerns?
