Before drafting
Write a short description of the dealing and the result each party expects. Identify who provides the service or the asset, who approves delivery, and how completion of an obligation is shown. Do not rely on an oral understanding that differs from the documents that will be signed.
Obligations and annexes
Review the scope of work, the consideration and the dates, and make sure the annexes referred to exist and agree with the text. Where price quotations, specifications or influential correspondence exist, set out how they relate to the contract and how a difference between them is dealt with.
Signing and changes
Check the party's name and capacity and the authority of its representative, then review how a change to the work is requested and approved. Make clear too what happens on delay, on the end of the relationship, or if a disagreement arises, reviewing each term in the context of the whole dealing.
Before the final version
Keep an orderly copy of the contract, the annexes and the approved amendments. If obligations are unclear, or there are risks you cannot assess, ask for a legal review before signing. Al Maali offers contract drafting and review once the scope of the request has been defined.
