This textbook contains a family of contracts for relatedproducts and services. It is designed as an easy to use workbook andtakes you through a series of simple and direct discussions about thecontract you are writing. The textbook presents complete andcomprehensive contracts and then offers a detailed explanation of eachsection and clause used in the contracts.

The textbook can be used in several ways. First, use it to establishcontracts. Second, you will find it extremely valuable in trainingnewer members of your staff as they learn about the structure ofcontracts, the meaning and intent of specific contract language andgain a much clearer understanding and management of the risks invarious contracting situations. Third, depending upon yourorganization's process for reviewing and approving contracts, you canuse this textbook to review and approve the contract content andlanguage one time so that when used unchanged, the contracts do notneed another review or approval. To the extent your organization canembrace this process, you will find your contracts flowing much moreefficiently and rapidly through any remaining business review andapproval activity. You will also find that it permits you and thereviewing or approving official to focus on how the contract achieveskey business objectives rather than on the contract text used.

Each chapter is devoted to a single contract. In the beginning of eachchapter, each contract is proceeded by a description of what thecontract covers and emphasizes for you those elements of the contractrequiring your special attention because of the risks they may pose,the issues they may raise, or the absolute clarity they require.

You will note that we have highlighted each section requiring yourspecial attention with the symbol of the pointing hand.

As you read the contracts you will find them similar in basiccontent. This is by design. Contracts for a related set of productsand services carry generally the same risks and issues and thusrequire similar content. In using similar contract language you gainfor your organization a common and consistent understanding of how thecontracts are structured, the terms and conditions they contain, andthe risks and issues they identify and manage. This will significantlystreamline the process within your organization. Similar advantageflows to your supply base as you become more predictable, uniform, andconsistent with them.

Following each contract is a simple and direct explanation of eachsection and clause used in the contract. Here you will find eachsection and clause presented in two ways. First, in bold type, is adiscussion of the intent, use, and impact of the particular section orclause. This is followed by the contract text, the exact text used inthe standard contract. This is designed to enhance your understandingof the practice to be followed and the application intended in usingeach section and clause.

You will note that some sections and clauses are labeled optional oralternate. Sections and clauses carrying no label are the standardsections and clauses used in the contracts in the previouschapters. The optional and alternate sections and clauses are designedto give you flexibility in tailoring your contract to meet specialneeds. You may, for example, issue purchase orders electronicallyrather than via the mail. If that is your practice, you will find analternate clause in the Purchase Order Section governing electronicrather than mail transmission of purchase orders. You will use thealternate clause as a substitute for the standard. You may have asituation in which you want to assure that a supplier cannot bill youfor pre-contract costs; costs incurred in advance of thecontract. With that concern, you will add the optional clause to yourIntroduction assuring that you have no liability for such costs.

Careful use of this part of the chapter will enable you to useContractware contracts as written or use the optional or alternatesections and clauses to tailor the contracts to your specific needsand applications. ... Read more

Designed exclusively for purchasing professionals, Purchasing Contract Law, UCC and Patents is a comprehensive guide that teaches the fundamentals of Purchasing Law, covering all aspects of contracts including negotiations, contract basics, laws affecting contracts and what to do if something goes wrong. This book can be used as a primer for a new purchasing agent or as a reference guide for a more established Purchasing Manager.

Purchasing Contract Law, UCC and Patents focuses on a crucial element of the purchasing process. Everything you do in Purchasing is only worth what is written in the contract. And anything can be written into a contract. But what the courts will or will not uphold is another matter. How will a purchasing professional know what is enforceable without checking with the courts each time he or she signs an agreement? That is where Purchasing Contract Law, UCC and Patents comes in.

Mark Grieco, a licensed attorney specializing in contract law, cuts through the legal mumbo jumbo and introduces you to contracts and the basic requirements that make the agreement enforceable. Along the way he covers everything from purchase orders to purchasing "credit" cards to negotiating, taking you step by step through the entire contract process, from defining the elements in a contract to the problems you may encounter when performing under a contract. Mr. Grieco also examines what to do if something goes wrong. Additionally, the author devotes and entire chapter to the explanation ofcommon contract clauses and includes sample language for these clauses. ... Read more

Product Description

How do the EEO laws affect a company’s or an organization’s key personnel decisions? Popular in its first edition with readers who needed dependable information on this pertinent question. This new edition has been completely updated and revised for more accessibility. This edition continues the practice of providing readers with a framework for understanding each federal EEO law in terms of six key questions:

- Who has rights (protected classes)?

- Who has duties (covered entities)?

- Which practices are prohibited (covered practices)?

- How do claims reach court (administrative procedures)?

- What are the penalties for breaking the law (remedies)?

- How are claims decided at trial (judicial scenarios)?

These questions offer a way for untangling the overlapping and complimentary features of the EEO laws as a group even when these laws protect the same classes (such as race or gender). Besides the latest EEO law information and a new chapter that highlights the major changes in these laws, this new edition now includes:

Introductory sections for each chapter provide an overview of the chapter’s content.

- Opening key questions arranged by chapter headings so that the reader knows where to look to find a quick answer.

- Summary tables highlight and compare key cases, legal scenarios, and key topics.

- Brief within chapter summaries recap the effect of a law or summarizes a major topic.

- Compliance issues are discussed at the end of each chapter along with a list of "Do’s and Don’ts".

- Discussion questions end chapters and offer stimulating ideas for class discussions or personal reflection

Written for non-legal students and practitioners, this book gives readers the tools for avoiding workplace discrimination and preempting the need for litigation.
