What Is a Vendor Agreement?

A vendor agreement is a legally binding contract between a business (the buyer) and a vendor or supplier (the seller) that outlines the terms and conditions for the provision of goods or services. It establishes pricing, delivery schedules, quality standards, payment terms, and the responsibilities of each party. A well-drafted vendor agreement protects both parties, reduces disputes, and ensures a smooth working relationship throughout the engagement.
