Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

Before having the framework agreement drawn up, you make a few choices that guide the entire collaboration.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Does the framework apply to one or multiple customers? In the case of multiple parties within a group, you specify who may invoke the framework agreement and who signs it.
How does a concrete assignment come about? Determine whether a partial assignment is concluded via a signed partial agreement, an order, or an order confirmation.
Who bears the purchasing risk in the event of fluctuating prices? Choose between fixed rates for the term or an indexation or revision mechanism.
Which agreement takes precedence in case of conflict? Clearly establish the order of precedence between the framework agreement, the partial agreement, and any general terms and conditions.
May the coat be amended in the interim? Rule or amendments may only be made in writing and with the consent of both parties.
Clauses and provisions

Which components belong in a framework agreement?

A master agreement regulates the framework agreements that apply to all future assignments. The components below form the core; you supplement them for each situation.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Subject and scope Always Describe which types of tasks fall under the umbrella and what specifically remains outside its scope.
Term and renewal Always Specify how long the framework agreements are valid and whether they automatically renew.
Relationship to sub-agreements Always Determine which precedence the main document takes precedence over or under the individual sub-assignments in case of a conflict.
Price and payment agreements Generally State the rates, indexation, and payment terms that apply as standard to each sub-assignment.
Liability and indemnification Generally Limit liability and arrange indemnities that apply to the entire collaboration.
Confidentiality Generally Protect confidential information that you share with each other during the collaboration.
Termination and consequences Always Rules regarding notice periods and what happens to ongoing sub-assignments at the end of the framework agreement.
Applicable law and disputes Always Choose the law and the forum, so that disputes are settled predictably.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

A framework agreement only works if you apply it consistently to every new assignment.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
At the start of the collaboration Sign the framework agreement before the first sub-assignment takes effect. In this way, the framework agreements apply from the very first moment.
With every new assignment Explicitly refer to the framework agreement in the sub-agreement. As a result, the general terms and conditions automatically remain applicable.
In the event of changes to rates Adjust rates according to the agreed procedure and record this in writing. This prevents discussion about which price applies.
At the end of the term Check in good time whether an extension is desired and arrange ongoing assignments. This way, you prevent the collaboration from continuing irregularly or suddenly coming to a standstill.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

We see the following errors most frequently in practice regarding framework agreements.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
No hierarchy between main assignment and sub-assignment Conflicting agreements create uncertainty regarding what applies. Include a clear priority clause.
Sub-assignments do not refer to the master The framework agreements may not apply to that assignment. Explicitly refer to the framework agreement in each sub-agreement.
Term and termination not arranged The cloak continues unnoticed or ends unexpectedly. Specify the term, extension, and notice period concretely.
Liability not limited An error in a small assignment can lead to major damage. Limit liability for the entire collaboration.
Oral changes allowed Agreements are disputed afterwards. Stipulate that amendments are valid only in writing.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

Depending on your role and the nature of the collaboration, the points of attention differ.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Regular supplier-customer relationship You structurally purchase from or supply the same party. Pay attention to fixed rates, delivery agreements, and purchase volumes.
Ongoing service You periodically outsource work to the same service provider. Pay attention to service levels, notice periods, and continuity of service.
Collaboration within the group Multiple group companies conduct business under an umbrella. Pay attention to who is a party and who may invoke the agreements.
Fluctuating prices or market The cost fluctuates over the term. Look out for a revision or indexation clause to avoid disputes.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

A master agreement governs the framework arrangements. You require additional documents for specific situations.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You will collaborate structurally on an equal footing Cooperation Agreement For a joint project or partnership, you define roles and input instead of a purchasing relationship.
You exchange confidential information Confidentiality Agreement For stronger protection of trade secrets, enter into a separate confidentiality agreement.
You have personal data processed Data Processing Agreement If your partner processes personal data, the GDPR requires you to have a data processing agreement.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a framework agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what framework agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a framework agreement?
A master agreement — also known as a framework agreement — is the agreement that structures the long-term commercial relationship between two parties by establishing the generic conditions that apply to all future individual assignments, orders, or transactions. The master agreement itself does not lead to a specific delivery obligation; it forms the contractual framework under which the individual assignments are subsequently placed. Each individual assignment — the call-off order or task order — is a separate agreement that regulates the specific arrangements for that transaction, but the generic conditions of the master agreement apply. Master agreements are concluded for IT services, business services, facility contracts, and supplier relationships. Our lawyers draft a master agreement for you that fully establishes the generic conditions, legally regulates the interface with the individual task orders, and correctly formulates the duration and price revision.
How do you regulate the relationship between the framework agreement and task orders?
The hierarchy between the master agreement and task orders is one of the most critical aspects of the contract structure. In general, the task order prevails in the event of a conflict with the master agreement if the task order contains a later and more specific provision. However, in some cases, the master agreement must prevail—particularly regarding minimum quality requirements, price caps, and liability limitations intended by the client as a hard floor. Your master agreement must explicitly stipulate the hierarchy clause: does the master agreement or the task order prevail in the event of a conflict, and for which categories of provisions? Our lawyers draft a hierarchy clause that correctly protects your interests.
How do you handle price revisions and minimum purchase obligations?
Framework agreements typically run for one to three years, sometimes longer. Over that period, market prices and the service provider's costs can fluctuate significantly. Your framework agreement must include a price revision clause that sets out the frequency and method of price adjustments — annual indexation based on the CPI or another method. With a framework agreement without a minimum purchase obligation, the service provider has no certainty regarding the volume of its order flow; with an overly rigid minimum purchase obligation, the client risks payment for unused capacity. The framework agreement must clearly define the purchase obligation — or the lack thereof — and the consequences of falling short. Our lawyers draft a balanced framework agreement that protects both parties.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers map out the nature of the long-term relationship, the service package, and your specific wishes. Based on this, we draft a framework agreement that fully sets out the generic conditions, legally regulates the interface with task orders, and correctly formulates the price revision.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
