Why You Should Attend
 

The relationship between a purchasing agent and seller is a legal one, and any purchase orders placed by a purchasing agent are legal documents.  They commit your company, as well as the vendor's company, to definite reciprocal obligations. 

So how can you be sure that:  

·         a purchase order accurately expresses the agreement with your suppliers?

·         a legally-binding and valid contract has been executed to ensure delivery of goods?

·         the contract has been properly extended to attain the goals of sound procurement and physical supply practice?

A working knowledge of the most important purchasing laws is essential, as is a basic knowledge of your rights and the rights of the seller under certain circumstances.  You must, through your negotiating efforts, protect all the rights of your company in every purchase transaction.  You must also pay particular attention to the matter of warranties and the efforts of suppliers to circumvent or limit liability under the warranties.  With purchasing negotiations focusing more and more on factors other than price, the demand for Understanding the Legal Aspects of Purchasing is increasing.

At this seminar, you will learn all of the practical subtleties of purchasing contracts, steps you can take to protect your organization from expensive liability, how to provide remedies if contract terms are not met, and how to ensure the quality of goods and services legally.

The examples discussed in this seminar will be real, and the application will be on the day-to-day procedures, systems, and decisions in your company—helping you be confident that you can avert major problems.  This seminar will guide you, step-by-step, through the maze of contract law and the Uniform Commercial Code.  Special emphasis will be placed on the "How to" of reading and understanding the code and complicated legal clauses.
