IACCM Distribution / 3^rd Parties Network

Group Charter:

The purpose of the Contracting Models Network is to provide its members with insights to new trends and emerging practices in the fields of contract, commercial and relationship management. While these will be in the context of the distribution and 3^rd party contracting models, they will draw from knowledge and ideas that are current and from relevant sectors. A key goal is to improve the performance of contracts and relationships in distribution and 3^rd party environments.

The objectives will be met by sharing ideas, discussing challenges, exploring new directions and, where appropriate, initiating research or inviting experts to present on key topics related to distribution and 3^rd party environments.

Meetings will be “virtual” by phone or webinar, unless in specific cases there is an agreed wish to have physical meetings or workshops to develop specific initiatives.

Group Mission/Vision:

Provide its members with insights to new trends and emerging practices in the fields of contracting, commercial and relationship management related to distribution and 3^rd party environments.

Enterprise License Agreement: Everything You Need to Know

An enterprise license usually permits unlimited use of a product or system throughout an enterprise, although some limitations and restrictions may apply. An enterprise license eliminates the need to register a software program every time it is installed on a new device or used by a new person in the enterprise. Sometimes an enterprise password is set for those in the company to use the program.

Contract templates: we must do better

According to IACCM's most recent benchmark survey, some 92% of corporations operate with standard template agreements. In the traditional 'battle of the forms', the buyer templates are generally the winner. That typically means that both sides lose.

Blockchain: what are the opportunities for Procurement?

Bertrand Maltaverne writes an excellent summary on blockchain and its potential to transform trade practices. It is important to understand the implications of the blockchain technology, because it has unique characteristics that represent a breakthrough with tremendous value for Procurement. Describing blockchain as a form of digital trust is more meaningful, and it gives a better idea of its true potential.

Proportionate Liability Clauses

Proportionate Liability (or net contribution) clauses allocate liability for losses in proportion to each party's contributory fault in causing the loss. By contrast, the common law principle of Contributory Negligence precluded recovery by a claimant who was in part responsible for the loss. Alternatively, Joint and Several Liability allows a claimant to seek full recovery for any contractual responsibility. However, the claimant may not claim damages for more than total loss.
