What you get: Industry-grade contracts that are enforceable in India, crystal-clear on specs and quality, and wired for smooth logistics, payments, and dispute resolution.
What IndiaUnbox drafts for you

- Master Supply Agreement + PO Terms – commercial framework, pricing architecture (including indexation where needed), delivery & risk transfer, warranties, and remedies.
- Specifications & Quality Annex – drawings, materials, critical-to-quality (CTQ) parameters, acceptance criteria (AQL plans), test methods, and change-control workflow.
- Trade & Logistics Schedule – Incoterms® 2020 rule selection (EXW/FCA/FOB/CIF/DDP etc.), document set, packaging/marking, and title/risk milestones.
- Payments & Security Pack – advance/balance mechanics, LC/collections/guarantees wording aligned to UCP 600 / URC 522 / URDG 758 so banks pass the documents without friction.
- Compliance & IP – BIS/QCO obligations (where applicable), tooling & IP ownership, confidentiality, and data-protection addendum.
India-specific legal anchors we build in (why your contract stands up)
- Validity of contract: We draft to the essentials under Section 10, Indian Contract Act, 1872 (free consent, competent parties, lawful consideration/object). This is the baseline for enforceability.
- Sale of goods realities: We codify implied undertakings (title, description, quality/fitness) and align risk transfer to your chosen Incoterm, noting the default rule that risk prima facie passes with property (Section 26, Sale of Goods Act, 1930).
- Stamping & admissibility: We guide e-stamp and value so the agreement isn’t knocked out in court: instruments not duly stamped are inadmissible in evidence until duty/penalty is paid (Section 35, Indian Stamp Act, 1899).
- E-sign & electronic evidence: Where you prefer digital execution, we use valid electronic signatures (IT Act Section 5) and include a process to generate a Section 65B Evidence Act certificate for admissibility of electronic records.
- Fast, predictable dispute resolution: For India-seated arbitration, we reference Section 29A, Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996, which targets an award within 12 months (extendable by 6 months by consent). This keeps matters time-bound.
- Mandatory standards: Where a product falls under a BIS Quality Control Order (QCO), we write license compliance and marking into the contract (and block shipment without valid license).
Quality & specification control (so cost-down never becomes quality-down)
- Acceptance sampling: Your QA annex cites AQL plans per ISO 2859-1 / IS 2500-1 (identical adoption in India)—with inspection levels, critical/major/minor defect thresholds, and lot acceptance logic.
- First-article & change control: No production switch without written Engineering Change Notice (ECN); first-article approval required for engineered parts.
- Regulatory & safety: If any BIS/QCO, chemical, or electrical standard applies, the exact IS/IEC numbers and test frequency appear in the annex.
Payment, delivery, and documents (that banks and logistics actually accept)
- Incoterms® 2020 are spelled out with place/port (e.g., “FCA—Supplier Plant, Manesar, Incoterms® 2020”) to avoid grey zones on costs and risk.
- Clean banking text:
– LCs reference UCP 600 (we also fix who pays bank charges in line with Art. 37 market practice).
– Documentary collections reference URC 522; demand guarantees reference URDG 758—all widely recognised by banks worldwide.
Remedies that work in India (and won’t get struck down)
- Liquidated damages, drafted right: We use pre-estimated damages that are reasonable and proportionate, because Indian courts award “reasonable compensation not exceeding the amount named” (Indian Contract Act Section 74).
- Force majeure vs. frustration: FM clauses are explicit and procedural; separately, we note the statutory rule that if performance becomes impossible/unlawful, the contract can become void (Section 56, Contract Act).
Data & confidentiality
If personal data will be exchanged (audits, employee data on social compliance, etc.), we include a DPDP Act, 2023 rider (with a note that enforcement is phasing in), plus current IT-Act-based privacy controls—so your obligations evolve lawfully as rules notify.
Your deliverables
- Master Supply Agreement (MSA), seller-specific
- PO Terms & Conditions mapped to Incoterms 2020 and your lanes
- Quality & Compliance Annex (AQL plans per ISO 2859-1/IS 2500-1; BIS/QCO references)
- Bankable Text Pack (LC/collections/guarantee clauses aligned to UCP/URC/URDG)
- Dispute-resolution clause set with seat/venue, language, and Section 29A timelines.
Bottom line: We don’t just write contracts—we engineer evidence-strong, India-compliant agreements that make expectations unambiguous, quality measurable, logistics smooth, and disputes unlikely (and short if they happen).
