Introduction
OEM is the abbreviation of Original Equipment Manufacturer. The term is widely used but there is no
generally recognised definition of the term. Existing OEM contracts are not even consistent as to
1
whether the buyer or the seller is referred to as the “Manufacturer”. In order to avoid any confusion in
this model contract, the Parties are referred to as the “Purchaser” and the “Supplier”.
OEM contracts are usually long term arrangements which cover the supply of products which the
Purchaser to a greater or lesser extent integrates with his own products. The Supplier manufactures
and usually designs the products but the Purchaser acts outwardly as the producer. OEM contracts
can be divided into three categories depending on the extent to which the products are integrated with
the Purchaser’s products. The contracts may cover the supply of :
This model is primarily intended for category 2). It can also, with appropriate adjustments (e.g.
regarding trademarks), be used for category 1), which is in reality a normal subcontract. Category 3) is
in reality a distribution contract where the distributor sells the product with his own trademark. This
model contract can be amended to cover such a situation but the parties would be better served by
using the Orgalime “Model form of exclusive agreement with distributors abroad” as a basis for this
contract.
One of the most difficult aspects of OEM contracts is that the parties are often potential competitors.
The Supplier quite often sells more or less the same product through other channels under his own
name. Or he may supply the same product to other “Original Equipment Manufacturers”.
Any restrictions on either party as to how and to whom he may sell the product will thus be crucial. If
such restrictions are not openly negotiated and clearly defined in the contract they may easily become
a source of conflict. At the same time the parties must also be aware that any such restrictions may
2
come into conflict with the applicable law on competition.
If the Purchaser sells the Supplier’s products under his own trademark, he will be regarded as
“producer” under Article 3.1 of the EC Product Liability directive and thus be subject to strict liability.
Advice on how to use the model - Users of the model should bear in mind that the model represents
only one possible solution, and that the model must therefore be carefully checked and adapted to the
circumstances of each case. In order to cover as many situations as possible, alternative variants
have been provided in certain clauses. In addition, footnotes provide detailed explanation where
appropriate. In any case, blanks have to be filled in. Furthermore, please note that Appendices to the
model contract have to be elaborated by the Parties themselves.
1
The term is used differently in different industries.

It is recommended that expert assistance is asked when such questions occur.

OEM is the abbreviation of Original Equipment Manufacturer. The term is widely used but there is no generally recognised
definition of the term. Existing OEM contracts are not even consistent as to whether the buyer or the seller is referred to as the
“Manufacturer”. In order to avoid any confusion in this model contract, the Parties are referred to as the “Purchaser” and the
“Supplier”.

Article 1
Purpose
The Supplier agrees to sell products described in Appendix 1 attached hereto and made part of this Contract,
hereinafter called “the Product(s)”, in compliance with purchase orders issued from time to time by the Purchaser
and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract.
Article 2
Restrictions on the right of resale
2.1. The Products are supplied for the specific purpose of incorporation into the Purchaser’s product or
system. The Purchaser is not allowed to resell the Products to customers who could use them to manufacture the
same type of goods as those produced by the Supplier. The Purchaser shall before selling to any third party
always check with the Supplier if the third party concerned is a competitor of the Supplier. 2
2.2. The Supplier warrants that, at the time of the signature of this Contract, he does not have any
commitment conflicting with the rights granted to the Purchaser under this Contract.
Article 3
Modifications of the Products
A party wanting a modification of the Products shall submit his proposals to the other in writing. The latter shall
agree to or reject the proposals in writing within 14 calendar days.
Article 4
Purchases forecast and Purchase orders
4.1. The Purchaser shall submit to the Supplier ...... weeks in advance a forecast for each period of .....
months, indicating the quantity of the Products that will be taken delivery of in that period. The Purchaser shall,
during that period, be obliged to take delivery of a minimum quantity which shall be ..... % of the forecast for each
type of product.
4.2. Purchase orders issued by the Purchaser shall refer to this Contract and specify quantities, applicable
prices and characteristics of the purchase, as well as its destination and required delivery dates. In any case, the
delivery period shall not be less than ……… days after receipt of any purchase order by the Supplier.
4.3. The Supplier shall within 7 calendar days confirm in writing purchase orders issued by the Purchaser.
4.4. The Supplier is entitled to refuse delivery in so far as the quantity of Products ordered exceeds the
forecast for the current period by more than ..... % for each type of product.
4.5. If the Purchaser takes delivery of less than the minimum quantity referred to in Article 4.1., the Supplier is
entitled to be paid liquidated damages on the basis of ..... % of the difference between the total price of what has
been delivered and the price of the minimum quantity for each type of product.
If the Purchaser takes delivery of less than 50 % of the minimum quantity for each type of product as referred to
in Article 4.1., the Supplier is entitled - in addition to liquidated damages as per the above para - to terminate the
Contract forthwith by giving notice in writing.
2
If the Purchaser intends to resell the Products under his own trademark but without further processing, the parties would be
better served by using the Orgalime model form of exclusive agreement with distributors abroad as a basis for their contract (cf.
introductory note).
3
Article 5
Deliveries
5.1. Unless otherwise agreed, Products will be delivered “ex works” as defined by the ICC INCOTERMS - the
edition current at the formation of the contract.
5.2. If the Purchaser anticipates that he will be unable to accept delivery of the Products at the delivery time,
he shall forthwith notify the Supplier in writing thereof, stating the reason and, if possible, the time when he will be
able to accept delivery. If the Purchaser fails to accept delivery at the delivery time, he shall nevertheless pay any
part of the purchase price which becomes due on delivery, as if delivery had taken place. The Supplier shall
arrange for storage of the Products at the risk and expense of the Purchaser. The Supplier shall also, if the
Purchaser so requires, insure the Products at the Purchaser’s expense.
5.3. If the Supplier fails to deliver Products within the agreed delivery dates, he shall pay to the Purchaser
liquidated damages at the following rate :
- ..... % of the price (as per Article 7) of the Products in delay for every completed week of delay up to a
maximum of 10 % of such price.
- When the Purchaser has become entitled to the said maximum, he shall have, in addition to the
liquidated damages, the right to cancel in whole or in part the delayed order or to terminate the Contract as
provided for in Article 16.
Any delay in delivery does not entitle the Purchaser to any rights and claims other than those expressly
stipulated in this Article 5. This limitation does not apply to wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the
Supplier. 3
Article 6
Prices
6.1. Prices for the Products are those set forth in the annexed price list (Appendix 2). The purchase price
shall include the cost of packaging, unless otherwise expressly stated in Appendix 2.
6.2. The costs for transport, handling, import, customs duties and insurance during transit shall be borne
according to the INCOTERM chosen in Article 5.1.
6.3. Prices provided herein do not include sales, use, excise, or similar taxes. Therefore the amount of any
present or future sales, use, excise or other similar tax applicable to the sale or use of the Products shall be paid
by the Purchaser.
6.4. A. The unit prices for the Products specified in the annexed price list shall not be changed for a
period of ........... When the prices are renegotiated, they shall be valid for another period of ........... If the parties
fail to agree on new prices, each party is entitled to terminate the contract by giving ..... months notice in writing.
During the period of notice, the current prices remain applicable.
B. The Prices for the Products specified in the annexed price list shall be adjusted according to the
adjustment formula specified in Appendix 3 each time the application of this formula leads to an
increase/decrease of at least 3 % of the current price.
3
If German law is applicable, the last sentence of Article 5.3. should be replaced as follows: “This limitation of the Supplier’s
liability shall not apply if he has been guilty of intent or gross negligence or if the Supplier negligently causes damage to life,
body or health. Furthermore, the limitation of liability shall not apply in cases of negligent breach of a condition which goes to the
root of the Contract (“wesentliche Vertragspflichten”). In the case of slight negligence the Supplier shall be liable only for
reasonably foreseeable damage which is intrinsic to the Contract. Nor shall the said limitation of liability apply in the cases of
strict liability under the Product Liability Act (“Produkthaftungsgesetz”), for defects of the products causing death, or personal
injury, or damage to items of property used privately. Furthermore, the said limitation of liability shall not apply in the case of
defects the Supplier has fraudulently concealed or whose absence he has guaranteed.
4
Article 7
Terms of payment
Payments shall be made in .................. (currency). Except as otherwise agreed, payment shall be made within 30
days after the date of invoice.
Article 8
Quality assurance and Inspections ,
4 5
8.1. The Supplier confirms that he has established and will maintain a quality system accepted by the
Purchaser.
8.2 The Purchaser may at any reasonable time inspect the Supplier’s final test facilities which will or may be
used in the performance of this Contract, and inspect and test material and workmanship related to the Products
purchased hereunder. The Purchaser shall give the Supplier reasonable prior notice of the dates on which the
inspections will take place. All inspections and tests shall be performed in such a manner as not to delay the work
unduly.
Article 9
Acceptance tests
9.1. The Purchaser shall have the right to request that acceptance tests are carried out on the Products
before delivery in accordance with Appendix 4. Products can be rejected if the acceptance tests show that the
Products are not in conformity with agreed specifications or are otherwise defective.
9.2. When acceptance tests take place at the Supplier’s factory, the Supplier shall give the Purchaser
advance notice that the Products will be ready for testing with a minimum of 20 days before scheduled delivery
dates.
9.3. After receiving notice according to Article 9.2., the Purchaser shall send his representative(s) to the
acceptance test. If he fails to do so he shall lose his right of inspection and rejection before delivery of the specific
products. Loss of such rights does not entail the Purchaser’s waiving of any other remedy available to him in case
of non-conformity to the agreed specifications or in case of other defects.
9.4. Products which have been legitimately rejected during acceptance tests shall be promptly replaced or
repaired by the Supplier at his expense. Such repair or replacement shall not affect the Purchaser’s rights under
Article 5.3.
Article 10
Defects liability period
10.1. The defects liability period for each of the Products is 12 months and starts when the Product is
delivered by the Purchaser to his customer. However, the period ends in any case 18 months after the date of
delivery to the Purchaser of the Product in question or, where Article 5.3. applies, 18 months after the risk in the
Product passed to the Purchaser.
For replaced or repaired parts a new defects liability period starts but in any case lasting no longer than 24
months after the start of the defects liability period according to the preceding paragraph.
4
Article 8.1. and 8.2. may be alternatives, depending on the scale and type of the Supplier’s quality system.
5
Depending on the complexity of the Products or on the type and scale of the Supplier’s quality system, the Purchaser may
wish to reserve the right to place at any time an engineer in the Supplier’s plant for the purposes of inspecting, consulting or
controlling the manufacturing operations. Since such a need on the Purchaser’s part may be the exception, an additional article
would have to be drawn up.
5
10.2. Upon written request of the Purchaser, the Supplier undertakes at his choice to repair or replace without
undue delay any parts of the Products which, before the expiry of the defects liability period, are shown to be
defective due to faulty material or design or poor workmanship. On the Supplier’s demand, the Purchaser shall
send replaced parts back to the Supplier at the Supplier’s expense. Such parts shall then become the Supplier’s
property.
If the Supplier fails completely or in part to remedy the defect within a reasonable time, the Purchaser may either
remedy the defect himself at the cost of the Supplier or claim a reasonable reduction of price. If, however, the
defects are such that they cannot be remedied within a reasonable time, and provided the Products cannot be
used for their specified purpose, or if such use is considerably impaired, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to
terminate the Contract in respect of such defective Products, or, if partial acceptance is not economically justified
for him, to terminate the Contract. In such case the Supplier can only be held liable to reimburse the sums which
have been paid to him for the parts affected by the termination.
10.3. The defects liability of the Supplier shall not cover defects caused by normal wear and tear, inadequate
maintenance or faulty repair, failure to observe the operating instructions, over-loading, use of any unsuitable
material, effect of chemical or electrolytic action, or assembly work not undertaken by the Supplier, or resulting
from other reasons beyond the Supplier’s control.
The defects liability of the Supplier does not cover defects caused by modifications undertaken by the Purchaser
or a third party without the consent of the Supplier.
10.4. The remedies open to the Purchaser in this Article are the only remedies open to him with respect to
defects. All other remedies open to him by the applicable national law are hereby expressly excluded. This
6
limitation does, however, not apply to wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Supplier.
Article 11
Spare parts
11.1. During the term of this Contract and up to 5 years after delivery of the last unit of the Products specified
herein, the Supplier shall be able to provide spare parts for the Products within reasonable time.
11.2. Spare parts are priced according to the price list in Appendix 5. For the adjustment of spare part prices
Article 6.4. applies. Article 4 applies accordingly.
Article 12
Manufacturing rights
12.1. In the event of early termination of the Contract due to the Supplier’s breach of Contract, the Purchaser
shall be granted, upon request, a non-exclusive right to manufacture or have manufactured the Products for the
purpose of this Contract during the remaining term of the originally stipulated contract period according to Article
15.2. Such right shall, where appropriate, consist of the right to one or more licences to make, use, sell or
otherwise dispose of the Product under any intellectual property rights of the Supplier. The Purchaser shall also
have the right to obtain from the Supplier all manufacturing drawings and any other technical information
necessary for the manufacture of the Product.
12.2. If the Purchaser decides to exercise the right to obtain such rights and licences, he shall pay to the
Supplier a reasonable lump sum.
6
If German law is applicable, the last sentence of Article 10.4. should be replaced by the text as provided in footnote 3.
6
Article 13
Trademarks and other intellectual property rights
13.1. The Products shall not bear any trademark or other identifying name or symbol pertaining to the
Supplier. The Purchaser shall have the right to affix, or to demand that the Supplier affixes to the Products any
trademarks as the Purchaser may decide. The Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Supplier
from any claim of infringement of third party’s rights due to the affixing of such trademark.
13.2. The Supplier warrants that Products supplied to the Purchaser hereunder do not infringe any other
intellectual property rights of any third party. The Supplier shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser and his customers from any claim arising out of infringement or alleged infringement of any such
intellectual property right of any third party by reason of the sale or use of the Products in accordance with this
Contract.
Article 14
Documents and confidential information
14.1. Each party retains all rights to documents provided to the other. The party receiving such documents
shall not - without previous written consent of the other party - make these documents available to any third party,
either in whole or in part, nor use them for purposes other than those for which they were handed over.
14.2. Confidential information provided by either party under this Contract shall not be disclosed by the
receiving party even after the termination of the Contract.
14.3. This article shall not apply to documents and information shown to be in the public domain or lawfully
brought to one party’s knowledge by third parties or which must reasonably be disclosed by the Purchaser to his
customers.
Article 15

either party immediately by registered letter in case of any fundamental breach of the Contract by the other party.
Such termination may also take place where the legal structure or ownership of one of the parties has changed in
