Winning the Battle of the Forms for Buyer & Seller

One Hour – 10am PT / 1pm ET

What is the Battle of the Forms?

When companies buy or sell products without a “master agreement” in place, and both buyer and seller submit their forms to the other, they are doing business on a ‘battle of the forms” basis.

In that case:  Has a contract been formed?  If so, whose terms govern? How do you resolve discrepancies between the buyer’s and seller’s forms?  What is the best way to fight the battle of the forms….to win?  What can we do to avoid disputes arising from the “battle”?

These and other issues will be covered during this webinar designed to demystify this confusing area of contract law and provide a practical approach to avoiding disputes and “winning” the battle:

  • Basic guidelines in the Battle of the Forms
  • What Is and Is Not the Battle of the Forms
  • Traditional contract law: The mirror image rule and the last shot rule
  • How Uniform Commercial Code Section 2-207 (The Battle of the Forms section)  changed traditional contract law
  • Practical Approaches and Tips in fighting the battle
  • Positioning your company to “win”
  • Avoiding disputes that arise from the battle

TAKE AWAYS:

  • Suggested language to use in Buyer and Seller forms to engage in the Battle of the Forms

  • Guidelines to propose to your organization on both the buy and sell sides
  • Comprehensive PP slide deck for future reference
