What are the vendor's responsibilities in the purchase agreement?
Often, when buying computer software, computer hardware, or communications equipment, the vendor develops the contractual agreement concerning purchase, licensing, and maintenance. And often, this agreement falls short of the buyer's expectations. Therefore, it is important to understand what responsibilities should be required of the vendor, so as to negotiate a purchase contract that fits the buyer's needs and assures the purchase of equipment in good working condition.
