Negotiation, Performance and Enforcement of Contracts

Abstract

Most intending purchasers of a computer system approach the acquisition with a deep mistrust of any printed conditions which are likely to be proffered by the supplier. In many instances, and more particularly in the past, such mistrust was by no means unfounded in every case. During recent years, however, several significant pieces of legislation have been introduced for the protection of purchasers and, during the same period, suppliers have become increasingly aware of the necessity to offer standard contracts which are likely to be acceptable and which are competitive.
