A "Contract Year" indicates what dates start and end the year used to project forecasts.

"Deliverables" are the tangible goods or intellectual property provided under an agreement for payment. "Services" are not goods or deliverables, which are the tangible results of the services. For example, if a consultant is engaged to meet with and better understand a customer's manufacturing system and then provide a written report summarizing how to improve the system, the meeting and understanding would be the services, while the report itself would be a deliverable.

A "Forecast" is a document that is an estimate of how many Deliverables the customer wants to buy from the vendor within a particular time frame, and the vendor usually represents that it will be able to supply the forecasted amount of Deliverables. Instead of a non-binding estimate, sometimes the parties make the forecast binding and the customer has to purchase the entire Forecast amount. A "Purchase Order" is a document that is an actual order (not an estimate) for Deliverables, listing the Deliverable type, quantity and delivery date. Purchase Orders are binding and require the customer to purchase the entire amount stated in the Purchase Order.

"Exclusivity" or a "Requirements Contract" means that the customer must only purchase a certain kind of Deliverable from the vendor (and not from anyone else) while the Agreement is in effect.

Once a customer takes ownership and title to goods, if the goods are damaged or lost, then that becomes the customer's responsibility. Because of these consequences, the parties usually discuss and agree on the point where ownership, title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer. "Acceptance" is the point after the customer receives the Deliverables and has concluded that the Deliverables comply with the Agreement's requirements.

A fee in this context can take many forms, including a flat fee, the total of the hours/days incurred times the hourly/daily rates, a guaranteed maximum fee, a per Service/Deliverable fee, a per milestone fee, or other arrangement.

"Payment Schedule" means when the vendor will bill the customer. The customer may prefer not to be billed until after acceptance, which is a legal concept that gives the customer a short testing period after receiving goods or services to determine whether or not they are satisfactory. The vendor instead prefers to invoice the customer upon receipt of goods or services, so that the vendor can recognize its revenue sooner.

The "Warranty Length" refers to how long the Services and/or Deliverables will perform as expected.

"Indemnification" and "Limitation of Liability" both focus on parties' responsibilities in disputes. "Limitation of Liability" covers disputes between the parties who sign the agreement. "Indemnification" focuses on a dispute where a third party sues a party who signed the agreement, and the suit was caused by the other signing party's conduct. If this other signing party is required to "indemnify" the first signing party, that means the second signing party will generally pay the legal fees and any damages awarded or settlement amounts. "Claim Elimination" deals with the situation where a third party demands that a customer no longer use a service, deliverable or product because it violates that third party's rights. Under this provision, a vendor is required to eliminate that claim or take other steps.

The "Term" means how long the contract will be in force.

An "Evergreen" term, also referred to as an "Automatic Renewal" means that once the term comes to a certain date in the future, it automatically extends for an additional time period or repeated additional time periods until either party sends notice that the term does not renew anymore.

"Termination for Convenience" means a party's right to terminate the agreement at any time for any reason at all (or even no reason), and is usually accompanied by advance written notice.

A "Subcontractor" is a third party who one of the signing parties wants to perform some of its responsibilities under the Agreement, such as providing a Service or Deliverable.

The "Governing Law" is the particular state or country's laws that you choose to apply to this contract. Often times, the governing law is the state or country within which one or both of the parties have a main office, or where they are conducting business under the contract.

"Forum", "Venue" or "Jurisdiction" refers to where disputes between the parties must be litigated. Often the parties will still be free to seek injunctions or other temporary relief outside of the forum as they see fit.

"Assignment" means the right to transfer the contract, or a right or obligation under the contract, to a third party. Usually, this is prohibited or limited to a third party buying the shares or assets of a party to the contract.
