Protect Your Cash Flow. Ensure Timely Delivery. Reduce Business Disputes.
Late payments and delivery delays are two of the biggest risks businesses face—especially for startups, MSMEs, manufacturers, and service providers. In most cases, these problems don’t arise from bad intentions, but from poorly drafted or unclear contracts.
A well-structured contract sets expectations upfront, assigns accountability, and gives you legal protection when commitments are not met.
Why Payment and Delivery Risks Occur
Many businesses rely on contracts that:
❌ Lack clear payment timelines
❌ Do not define delivery milestones
❌ Miss penalty or escalation clauses
❌ Are silent on delays and consequences
When disputes arise, these gaps make recovery difficult and costly.
How Proper Contract Drafting Protects Your Business
1. Clear Payment Terms
A professionally drafted contract specifies:
✔ Pricing structure and invoices
✔ Payment milestones and due dates
✔ Late payment interest and penalties
✔ Tax responsibilities (GST, TDS)
Risk reduced: Fewer delays and stronger legal recovery rights.
2. Defined Delivery Timelines & Milestones
Contracts should clearly state:
✔ Delivery schedules
✔ Acceptance criteria
✔ Consequences of delay
Risk reduced: Prevents excuses and ensures accountability.
3. Penalty & Liquidated Damages Clauses
Proper drafting includes:
✔ Pre-agreed penalties for delay
✔ Compensation for losses
✔ Incentives for timely performance
Risk reduced: Encourages compliance without litigation.
4. Clear Scope & Change Management
Ambiguous scope causes delays and payment disputes.
Strong contracts define:
✔ Exact scope of work
✔ Change request and approval process
✔ Impact on cost and timelines
Risk reduced: Eliminates unpaid work and delivery confusion.
5. Termination & Suspension Rights
When payments or deliveries fail, contracts must allow:
✔ Suspension of services or supply
✔ Termination for breach
✔ Recovery of outstanding dues
Risk reduced: Provides leverage and exit options.
6. Dispute Resolution & Escalation Mechanism
Well-drafted contracts include:
✔ Clear escalation steps
✔ Arbitration or mediation clauses
✔ Governing law and jurisdiction
Risk reduced: Faster, less expensive resolution.
7. Force Majeure & Delay Protection
Unexpected events can disrupt timelines.
Strong clauses define:
✔ Legitimate force majeure events
✔ Notice and mitigation obligations
✔ Extensions and reliefs
Risk reduced: Protects both parties from unfair claims.
