Document background
The Installation Agreement is a comprehensive contract used when a contractor agrees to install equipment, systems, or facilities for a customer in Austria. This document is essential for projects ranging from simple equipment installations to complex system implementations, ensuring clear definition of responsibilities, technical requirements, and legal obligations under Austrian law. The agreement incorporates key provisions from the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) and Commercial Code (UGB), while addressing specific technical standards and safety requirements. It's particularly important for protecting both parties' interests by clearly defining installation scope, acceptance criteria, warranties, and liability provisions. The Installation Agreement is commonly used in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer contexts, with appropriate modifications to comply with consumer protection regulations where applicable.
