Document background
The Master Framework Agreement is a fundamental commercial document used to establish long-term business relationships under Swiss law. It is particularly suitable for situations where parties anticipate multiple transactions or ongoing services and want to avoid negotiating terms repeatedly. The agreement typically includes core commercial and legal terms that will apply to all future specific agreements, purchase orders, or statements of work, while allowing flexibility for transaction-specific details to be agreed upon separately. This type of agreement is commonly used in Switzerland and internationally when parties choose Swiss law for its stability and well-developed commercial law framework. The document combines Swiss legal requirements with international best practices in commercial contracting, making it suitable for both domestic and cross-border business relationships.
