Document background
The Supply And Installation Agreement is a specialized contract used when a supplier not only provides equipment or systems but also takes responsibility for their installation at the customer's premises. This document is particularly important in complex industrial, technological, or infrastructure projects where proper installation is crucial for the equipment's functionality. Under Swiss law, it combines elements of both sales contracts (Kaufvertrag) and work contracts (Werkvertrag), requiring careful consideration of the Swiss Code of Obligations' provisions. The agreement typically includes detailed technical specifications, delivery terms, installation procedures, testing protocols, warranty provisions, and liability arrangements. It's designed to clearly delineate responsibilities, minimize potential disputes, and ensure compliance with Swiss technical standards and safety regulations. This type of agreement is especially relevant when the proper functioning of the supplied equipment depends significantly on correct installation.
