Basic Ordering Agreement

Buyer: [Company Name] · Supplier: [Company Name] · Date: [Date]

1. Purpose

This Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) establishes pre-negotiated terms, pricing, and delivery conditions for future orders of [Products/Services], to streamline the ordering process without obligating Buyer to purchase any specific quantity.

2. No Obligation to Order

This Agreement does not obligate Buyer to place any orders; each individual order is placed via a separate purchase order or task order referencing this BOA and becomes a binding contract only when issued and accepted.

3. Pricing

Pricing per Exhibit A, valid for [Period], after which prices may be renegotiated with [Notice Period] notice.

4. Terms Applicable to All Orders

Unless a specific order states otherwise, all orders placed under this BOA are governed by: [payment terms, delivery requirements, warranty terms, and other standard terms set out here].

5. Term

This BOA remains in effect for [Term], and either party may terminate with [Notice Period] notice; termination does not affect orders already placed and accepted.

6. Priority of Terms

If an individual order's terms conflict with this BOA, [the BOA's general terms control, except where the order explicitly states it supersedes a specific BOA provision].


Buyer: ______________________ Date: ____________ Supplier: ______________________ Date: ____________

*A Basic Ordering Agreement's core value is avoiding renegotiating the same boilerplate terms every time a new order comes up — pricing, payment terms, and delivery standards are locked in once, so placing an actual order becomes a quick reference to this BOA rather than a fresh negotiation.*
