Why should I use a playback document?

A playback document is a pre-agreement that covers the terms of commercial offering. Use one to ensure that both parties involved in a commercial transaction are on the same page about what is expected.

It is an all too familiar scenario. Having run a tender you choose your supplier and as you get to the final negotiation you hit a hurdle. What YOU thought you had agreed is not what THEY thought you had agreed.

Use a playback document to avoid this scenario.

Key Benefits

• To avoid misunderstandings: A playback document clearly outlines the terms and conditions of the commercial proposition. This can help to avoid misunderstandings and disagreements down the road.
• To provide a framework for negotiation: The playback document should be used as a framework for the legal negotiations. This ensures that both parties are on the same page about what is being negotiated.
• To provide a record of the agreement: The playback document serves as a record of the agreement between both parties. This can be helpful in case of any disputes or disagreements.

Key Points

• Be clear and concise: The playback document should be clear and concise. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that the other party may not understand.
• Be specific: The playback document should be specific. It should clearly state the terms and conditions of the commercial proposition.
• Be accurate: The playback document should be accurate. It should be free of errors and omissions.
• Be complete: The playback document should be complete. It should cover all of the relevant terms and conditions of the commercial proposition.
