The key to product longevity lies not only in highly sophisticated development and flawless production, but also in the availability of components and spare parts. Companies that launch a product onto the market, develop it on behalf of a customer or as an in-house product and then manufacture it, need to be certain of the availability of relevant components or raw materials over the entire defined life cycle.

The incipient or actual unavailability of materials and components in the supply chain, particularly due to changes in legal requirements such as the REACH, RoHS or POP regulations and the associated legal problems, pose devastating problems for companies in every industry. After all, what happens if a specific material or component is no longer available due to discontinuation, changes to technical specifications or legal changes?

Webinar objectives:
The above example shows that the supply chain is subject to great uncertainty, but requires mandatory protection.
In this webinar, we will show you how you can best protect yourself legally in the event of unavailability, what measures you can and should take throughout the supply chain and what is essential to consider when drafting contracts. With the help of concrete and comprehensible practical examples, we will show you how you can optimally draft your contracts and general terms and conditions and how you can identify, assess and minimize contractual risks and dangers.

Methodology:
The content of this webinar is presented on the basis of practical cases in such a way that it is easy to understand, especially for non-lawyers. There will be an opportunity to ask individual questions at the end of the webinar.
