The purpose of this Toolkit is to help Company personnel understand the key provisions of the Company Services Agreement (the “CSA”) and to facilitate negotiation of these provisions, whether used as part of the CSA or as insertions to customer agreements.
For each issue, the Toolkit provides:
- A statement regarding the purpose of the CSA provision.
- Supporting arguments in favor of the provision.
- Requests for changes to the provision that customers may commonly make.
- An argument opposing the customer request and/or a description of a “fallback” position that may be taken in response to a customer request.
- For provisions for which a fallback position is appropriate, fallback language to insert in the contract.
