Scope and Contents

The Contracts and agreements subseries consists of various business agreements between Think Outside and other companies. There is also correspondence, notes, and company information about business partners or prospective business associates. These accompanying documents show the research and planning behind forming relationships between businesses. The contracts and agreements included are non-disclosures, development agreements, term sheets, license agreements, purchase agreements, statements of work, and consulting or professional service agreements.

A non-disclosure agreement legally binds the signer(s) from making available nonpublic business information, including but not limited to technology, financial forecasts, operations, assets and liabilities, and business strategies. The agreements also protected the sharing of engineering documents, research and development, manuals, reports, sales and marketing plans, software source code, designs, drawings, product information, pricing information, and customer information. Think Outside non-disclosures typically terminated after three years.

Term sheets are an outline of the conditions that both parties will agree to. A term sheet is not as defined as the finalized agreement, but rather gives insight into the development of the agreement. It often still includes vital information related to project evaluation, product definition, and team responsibilities.

Purchase agreements are between the seller (Think Outside) and the manufacturer. The outline the terms and conditions of the number of units produced; the software license; support services; trademark rights; purchase order procedures; pricing; delivery of goods; invoicing; warranty; insurance; and safety, environmental, and exporting legal compliance. Additional information outlined includes product specifications, packaging, and functional requirements. There are several original equipment manufacturer (OEM) purchase agreements.

Consulting agreements, or professional services agreements, define the consultant's deliverables, compensation, billing process, term, warranty, ownership rights, limitation of liability, and confidentiality.

A statement of work (SOW) provides a narrative description of the project's work requirements. It defines a detailed account of project activities, the scope of work, deliverables, timeline, roles and responsibilities, and payment terms.

License and development agreements grant the licensee the right to use and earn revenue from the licensor/owner of the copyrighted or patented material. The agreement outlines the obligations of both parties related to marketing, patents, fees and payments, proprietary rights, confidentiality, and agreement termination.
