Supply, OEM, and ODM contracts across borders

Buy goods or manufacturing capacity in the destination. OEM is your brand on their plant; ODM is their design under your brand.

Buy goods or manufacturing capacity. Vietnam and Thailand factory corridors sit here.

A first OEM or supply line is a single matter. A factory program with quality and call-off POs is a module.

Purchase Agreement

A discrete purchase of goods. Incoterms the client already chose are facts in the pack.

Ongoing supply, not a one-off PO. Forecasts and price-change triggers belong in the pack.

Vendor onboarding paper: compliance, insurance, and who can receive POs.

Framework that later POs call off. Mid-market default for factories.

Make goods to the buyer’s specification. Site, tooling, and IP leakage sit next to the NDA.

Contract manufacturing with a third-party plant. Quality agreement usually travels with it.

OEM: your brand, their plant. Non-use NDA and quality paper are the usual neighbours.

ODM: their design, your brand. Tooling ownership and residual IP are pack facts.

Quality agreement: specs, audits, nonconforming lots. Common in medical-device and electronics supply, still a contract, not a licenses hub.

The reverse of an order form: terms that sit on every PO. Conflicts with a framework must be listed as gaps.

Warehousing and freight. Bonded vs domestic storage is a fact the pack asks.

Broker or forwarder services, not the import licence itself. That licence question is a gap, not this cluster’s hub.

OEM versus ODM?

OEM is your brand, their plant. ODM is their design, your brand. Tooling ownership and residual IP are facts.

Do Incoterms belong in the pack?

If you already chose them, they are facts on a purchase or supply line. Orbid does not pick CIF versus FOB.

Is a quality agreement a licenses hub?

No. Specs, audits, and nonconforming lots are contract facts.
