L4M3 Exam Dumps : Commercial Contracting

Advantages of using fixed pricing arrangement are as below:

- Budget/income certainty - prices are fixed up front and should not change

- The impact of changes to the supplier's cost base is not fed through to the purchaser. If costs diminish, the supplier will benefit from this, and if costs rise, the purchaser will benefit

A false statement that induces a party to enter a contract constitutes misrepresentation. This provides the misled party with remedies that may include rescission (cancellation of the contract) and, depending on the type of misrepresentation (fraudulent, negligent), possibly damages as well.

When a party takes on a contractual obligation, they are legally required to perform the obligation.

That same contracting party is still entitled to subcontract out the work to another service provider, unless the contract:

- is a contract for personal services, such an employment contract

- contains an express term preventing subcontracting out the work, or an implied term

Subcontracting clauses are written to control whether the contractor is entitled to subcontract, and how purchaser shall control that subcontracting process.
