L4M3 Exam Dumps : Commercial Contracting

When a buyer accepts a supplier’s standard terms and conditions, the risk is that those terms are drafted to protect the supplier, not the buyer.

Supplier terms typically limit liability, restrict warranties, and include supplier-favourable payment conditions.

Therefore, the buying organisation risks being bound by contract conditions that are favourable to the supplier (D).

A performance specification outlines the results or outputs required, rather than dictating how they should be achieved. This is ideal for innovation-focused procurement, like IT systems, as it allows suppliers to bring forward creative, technical solutions. It encourages market input and can lead to better value and performance.

International labour standards concern working conditions, fair pay, and human rights. Requiring certification to an ethical trading initiative (A) directly addresses these labour issues (e.g. ETI, SA8000).

The other options address mainly environmental performance (carbon footprint, ecological materials, waste).
