Drafting Notes Sample Clauses
The "Drafting Notes" clause serves as a section within a contract or legal document that provides guidance, explanations, or commentary for the benefit of the drafters or reviewers. These notes often clarify the intent behind certain provisions, suggest alternative language, or highlight issues that may require further negotiation or customization. By including drafting notes, the document helps ensure that all parties involved in the drafting process understand the rationale behind specific clauses and can make informed decisions, ultimately promoting clarity and reducing the risk of misunderstandings during contract preparation.
Drafting Notes the template includes drafting notes to aid use in the preparation of a contract between the parties. These should be removed before the contract is executed. The template assumes that the parties are familiar with the DSDM Agile Project Framework. References in the notes to the "Handbook" are references to the DSDM Agile Project Framework Handbook. The template does not describe the process or the principles on which its clauses are based and reference should be made to the Handbook as necessary. We recommend that the parties should complete the Project Approach Questionnaire (Handbook, Appendix B) before using the DSDM Agile Project Framework. If this indicates that the parties are, or will be, aligned in their understanding of the statements contained in the questionnaire then this template will provide the most suitable model for their contract. It is also recommended that the parties should revisit the questionnaire periodically (e.g. after the Feasibility or Foundations Phases) to confirm that the approach remains applicable. The template is intended to be used between two legally distinct parties, though it could also be used within a single legal body with distinct functional allocations. It therefore assumes that the Pre-Project and Post-Project Phases described in Chapter 6 of the Handbook will be conducted by the Customer outside the scope of the Contract. The template provides for the conduct of the other phases.

The template has been designed on the basis that fees and charges for services will be agreed at the outset and fixed for the duration of the framework agreement. If for a particular order the price has to be varied (for instance the cost of providing services in a particular area is higher), then the parties will have to document the variation in writing in the relevant ordering document (Purchase Order or Scope of Work).
