Contract Basics: Battle of the Forms: Presentation Materials | Practical Law

A PowerPoint presentation that can be used by counsel to train employees of a US company, who routinely engage in contract negotiations across departments like procurement, sales, human resources, and marketing. It focuses on the common conflicts that can arise from the exchange of standard terms and conditions (T&Cs) by buyers and sellers, a scenario often referred to as the "battle of the forms." This conflict can complicate the determination of prevailing terms. The presentation illustrates how a battle of the forms could arise, and how Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) addresses and resolves the conflict to determine which terms ultimately prevail.
