Quality assurance agreements (QAAs) contain more than just a definition of the customer-specific requirements to be fulfilled. In addition to specifying measures to prevent defective products and services, a large number of provisions are agreed which regulate the consequences of defective performance. In addition to the legal aspects, such as contract and product liability law, QAAs are important documents for reducing company risks.
But what exactly are the legal risks associated with the specific obligations arising from a QAA and how can these obligations be sensibly implemented in practice?
What are typical customer demands in this respect and how should they be dealt with?
In addition to an overview of the basic structure of a QAA and currently discussed topics, these questions will be explored during the seminar.
You will gain an insight into the tension between legislators and insurers, customer requirements and suppliers.
