2. Contracts are agreements, drafted to seal the relationship between two or parties. It             is used as a tool to list down the terms and conditions and enforce compliance.                   Contracts help the involved parties to stay on track in honoring the contract, a lack of               which can cause repercussions. However, ensuring compliance is a complex activity,           especially when companies have innumerable contracts to manage. Incorporating         contract management software is one of the best ways to ensure compliance on the             part of all the involved parties. But even with an agile software system, at certain                 times enforcing compliance becomes a challenge, where a cautionary step could           mangle the trade relationship. We've listed a few tips to ensure contract compliance           without damaging the vendor/client/partner relationships.                                                                                                                               Consensus On The Goal  Every trade relationship works toward a common goal, which benefits the involved             parties. Contracts are seen as a physical reminder that entails the duties of the             parties. The company and the involved parties need to understand the ultimate goal             and reach a consensus. The companies can establish boundaries and the           operational scenario, which enables the vendor/client to understand the nature of           business and make accommodations accordingly.                                                                    Terms And Conditions  The most important part of the contract is the terms and conditions section. The                 rules and regulations in conducting the business and the penalties in the case of a             failure or mishap are included in this section. With an agile ​vendor contract               management software​, the contract team can collaborate and nail down the         essentials with due attention and acceptance of the involved parties.                                                           Addendums  In the course of business, certain situations call for a change or update in the             contracts. For example, during the COVID-19 lockdown, most of the contracts across           industry verticals had to go through force majeure, which caused a considerable             amount of loss in every sector. With a ​contract lifecycle management software​, the                 companies can update the terms of contracts by adding provisions and clauses in             the form of addendums. It provides all the involved parties to assess the current               situation and make a decision that benefits everyone optimally.                                                                                    With the above tips, the contract management users can ensure that the terms are             met comprehensively, thereby enforcing compliance.
