The bottleneck

Production moves in hours. Manufacturing contracts move in weeks.

Your terms of sale get rebuilt from last year’s file, the customer’s agreement waits in a review queue, and the redlines go back and forth by email while a purchase order waits on a signature.

Without goHeather

  • Each new supply agreement is copied from an old deal and patched by hand
  • Long customer agreements sit in a queue while the deal cools
  • Outside counsel is billed for routine terms of sale
  • Redlines travel by email, and nobody is sure which version is current
  • Nobody can say what was agreed on the last ten contracts

With goHeather

  • A first draft built from your own template in minutes
  • A first-pass review of the customer’s paper, quoted from the contract
  • One playbook applied to every site and region
  • The redline exported to Word with track changes, and versions compared side by side
  • E-signatures collected, and the signed copy stored securely
Drafting

Draft a supply agreement or terms of sale from your own templates

Start from your standard terms of sale or from a lawyer-made template, answer a few questions about the deal, and approve the outline goHeather proposes. You get a complete first draft, and if a clause is missing you can ask for it and add it.

  • Your own templates, or 10,500+ lawyer-made templates
  • Template variables filled from your answers about the deal
  • Export to Word with track changes

As a commercial lawyer, I saw many deals where it simply did not make economic sense to spend thousands of dollars on legal review. I wish goHeather’s AI contract review had existed back then.

What it covers

What goHeather drafts and checks in supply, sales and distribution agreements

The clauses it covers first in manufacturing contracts

Manufacturing contracts are long, and many of them arrive on the customer’s paper. goHeather covers the clauses below in both directions: when it drafts your terms of sale or supply agreement from your templates, and when it reviews the agreement the other side sent. In a review, each clause is quoted from your contract with a plain-English summary of what it says and how it is drafted. What you do about any of them is a decision for you and your lawyer.

Liability, indemnity and recall

These clauses decide who carries the cost when something goes wrong, and they are often the longest paragraphs in the agreement. goHeather pulls them out and shows you how each one is framed.

  • The liability cap. What it is tied to (a fixed sum, the value of one order, or amounts paid over a period) and how it is worded.
  • Carve-outs. Which obligations sit outside the cap, so you can see what the cap does and does not reach.
  • Consequential loss. Whether it is excluded, and whether the exclusion applies to both parties or only one.
  • Recall. Who decides a recall happens, who bears the cost, and whether the supplier’s share is limited.
  • Indemnity scope. How widely it is drafted, and whether it reaches claims beyond the supplier’s own acts.

Delivery, lead times and force majeure

Delivery terms are where the commercial schedule meets the contract wording. goHeather flags how tightly they are drawn.

  • Delivery timing. Whether the agreement makes timing a strict condition, and what language it uses to do so.
  • Late-delivery charges. The rate, whether there is a cap, and what other remedies sit alongside.
  • INCOTERMS. Whether one is named, and where the agreement says title and risk pass.
  • Force majeure. Which events the clause covers, and which it expressly excludes. Sub-supplier failure, raw material shortage and labor disputes are the ones manufacturers usually want to check.
  • Forecasts and firm orders. How the two relate, and what the agreement says about capacity or stock held against a forecast.

Price, volume and term

On a multi-year agreement these clauses govern what happens when input costs or order volumes move. goHeather shows you what mechanisms are in the document.

  • Price adjustment. Whether there is an index, a review date or a raw material and energy mechanism, and what triggers it.
  • Volume commitments. What each side is committed to, and whether the obligations are matched.
  • Termination. Which party can terminate, on what notice, and what the agreement says is recoverable, such as tooling, work in progress or committed raw material.
  • Payment terms and set-off. The payment period, and how widely any set-off right is drafted.
  • Renewal. Whether the agreement renews automatically, and the notice window for stopping it.

IP, tooling and quality

  • Tooling. What the agreement says about ownership, who holds and maintains the tool, and what happens to it at the end of the term.
  • IP assignment. How broadly it is drafted, and whether it extends past the customer’s design to the supplier’s own process.
  • Quality agreements and specifications. Whether a separate document is incorporated by reference, and what the agreement says about changing it.
  • Audit and inspection. Notice periods, access, and confidentiality for anything seen on site.

How goHeather fits your contract process

Most manufacturers sign more agreements than their legal budget can cover, so routine contracts either go out unread or wait weeks in a queue. goHeather covers each stage. Draft your terms of sale or a supply agreement from your own template, or upload the customer’s purchase agreement and get a review with each clause above quoted and summarized. Send back a redline in Word with track changes, compare the version that returns, then collect e-signatures and store the signed copy. The contracts that need a lawyer are the ones that reach one.

goHeather is a contracts AI, not a law firm. It tells you what your agreement says and what to look at. It does not tell you what to accept.
