Scope
Detailed description of assets, drawings, site locations, serial numbers, and acceptance criteria so parties understand exactly what is being transferred.
A complete, well-structured Infrastructure Purchase Agreement reduces closing risk, limits post-closing disputes, clarifies transfer of title and liabilities, and ties payments to verifiable acceptance criteria.
Typical teams who prepare or rely on an Infrastructure Purchase Agreement include procurement, legal, project management, and facilities or operations groups.
Multiple stakeholders must coordinate exhibits, signatory authority, and acceptance tests to ensure enforceability and timely project handover.
A procurement manager negotiates commercial terms, defines payment milestones, and coordinates vendor deliverables. They ensure invoice schedules align with acceptance testing and that purchase orders and the agreement are consistent before execution.
An authorized executive or officer signs on behalf of the buyer or seller and must provide evidence of authority (board resolution or corporate certificate) when requested to validate the signature for title transfer.
