Collaboration agreement
A standard document providing a framework collaboration agreement for two parties in England and Wales to govern their co-operation on specific projects, which may be described as a contractual or unincorporated joint venture. This standard document establishes the overarching legal relationship while allowing project-specific details, such as inputs, charges, and timelines, to be defined in separate project schedules. Key provisions address the ownership and licensing of intellectual property rights created during a project, obligations of confidentiality, and data protection compliance. It also incorporates important compliance measures, setting out mutual obligations relating to anti-bribery under the Bribery Act 2010 and anti-fraud under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. This standard document further outlines clauses on warranties, indemnities, limitation of liability, and procedures for terminating individual projects or the entire agreement.
