Which Contract Terms Matter When Using Manufacturer-Owned Designs?

Manufacturer-owned designs require clear licensing, modification, resale, and repeat-order terms.

Design access, ownership, and exclusivity are separate questions that should be documented. Paying for a sample does not by itself establish every usage right; clarify existing intellectual property, new development outputs, permitted modifications, and access to transferable files. Confirm access rights if the supply relationship ends.
