Problem: Article: Some contracts are absolutely non-negotiable, such as an End User License Agreement (EULA), or shrink-wrap license agreement, for a product such as iTunes. If you find that a contract is non-negotiable, you must decide whether or not to agree to it as the terms of the contract exist. Other contracts may be negotiable to some extent. In this situation, you should ask the other party whether he or she is willing to negotiate some of the contract terms if you disagree with them. Before you attempt to negotiate a contract, you need to have a specific idea about your desired outcome. For example, if you want to extend an apartment rental lease term, then you should know exactly how long you would like the term extension to be. Before beginning negotiations, you should determine exactly where you or your company stands with respect to each of the negotiable terms. Make a list of non-negotiable contract terms that you absolutely require. If you cannot reach agreement with the other party, these terms are so important to you that they will prevent you from entering into the contract. Make a list of contract terms on which you are willing to compromise or negotiate. These are the terms that, in an ideal world, would be included in a final contract, but you are willing to live without them in order to secure the contract. Make a list of contract terms that are unimportant to you. In other words, you have no preference as to whether these terms are included in the contract or not. Do not share these lists with the other contracting parties. You will use these lists during the negotiation process, but keep them to yourself so that you don't reveal your negotiation strategy with the other parties. Know the lowest or highest point you can accept and still enter into the contract. For example, assume that you are a strawberry farmer and you absolutely must get at least $100.00 for a particular shipment in order to make ends meet. In this case, your bottom line sales price would be $100.00. Gather any facts, figures and documents you may need to back up your negotiation points. Doing so will give you support for your position on each issue that may be persuasive to the other party to the contract. You can share this checklist with the other party prior to beginning the negotiations process. When you negotiate a contract, it helps if both sides agree to this agenda before the negotiation session begins. There may already be a deadline in place that you'll need to follow. For example, if a shipment of strawberries needs to be sold within three days, the sales contract must be finalized within that timeframe. Prepare for the possibility that you and the other party will not be able to agree on terms within the necessary timeframe. For example, you may agree to schedule a mediation after two failed contract negotiation meetings. On the other hand, you may cease negotiating the contract altogether. This technique will help you reach an agreement faster and with less resistance and time-consuming inquiries. While you do not want to provide the other party with your negotiation strategy, you can disclose all of the facts surrounding your contract negotiation requests, provide documentation of any facts or figures you use to support your requests, communicate openly about your interests and be receptive to the other party's counter-presentations. This will promote cooperation and aid both parties' openness to mutually beneficial solutions. Remember that by signing a contract, you are entering into a relationship with another person or company. You do not want to tarnish that relationship with negativity before it even begins.
Summary: Determine what contract provisions are negotiable. Identify your objectives for entering into the contract. Analyze all of the terms to be included in the contract. Determine your "bottom line" for each disputed contract term. Collect documentation to support your position on each disputed contract term. Create a checklist of items to address during negotiations. Set a timeframe within which to reach an agreement on disputed terms. Build trust with the other party. Approach the negotiations with a positive attitude.
