prisavtale

Prisavtale is a contractual agreement in which one party, typically a seller, and another, usually a buyer, agree on price terms for goods or services over a defined period. The arrangement may be a standalone contract or part of a broader procurement or supply agreement. A prisavtale can specify fixed prices for the entire period, or use a formula or index-based mechanism to adjust prices (for example tied to inflation, raw material costs, or exchange rates). The agreement often includes related terms such as discount levels, minimum or maximum quantities, delivery schedules, service levels, and payment terms. It may also set the duration, renewal options, and conditions for price revisions or termination.

Types commonly encountered include fixed-price agreements, indexed or formula-based price agreements, volume-based pricing, and framework agreements that establish price terms for future orders. Prisavtaler are frequently used in business-to-business contexts, such as supplier contracts, manufacturing, wholesale, and IT licensing. In public procurement, price terms may be established through framework agreements or prisavtaler that guide subsequent call-offs.

Legal and regulatory considerations are important. Price agreements between competitors can raise competition-law concerns if they fix or restrain prices unlawfully; agreements between buyer and seller are generally permissible when they do not unduly restrict competition and are properly documented. When price adjustments are involved, clarity and transparency are essential to reduce disputes. For consumers, additional protections may apply.

Overall, prisavtaler aim to provide pricing predictability and supply security for the relationship, while balancing flexibility to respond to market changes.
