sopimuskohteiset

Sopimuskohteiset is a Finnish term used to describe the objects, assets, services, or outputs that are the subject of a contract. The phrase appears in legal drafting, procurement documents, service agreements and other contractual texts to designate what the contract obliges the parties to deliver, procure, manage or otherwise define as the contract’s scope.

Etymology and sense: the word is a compound of sopimus (contract) and kohteinen/kohde (target or object). In Finnish legal language, related forms such as sopimuskohde refer to the object or matter of a contract, and sopimuskohteiset can function as an adjective or plural noun describing multiple such objects.

Usage in practice: the precise meaning of sopimuskohteiset depends on the definitions section of the contract. Examples include: in a construction contract, the sopimuskohteet are the works and deliverables; in a lease or rental agreement, the sopimuskohteet are the assets being leased; in outsourcing, the sopimuskohteiset are the contracted tasks or services. The term helps distinguish contracted items from other elements of a business relationship, such as obligations, liabilities, or performance criteria.

Context and translations: sopimuskohteiset is a specialized term used primarily in Finnish legal and contract-management contexts. In English, it is often translated as “contractual objects,” “subject matter of the contract,” or “contractual targets,” with the exact sense determined by the contract’s wording.
