Joint Venture Agreement Overview
A group of people or businesses that want to partner up on a project or venture without having it affect their individual legal status file a joint venture (JV) agreement. The Joint Development Agreement establishes the parameters of shared effort, disparity, and makes it easier to include clauses for profit-sharing and enterprising operations. It also creates a binding contract between the two parties. Before entering into a joint development agreement, the parties involved typically create an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding).
A Joint Venture Agreement's advantages
Minimal Liability
A joint venture agreement enables a company to collaborate with another one while yet maintaining its own distinct legal identity. As a result, it is a minimum liability option for companies where 100% of FDI has been used.
Access Point To New Avenues
Without experiencing any of the drawbacks associated with conducting business as a single entity, a joint venture agreement enables you to access new markets and resources while guaranteeing that the risk is shared.
Documents Required For A Joint Venture Agreement
- The name of the joint venture must appear on all documents pertaining to the venture agreement.
- All records created by either member that are related to the project or venture and reflect the performance of tasks accomplished under the contract.
- Copyrights (if any) given to one party by another party to duplicate a similar work.
- Documents that hold the venture's members harmless from lawsuits, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses incurred as a result of using the designs and drawings for one or more projects.
