Can Quillio review supply chain agreements?
Yes. I review supply chain agreements for Australian buyers and suppliers. I apply the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) reporting framework, assess force majeure and liability positions, flag insurance gaps, and produce a clear memo on what to negotiate.
Modern Slavery Act
Entities with over $100 million in consolidated revenue must report annually under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth). Supply agreements should include warranties, audit rights, and termination rights that support the reporting obligation. I flag where these are missing.
Force majeure
Post-pandemic, force majeure clauses need careful drafting. I assess the trigger events, the notice mechanism, the suspension and termination thresholds, and the allocation of cost during a force majeure event.
Limitation of liability
Limitation clauses must comply with the ACL consumer guarantees (sections 64 and 64A of the Australian Consumer Law) — they cannot exclude non-excludable guarantees. I flag when a generic limitation clause falls foul of the ACL.
Step-by-step
- Upload the agreement. Upload the main agreement and any schedules.
- Tell me the side. Buyer or supplier. I focus the memo on your commercial interests.
- Confirm reporting status. Tell me if either party is a reporting entity under the Modern Slavery Act.
- Get the memo. I return the memo with Modern Slavery, ACL, force majeure, and liability positions flagged.
Common issues
- ACL consumer guarantees cannot be excluded — I flag when the drafting tries to
- Modern Slavery audit rights are often missing entirely — I propose the clauses
- Force majeure needs an explicit cost-allocation rule, not just a suspension right — I draft both
