Patricia,
the American Bar Assoc ( www.abanet.org)
has a pretty good book on their model TPA agreement. In my experience the simpler the TPA the easier they are to get signed (common
sense). I have worked in some
industries where it can take years to get complex lengthy ones to be
negotiated and signed. Usually the TPA
only includes technical issues and not business pricing/terms issues which
is not to say the TPA can not have this
information. Typically the pricing/terms information is addressed in
a different document. If your terms or pricing
change you don't want to have to readdress the TPA.

Conditions
Hello Patricia:
This is how we do it:
We the
contract is negotated we state that not only are these the terms but they have
to tansmit that data to us via EDI. If not EDI some other agree upon
electronic transfer means (FTP, XML, Secure E-mail Attachment, CD) We
also explain that The EDI department will require you to sign a TPA, That
states that you will pay for your transportation cost and we will pay for
ours. The actuall terms are not transmitted within the document.
Saves on KC Charge.

Could
some of you from the list comment or point me to information on
"Best
Practices" for communicating Terms & Conditions for EDI purchase
orders? We
have had a request from Merchandising executives that the
Terms & Conditions be
sent with every EDI PO. My understanding is
that this documentation should be
an addendum to the trading partner
agreement, but since we are having so much
trouble getting partners to sign
TPAs, it seems to have become an issue.
I'm sure this may have been
discussed at some earlier date, so if someone could
address how to access
the archives, that would be welcome as well.
I'd appreciate any
information you could share.
