This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) guide outlines the clauses required to draft a preliminary agreement between two parties, serving as a foundation for future contracts. It covers essential clauses such as purpose, responsibilities, duration, and confidentiality, along with provisions for amendments, notices, and dispute resolution.
