INTRODUCTION

A Memorandum of Understanding is a legal arrangement between two or more parties. As the nomenclature may suggests, a MOU is used to establish an official partnership between two or more parties. Such parties may be individuals or organisations. MOUs set the step and direct the parties towards further developing more enhanced MOUual and binding agreements. Memorandum of Understanding is also known as the letter of intent.

PROCESS

The process of drafting Memorandum of Understanding

  1. Identifying the parties: The MOU begins by identifying the parties who will be subject to the arrangement.
  2. Object of the MOU and obligations: the MOU should include the purpose for which it is drawn. it should clearly identify the obligations of all the parties and should be as nuanced as possible. As it aims at laying ground for long term association, it should also enumerate upon the future expectations and the possible associations that the two parties might form with one and another.
  3. Scope and responsibilities: It should specify the role that each party has to play in the arrangement. It should list down the operational activity and specialisation of each party.
  4. Consideration: as a contract is a reciprocal arrangement, the consideration that will be paid against the performance has to be clearly mentioned. Unless the MOU has a legally valid consideration, it will not be enforceable.
  5. Indemnity and other clauses: The parties may also include clauses of indemnity, which is undertaking the loss of another party, which arises while performing the subject matter of the MOU. They may also include other clauses like confidentiality, etc.
  6. Commencement and termination: The MOU must specify the tenure for which such MOU will be operational.
