Cooperation Framework Agreement Guide

Summary

A Cooperation Framework Agreement outlines collaboration terms, including objectives, roles, and dispute resolution. For Zimbabwe-China projects, jurisdiction often depends on the agreements choice of law clause, with Zimbabwean law potentially applying due to the projects location. Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution method involving a neutral arbitrator. A clause stating each party bears its own costs means no reimbursement is required unless travel expenses for Party A are negotiated and agreed upon in writing.

My company is in Zimbabwe and the other party in China. Projects are to be done in ZImbabwe, which jurisdiction should apply if conflicts arise???
In cases where projects are based in Zimbabwe but involve parties from China, the jurisdiction often depends on the agreement between the parties. Here are some points to consider:
- Choice of Law Clause: Check if your agreement specifies which country's laws will govern the contract.
- Location of Project: Zimbabwean law may apply since the project is conducted there.
- Dispute Resolution: Consider arbitration clauses which may specify jurisdiction.
Do you have a choice of law clause in your agreement?
