You should plan for contract negotiations with international partners to take several weeks or even months. You are likely to encounter one or more of the following challenges while trying to come to an agreement on terms and conditions:

Problematic foreign laws and/or hierarchies.
Export control laws.
Intellectual property (IP).
Concerns about currency conversion/fluctuation.
Cultural differences.
Communication barriers (language and time zone).

Do not sign a contract on behalf of ASU unless you are authorized to do so through ASU’s Contract Authority Policy (PUR 107). Only ASU’s president and a limited number of delegates have signature authority. If you are not one of these individuals and you sign a contract, you may be held personally liable and the contract may be considered invalid. For additional information, see the Office of General Counsel’s page on contract signature authority.
