第二節(jié) OEM合作協(xié)議

OEM，英文全稱為Original Equipment Manufacturer，中文含義是原始設備生產(chǎn)商，俗稱定點生產(chǎn)，俗稱代工（生產(chǎn)）。基本含義為品牌生產(chǎn)者不直接生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品，而是利用自己掌握的關鍵核心技術負責設計和開發(fā)新產(chǎn)品，將生產(chǎn)環(huán)節(jié)外包（outsourcing）。

原始設備制造商具體的加工任務通過合同訂購的方式委托同類產(chǎn)品的其他廠家生產(chǎn)，之后將所訂產(chǎn)品低價買斷，并直接貼上自己的品牌商標。這種委托他人生產(chǎn)的合作方式簡稱OEM，承接加工任務的制造商被稱為OEM廠商，其生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品被稱為OEM產(chǎn)品。可見，定點生產(chǎn)屬于加工貿易中的“代工生產(chǎn)”方式，在國際貿易中是以商品為載體的勞務出口。

OEM合作協(xié)議中的常見條款涉及：總則、商標使用、產(chǎn)品質量保證、交付標準、知識產(chǎn)權、賠償責任等。

六、賠償責任（Indemnification）

在OEM協(xié)議中，因代工的一方負責生產(chǎn)和產(chǎn)品質量控制等，且往往處于合同中較為弱勢的一方，委托方往往會在協(xié)議中增加一些限制代工方的條款，督促代工一方切實履行產(chǎn)品質量保障義務，如下條款所示：

Party B agrees to defend，indemnify and hold Party A harmless against any liability，loss，expense，damage or cost arising out of personal or bodily injury or death or property damage caused directly by any defect in the products or parts thereof.
