delivery schedule
Definition
A delivery schedule is a written agreement built into a contract that spells out exactly when goods or services must be provided, including specific dates, quantities, and sometimes the location where delivery must happen. Think of it as the timeline that both parties agree to follow so everyone knows what to expect and when.
Example
If you order 500 custom t-shirts for an event, your contract might include a delivery schedule stating that 200 shirts arrive by March 1st and the remaining 300 arrive by March 15th.
Watch Out
Missing a delivery deadline outlined in the schedule can trigger financial penalties or even give the other party the right to cancel the contract entirely, so make sure any schedule you agree to is realistic before you sign.
