contract hierarchy

Contracts can be organized into a hierarchy where a master agreement is the parent to one or more subagreements, and the subagreement may be the parent to another subagreement below it in the hierarchy. A standalone agreement is a contract that cannot be used within a contract hierarchy.

See also master agreement, parent agreement, subagreement.
