# Create product contract

## Preliminary Remarks

Product contracts are required for the creation of subscriptions and include the essential conditions of the offer; product contracts are then added in the offer creation. The [application examples](/frisbii-media/docs/anwendungsbeispiele-produktverträge) can help to better understand how the information from the product contract is reflected in sales.

> [!TIP]
> **Note**: Since release **B.3.2421.0**, product contracts are also required for credit-based subscriptions.
