We identified your competent distributor, but it does not stop there. A well-written agreement is very important in the beginning of the transactions between the manufacturer/supplier and the distributor. It will clearly put into writing all the agreed clauses between the two parties to avoid any conflicts in the future.
A distribution agreement is a contract or legal agreement between a manufacturer/supplier of a certain product/s and another company that is responsible for market and sell the products. The main content of the agreement is that the distributor agrees that they will purchase the products from the manufacturer/supplier and sell them to the clients within certain geographical areas. But there are major clauses that are applicable to be considered such as:
- Exclusive or Non-exclusive
- Territory
- Term/length of the Contract
- Price and Payment Terms
- Warranties
- Target/Sales Objective

- Sub-Distributors
