Distribution Agreement

West Perth Legal provides Distribution Agreement drafting, review and negotiation services at a fixed fee with quick turnaround.

A distribution agreement is a contract between the supplier and a distributor of a product. A distribution agreement can be exclusive or non-exclusive. An exclusive distribution arrangement gives the distributor sole right to distribute the product, which could be confined to a particular area. A non-exclusive distribution arrangement allows other distributors to sell the product alongside the distributor.

A written distribution agreement is important as it sets out terms that helps to protect the brand of the product and foster its commercial success.

A distribution agreement can cover important issues including:

• Whether the distribution right is exclusive or non-exclusive
• Basic rights and obligations of the parties
• Restrictions on the distribution arrangement such as the distribution area and products
• Licensing requirements of the distributor
• Period of the distribution rights
• Ordering, invoicing, payment, and delivery processes
• Sales target and minimum performance standards
• Marketing and promotion requirements
• Dispute resolution processes
• Termination rights
• Non-compete requirements
• Insurance requirement
