Our company and commercial solicitors can assist you with reviewing, negotiating, amending or drafting distribution agreements.
Whether you are the supplier, manufacturer or the distributor we can help you ensure the distribution agreement reflects the agreement reached and adequately protects your interests.
Key considerations we would assist you with include:
- Whether your requirements would favour an agency or distribution agreement
- The type of distribution arrangement – will the rights be exclusive, sole, non-exclusive or selective
- What is the term of the agreement and in what circumstances can it be terminated
- What will the terms of supply of the products be
- Will there be any minimum purchase obligations
- What will the delivery terms be
- What will the prices be
- What are the payment terms
- What are each parties’ advertising/marketing obligations
- What will the trade mark conditions be and how must the items be packaged
- How will product liability issues, insurance and warranties be dealt with
- Are there confidentiality considerations
