Distribution Contract

Description

Model of Distribution Contract (with or without exclusivity), where one party (Supplier) grants to the other party (Distributor) the right to promote and commercialize products under its own name and on its own account with the intention of re-selling to the end client or retailers located in a stated territory. The model serves for the distribution of different types of products (food and beverages, consumer goods, industrial supplies, machinery, etc). It is equally adaptable to different types of distribution, i.e. mass, selective and exclusive.

In the most relevant aspects of the contract (products and territory, exclusivity, non-competition, prices, delivery and payment conditions, promotional activities, services etc.), a number of alternatives have been suggested in order that the most appropriate version may be chosen for the purposes of whoever writes up the contract (Supplier or Distributor).

The language of this contract is English. It is also available in Spanish, French and German.

This is a model of Distribution Contract suitable for companies based in the same country. If the Supplier and the Distributor are based in different countries the International Distribution Contract should be used.
