An agreement with an independent distributor who buys
goods from the merchant or manufacturer and re-sells on his
own account
About this document
This document is suitable for a person or company arranging terms for a distributor of products or services in the UK or abroad.
Arrangements between merchants and distributors are one of the few areas comparatively free of regulation. You can make the deal you want. This agreement has been drawn to provide an armoury of ideas. You can be tough or tender.
A badly set up distribution agreement provides enormous scope for misunderstanding and financial loss. This is particularly so for the merchant, who may have to wait a considerable time for payment. The use of an agreement like this one will prompt careful thought and discussion and enable you to fashion a profitable arrangement.
