Overview

A Distribution Agreement is a contract where a manufacturer or supplier grants a distributor the right to sell their products in a specific market or territory. It defines the commercial relationship between the "Principal" and the "Reseller."

Businesses need this when they want to scale their sales without setting up their own physical retail or logistics infrastructure. It is the core document for managing "channel partners" and ensuring brand consistency.

Legally, it addresses the risk of territory infringement and brand dilution. In India, it is essential for defining the relationship as "Principal-to-Principal" to ensure the manufacturer is not liable for the distributor’s independent business debts or legal violations.
