The Default Distributor Agreement is an agreement with each of the retailers on our network that sets out the terms on which each retailer can use the network to supply electricity to its customers.
The term for Distribution Agreements varies, with terms being anywhere from 5 to 15 years. I try to limit the term as much as possible—especially when there is no advance, or a meager one.
Here are the steps to find and negotiate a distribution agreement: Step 1: Meet with the distributor. Step 2: Discuss the terms of distribution. Step 3: Review the details, such as marketing materials, catalogs, or product literature. Step 4: Hire a lawyer or an expert to draft the agreement.
The agreement is usually between a manufacturer or vendor and a distributor but, in some cases, may involve two distributors or a distributor and some other channel entity.
