A manufacturer is an entity that makes a good through a process involving raw materials, components, or assemblies, usually on a large scale with different operations divided among different workers. Commonly used interchangeably with producer.

FAQ
A distribution agreement, also known as a distributor agreement, is a contract between a supplying company with products to sell and another company that markets and sells the products. The distributor agrees to buy products from the supplier company and sell them to clients within certain geographical areas.
Differences between agency and distribution An agent is appointed to negotiate or conclude contracts on the supplier's behalf. A distributor effectively becomes the supplier and contracts are made directly between the distributor and the customer.
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.
Distribution agreements often include terms about termination conditions, allowing either party to exit the contract under specified circumstances. These contracts can also address intellectual property rights, ensuring that distributors understand how to handle branding and proprietary information.
