A distribution agreement is a powerful tool that defines the rules of engagement between suppliers and distributors. These agreements can not only streamline your distribution process but also shield your business from potential pitfalls.
When it comes to distribution agreements, there are four main types: exclusive, sole, non-exclusive and selective. It is important for suppliers as well as distributors to recognizse the advantages and disadvantages of each arrangement in order to pick the one that best fits their needs and objectives.
A distribution agreement is a contract between a manufacturer and a distributor. The manufacturer grants the distributor the right to sell its products or services in a specified territory or market.
An exclusive distribution agreement is an agreement between a distributor company and a supplier company that grants the distributor exclusive rights to sell the suppliers goods. This means that the supplier agrees to now allow another distributor to sell its goods for the duration of the agreement.

If the arrangement is nonexclusive, the manufacturer or vendor may supply other distributors, sometimes competing in the same market.

It also includes terms on how the reseller will be compensated for their services, as well as delivery times and service level agreements.
