An agreement of license between a trademark owner and a manufacturer is an official document that states that the manufacturer of a product has the permission to manufacture the product by the company or the individual who has trademarked it.
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.
A vendor contract (otherwise known as a vendor agreement) is a business contract between two parties covering the exchange of goods or services in return for compensation. Vendor contracts establish the business relationship conditions and include details on each party's obligations under the contract.
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.
This is a manufacturing agreement, under which the manufacturer is obligated to produce and supply products that are specified by the customer. Typically, a detailed product specification will be provided, and this may be incorporated into the agreement or supplied as and when required by the customer.
The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality. In some states, elements of consideration can be satisfied by a valid substitute.
Contracts are made up of three basic parts – an offer, an acceptance and consideration. The offer and acceptance are what the purpose of the agreement is between the parties.
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.
