Agreement Granting Exclusive License to Sell a Line of Apparel
What this document covers
This Agreement Granting Exclusive License to Sell a Line of Apparel is a legal document that allows the owner of a brand (the Licensor) to grant exclusive rights to another party (the Licensee) for the sale of a specific line of apparel. Unlike an outright transfer of ownership, this license permits the Licensee to use the brand name for a defined period while ensuring the rights revert to the Licensor afterward. This form is especially advantageous for those looking to distribute apparel under a recognized brand while clearly outlining both parties' rights and duties.
