Model of contract for distribution (with or without exclusivity), where one party (the “Supplier”) grants to the other party (the “Distributor”) the right to promote and commercialize products under its own name and on its own account with the intention of re-selling to the end client or retailers located in a stated territory.
The model serves for the international distribution of different types of products (food and beverages, consumer goods, capital goods, industrial supplies, machinery, etc). It is equally adaptable to different types of distribution, i.e. mass, selective and exclusive.
In most relevant aspects of the contract (products and territory, exclusivity, non-competition, prices, delivery and payment conditions, promotional activities, services etc.), a number of alternatives have been suggested in order that the most appropriate version may be chosen for the purposes of whoever writes up the contract (Supplier or Distributor).
The model includes references to the rules and regulations of the EU and competition rights which affect distribution contracts undertaken in the member countries.
