White Label Agreement Generator for Germany

This White Label Agreement template is designed for use under German law when one business entity wishes to provide its products or services to another business entity for rebranding and resale. The document is particularly relevant in scenarios where companies want to expand their product portfolio without developing new products internally, or when providers want to extend their market reach through established brands. It incorporates specific requirements of German civil law (BGB), commercial law (HGB), and data protection regulations (GDPR/BDSG), while addressing critical business aspects such as intellectual property rights, quality control, service levels, and liability limitations. The agreement is structured to protect both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with German and EU regulatory requirements, making it suitable for both domestic German transactions and cross-border arrangements where German law is chosen as the governing law.
