Document background
The Marketing And Distribution Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used when a supplier or manufacturer wishes to engage a distributor to market and sell their products in Malaysia or specified territories. This agreement is essential for businesses expanding their market presence through distribution networks, particularly under Malaysian jurisdiction which combines common law principles with specific local regulations. The document comprehensively covers all aspects of the distribution relationship, including appointment terms, territorial rights, marketing requirements, performance standards, and compliance obligations. It's particularly important in the Malaysian context where business relationships often require careful consideration of local commercial practices, regulatory requirements, and market conditions. The agreement should comply with relevant Malaysian legislation including the Contracts Act 1950, Competition Act 2010, and Consumer Protection Act 1999, while addressing specific industry requirements and standards.
