Document background
The Simplified Distribution Contract is designed for businesses operating in Nigeria who need a straightforward, legally-compliant framework for their distribution arrangements. This template is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises, new market entrants, or companies seeking to formalize their distribution relationships without the complexity of a full-scale distribution agreement. It incorporates key requirements under Nigerian law, including provisions that comply with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 and relevant commercial regulations. The document can be used for both domestic and international distribution arrangements, though international users should consider additional requirements for cross-border trade. While simplified, it maintains all essential protections and commercial terms necessary for a robust distribution relationship.
