Document background
The Master Distributor Agreement is essential for companies looking to establish structured distribution channels in specific territories. This agreement, governed by Dutch law and EU regulations, creates a framework for the commercial relationship between suppliers and their primary distributors. It is particularly vital when a supplier wants to maintain control over their distribution network while delegating direct market responsibilities to a capable partner. The document covers crucial elements including territorial rights, performance expectations, compliance requirements, and operational procedures. It's designed to comply with Dutch commercial law and EU competition regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and cross-border distribution arrangements. The agreement typically includes comprehensive provisions for product supply, pricing structures, intellectual property protection, and termination mechanisms, providing a robust foundation for long-term distribution partnerships.
