Document background
The Agreement Between Manufacturer And Seller is a crucial commercial document used to formalize and govern the business relationship between manufacturing entities and their selling partners in South Africa. This agreement is essential when a manufacturer wants to establish a formal distribution channel for their products through third-party sellers, whether they are wholesalers, retailers, or specialized distributors. The document encompasses all critical aspects of the commercial relationship, including product specifications, pricing structures, ordering processes, quality control measures, and compliance with South African regulations such as the Consumer Protection Act and Competition Act. It's particularly important in the South African context where certain industry-specific regulations and local business practices must be considered. The agreement provides clear guidelines for both parties' responsibilities, risk allocation, and dispute resolution mechanisms, while ensuring compliance with local competition laws and fair trading practices.
