Document background
The Software Reseller Agreement is essential for businesses engaged in software distribution within South Africa's growing technology market. This agreement is typically used when a software company wishes to expand its market reach through authorized resellers, establishing a formal distribution channel while maintaining control over how their software is sold and marketed. The document addresses key aspects required under South African law, including compliance with the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, POPIA, and relevant consumer protection legislation. It's particularly important for international software companies entering the South African market, as it must account for local regulatory requirements while protecting intellectual property rights and establishing clear operational guidelines.
