FAQ
Is this distribution agreement template really free?
Yes. Like every template in docstoc's library, this distribution agreement is free to use, with no account or signup needed to view, edit, or download it.
What does this distribution agreement cover?
This business template includes 1. Appointment, 2. Pricing and Orders, 3. Minimum Purchase Requirements, 4. Marketing. Fill in the [bracketed] placeholders, edit any clause online, then download a PDF — the docstoc.io footer stays on every export.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a general-purpose starting structure, not advice for your specific situation. Business agreements can hinge on details — state of formation, industry-specific regulation, how a dispute would actually play out — that a template can't account for. Have a business attorney review anything that involves real money or real risk before you rely on it.
Can I edit the wording?
Yes — edit directly on the page, adjust any section or clause, and re-fill the 14 placeholder fields to match your situation before downloading a PDF. It's a starting structure, not a rigid script.
