Exclusive Distribution Agreement
Supplier: [Company Name] · Distributor: [Company Name] · Date: [Date]
1. Exclusive Appointment
Supplier appoints Distributor as the EXCLUSIVE distributor of [Products] within [Territory]. During the term, Supplier will not appoint any other distributor, nor sell directly to customers, within the Territory, except: [Any carve-outs, e.g. existing accounts].
2. Minimum Purchase Requirements
To maintain exclusivity, Distributor must purchase at least [Amount/units] per [Period]. Failure to meet this minimum gives Supplier the right to convert this Agreement to non-exclusive or terminate.
3. Pricing
Distributor will purchase Products at [Wholesale price/discount schedule].
4. Distributor's Obligations
Distributor will actively market and promote the Products, maintain adequate inventory, and provide reasonable after-sales support within the Territory.
5. Trademark Use
Distributor may use Supplier's trademarks solely to market the Products, per Supplier's brand guidelines, and such use confers no ownership rights.
6. Term and Termination
This Agreement runs for [Term] and may be terminated by either party for material breach not cured within [Cure Period], or by Supplier if minimum purchase requirements are not met.
Supplier: ______________________ Date: ____________ Distributor: ______________________ Date: ____________
*Tying exclusivity to a real minimum purchase commitment (Section 2) protects the supplier from granting away an entire territory to a distributor who then under-invests in it — exclusivity without a performance requirement is a common and costly mistake for suppliers.*
