Question 1

What does this service comprise?

Accepted Answer

This service involves custom preparing a Distribution Agreement to your exact needs, covering the appointment of a distributor, territory rights, pricing, minimum purchase requirements, and termination provisions.

Question 2

What is a Distribution Agreement?

Accepted Answer

A Distribution Agreement is a contract between a supplier/manufacturer and a distributor that grants the distributor the right to purchase products and resell them within a specified territory. Unlike an agent, a distributor buys products at wholesale prices and sells them at a markup, bearing the commercial risk of resale.

Question 3

How does this differ from an Agency Agreement?

Accepted Answer

A distributor purchases goods from the supplier and resells them at their own risk and profit margin. An agent, by contrast, facilitates sales on behalf of the principal and earns commission. We also offer [Agency Agreements](/southafrica/southafrica-custom-agency-agreement) if that better suits your business model.

Question 4

How long does delivery take?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is 3 business days from when we receive your completed questionnaire. If you need your Distribution Agreement sooner, we offer an Express Delivery option which guarantees delivery within 1 business day. You can select Express Delivery as an add-on during checkout.

Question 5

What if I need changes to my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your order includes 2 rounds of revisions at no additional cost, which must be requested within 1 week of receiving your draft. This ensures you have ample opportunity to review the document and request any adjustments. Additional revision rounds beyond this can be arranged at a nominal fee.

Question 6

Who will draft my Distribution Agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your Distribution Agreement will be prepared by a qualified South African attorney with a minimum of 12 years of post-qualification experience in commercial law. Our attorney has extensive experience drafting distribution arrangements across various industries.

Question 7

What information will I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

After purchase, you'll receive a detailed questionnaire asking about supplier and distributor details, the products being distributed, territory and exclusivity arrangements, pricing and payment terms, minimum purchase requirements, marketing obligations, and termination provisions.

Question 8

Will my agreement comply with South African law?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your Distribution Agreement will be drafted to comply with relevant South African legislation including the Consumer Protection Act and Competition Act where applicable. Our attorney ensures all clauses are legally enforceable under South African law.
