The Master Distributor Agreement is a critical commercial contract used when a supplier wishes to establish a primary distribution channel for their products in a specific territory. This agreement, governed by Danish law, creates a framework for the business relationship where the distributor typically has enhanced rights and responsibilities compared to standard distributors, often including the ability to appoint sub-distributors. The document addresses key commercial terms, compliance requirements under both Danish and EU law, territorial rights, performance expectations, and operational procedures. It's particularly important in establishing clear chains of responsibility, pricing structures, and market development strategies while ensuring compliance with Danish commercial law and EU competition regulations. The agreement is designed to protect both parties' interests while facilitating efficient product distribution and market growth.
