A Value Added Reseller Agreement sets out the terms between a supplier and a company that adds features or services to an existing product before reselling it. Under Irish commercial law, these agreements let resellers bundle products with their own services, like when an IT company adds custom software to hardware packages or provides specialized training.

The agreement covers key areas like pricing structures, territory rights, and intellectual property protection. It also outlines service level commitments and warranty terms that comply with Irish consumer protection laws. For resellers, this document provides legal clarity on their right to modify and market the original product while protecting both parties' business interests.

Use a Value Added Reseller Agreement when you plan to enhance and resell another company's products in Ireland. This is especially important for tech companies adding custom software to hardware, consultancies bundling services with existing solutions, or distributors who modify products before selling them to end customers.

The timing is crucial - put this agreement in place before you start modifying or marketing the original product. Irish law requires clear documentation of intellectual property rights and liability arrangements between suppliers and resellers. Having this agreement ready helps avoid disputes about profit sharing, territory rights, and service obligations while keeping you compliant with local consumer protection standards.

A Value Added Reseller Agreement differs significantly from a Distributor Agreement in several key aspects under Irish law. While both involve selling products, their scope and obligations vary considerably.

• Product Modification Rights: Value Added Resellers have explicit permission to modify or enhance products before resale, while distributors typically sell items as-is.
• Service Requirements: VARs must provide additional services or customizations, whereas distributors mainly handle logistics and sales.
• Intellectual Property: VAR agreements include detailed provisions for modifying and rebranding products, while distributor agreements focus on maintaining original branding.
• Pricing Structure: VARs often have more flexibility in pricing due to added value services, while distributors usually work within strict manufacturer pricing guidelines.
• Technical Expertise: VAR agreements require proof of technical capability to modify products, which isn't typically needed in distribution agreements.
