The Master Reseller Agreement is a fundamental commercial contract used when a supplier wishes to establish a structured distribution channel through an intermediary who will have the right to resell products/services and potentially appoint sub-resellers. This agreement is particularly important in the Indian market where multi-tiered distribution networks are common across various industries. The document needs to comply with Indian contract law, competition law, and sector-specific regulations while addressing crucial aspects such as territorial rights, pricing mechanisms, minimum purchase commitments, and quality standards. It's typically used when companies want to expand their market reach without direct investment in sales infrastructure, leveraging the reseller's existing network and capabilities. The agreement includes detailed provisions for intellectual property protection, performance metrics, and dispute resolution mechanisms tailored to the Indian legal context.
