The Sole Distributor Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to establish exclusive distribution channels in specific territories under Dutch law. It is commonly used when a manufacturer or supplier wants to grant exclusive rights to a single distributor to sell their products in a defined geographical area, typically within the Netherlands or European Union. The agreement must carefully balance commercial interests with legal compliance, particularly regarding EU competition law and the Dutch Civil Code. It includes detailed provisions on exclusivity, territory definition, performance targets, and trademark usage rights. This document is crucial for businesses expanding their distribution network while maintaining control over their product distribution and brand reputation. The agreement requires particular attention to Dutch legal requirements and EU regulations, especially regarding territorial restrictions and competition law compliance.
