Distribution agreement: Sample template

A distribution agreement is used where one party agrees to resell another party’s products but does so as principal. That is, they purchase and take title to the products and assume all the risk of reselling the products.

Once your startup is ready to commercialize its product, you must determine how the product will reach your target customer. You can choose to sell directly or build distribution channels.
