Reseller Agreement

About this document

What it’s for

An agreement under which a reseller buys your goods (or resells your services) and sells them on to its own customers, in its own name and at its own prices. It covers appointment and territory, ordering, delivery and title, payment, targets, brand use, product quality and recalls, liability, and what happens to stock when the agreement ends. It is not designed for software licensing or for commission-only sales agents.

When to use it

  • Appointing a stockist, dealer, distributor or retailer for your products
  • Allowing a partner to resell your services under your brand
  • Formalising an existing trade relationship

How to complete it

  • Complete the parties, Schedule 1 (products, territory) and Schedule 2 (prices and payment)
  • Choose exclusive or non-exclusive appointment and whether targets apply
  • Set the liability cap and notice periods
  • Both parties sign; keep a copy with your trade account records

Key points to check

  • Never fix or set a minimum resale price – resale price maintenance breaks competition law
  • A commission-only sales agent needs a commercial agency agreement instead
