Reseller Distribution Agreement

A Reseller or Distribution Agreement governs how products are marketed and sold through intermediaries, defining territories, pricing, and performance expectations. This playbook explains negotiation levers around exclusivity, revenue targets, and brand protection.

Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Unclear payment terms can cause cash flow problems and disputes. Clear terms protect both parties from delays and unexpected costs.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Manufraturer:

Ensure payment terms align with internal cash flow requirements. Negotiate for net 30 terms with interest on late payments to maintain liquidity.

If you're the Distributor:

Propose flexible payment terms that accommodate the supplier's cash flow needs. Include interest on late payments to deter delays.
