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.

Warranties and Representations

Why This Matters: Uncontrolled warranties can lead to unlimited repair or replacement obligations. Well-defined warranties provide assurance while capping potential losses.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Manufraturer:

Ensure the warranty clause aligns with your business goals by specifying the duration and scope. Limit liability by capping potential losses and including clear remedies for breaches.

If you're the Distributor:

Propose a warranty period that aligns with industry standards. Offer options for repair, replacement, or refund to manage potential liabilities effectively.

Real-world examples

Alternative scenarios & positions

Extended Warranty Periods

Evaluate scenarios where the warranty period exceeds industry norms, potentially increasing liability and cost. Consider negotiating a shorter period or additional compensation.

High-Risk Products

For high-risk products, ensure warranties are comprehensive and include specific performance standards to mitigate potential issues.

International Sales

In international sales, consider local laws and regulations that may affect warranty terms and ensure compliance.
