Document background
The Simple Distribution Agreement is designed for businesses operating under Austrian law who need to establish a clear framework for product distribution arrangements. This document is particularly useful when a supplier wishes to appoint a distributor to sell their products in a specific territory, whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis. The agreement covers essential commercial terms including appointment, territory definition, ordering procedures, pricing, and intellectual property rights, while ensuring compliance with Austrian commercial regulations and EU competition law. It's suitable for both domestic and international distribution arrangements, though international use may require additional provisions for cross-border trade. The document is structured to be comprehensive yet straightforward, making it ideal for standard distribution relationships where complex franchise or agency arrangements are not required.
