Document background
The Exclusive Supply Contract is a crucial document for businesses operating in Belgium that wish to establish dedicated supply channels with guaranteed product access and market presence. This agreement is particularly valuable when a buyer seeks to secure a reliable, exclusive source of products or when a supplier wants to establish a controlled distribution channel. The document must comply with Belgian civil and commercial law requirements, as well as EU competition regulations, particularly regarding vertical agreements and market restrictions. It typically includes detailed provisions on product specifications, pricing structures, minimum purchase commitments, and quality standards. The agreement is especially relevant in industries where product consistency, supply chain security, and long-term business relationships are essential for success. Given the binding nature of exclusivity arrangements under Belgian law, careful attention must be paid to termination provisions and competition law compliance.
