Document background
The Standard Distributor Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used to establish and regulate the relationship between suppliers and distributors in Belgium. This agreement type is particularly important in the Belgian context due to the specific statutory protections offered to distributors under Belgian law, which are more extensive than in many other jurisdictions. The document is designed to address all key aspects of the distribution relationship, including appointment, territory, obligations, pricing, and termination provisions. It incorporates mandatory requirements under Belgian law, such as specific notice periods and potential goodwill compensation upon termination, while also ensuring compliance with EU competition law and other relevant regulations. The Standard Distributor Agreement is essential for businesses looking to establish a structured distribution network in Belgium while maintaining legal compliance and protecting their commercial interests.
