About this template

What is this template?

This is an exclusive distribution agreement between a producer and a wholesaler. It contains a minimum sales volume requirement expressed in Rupees and a specific non-compete restriction on the dealer. It is not a retail agency agreement as it focuses on supply to retailers via a single dealer.

When should you use it?

Use this document when a manufacturer wants to appoint one person to handle their entire production output for five years. Use a Sale and Distribution Agreement if the arrangement is non-exclusive or lacks a minimum sales guarantee.

What's inside

ClauseNameWhat it does
1Supply and SaleThe Manufacturer must supply its entire subsisting stock and future goods to the Dealer for sale without exception.
2Commission and PricingThe Dealer receives a commission of a specified percentage on listed prices for goods sold to retailers.
3Return of Unsold StockThe Dealer must return any goods that remain unsold for more than a specified number of months after delivery.
4Minimum Sale GuaranteeThe Dealer guarantees a minimum annual sale value in Rupees, with termination rights if sales fall short by 25%.
5 & 6Exclusivity and Non-CompeteThe Manufacturer is prohibited from appointing other dealers, while the Dealer cannot sell identical products from other manufacturers.
7ArbitrationAll disputes are referred to a named sole arbitrator whose final award is binding on both parties.

Who it's for

  • a manufacturer seeking an exclusive wholesale distribution channel in India

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.

Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
