The international distribution agreement is a framework agreement, i.e. it defines general obligations for each of the parties over an extended period of time and is supplemented by general terms of sale, often attached to the contract, to indicate the products and/or services concerned, prices, delivery terms, etc. The agreement gives the distributor an advantage to ensure that there are no competitors in the indicated market. The supplier will often use this type of agreement as an argument in favour of an agreement. MILPITAS, Calif. and TOKYO, August 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Nanosys Inc., and NAGASE – CO., LTD. announced the start of a global distribution agreement. As part of the agreement, NAGASE has the exclusive right to market Nanosys Quantum Dot materials for various applications worldwide. Some international distribution agreements contain exclusivity clauses. While not all of these agreements are exclusive, this is an issue that should be addressed in the treaty negotiations. It is an agreement that ensures that only a distributor, for a specific region, market, product or other company, has exclusive rights to market that product in that market.

Of course, this list is only a short selection of important contractual terms that you will find in an international distribution agreement. These agreements should always be tailored to the individual needs of each party. Among other things, some of the key clauses you will usually find in an international distribution contract include products and territory, the obligations of the parties, exclusivity clauses, prorogation/rescission and dispute resolution.
