Document background
The Master Dealer Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for establishing and managing dealer relationships in the Australian market. This document is essential when a manufacturer or supplier wishes to appoint dealers to distribute their products within specified territories in Australia. It comprehensively addresses all aspects of the dealer relationship, including appointment terms, territorial rights, performance expectations, operational requirements, and compliance with Australian regulatory requirements. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions for product supply, pricing, marketing, warranty obligations, and termination rights, while ensuring compliance with Australian competition law, consumer protection legislation, and relevant industry regulations. The Master Dealer Agreement is particularly crucial for businesses establishing or maintaining distribution networks in Australia, as it provides the necessary structure for consistent dealer management while accommodating specific Australian market conditions and legal requirements.
