What is a Master Reseller Agreement?

The Master Reseller Agreement is a fundamental commercial contract used when a supplier wishes to expand their distribution network through authorized resellers in the Australian market. This agreement type is essential for businesses seeking to establish formal channel partnerships while maintaining control over their product distribution, brand representation, and market presence. The document comprehensively addresses all aspects of the supplier-reseller relationship, including appointment terms, territorial rights, ordering processes, pricing structures, intellectual property protection, and compliance with Australian regulatory requirements. It is particularly important in sectors where products require specialized knowledge for sales and support, or where maintaining consistent brand representation is crucial. The agreement ensures compliance with Australian competition law, consumer protection legislation, and relevant industry regulations while providing a framework for successful commercial collaboration.
