Document background
This Limited Risk Distribution Agreement is designed for use in the Swiss market where companies seek to establish distribution relationships with clearly defined risk parameters and operational controls. It is particularly relevant when a principal wishes to maintain significant control over distribution operations while providing the distributor with limited risk exposure and defined compensation structures. The agreement addresses key aspects required under Swiss law, including competition law compliance, territorial restrictions, and risk allocation mechanisms. It is commonly used in international trade scenarios where the principal wants to expand into new markets while maintaining control over pricing, branding, and market approach. The document includes comprehensive provisions for operational procedures, compliance requirements, and risk management structures, making it suitable for both domestic Swiss operations and cross-border distribution arrangements.
