Document background
The Distributor Appointment Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used when a manufacturer or supplier wishes to appoint another entity to distribute their products within Malaysia or specified territories. This document is essential for businesses expanding their distribution networks while maintaining control over their product distribution chain. The agreement covers critical aspects such as exclusivity rights, territorial limitations, performance targets, and compliance with Malaysian regulations. It's particularly important in the Malaysian context where distribution relationships must comply with local competition laws, consumer protection regulations, and sector-specific requirements. The document typically includes detailed provisions for product ordering, pricing mechanisms, intellectual property protection, and termination rights, while ensuring alignment with Malaysian commercial law principles.
