The Master Distributor Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for companies seeking to establish a structured distribution network in Malaysia and potentially surrounding regions. This agreement is particularly crucial when a supplier wishes to appoint a main distributor who may have rights to appoint sub-distributors, effectively creating a multi-tiered distribution network. The document comprehensively covers commercial terms, operational requirements, and compliance obligations while adhering to Malaysian legal requirements, including the Contracts Act 1950 and Competition Act 2010. It is especially relevant for businesses expanding their market presence through local distribution partners, requiring detailed provisions for territory rights, product handling, brand protection, and performance standards.
