Document background
The Dealer Sales Agreement serves as the foundational document governing the relationship between suppliers/manufacturers and their authorized dealers in South Africa. This agreement is essential when establishing a distribution network where products will be sold through independent dealers rather than direct sales channels. The document incorporates crucial elements required under South African law, including compliance with the Consumer Protection Act, Competition Act, and other relevant legislation. A well-structured Dealer Sales Agreement addresses key aspects such as territorial rights, performance standards, pricing mechanisms, warranty obligations, and after-sales service requirements. It provides clear guidelines for both parties while ensuring regulatory compliance and protecting both parties' commercial interests in the South African market context.
