Document background
The Direct Sales Agreement is essential for businesses engaged in direct selling of products in South Africa. It is particularly relevant when a company wants to establish a formal relationship for recurring sales transactions without intermediary involvement. The agreement must comply with South African legislation, including the Consumer Protection Act, Value Added Tax Act, and where applicable, the National Credit Act. This document typically includes detailed terms on ordering processes, product specifications, pricing, delivery, warranties, and return policies. It's commonly used in both B2B and B2C contexts, though the terms may vary significantly depending on the buyer's status as a business or consumer. The agreement should be customized based on the specific products being sold, industry requirements, and the parties' commercial arrangements while maintaining compliance with South African legal requirements.
