Document background
The White Label Product Agreement is essential for businesses in South Africa engaging in white labeling arrangements, where one company manufactures or supplies products that another company sells under its own brand. This document is particularly important in the South African context, where consumer protection laws and quality standards must be strictly adhered to. The agreement typically comes into play when companies want to expand their product portfolio without investing in manufacturing capabilities, or when manufacturers seek to increase production volume through white label partnerships. It addresses critical aspects such as product specifications, quality control, branding rights, pricing structures, and compliance with local regulations including the Consumer Protection Act and competition laws. The document serves as a comprehensive framework for managing the relationship between the manufacturer/supplier and the reseller/distributor, ensuring clear delineation of responsibilities and risk allocation.
