The Wholesale Distribution Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used when a manufacturer or supplier wishes to establish a formal distribution relationship in Canada. This agreement is essential for businesses looking to expand their market reach through authorized distributors while maintaining control over their product distribution chain. It addresses key aspects required under Canadian federal and provincial laws, including competition regulations, sales tax requirements, and consumer protection standards. The document typically includes detailed provisions for territory rights, minimum purchase requirements, performance standards, and compliance obligations.
