Simplified Distribution Contract

"I need a Simplified Distribution Contract for my German electronics manufacturing company to appoint an exclusive distributor in Bavaria, with the agreement starting January 2025 and including minimum purchase requirements and after-sales service obligations."

Document background
The Simplified Distribution Contract is designed for use in the German market where companies need a straightforward but legally compliant framework for product distribution arrangements. This document is particularly suitable for businesses seeking to establish new distribution channels or formalize existing relationships without the complexity of a full-scale distribution agreement. It incorporates essential elements required under German commercial law (HGB) and relevant EU regulations while maintaining practical usability. The agreement is structured to cover key commercial terms, territorial rights, and operational procedures while remaining flexible enough to adapt to various product types and business models. This simplified version is most appropriate for small to medium-sized distribution arrangements where the relationship is relatively straightforward and doesn't require complex compliance or regulatory provisions.
