The MOU Distribution Agreement is commonly used in Australian business contexts when parties wish to document their preliminary understanding before entering into a full distribution arrangement. This document is particularly valuable when complex distribution relationships need to be established and parties require a structured framework for negotiations. It typically contains proposed commercial terms, territorial rights, and basic operational parameters while clearly maintaining its non-binding nature. The document serves as a roadmap for due diligence and further negotiations, incorporating relevant Australian legal considerations including competition law, consumer protection, and trade practices. Parties often use this type of MOU when the proposed distribution arrangement involves significant investment, requires regulatory approvals, or needs detailed due diligence before finalizing a binding agreement.
