The Distributorship Contract is a crucial commercial agreement used when a supplier or manufacturer wishes to establish a formal distribution relationship in Malta or using Maltese law. This document is essential for businesses looking to expand their market presence through local distributors while maintaining control over their product distribution. The agreement needs to comply with both Maltese commercial law and EU regulations, particularly regarding competition law and vertical agreements. It typically includes detailed provisions on territorial rights, exclusivity (if applicable), minimum purchase requirements, marketing obligations, and quality control standards. This type of contract is particularly important for international companies entering the Maltese market or Maltese companies establishing distribution networks, as it provides a clear legal framework for the distribution relationship while ensuring compliance with relevant local and EU legal requirements.
