The Exclusive Distribution Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used when a supplier/manufacturer wishes to grant exclusive rights to a distributor to sell their products within a specified territory in or from Malta. This document is essential for businesses establishing exclusive distribution channels while ensuring compliance with both Maltese and EU law, particularly regarding competition regulations and vertical agreements. It typically includes comprehensive terms covering product supply, territorial restrictions, performance requirements, intellectual property rights, and termination provisions. The agreement is particularly relevant for international trade relationships involving Malta as a distribution hub, taking advantage of its strategic Mediterranean location and EU membership. It requires careful consideration of both local commercial laws and EU regulations, especially regarding territorial restrictions and competition law compliance.
