The Distributor Settlement Agreement is used when parties need to formally terminate an existing distribution relationship in Nigeria while ensuring a smooth transition and resolving any outstanding issues. This document becomes necessary when distribution arrangements need to end due to various reasons such as performance issues, strategic changes, or mutual agreement to part ways. It includes crucial elements such as financial settlements, asset transfers, customer transition arrangements, and mutual releases, all while ensuring compliance with Nigerian legal requirements including the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 and relevant commercial laws. The agreement is particularly important in the Nigerian business context where distribution relationships often involve significant investments and complex networks of sub-distributors and stakeholders.
