Distribution and reseller contracts across borders

Appoint a destination seller. Distributor takes title, agent solicits orders, referral is an introduction fee. This page does not incorporate a local company.

Appoint a distributor, reseller, agent, or referrer.

Startups entering Thailand often start non-exclusive. A net of appointments is a mid-market module.

Distribution Agreement

Appoints a distributor to sell goods in a territory. Thailand and Vietnam files often start here after an NDA.

Reseller Agreement

Reseller buys and resells, usually software or branded goods, without a full distribution grant.

Agency Agreement

Agent solicits orders for a principal. Different economics from a distributor who takes title.

Commercial Representative Agreement

A named individual or small firm representing the brand locally without a full agency code.

Channel Partner Agreement

Umbrella partner status used in software and industrial channels.

Referral Agreement

Introduction fee only. No stock, no territory grant. Startups overuse exclusivity here.

Exclusive Distribution Agreement

Exclusive territory or product grant. Competition and foreign-business facts belong in the pack as questions, not opinions.

Non-exclusive Distribution Agreement

Non-exclusive grant. Often the right first appointment for a startup entering Thailand.

Brand Use Agreement

Permission to use marks in local marketing. Link IP licence when the grant is broader than a channel appointment.

Questions

Exclusive or non-exclusive first?

Startups entering Thailand often start non-exclusive. Exclusive grants need territory, product, and foreign-business facts written as questions.

Referral versus agency versus distribution?

Referral pays an introduction fee — no stock, no territory. Agency solicits orders and does not take title. Distributor takes title.

Is a distribution agreement a market-entry hub?

No. This page appoints a seller. It does not incorporate a local company.
