In a distribution agreement, the distributor enters into contracts in his own name and on his own account. This area is not regulated by special legislation but relies on common legislation, such as the Danish Act on Contracts and the Danish Act on the Purchase of Goods.  


In which way are distribution agreements regulated?

Distribution agreements are not subject to special legislation, although general provisions of Danish law, including competition law, apply. A distribution agreement is therefore entered into under the general principles of freedom of contract. Such agreement should usually include provisions on duration, termination, exclusivity, product specification and performance, price and price adjustment, territories, purchase volumes and stock, liability, customers etc.
