About Vendor, Supply & Distribution Agreements
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Supply and vendor agreements fix price, quality standards, delivery, risk transfer, payment terms and remedies for defects; distribution and reseller agreements add territory, exclusivity, targets and brand use. When buying from micro or small enterprises, payment terms beyond 45 days breach the MSMED Act and make the expense non-deductible until paid under Section 43B(h).
Distribution relationships end badly when exclusivity, minimum targets and termination aren't clear, or when the agreement unintentionally creates an agency. We also check competition-law limits on resale price restrictions.
For buyers, we build MSME payment compliance into the contract; for suppliers, we secure payment with clear invoicing, interest and credit terms.
| MSME payments | Within 45 days if agreed (15 days if not) |
|---|---|
| Tax effect | Unpaid MSE dues beyond limit disallowed under Section 43B(h) |
| Distribution | Territory, exclusivity, targets, termination |
| Competition law | Avoid resale price maintenance |
