29. What are my obligations to a distributor?

Your obligations will be as set out in the agreement. Normally, you would be expected to use reasonable efforts to supply the distributor with your product (but not to continue making the product if you do not wish to).

The agreement should clearly set out the terms of trade, including who will be responsible for transport and insurance and where delivery will be made. The terms should include the point at which the distributor will assume ownership of the products.
