Six things worth checking in a distribution agreement

Exclusivity and the targets that keep it.

Exclusive territories often depend on minimum sales. Check what happens if you miss one — loss of exclusivity, or the whole contract.

Automatic renewal and the notice window.

Renewal terms are common in distribution. Note the date by which you must give notice if you want out.

Warranty: whose, and for how long.

Check whether you pass on the manufacturer's warranty or give your own, and how long it runs.

A non-compete on other brands.

Some agreements bar you from carrying competing products. Worth knowing how long that lasts after the contract ends.

Termination and leftover stock.

Look for whether the supplier buys back inventory, and at what price, when the relationship ends.

Pricing and online sales.

Check who sets resale prices and whether online or cross-border sales are allowed.

What distribution agreements in a public contract dataset contain

We counted clauses in the 32 distribution agreements among 510 public-company commercial contracts from the CUAD dataset (The Atticus Project, CC BY 4.0). These are larger-company deals, not a sample of every distribution agreement — use them as a reference point, not a rule.

Stands out

A stated warranty period: 19 of 32 (59.4%) — across all 510 contracts: 14.7%.
A renewal term: 22 of 32 (68.8%) — across all 510 contracts: 34.5%.
Exclusivity: 21 of 32 (65.6%) — across all 510 contracts: 35.3%.

Clause	In these 32	Across all 510
A cap on liability	21 (65.6%)	275 (53.9%)
Liability left uncapped for some breaches	7 (21.9%)	111 (21.8%)
A right to end the contract without cause	13 (40.6%)	183 (35.9%)
An assignment of IP ownership	3 (9.4%)	124 (24.3%)
A non-compete	13 (40.6%)	119 (23.3%)
An insurance requirement	10 (31.2%)	166 (32.5%)

In this set, distribution agreements stated a warranty period, a renewal term and exclusivity far more often than the average contract — the calendar and the territory are the core of the deal.

Small sample: with 32 contracts, one contract moves a percentage by about 3.1 points. A clause being rare here is not a reason to leave it out of yours.

Questions people ask

Is the distribution agreement review free?

Yes — your first analysis is free for good, one contract per account, no card. You get the risk score and every finding by name, with the two most important explained in full. The rest are listed but locked until you unlock the report for $9 or start a plan.

Is a distributor the same as a reseller or an agent?

Not usually. A distributor typically buys and resells; an agent sells on the supplier's behalf. The analysis reads whatever the document says, whichever label it uses.

Can it compare two versions of the agreement?

Yes, on Pro and up. Upload the new version against your earlier analysis and each earlier finding is marked as unchanged, reworded or no longer in the document. It uses one of your monthly analyses.

Is my distribution agreement private?

It is private to your account and is never used to train models. Uploaded files are deleted after 30 days. From 30 September 2026, your report stays in your account until you delete it.
