A Reseller Agreement is a formal contract between a vendor and a reseller that defines the terms and conditions for the reseller’s authorization to sell the vendor’s products or services.  

This typically includes: 

  • Defining the scope of the relationship 
  • Setting pricing, payment terms, and resale conditions 
  • Detailing responsibilities of both parties 

In practice, businesses use reseller agreements to expand their market reach, ensure consistent branding, and maintain control over product distribution. This fosters stronger partnerships, better market coverage, and streamlined operational processes. 

Reseller agreements are crucial because they protect the interests of both vendors and resellers, outline clear guidelines to avoid disputes, and contribute to a more organized and scalable sales strategy. These agreements also help ensure products or services are represented accurately in the market, reinforcing the credibility and reputation of the vendor’s brand.
