Supply, Vendor & Distribution Agreement

પુરવઠા કરાર

Recurring supply on agreed terms — where the credit and quality clauses decide whether the relationship survives its first problem.

e-StampNotary

The commercial spine

  • Products and specification, and how a change is agreed.
  • Pricing — fixed, indexed, or reviewable, and who bears input-cost movement.
  • Ordering and delivery — lead times, place of delivery, and when risk and title pass. These are two different moments and both need stating.
  • Quality, inspection and rejection — the standard, who tests, how long the buyer has to reject, and what happens to rejected goods.
  • Credit terms — the period, interest on delay, and security. Most supply disputes are payment disputes.
  • Minimum commitments, if any, and the consequence of missing them.
  • Term, renewal and termination — including what happens to orders already placed.
  • Warranty and liability, and any cap.
Distributor or agent?

A distributor buys and resells on his own account; an agent sells on the principal's behalf for commission. The difference decides who carries credit risk, who owns the stock, who sets the resale price and who is liable to the end customer. Documents that mix the two produce arguments about all four.

Where goods are sent for processing rather than sale, the right instrument is a job work agreement, which allocates ownership and risk differently.

On stamp duty.

We do not publish duty figures on this website. The Gujarat Stamp Act, 1958 was amended in 2025 and several articles were restructured; a rate printed on a web page goes stale and costs somebody money. As a Government authorised e-Stamping centre we confirm the duty currently prescribed for your specific document and issue the e-stamp against it, at face value. The notarial fee is separate and capped by law — ₹35 to attest execution, ₹35 to administer an oath or take an affidavit, under Rule 10(1) of the Notaries Rules, 1956. The full fee table →

Drafted here, in Gujarati or English

Drafted by an advocate of 35+ years rather than filled into a downloaded template, e-stamped at a Government authorised centre, and notarised in the same visit. If the parties read Gujarati, the document is drafted in Gujarati — not translated out of an English form, because legal Gujarati has its own settled vocabulary and a literal translation frequently means something looser.

What to bring

  • Product list and specification
  • Agreed pricing and credit terms
  • Territory and any exclusivity
  • Constitution and GST details for both parties
  • Any existing purchase orders or course of dealing

Common questions

What is the difference between a distributor and an agent?

A distributor buys the goods and resells them on his own account, carrying stock and credit risk. An agent sells on the principal's behalf for a commission, and the principal contracts with the end customer. The choice decides who bears risk and who is liable to the buyer, so the document must be consistent about which it is.

Can I charge interest on overdue payments?

Yes, if the agreement provides for it. Include the rate and the point from which it runs. Where the supplier is a registered micro or small enterprise, separate statutory provisions on delayed payment may also apply — worth raising if that is your position.

How much notice to terminate?

Whatever the agreement says. Where it is silent, the position is uncertain and usually argued. Long-standing distributors in particular expect reasonable notice, so state a period rather than leaving it open.
