The Exclusive Manufacturing And Distribution Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to establish controlled manufacturing and distribution channels in New Zealand and potentially international markets. This agreement is typically used when a company wants to maintain strict quality control over product manufacturing while ensuring effective distribution through an exclusive partner. It's particularly relevant when intellectual property protection, territorial exclusivity, and specific performance standards are crucial to the business relationship. The document addresses requirements under New Zealand law, including competition law considerations, fair trading principles, and consumer protection requirements. It's commonly used in situations where the manufacturer wants to maintain brand integrity while leveraging a distributor's established market presence and distribution capabilities.
