Efficient Networks Reseller Agreement between Efficient Networks, Inc. and Cabletron Systems, Inc., Fire Acquisition Corporation and Flowpoint Corporation, Inc. regarding appointment of non-exclusive reseller of products dated November 21, 1999. 23 Title: Understanding Alaska Reseller Agreements for Appointment of Nonexclusive Resellers Introduction: An Alaska Reseller Agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions between a product manufacturer or distributor (referred to as the "Principal") and a nonexclusive reseller based in Alaska. This agreement grants the reseller the right to market, promote, and sell the Principal's products within a specific geographical area. While there may be various types of Alaska Reseller Agreements, the two primary categories recognized are the General Reseller Agreement and the Exclusive Reseller Agreement. 1. General Reseller Agreement: The General Reseller Agreement is the most common type of contract in which a nonexclusive reseller is appointed. Key features include: a) Nonexclusivity: The reseller is not granted exclusive rights to sell the Principal's products. The Principal reserves the right to appoint other resellers in the same area. b) Product Distribution: The agreement outlines the specific products the reseller is authorized to sell or distribute. c) Geographic Limitations: The contract may define the geographical area in which the reseller can operate and sell the products. d) Pricing and Profit Margins: The agreement may specify the pricing structure and profit margins for the reseller, along with any allowable discounts or rebates. e) Marketing and Promotion: The contractual terms will cover marketing responsibilities, including advertising, branding, and promotional activities. f) Payment and Invoicing: The agreement defines the payment terms, invoicing procedures, and any penalties for late or non-payment. 2. Exclusive Reseller Agreement: The Exclusive Reseller Agreement grants the appointed reseller exclusive rights to sell the Principal's products within a specified territory or market segment. These agreements typically include the features mentioned above, with the following additional elements: a) Exclusivity Clause: The contract expressly states that no other resellers will be appointed within the designated territory or market segment. b) Sales Targets and Performance Metrics: The agreement may outline specific sales targets or performance metrics that the exclusive reseller must meet to maintain exclusivity. c) Warranty and Support: The Principal may provide exclusive resellers with additional support, training, or warranty services to enhance their performance. d) Termination Clause: The agreement may include conditions under which either party can terminate the exclusivity arrangement, such as non-compliance with sales targets or breach of contract. Conclusion: Alaska Reseller Agreements for nonexclusive resellers provide a framework for businesses to legally appoint resellers for their products within Alaska. While the General Reseller Agreement encompasses most arrangements, the Exclusive Reseller Agreement provides the appointed reseller with exclusive rights within a specified territory or market segment. Carefully reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions of these agreements is essential for both the Principal and the reseller to establish a successful and mutually beneficial business relationship.
