BaghdadiLaw’s experience in product distribution contract in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to product distribution contracts, with practical knowledge of allocating stock, delivery, sales and returns risks between supplier and distributor. A UAE distribution arrangement must say who buys the stock, controls sales channels and bears unsold inventory. Review also checks whether the actual arrangement raises agency-status questions, so resale terms and market permissions are not confused.
A UAE distributor usually buys and resells goods, but the actual arrangement and registration must be checked before excluding the commercial-agency regime. Product approval, import responsibilities and the permitted sales territory are distinct from a private promise of exclusivity. Review purchase orders, resale terms, stock obligations and territory restrictions together. Separate unsold inventory from unpaid invoices and alleged exclusivity breaches when preparing a settlement position.
We agree the work your matter needs: Clarify channels and compliance responsibilities before launch. Where exit stock is the main risk, negotiate repurchase or a limited sell-off arrangement; where registration changes the relationship's legal character, resolve that question before fixing termination terms. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A distribution-risk schedule and proposed clauses allocating channels, compliance responsibilities and the treatment of unsold stock at exit.

Before requesting advice on product distribution contract in the UAE
Who deals with unsold stock when distribution ends?+
Examine buy-back, returns, expiry, minimum purchases and continued brand-use clauses. Prepare a stock and payment reconciliation. A practical exit arrangement should identify ownership, collection, costs and treatment of outstanding customer orders.
Does a distribution right include permission to import every product?+
A private agreement does not replace the applicable product and import permissions. Allocate compliance tasks and confirm the actual product category and authority.
How should unsold stock be handled on exit?+
Define return eligibility, valuation, condition and sell-off rights. Do not assume the supplier must repurchase everything or that the distributor may sell indefinitely under the brand.
