Distribution Agreement
Appoints a distributor to sell goods in a territory. Thailand and Vietnam files often start here after an NDA.
A distribution agreement is named before hours start — appoints a distributor to sell goods in a territory after an NDA. Parties, language, and governing-law preference sit as facts for local licensed review.
The Matter Pack for a distribution agreement records who signs, which language is the working draft, and which missing names would change the price. Orbid does not fill those gaps with legal advice.
Startups usually buy this distribution agreement as a first single matter. Mid-market teams that issue the same form many times in a quarter put it inside an annual counsel module.
Default for a distribution agreement is one scoped price. A retainer only makes sense when review volume is recurring. If the project changes, a change order states the new price.
Reseller Agreement
Reseller buys and resells, usually software or branded goods, without a full distribution grant.
Cross-border, a reseller agreement is paper, not a vibe: the reseller buys and resells, usually software, without a full distribution grant. A destination professional prices review of that named instrument.
For this reseller agreement the pack lists counterparties, term, territory if any, and the files you already have. Unknowns stay gaps, not extra hours.
A startup sees one reseller agreement. A mid-market desk sees a template: same skeleton, many counterparties, still reviewed locally per pack.
One reseller agreement is a single matter unless you already run a cadence of the same form. Extra unnamed paper is not included.
Agency Agreement
Agent solicits orders for a principal. Different economics from a distributor who takes title.
If the file crosses a border, write the agency agreement into the pack first — an agent solicits orders for a principal and does not take title. Unknowns stay gaps.
A agency agreement pack asks which entity on the origin side contracts, which destination name appears, and whether a bilingual draft already exists.
If this is the first agency agreement on the corridor, default is a single matter. If it is the twelfth this quarter, that is a module conversation — Orbid coordinates, and licensed local counsel judges.
Do not stretch one agency agreement price over a second instrument. That is how surprise bills start. Split, or write a change order.
Commercial Representative Agreement
A named individual or small firm representing the brand locally without a full agency code.
Hours do not start on an unnamed commercial representative agreement — a named individual representing the brand without a full agency code. Local licensed review sees who signs and which language is the working draft.
What sits in the pack around a commercial representative agreement: asserted facts, planned entities, and the triggers that would reopen price. Orbid does not choose the clause.
Founders often over-buy a stack around a commercial representative agreement. Mid-market operators under-specify the program. The pack names the actual count.
A retainer that mentions a commercial representative agreement still uses a Matter Pack per issuance. Scoped packs, not unlimited advice.
Channel Partner Agreement
Umbrella partner status used in software and industrial channels.
On this corridor the channel partner agreement is the instrument to price — umbrella partner status in software and industrial channels. Orbid records that; it does not advise which form you should have chosen.
The channel partner agreement line in the pack is a scope, not a draft. Local licensed professionals review what you approved; they are not Orbid employees giving advice in our name.
Startups: one channel partner agreement, one price, approve before hours. Mid-market: the form lives in a retainer quota, each issuance still a pack.
If this channel partner agreement grows a neighbour — a DPA, a quality paper, a SHA — name the set or pay a second price.
Referral Agreement
Introduction fee only. No stock, no territory grant. Startups overuse exclusivity here.
Name the referral agreement while talks are still cheap — an introduction fee only — no stock, no territory grant. A listed destination still accepts the scope; a standing lawyer there is not promised.
Record the referral agreement with the commercial neighbours it actually has — not a dump of every PDF in the folder. Extra unnamed files are a change order.
The first referral agreement on a corridor is usually a startup single matter. A net of them is mid-market, and the default flips to an annual module.
Single-matter fits a bounded referral agreement. Weekly flow of the same form belongs on an annual counsel module.
Exclusive Distribution Agreement
Exclusive territory or product grant. Competition and foreign-business facts belong in the pack as questions, not opinions.
A exclusive distribution agreement belongs in the pack — exclusive territory or product grant, with foreign-business facts as questions. Thailand is live review; other corridors stay listed.
Gaps on a exclusive distribution agreement — missing signatory, missing language, missing term — stay written. They do not convert into silent hourly work.
Do not put a startup exclusive distribution agreement on a retainer because it feels safer. Retainer is for recurring review volume, not for nerves.
You approve the exclusive distribution agreement pack before hours. You approve again if the facts move. The price does not jump in silence.
Non-exclusive Distribution Agreement
Non-exclusive grant. Often the right first appointment for a startup entering Thailand.
Do not paste an origin non-exclusive distribution agreement across the border unmarked — often the right first appointment for a startup entering Thailand. The pack asks which language controls and which entity signs.
The pack treats the non-exclusive distribution agreement as one priced module unless you name a defined set. A pile of related attachments is not a defined set.
Mid-market counsel modules still scope each non-exclusive distribution agreement. Unlimited chat about the form is not the product.
Listed-corridor non-exclusive distribution agreement work is still scoped as a single matter or a module. Scope is accepted; a named lawyer standing by is not promised.
Brand Use Agreement
Permission to use marks in local marketing. Link IP licence when the grant is broader than a channel appointment.
The first priced Matter Pack is often this brand-use agreement, given that permission to use marks in local marketing, narrower than an IP licence. Local licensed professionals review; Orbid does not draft as counsel.
Who already signed a previous brand-use agreement, and who still has to, is a fact. Orbid records it. Enforceability is not an Orbid opinion.
If the startup does not yet have a destination entity, the brand-use agreement may still be scoped — as paper, not as incorporation.
A brand-use agreement change order is the exception path: new scope, new price, your yes. It is not a vibe adjustment on the old invoice.
