White Label Product Agreement

Branding plays an important role in the resale of goods. A recognisable brand goes a long way toward building up consumer trust in a business and establishes consistency in a product range. It is often desirable to establish an “own brand”, particularly when seeking to establish an online presence or a chain of retail stores.

It is not always viable or desirable to manufacture your own products, particularly when seeking to provide a broad range of products. In many cases, this never presents a problem. Retailers simply sell products manufactured and branded by other companies. In certain cases, however, white labelling may be an option.

This White Label Product Agreement provides for such a situation. A contract between a manufacturer and a reseller, this document governs the production of a product by the manufacturer and the application of the reseller’s branding thereto.

Detailed provisions in this agreement govern the specification of the product and its manufacture, the production of packaging and documentation, the provision of product warranties, repair services and customer support, particulars relating to orders and pricing, and intellectual property both in terms of designs, patents etc. applying to the product and of trade marks, copyright etc. applying to the reseller’s branding.

A number of schedules to the agreement allow users considerable flexibility and freedom to define the substantive elements of the contract such as the product specification, packaging designs, manufacturing processes, customer support systems, orders, pricing and product warranties.
