The distribution of goods may be executed in various ways. Firstly, the typical\u00a0direct distribution<\/strong>\u00a0form is conceivable in that the goods are distributed through the own marketing division. Secondly, distribution may be carried out through\u00a0indirect distribution systems<\/strong>, i.e. an independently operating third party, for example\u00a0Commercial Agents, Authorized Dealers, Commission Agents<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Franchisors<\/strong>.


<\/p>

Commercial Agent System<\/h2>

The Commercial Agent<\/strong>\u00a0arranges business between the company he represents and the customers, and receives\u00a0commission<\/strong>\u00a0accordingly. The advantage of the Commercial Agent System is that commission is paid\u00a0on a performance basis<\/strong>, i.e. after secured success, as well as the Commercial Agent being obligated to provide a\u00a0report to the Principals<\/strong>. It should be recognized that Agency Law has been harmonized Europe wide, and that calculation of sales agent compensation is varied in European Member States. The national differences are significant when setting up a Europe wide Commercial Agent System.


<\/p>

Authorized Dealer System<\/h2>

The Authorized Dealer<\/strong>\u00a0purchases and sales goods in its\u00a0own name and on its own account<\/strong>. In this way, an Authorized Dealer is integrated into the distribution organization of the manufacturer, who based on a contract with the manufacturer regularly takes over goods for distribution in the Agents contract territory. In commerce the manufactures trademark is issued alongside that of the own company. The mutual contractual obligations are generally summarized within a\u00a0Framework Agreement<\/strong>: Individual sales transactions are, by contrast, regulated in separate individual contracts.


<\/p>

Commission System<\/h2>

The Commission Agent<\/strong>\u00a0sales in its\u00a0own name<\/strong>, but issues invoices on behalf of the supplier. Generally, the Commission Agent has a warehouse, which is the property of the Principal, from which the goods may be withdrawn and sold. If the Commission Agent is consistently entrusted to conclude such acquisitions in its own name for a particular Contracting Partner, the Commission Agent acts as a so called\u00a0Dealer<\/strong>. The Commission Agent remains in a continuing obligation position, which constrains it to act in the interest and on the account of its Principal.


<\/p>

Franchise System<\/h2>

The Franchiser<\/strong>\u00a0sales goods in its\u00a0own name and on its own account<\/strong>\u00a0to end-users. For a\u00a0fee<\/strong>, the Franchiser is provided protected\u00a0privileges<\/strong>\u00a0(e.g. trademarks, design patents, etc.) and the relevant\u00a0know-how<\/strong>. The Franchiser regularly does not act on behalf of its own company, but that of the respective franchise. As the Franchiser is particularly dependent upon the manufacturer, based on case law, the Franchiser is in special need of protection.

For the selection of the suitable distribution system, not only are the legal aspects and conditions of the market significant, but equally the\u00a0effectiveness of the distribution management<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0calculation of costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
