The distribution right as a framework for determining sales
In a world oriented towards sales and distribution, with internationally organized markets and global exchange of goods, the distribution law forms the legal framework for regulating the distribution of goods at the national and international level. The distribution law does not describe a “set of legal rules” of its own for the organisation of the sale of goods, but is rather to be understood as a overarching term for a wealth of regulations from the most varied areas of national and international law relating to the marketing of goods and services. For example, elements and case law from the areas of distribution law, commercial law, European law, antitrust law or labour law play a role in distribution law. Not to be forgotten when considering distribution law are also aspects of international regulations on the organisation of global trade as well as tax law aspects at home and abroad.
In simple terms, distribution law regulates the legal relationship and the employment relationship between companies and their distributors/intermediaries. Exemplary constellations would be contractual relationships and cooperation between insurance companies and insurance agents or suppliers and their authorised dealers. As a rule, the distribution right does not include the legal relationship with the end customer.
