The difference between an affiliate and a dealer
The difference between a dealer and an affiliate is that on the one hand, the dealer takes money to purchase goods from the enterprise, on the other hand, it sells them. For them, it's just reselling, and they are concerned about the price difference, not the actual price. Agents refer to enterprises and non-governmental organizations entrusted by enterprises to help enterprises find markets and even help enterprises sell products. Its obvious feature is that it does not own the ownership of the product, but only charges the corresponding commission.

The difference between distributor and consignment account will lead to different consequences. The consequences of consignment shall be borne by the supplier, and the consequences of distribution shall be borne by the distributor. Different in nature, the relationship between dealers and suppliers is a buying-selling relationship under the distribution model. Under the consignment mode, the relationship between dealers and suppliers is entrusted.

Distribution only refers to the sale of goods, but the scope and authority of consignment can be very wide, so the scope of consignment should be clearly stipulated in the consignment contract. The infringed dealer may be convicted of selling or counterfeiting registered trademark goods. The crime of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks refers to the act of selling goods that are knowingly counterfeit registered trademarks in violation of trademark management laws and regulations, and the sales amount is relatively large.

Pay attention to details.

Pay attention to the details when signing a distribution contract, and check whether the distributor exists legally and has independent legal personality. If the other party is an affiliated unit without independent legal personality, or the property right of the unit is unclear, or a false unit that does not exist at all. It is best not to cooperate with it, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.

When signing the contract, the name of the distributor company must be consistent with the name on the business license and stamped with the official seal. Abbreviations or codes that are not recognized by law are not allowed. The official seal or special seal for contract cannot be represented by private seal or signature. The authorization period and area should be strictly limited, and the rights and obligations of dealers should be clearly defined.
