Whether you own software as the copyright owner or have distribution rights that you can delegate to others, you may want to increase sales by entering into an international software distribution agreement with one or more distributors in other countries.
What to include in your international software distribution agreement
Here are 10 important issues your distribution contract should cover in order to protect you while making the deal beneficial to your foreign distributor(s) too.
1. Software Localization. Will your software need to be localized? For example, will the software need to be translated into another language for local users to understand and use it? If so, who is responsible for the localization? You or the distributor? Who owns the intellectual property rights to the localized software?
2. Geographic Scope of License. What country or countries will your distributor have the right to sell the software? Is the license exclusive for that region or can there be other distributors for that reach with whom you enter into distribution agreements? Will online distribution of software be permitted? If so, how will you limit sales beyond the geographic territory covered by the agreement?
3. Wholesale or Retail Distribution. Will your foreign distributor be a wholesaler who provides the software to local retailers? Is your distributor a retailer?
4. Manufacturing Rights. Will your distributor be able to make copies of the software to sell (e.g. OEM software) or is your distributor limited to distribution rights for software copies you provide?
5. Marketing and Advertising. Who is responsible for marketing and advertising the software in the covered territory?
