Document background
The Reseller Software License agreement is essential for software companies expanding their market reach through indirect sales channels in the Netherlands and potentially across the EU. This document type is typically used when a software vendor wants to establish a formal reseller relationship without transferring ownership of the intellectual property. It includes comprehensive provisions for license grant, territory definitions, pricing structures, and compliance requirements under Dutch law. The agreement is particularly important for ensuring compliance with both Dutch commercial code and EU regulations, including GDPR and software licensing directives. It should be used when establishing new reseller relationships or formalizing existing arrangements, and requires careful consideration of Dutch contract law principles, especially regarding commercial agency and distribution relationships.
