Getting started with QuoteCloud

Distributor agreements both directors sign

Territory, the distributor price list, minimums and how it ends, in one agreement signed by both sides, with its expiry on your list.

QuoteCloud sends distributor and reseller agreements as documents: the territory and terms as clauses, the distributor price list as a price table at list less the agreed discount, signatures from both directors, and an expiry date the Expiring Soon filter shows you. Nothing renews by itself; a new agreement is signed again.

Last reviewed by the QuoteCloud team

Three pages of a fictional distributor agreement, TT-DA-0207, between Tanbark Trade Supply and Coastline Packaging Supplies for the Harbourside region, fanned out and taking turns at the front: the cover, prepared for Marcus Hale; the agreement term from 1 Nov 2026 to 31 Oct 2028 with numbered clauses for territory, prices at list less 30%, a minimum order of four pallets a quarter, payment and ending the agreement; and the signature page, signed by Marcus Hale for Coastline and Rhea Castellan for Tanbark, 2 of 2 signed.

Coastline's agreement, page by page

Two years, one region, one price list. Everything a reseller and a wholesaler agree, in one document both directors sign.

    Both directors sign

    Marcus signs for Coastline and Rhea for Tanbark, each from their own email, with no account needed. The signed agreement carries a certificate of authenticity and an audit trail.

See the agreements that are about to run out

Each agreement carries its expiry date, and the Expiring Soon filter lists every document that runs out in the next 30 days. Owen opens it on a Monday and sees Ridgeline's Hillcrest agreement has a week left, two project quotes are about to lapse and Saltpan's agreement ends next month.

Nothing renews by itself. When Tanbark wants to keep a distributor, Owen prepares a new agreement from the current template and both directors sign again.

  • An expiry date on every agreement and quote

  • A new agreement signed again, never a silent renewal

What changes once distributor agreements live in QuoteCloud

The agreement itself is still yours. QuoteCloud makes it the same for every reseller and easy to sign.

  • Every distributor, the same current terms

    One distributor agreement template, so the Harbourside and Hillcrest resellers sign the same clauses, not two versions from different years.

  • Price lists from your catalogue

    Lines come from your product catalogue at the distributor's agreed discount, so the agreement and your trade prices never drift apart.

  • Two signers, no printing

    Both directors sign from their own email, on any device. Several signers are supported; nobody needs a QuoteCloud account.

  • Expiry you can see coming

    The Expiring Soon filter shows the agreements and quotes running out in the next 30 days.

  • A new price list to every reseller

    Send the next price list to all your distributors at once with bulk send, each a personalised copy you can track.

  • Agents as well as distributors

    Independent sales agents get their own agreement: the Sales Agency Agreement template covers commission, territory and expectations.

Put your next distributor agreement in front of both directors

Free for 14 days, no credit card required. Send us your current agreement and price list; one template conversion is free during the trial.

Clauses nobody edits by accident

The legal clauses go into Tanbark's content library as locked company blocks: Owen can use them in any agreement but can't change them. Only the territory, the dates and the price list change from one reseller to the next.

Version history keeps the earlier versions of a document, so you can see what Coastline was sent before a change. Both are on the Business plan. The wording is still yours: QuoteCloud doesn't give legal advice.

  • Locked company blocks for the clauses
  • Version history of each document
  • Two signers, certificate of authenticity

Next year's price list, to every reseller in one send

Coastline's agreement says a new price list arrives 30 days before it applies. Tanbark sends the 2027 list to every distributor and trade account in one bulk send: each gets their own copy, and the list shows who has opened it and who has acknowledged it.

Bulk send is on Essentials and up, with costs based on volume.

  • Personalised copies from one template
  • Sent, opened and accepted at a glance

Appoint a distributor in five steps

From your template to an agreement both sides have signed.

  1. Build the template once

    Start from the Distributor Agreement template; lock the clauses on Business.

  2. Fill in the reseller

    Territory, start and expiry dates, minimum order and the contacts who sign.

  3. Add the price list

    Catalogue lines with the agreed discount on each line in the Discount column.

  4. Send to both signers

    Their director and yours sign online; tracking shows when it's been read.

  5. Watch the expiry

    The Expiring Soon filter shows it 30 days out; a new agreement is signed again.

Questions about distributor agreements

Can two directors sign the same distributor agreement?

Yes. Add both as signers and each signs from their own email, on any device, without a QuoteCloud account. When everyone has signed, the agreement carries a certificate of authenticity and an audit trail. eSignatures are on every plan; QuoteCloud doesn't set a signing order.

Does a distributor agreement renew automatically?

No. QuoteCloud doesn't renew anything by itself. Each agreement has an expiry date, and the Expiring Soon filter (Essentials and up) lists documents running out in the next 30 days. To keep a distributor, prepare a new agreement from your current template and both sides sign it again.

How do we show the distributor's prices in the agreement?

Add your catalogue lines to a price table and put the agreed discount, for example 30%, in the Discount column on each line. The distributor sees list price, discount and net per carton; your costs and margins stay hidden. QuoteCloud shows the price basis you agreed; it doesn't calculate rebates or commission.

Can we stop staff editing the legal clauses?

On the Business plan, save the clauses to your content library as locked company blocks. Staff can add them to an agreement but can't change the wording. Version history, also on Business, keeps earlier versions of a document. QuoteCloud doesn't give legal advice, so have your own adviser approve the wording.

Can we send a new price list to every distributor at once?

Yes. Bulk send, on Essentials and up with volume-based costs, sends personalised copies of one document to a list of recipients and shows which have been sent, opened and accepted. A new agreement, rather than a price list, is still best sent and signed one distributor at a time.

Is there a template for distributor and agency agreements?

QuoteCloud's template library includes a Distributor Agreement template for manufacturers, wholesalers and suppliers, and a Sales Agency Agreement template for independent sales agents. Start from one, add your own clauses, territory and price list, and save it as your own template for every reseller.
