Because of this blog, our China lawyers get a fairly steady stream of China law questions from readers, mostly via emails but occasionally via blog comments as well. If we were to conduct research on all the questions we get asked and then comprehensively answer them, we would become overwhelmed. So what we usually do is provide a super fast general answer and, when it is easy to do so, a link or two to a blog post that may provide some additional guidance. We figure we might as well post some of these on here as well. On Fridays, like today.
The below is from an email that one of our China lawyers got this week and it if we had a series of common myths about Chinese law, this one would certainly make the top ten.
I am trying to work out a distributorship arrangement with a company in China and they are saying that Chinese law requires we give it an exclusive for all of China. Is this true?
No. This is not true. Nor is it true that you must give your distributer an absolute minimum to make a go as your distributer (which is also often claimed).
For more on the exclusivity issue check out China Distribution Agreements: Exclusivity Is NOT Required and for more on what should go into your China distributor contract, check out China Distribution Agreements In Real Life.
The post Quick Question Friday, China Law Answers, Part XXIII appeared first on China Law Blog.
We will be discussing the practical aspects of Chinese law and how it impacts business there. We will be telling you what works and what does not and what you as a businessperson can do to use the law to your advantage. Our aim is to assist businesses already in China or planning to go into China, not to break new ground in legal theory or policy.
