Direct selling agreement.
Review the selling model, roles, customer obligations and terms relevant to the arrangement.
The right support.
With the details in view.
A direct selling agreement describes the relationship between a business and the people selling its goods or services through the proposed model. The commercial terms need to match actual sales practices, customer protections and applicable direct selling rules. Drafting should follow a model review; an agreement cannot legitimise a prohibited scheme or unsupported earnings claims.
First, establish what applies
Documents should reflect the transaction, parties, location and applicable law. Drafting, legal advice, disputes, execution, stamping and registration need appropriate professional review; a template alone does not complete those steps.

Useful answers.
01Does signing an agreement approve the selling model?+
No. The business model and practices must independently comply with applicable rules.
02Can sellers promise guaranteed earnings?+
Marketing and earnings representations require careful substantiation and legal review; the agreement should not authorise misleading claims.
03Are customer policies separate?+
Yes. The seller arrangement must be consistent with the business’s actual customer information, grievance and return processes.
