Vendor Agreement

A Vendor Agreement is a document through which two parties, one called a vendor and one called an organizer, contract for the sale of vendor's goods at an event run by the organizer. Sometimes these documents are called "Vending Agreements" and the idea is the same. In this document, the parties are generally forming a relationship so that the vendor can pay the organizer for space to sell the vendor's goods.

There are very often organizers who throw temporary events, like holiday markets, who could benefit from an agreement like this. Sometimes, these vendor agreements can be used for fairs or farmers' markets. In other words, this agreement can be used anywhere where an organizer is temporarily holding space for several vendors.

This agreement will cover everything required for a contractual relationship like this.

How to use this document

This document can be used for a vendor looking to sell goods at an organizer's marketplace or for an organizer to use a standard template with vendors that may come and go. The agreement is not slanted towards either party - it is a fair and equitable agreement for both. This document would be great for organizers that run regular vending events.

In this document, the form filler will be able to enter pertinent identifying details, such as whether the parties are individuals or businesses, and each of the parties' respective addresses and contact information (including email address). The form filler will also input the most important characteristics of the agreement between the parties, like what the details of the event are (everything from date and time to expected attendees), as well as what the vendor will be selling and the fees involved.

There will also be general contract provisions included, which cover the state location for any disputes, as well as other general terms.

When this agreement is filled out, it should be printed and signed by both parties. Ideally, a copy of this document should be kept with each party throughout the duration of their relationship and after.

Applicable law

Vendor Agreements in the United States are subject to both Federal laws and specific state laws, which cover general contract principles like formation and mutual understanding. Federal laws may restrict what can be sold (for example, no one may not contract to sell anything illegal), but individual state laws will generally govern the interpretation of the contract in case of a dispute.
