Exclusive Dealing Agreements

What is Exclusive Dealing Agreements?

Exclusive dealing agreements are contractual arrangements between suppliers and buyers that restrict the buyer from purchasing goods or services from competing suppliers. These agreements can have significant implications for businesses and market competition. In antitrust law, exclusive dealing agreements are closely scrutinized to ensure they don't unfairly limit competition or create monopolies. While they can offer benefits like guaranteed sales for suppliers and stable supply chains for buyers, they may also raise concerns about market foreclosure and reduced consumer choice. The legality of these agreements often depends on factors such as market share, duration, and potential effects on competition. If you're considering entering into an exclusive dealing agreement or facing challenges related to one, it's crucial to understand the legal landscape.
