Frequently Asked Questions about VILOU Distribution
In which countries is VILOU looking for distributors?
In general, requests can be made for various countries and regions.Whether a market is open and strategically suitable is assessed based on existing structures, regulatory requirements, and the submitted sales plan.
Does a distributor automatically receive exclusivity?
No. Exclusivity or territorial protection is not granted automatically. Phased, written agreements with defined channels, objectives, durations, and verification criteria are conceivable.
Is a distributor allowed to sell VILOU products on Amazon or eBay?
Only if the specific marketplace and territory have been explicitly authorized in writing. A general distribution agreement does not automatically cover all platforms.
Can a partner choose a private label as an alternative?
Yes, provided the company and project are suitable. However, private/white label is a separate business model with its own testing procedures, potential minimum order quantities, and a separate customer brand.
Are formulations transferred to distributors or private label customers?
No, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. Recipes and manufacturing knowledge remain protected; partners receive the product information necessary for distribution and safe use.
