1. Define the territory: geography, channel scope and exclusivity options

Be precise. Territory language that works in Nigeria defines: states or groups of states (e.g., Lagos State; South‑West cluster), city clusters (Lagos metro, Abuja FCT), and whether the agreement includes nationwide institutional sales, e‑commerce, or only local retail/clinic channels. For exclusivity, negotiate one of these patterns:

• Full exclusivity: distributor is the sole MAIKONG reseller for defined geography and all channels (rare; requires strong commitments).
• Channel exclusivity: exclusive rights for specific channels (e.g., clinics and spas) while MAIKONG or other partners may sell to hospitals or government procurement directly.
• Non‑exclusive or limited exclusivity: useful where distributor capacity is unproven; convert to stronger exclusivity after performance milestones.

Trade‑off to note: broader exclusivity raises the bar on minimum commitments. If you ask for state‑wide exclusivity, expect MAIKONG to require defined stocking, marketing spend or minimum purchase commitments before grant.

2. Operational expectations to include

The agreement should list operational deliverables the distributor must meet to keep exclusivity. Standard items to negotiate:

• Demo stock: number and model of demo units to maintain in showrooms or partner clinics. MAIKONG offers demo and training kits on request; include how many demo hours or events are expected monthly.
• After‑sales support: first‑line troubleshooting, local spare parts availability, and the escalation path to MAIKONG factory support. Specify whether the distributor handles returns-to-factory or repairs locally.
• Training: initial factory training for sales and service staff, plus a schedule for recurrent training (e.g., train‑the‑trainer). MAIKONG declares partner training programmes; include training attendance and certification as contract milestones.
• Local language support and marketing: because MAIKONG provides multilingual support, state which languages your frontline team will use and what marketing collateral you require in local dialects.

3. Commercial terms to negotiate (without price figures)

Pricing, margins and payment terms must be explicit in the offer letter—MAIKONG provides wholesale pricing on inquiry. Negotiate these commercially sensitive points:

• Payment structure: advance deposit, letter of credit, or sight TT; whether invoice financing is acceptable.
• Minimum opening order vs rolling purchase commitments: prefer a staged minimum tied to performance rather than an open‑ended quota.
• Promotional support: co‑funding for local launches, approved ad creative, or demo days. Ask MAIKONG to specify co‑op percentages in the proposal.
• OEM/customisation costs: if you want custom branding or software changes, obtain a separate quote and confirmed lead times.

4. Performance benchmarks and review cadence

Fix objective KPIs and review periods. Useful metrics for the Nigerian market include:

• Sales volume and value by quarter (or number of units sold per quarter)
• Stock coverage and days of stock on hand for key SKUs
• Number of trained resellers/technicians and completed demo events
• After‑sales indicators: average time to first response, repairs completed locally vs returned

Set formal reviews at 90 days, six months and annually. Use an initial probationary term (commonly 6–12 months) after which exclusivity can be confirmed, adjusted or revoked by agreed rules. Avoid vague “reasonable efforts” clauses—measure performance with named KPIs.

5. Inventory and logistics: lead times and import responsibilities

Manufacturer declarations list ready stock availability, but you must confirm lead times for local vs OEM orders in writing. Key contract points:

• Who handles import clearance, duties and local taxes? If you act as importer of record, state responsibilities clearly.
• Stock ownership and reporting: do units remain MAIKONG property until paid, or are they sold FOB/CIF? This affects insurance and risk of loss.
• Lead times for factory replenishment and for customized units. If MAIKONG quotes “ready stock”, ask for guaranteed minimum on‑hand units and estimated replenishment lead times.

Note: MAIKONG’s public profile declares ready stock and OEM options. The agreement must convert those declarations into firm lead‑time commitments for your chosen SKUs.

6. Branding, OEM and reporting rules

Specify permitted brand use, co‑branding rules and any limits on modifying MAIKONG materials. Because we offer OEM services, the contract should include:

• Approved logos, template report branding and where distributor branding may appear (e.g., clinic headreports).
• Reporting templates and cadence: monthly sales, warranty cases, service events, marketing activities. Agree on a template in advance so performance reviews are evidence-based.
• Confidentiality and IP clauses around any custom software or reports created for your market.

7. After‑sales support, warranty handling and documentation

MAIKONG declares “exceptional after‑sales support” and lifetime free software upgrades—translate that into contractual terms:

• Manufacturer warranty period and what it covers (parts, labour, software updates). Ask MAIKONG to put warranty scope in the contract.
• Who pays for shipping for warranty returns? Specify RMA procedures and fault verification steps.
• Spare‑parts stocking obligations: agree on a minimum list of fast‑moving parts the distributor must keep locally, or whether parts are supplied on demand from MAIKONG.

8. Conflict resolution, contract length and termination triggers

Protect both parties with clear terms:

• Initial term and renewal rules—use a fixed initial period with automatic renewal contingent on KPI achievement.
• Termination triggers: prolonged KPI breach, insolvency, serious legal violation, or failure to maintain agreed service levels. Require written cure periods where reasonable.
• Dispute resolution: choose arbitration or courts, and specify governing law (agree mutually—MAIKONG can work with Nigeria‑favourable terms where practical).
• Transition obligations on termination: inventory buy‑back or sell‑through windows, transfer of open orders, and handling of existing warranties.

9. Checklist of evidence and documents to collect before signing

Prepare these items when you request a territory proposal:

• Company registration (CAC) and tax identification (TIN)
• Bank reference and recent audited or management financials
• Detailed market plan for the requested territory (channels, target segments, five‑point launch plan)
• Service capability statement: list of technicians, workshop addresses, inventory holding capacity
• Proof of premises and showroom/demo capability, or partner clinic agreements
• Import license or customs agent details if you will import directly
• References from suppliers or partners in similar product categories

10. How to prepare a territory request to MAIKONG

Send a concise, evidence‑based packet that contains:

• Requested territory: list states, cities or channel boundaries and whether you request exclusivity (and at what channel level).
• Current company profile and licences; staff list for sales and service.
• Marketing and launch plan with estimated demo days, training schedule and expected initial order size (ballpark is fine; MAIKONG will quote).
• Preferred payment terms, proposed KPIs and any co‑funding requests for launch support.
• Any local regulatory or import concerns in Nigeria you want MAIKONG to acknowledge.
