Good to know
- If the distributor pays a fee for the rights and must follow the supplier's business system and brand, Ontario's Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000 and similar laws in other provinces may treat it as a franchise, with disclosure rules.
- The supplier may suggest resale prices but should not force them; price-fixing between competitors is a crime under the Competition Act.
- Food, cosmetics and health products need bilingual labels that follow federal rules. Say who is responsible.
