This query is : Resolved
Dear all'
A manufacturing agreement is going to be executed between two parties A of West Bengal and B of Orissa . B will manufacture on behalf of A under the brand name of A. Can A stipulate in the contract agreement a clause that "so long the agreement is in force A shall not get the product manufactured from any other party other than B in the state of Orissa"? Is it barred under The Competition Act? Kindly help me.
Regards,
Heaven,Kolkata.

Such a provision in the contract would not in any way attract the provisions of the Competition Act.
What is to be considered is whether "A" would be agreeable for such a term in the agreement.

Yes, the clause does not violate the provisions of the Competition Act.
This sort of the clause is treated is valid and termed as Exclusive clause.
