Distribution Contract in Ukraine
Although the distribution contract is not expressly regulated by Ukrainian law, it is particularly widespread in commercial relations involving Ukrainian operators and entrepreneurs. By virtue of the principle of contractual autonomy of the parties enucleated by Articles 6-8 of the Ukrainian Civil Code, which recognizes the possibility for the parties to stipulate contracts not typified by the law (so-called typical or named contracts), the parties can therefore conclude a distribution contract. Furthermore, Ukrainian law allows the parties to attribute legally binding value to the established custom in national and international business relations. However, despite the efforts made by Ukraine to standardize some legal institutions belonging to foreign systems, in order to favor a greater exchange of goods and services, it is still too early to sustain a perfect cohesion of legal and established concepts in practice applied. It follows that the distribution contract in Ukraine, not having its own discipline, tends to be subject to a series of laws such as those relating to competition, consumer protection, intellectual property protection and advertising. It should be noted that if one of the parties is a foreign citizen, the Ukrainian rule of private international law applies to the distribution contract. In accordance with the rules of Ukrainian private international law, when one of the contractors is a citizen of Ukraine or a legal person established in the territory of Ukraine, regardless of the applicable law and the place where it was concluded, the contract must be in writing .
