CLIMMAR therefore calls on manufacturers to reach a situation where the suppliers and dealers are more equal. Today it is simply too uneven. Trust and loyalty are the fundamental ingredients for a stable and profitable relationship and if this does not exist between a supplier and a dealership, the future relationship will not survive changes or difficulties. We seek an equal business relationship - with mutual respect. 

Long-term exclusive contracts

• All contracts should be on exclusive basis to support the dealer
• Secure more equal business relationship between dealer and supplier

Termination clauses

• Realistic clauses with exclusive rights
• Finance/Bank

Compensation

• Financial compensation based on initial and on-going investment
• Stock and parts return

CLIMMAR sincerely invites and encourages all suppliers to open up the dialogue towards balanced dealer contracts reflecting an equal business relationship.
