What is a white label agreement?
In a white label arrangement, one business (the provider) makes a product or runs a service, and another business (the partner) sells it to its own customers under the partner's brand. End customers see only the partner. It is common with SaaS platforms, marketing and IT services, supplements and cosmetics, and managed services.
This template works for a software or online service, physical products, or a professional or managed service, and adds the right delivery clause for each. You describe the offering and the branding the provider will apply, set an optional territory and choose non-exclusive or exclusive rights. Pricing can be wholesale prices, a revenue share (with monthly statements and an annual records check) or a platform fee plus per-customer charges, with an optional minimum commitment. You choose how support works, optionally set a monthly availability target, and set the term, renewal notice and a transition period after the end during which the provider keeps serving existing customers and exports their data. Ownership, the provider's promise not to solicit the partner's customers, data protection, confidentiality (including of the white label arrangement itself) and liability are covered.

Using the white label agreement, step by step
1 Describe the offering and the branding
Choose the type of offering and describe it, then list the branding the provider applies — logo, colours, domain, emails, packaging. The provider keeps its name off everything the customer sees, except where the law requires it.
2 Set territory and exclusivity
Leave the territory empty for no limit, or name one. If you choose exclusive, the provider won't white-label the same offering for another partner in that territory.
3 Pick the pricing model
Enter the wholesale prices or fees; for a revenue share, enter the provider's percentage and describe what counts as revenue. Add a minimum commitment if the partner guarantees a monthly amount. The partner sets its own retail prices.
4 Decide support and service levels
Choose whether the partner handles first-line support or the provider supports customers directly under the partner's brand. For software, you can add a monthly availability target with a fair service credit if it is missed.
5 Plan the exit
Set the initial term, renewal notice and a transition period after the end, during which the provider keeps serving existing customers and helps the partner move them, including a data export for software.
Tips Before You Send It
- In some markets, product labels must still show the maker's or importer's details — the agreement allows this wherever the law requires it.
- Agree who owns the customer relationship up front. Here, the customers belong to the partner and the provider may not solicit them for 12 months after the end.
- If the provider handles customer personal data, sign data processing terms alongside this agreement where the law requires them.
- For an arrangement where the partner sells under your brand instead, use a reseller agreement.
- Confidentiality covers the fact that the provider is behind the offering, unless the partner chooses to disclose it.

White label agreement: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between white label and reselling?
A reseller sells your product under your brand. A white label partner sells it under its own brand, and customers usually never see yours.
Who owns the product and the customers?
The provider keeps all rights in the product, software and processes, even when branded for the partner. The partner keeps its brand and owns its customer relationships.
What happens to customers when the agreement ends?
Unless it ended for the partner's non-payment, the provider keeps supplying existing customers on the same terms for the transition period you choose, gives reasonable help moving them, and for software exports the data in a standard format on request.
Is a white label agreement signed online legally binding?
Electronic signatures are generally valid for ordinary commercial contracts in the US (ESIGN Act and UETA), the UK, the EU (eIDAS) and Canada. VergeHR keeps an audit trail and a Certificate of Completion with the signed PDF.
