This study aims to analyze the implementation of the proportionality principle in distribution agreements between producers and distributors in Indonesia, as well as the legal consequences arising from the absence of such principle in contractual relationships. This research employs a normative legal research method using both statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials used consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources obtained through library research and analyzed descriptively using a qualitative method. The results indicate that the proportionality principle plays an important role in creating a balance of rights and obligations between the parties in distribution agreements. The implementation of this principle is reflected in the negotiation process, the drafting of contractual clauses, the execution of agreements, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Conversely, the absence of the proportionality principle may result in contractual imbalance, breach of contract, abuse of circumstances, and business disputes that are detrimental to the parties involved. Therefore, the proportionality principle is essential to establish fair business relationships and ensure legal certainty.
