 Agreements represent versioned templates that are created by Distributors to sign corresponding Contracts with other accounts (Vendors or Resellers). Therefore, Distributors are required to generate an agreement before creating contracts on the CloudBlue Connect platform. There are several types of agreements on the CloudBlue Connect platform. This includes program agreements, distribution agreements, service agreements, referral agreements, and syndication agreements. Consequently, each agreement is used to collaborate with Vendors, invited Distributors, or Resellers and serves as a template for corresponding contract type.
 Agreement objects also feature agreement versions. Agreement versions, as the name implies, represent various versions (i.e., different document versions) of your agreement. Note that agreement objects don't include statuses or transitions. However, the system provides a specific workflow for agreement versions. Thus, for example, the Connect platform enables Distributors to create agreement versions in the *Active* or *Inactive* state. In case certain criteria are met, your agreement version can be activated, deactivated or deleted. Access required statuses and transitions for further description details.

 The system allows Vendors to generate listing requests of the following types: *create* (requests to list a new product), *update* (requests to update listing data), or delete (requests to delist a product from the marketplace). Consequently, all listing requests should be processed by Distributors/ Resellers.
 
 Once a new listing request object is generated, the system assigns the *Draft* status to this object. Once Vendors submit their request to Distributor or Reseller systems, the request object is automatically assigned to the *Reviewing* state. Distributors or Resellers can start processing the request and transfer it to the *Deploying* state. In case the request processing is successful, Distributors/Resellers assign the *Completed* status to this request.
