紧急求助 如何翻译 status of distributor
翻译经销商协议时碰到的
Article 5 status of distributor
后面跟着的一段描述是说经销商不得向第三方透露有关合作细节等等
这个地方的Status如何翻译?
"地位,状况"等单词用在这儿貌似不恰当呢
详细为:
Article5. Status of Distributor
5.1 Distributor shall not disclose to any third party, without the prior written consent of Manufacturer, or use of any purpose other than the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Any confidential information concerning the products or business affairs of Manufacturer (including, but not limited to, prices discounts, terms and conditions) which it receives directly or indirectly from Manufacturer, or which it acquires or develops in the course of its transaction with Manufacturer.

Article 5:status of distributor
第五则:经销商的(合法)资格
之后 是不是有"向第三方透露有关合作细节等等,将被处罚"
