The term is not self defining.  Read "Strategic Alliances" on my 
site.  Click on "Articles About Being an Entrepreneur."

There are many, many, MANY forms of reseller agreement and ALL should be in 
the form of a valid, written signed agreement.    If you are talking about 
"reselling" design services, there are many, many, MANY legal and business 
issues that can arise including but not limited to a whole bunch of issues 
around rights, payments etc.  Without a valid, written and signed agreement 
by all parties, you can leave yourself open to litigation and other claims.

Also read "Set To Fail" on my site on the same link.
