Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sherwin Williams, as a third party beneficiary, would not have enforcement rights unless the contract explicitly designates Sherwin Williams as an intended beneficiary with enforceable rights under the contract. Typically, specifying a brand in a contract does not create enforceable rights for the brand manufacturer unless the contract clearly intends to benefit that third party.
