Inexistencia de una relación de asociación o mandato.

LA DISTRIBUIDORA no comprometerá el crédito de COMPANY A ni COMPANY B ***ni se hará pasar por cualquiera de ellos** ni por mandatario, empleado o representante del mismo, ni actuará de cara a terceros en tal calidad tampoco como si se encontrará facultado o apoderado para contraer obligaciones de cualquier naturaleza, ya sean expresas o implícitas, en nombre y representación los mismo, y nada de lo estipulado en el presente contrato producirá el efecto de constituir a el distribuidor en mandatario, socio, empleado o representante de COMPANY A o COMPANY B . o a éstas en responsable solidario o mancomunado junto con el mismo frente a terceros, incluido el personal de LA DISTRIBUIDORA.

nor shall it purport to be either of these companies
Explanation:
"Pass itself off as" is the sense of "hacerse pasar por", but it's not a normal legal expression.

A common formula for this is "act as or purport to be". However, the "act as" part will probably be needed for "ni actuará de cara a terceros en tal calidad" just afterwards, so I would simply put "purport to be":

"Distributor is not, shall not act as, and shall not purport to be, an agent, partner, joint venturer, fiduciary or employee of Supplier or any other actor for which Supplier is legally responsible."

"Buyer is not, shall not act as, and shall not purport to be, an agent, partner, joint venturer, fiduciary or employee of JELUZ or any other actor for which JELUZ is legally responsible."

Or you could use both formulas, as in this example, and simply repeat "act as" for "actuará".

nor may it act as one of them/nor may it pass itself off as one of them


Explanation:
hacer pasar por = pass oneself off as

For example, "El asesino se hizo pasar por una policía y se huyó de la escena del crimen" would be "The murderer passed himself off as a policeman and escaped from the scene of the crime"
