Product Description

This professionally drafted Agency Agreement governs the commercial relationship between a principal and an agent engaged in the promotion and sale of the principal’s products, goods, or services in return for commission-based remuneration. It sets out clear terms and conditions to ensure mutual understanding, legal clarity, and a structured, beneficial partnership.

A central feature of the agreement is the territorial allocation granted to the agent for the duration of the engagement. The designated territory may be limited to a specific locality, such as a city or region, or extend nationally or globally, at the discretion of the principal. This territorial scope may also be expanded contingent on the agent’s performance.

The agreement also addresses the important distinction between exclusive and non-exclusive agency arrangements. This determination is made based on commercial considerations and the nature of the products or services involved. An exclusive appointment may incentivise greater commitment from the agent, while a non-exclusive arrangement may be preferable in markets requiring broad sales coverage or high turnover. For a detailed explanation of how exclusive vs. non-exclusive arrangements work in practice, see our Agency Agreement Guide.

The template provides flexibility with respect to commission structure, allowing the principal to define remuneration terms appropriate to their commercial objectives. The document also outlines, in precise terms, the roles, obligations, and responsibilities of both the agent and the principal—promoting transparency and accountability throughout the course of the agreement.

This agreement has been drafted in accordance with the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993, which remain applicable in the United Kingdom following their transposition into domestic law prior to the UK’s departure from the European Union. As such, the agreement is suitable for use within the UK, across the EU, and internationally.

In addition, the agreement contains provisions that ensure compliance with the Bribery Act 2010, thereby supporting ethical standards and lawful business practices.

• Interpretation
• Terms of Agency
