Commercial Agency Contract (German)

Model of contract specially developed for activities requiring a commercial agent to promote the sale of goods. The model is drafted in such a way that it may be easily adapted to the needs of each activity and type of commercial agent. In this contract, one party (the Principal) places the other, either an individual or a company (the Agent) in charge of controlling the promotion of sales as an independent intermediary without assuming liability for those transactions. The Intermediary receives payment exclusively through commission on transactions which are completed successfully, and in some cases certain costs –for example business trips or promotional activities– may be taken into account. In the most important considerations of the contract (exclusivity, objectives, amounts to be paid and calculation of commissions, information, rescission, damages, etc) there are alternatives of wording.

The language of this contract is German. It is also available in Spanish, French and English.

This is a model of Commercial Agency Contract suitable for companies and/or professionals based in the same country. If the Principal and the Agent are based in different countries the International Commercial Agency Contract should be used.
