A Sales Agency Agreement defines the relationship between a principal and agent for the promotion and sale of goods or services. This playbook outlines commission structures, exclusivity provisions, and termination rights critical to effective representation.
Why This Matters: Non-compliance with privacy regulations can result in severe fines and reputational damage. Robust provisions mitigate regulatory risk and safeguard sensitive information.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Company:
Ensure that the contract includes comprehensive data protection measures. Insist on regular audits and breach notifications to maintain oversight and compliance.
If you're the Service Provider:
Negotiate for reasonable limitations on audit frequency and scope. Ensure that breach notification timelines are feasible and clearly defined.
