Sales Agency Agreement

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.

Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Unclear or onerous payment terms can strain relationships and create liquidity issues. Well-defined terms reduce disputes and protect against non‐payment.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Negotiate for clear payment schedules and favorable terms to ensure cash flow predictability. Insist on remedies for late payments to protect financial interests.

If you're the Service Provider:

Ensure invoicing procedures are straightforward and payment terms are reasonable to maintain a good relationship. Consider offering early payment discounts to incentivize timely payments.
