A114	Representation Agreement Template	£44.00 + VAT
This representation agreement template is suitable for use where a manufacturer or supplier in one country appoints a company in another country to act as its sales agent.  Instead of receiving commission, a cost sharing and profit sharing arrangement gives the sales agent a percentage of the profits generated from sales each year. The 12 main clauses deal with the sales agent's appointment and duties, duration, products and, particularly, financial arrangements which are more complex than most agency agreements.  Also there are duties on the supplier as well as clauses dealing with intellectual property rights, non-competition, termination etc.  This template agreement is worth considering where there is already a pattern of dealing between principal and agent and the parties want to develop that role into a profit-sharing arrangement.
