Document background
This Non Exclusive Contract template is designed for use under Austrian law when parties wish to establish a formal business relationship while maintaining the freedom to enter into similar arrangements with other parties. It's particularly valuable in today's dynamic business environment where exclusive arrangements may limit growth opportunities or operational flexibility. The document encompasses essential elements required under Austrian law, including provisions from the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code), commercial regulations, and relevant EU directives. It's structured to clearly define the scope of non-exclusivity, protect both parties' interests, and ensure compliance with competition laws while maintaining the flexibility needed for modern business operations. This template is especially useful for service agreements, distribution arrangements, consulting relationships, or any business arrangement where parties want to maintain their market freedom while establishing clear terms of engagement.
