The Sales Agent Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used when a company (Principal) wishes to engage an independent commercial agent to promote and sell its products or services in Belgium or broader territories. This document is essential for businesses expanding their sales operations through agents rather than employed salespeople. The agreement must comply with the Belgian Law on Commercial Agency Agreements of 1995, which provides significant protective measures for commercial agents. It covers essential elements such as territory definition, commission calculations, performance expectations, and termination provisions. The document is particularly important as Belgian law provides strong protections for commercial agents, including mandatory notice periods, goodwill indemnity upon termination, and specific rules regarding commission payments.
