Document background
The Simple Exclusivity Agreement is a fundamental commercial contract used to establish and govern exclusive business relationships under German law. It is particularly valuable when one party wishes to grant another party exclusive rights to sell products, provide services, or represent their interests in a specific territory or market segment. The document addresses key aspects required under German legal framework, including provisions from the BGB (German Civil Code) and HGB (German Commercial Code), while ensuring compliance with both German and EU competition laws. This Simple Exclusivity Agreement is commonly used in distribution arrangements, agency relationships, and service provider agreements, providing a structured framework for exclusive commercial relationships while maintaining sufficient flexibility to accommodate specific business needs. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions on the scope of exclusivity, performance requirements, territorial restrictions, and termination rights, making it suitable for both domestic German operations and international business relationships governed by German law.
