Document background
The Simple Exclusivity Agreement is a fundamental legal instrument used to establish exclusive commercial relationships in the Dutch business environment. It is particularly valuable when businesses need to create protected commercial arrangements, such as exclusive distribution rights, sole supplier relationships, or territorial exclusivity. This document type is designed to comply with Dutch civil law and EU competition regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and international business relationships. The agreement typically includes clear definitions of the exclusive rights granted, territorial scope, duration, and performance expectations. Companies should consider using a Simple Exclusivity Agreement when they want to formalize exclusive business relationships while ensuring compliance with relevant competition laws and maintaining flexibility for future business development.
