The Agency and Distribution Agreement is a vital commercial contract used when a business seeks to expand its market presence through third-party representatives or distributors in Denmark or internationally. This document is particularly relevant when companies need to establish a formal commercial relationship with agents who will represent them in market activities or with distributors who will purchase and resell their products. The agreement must comply with Danish law, specifically the Commercial Agents Act (Handelsagentloven) and relevant EU regulations, including competition law requirements. It covers crucial aspects such as territory definition, exclusivity arrangements, commission structures, minimum performance requirements, and termination provisions. The document is essential for businesses looking to expand their distribution networks while maintaining control over their brand and market presence, and it provides necessary legal protections for both the principal/supplier and the agent/distributor.
