The Manufacturer Agent Agreement is essential for companies seeking to expand their market presence through commercial agents in Denmark and potentially other territories. This agreement type is specifically governed by Danish law, including the Commercial Agents Act (Handelsagentloven) which implements EU Directive 86/653/EEC. It's particularly important for manufacturers who want to establish a sales presence without setting up their own sales force, defining the framework for how an agent can represent the manufacturer, promote products, and engage with customers. The agreement must carefully balance the manufacturer's need for effective representation with the agent's statutory rights under Danish law, including provisions for commission, termination notice, and potential goodwill compensation. Special attention is required for compliance with both Danish mandatory provisions and EU regulations.
