The Legal Risk Score of a Agency Agreement (Sale of Goods) Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document allows the Manufacturer to unilaterally change product specifications and prices, which could impact the Agent's ability to sell products and manage inventory effectively.
- The Manufacturer retains the right to directly sell to certain customers within the territory, potentially reducing the market available to the Agent and affecting their earning potential.
- The Manufacturer has the exclusive right to assign or transfer the agreement without the consent of the Agent, limiting the Agent's control over the future of the business relationship.
Overall, this document tends to favor the Manufacturer by providing them with significant control over the terms and execution of sales, as well as unilateral rights to modify the agreement's conditions or terminate it. Users familiar with agency agreements may find this document slightly more risky due to these provisions that heavily favor one party, and should consider whether the level of control retained by the Manufacturer aligns with their business goals and operational flexibility.
