Document background
A Sales Partnership Agreement is essential for companies looking to expand their sales reach in the Netherlands through partnership arrangements. This document is particularly relevant when a company wants to engage external partners to promote and sell their products or services without establishing their own direct sales force. The agreement must comply with Dutch law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and EU regulations regarding commercial relationships. It covers crucial aspects such as territory definitions, commission structures, performance metrics, and termination provisions. The document is designed to provide clear guidelines while maintaining flexibility for various business models and protecting both parties' interests. It's commonly used in both domestic Dutch markets and for international companies entering the Netherlands through local partners.
