Document background
This Independent Sales Rep Contract is essential for businesses operating in the Philippines that engage external sales representatives to promote and sell their products or services. The document is crucial for properly establishing an independent contractor relationship, distinguishing it from employment arrangements under Philippine labor law. It should be used when a company wants to engage sales representatives without creating an employer-employee relationship, providing clear terms for territory rights, commission structures, performance expectations, and compliance requirements. The contract addresses key aspects of Philippine commercial law, tax regulations, and business registration requirements, while including provisions for protecting confidential information and intellectual property. It's particularly important for companies expanding their sales channels through independent representatives rather than direct employees.
