We provide in this section model contracts on commercial agency and distributorship. The long forms contain detailed provisions, comments and explanations and are mainly intended to be a tool for the preparation of a tailor-made contract. The short forms, which contain only the basic clauses, are meant for those who look for an easy-to-use tool.

Where a contractual provision of the model contracts is not in compliance with a national law, alternative clauses may be recommended in the relevant country report.

Each type of contract is in three different versions: one on the side of the agent/distributor; one on the side of the principal/supplier, while the third tries to strike a reasonable balance between the two.
