If this is an exclusive agency, which means the Agent is the Company’s only authorized agent for marketing the products in the territory, and the Company agrees not to appoint other agents in the same territory, you can add “as the Company’s sole and exclusive agent.
With certain limitations stated herein, the Company hereby authorizes the Agent the right to market and offer for sale the Products according to the terms and limitations stated in this Agency Agreement.
1. The Agent shall only market and offer for sale the products within the Territory, as defined in this Agreement.

The last sentence is for situations in which the Agent and the Company are working in regulated industries such as law, medicine, or immigration. For instance, if the Agent is working as a paralegal on behalf of the Company, they must agree to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the laws of their country. If this doesn’t apply to your contract, you can remove the statement.

Depending on what the Agent will be doing for your Company, it may be a better idea to pay the Agent a flat fee instead of a percentage rate. If you decide to do so, be sure to change the wording of this section as needed.

1. Act with diligence, devoting reasonable time and effort to fulfill the duties described herein;

Most Agents will be independent contractors for the Company, but they can be employees. If that’s the case, be sure to change the wording of this section as needed.

If you want to have the Agent protect against losses, consider adjusting this section so it is more of a Hold Harmless clause. For example, you could replace “all legal action and costs of every kind pertaining to any violation of the law, this Agreement, or the rights of any third party by the Agent while acting pursuant to this Agreement” with “any damages resulting from any part of this Agreement such as, but not limited to, loss of revenue or anticipated profit or lost business, costs of delay, or failure of delivery, which are not related to or the direct result of a Party’s breach or negligence.
This Agreement and the interpretation of its terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Alpine County, California.
