Sales Exclusivity Agreement

A Sales Exclusivity Agreement is a document used by a buyer and a seller who would like to set up an arrangement where the buyer purchases a product only from that seller. New business arrangements can be mutually beneficial and lead to increased revenue and deals for both parties. Using a Sales Exclusivity Agreement, the parties can clearly establish the specific terms of their business arrangement.

The Exclusivity Agreement acts as a contract between the parties so that the buyer purchases a product exclusively from the seller and the seller remains the sole provider of those goods for the life of the contract. This arrangement helps the seller obtain a competitive advantage by securing a reliable regular customer and restricting who receives the product from them. It is important to note that under this contract, while the buyer is agreeing to exclusively purchase the product from the seller, the seller may still sell the product to other customers. However, using a Sales Exclusivity Agreement can be beneficial for the buyer because it allows them to lock-in advantageous pricing and discounts in exchange for their commitment to buy exclusively from the seller.

For a more general-purpose sales agreement that does not include a component of exclusivity, please see this Sale of Goods Agreement. For a document where one party agrees to sell goods on behalf of another party, please see this Consignment Agreement. For a document where one party purchases goods from another party with the sole purpose of reselling them, please see this Distribution Agreement.

How to use this document

This Sales Exclusivity Agreement can be used by a seller who intends to be the exclusive and sole provider of a particular good or service to a buyer or by a buyer who is looking to purchase goods exclusively from a particular seller.

Using this document, the parties can enter important identifying details, such as whether they are individuals or companies, their addresses, and their pertinent contact information. The document also outlines the most important characteristics of the business relationship, including a thorough description of the product, pricing, shipping and delivery, the manner in which the seller will bill the buyer and the buyer will pay the seller, and potential for discounts or late fees. Importantly, this document allows the parties to describe the exclusive nature of their relationship, defining a start and end date for the exclusivity arrangement and the terms and conditions that will apply during that time.

Finally, the parties will also be able to specify how the risk of loss is transferred and when the buyer actually owns the goods. This Sales Exclusivity Arrangement will help both parties cover everything that needs to be addressed before the sale of the goods goes through and the parties enter into this exclusive business relationship.

When this agreement is done being filled out, it should be printed, signed by both parties, and a copy should be kept by each for future reference.

Applicable law

Similar to a Sale of Goods Agreement, Sales Exclusivity Agreements in the United States are generally subject to specific state laws, which cover general contract principles like formation and mutual understanding. State laws also cover commercial transactions and business. Individual state laws should be checked for anything relating to the sale of goods or the interpretation of the contract in case of a dispute.
