The Contractor Sales Commission Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Switzerland that engage independent sales contractors rather than employees for their sales activities. This document is specifically designed to comply with Swiss law, particularly the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations regarding agency contracts and commission arrangements. It is used when a company wishes to establish a clear independent contractor relationship for sales activities, defining commission structures, sales territories, and performance expectations while maintaining compliance with Swiss regulations on independent contractor classification. The agreement is crucial for protecting both parties' interests and ensuring clarity in commission calculations, payment terms, and business responsibilities.
