The Exclusive Marketing Agreement is a specialized contract used when a company (principal) wishes to grant exclusive rights to another party to market and promote its products or services within a specific territory in Switzerland or internationally under Swiss law. This document is particularly crucial for businesses expanding their market presence through dedicated marketing partners while maintaining control over their brand and marketing strategy. The agreement typically includes comprehensive provisions on exclusivity scope, performance requirements, territorial restrictions, and compliance with Swiss competition law. It's especially relevant when establishing long-term marketing partnerships that require significant investment and commitment from both parties, and where the marketing partner will be the sole representative for the principal's marketing activities in the defined territory.
