Document background
The Non-Exclusive Representation Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Switzerland who wish to establish formal commercial relationships with representatives while maintaining flexibility to work with multiple partners. This document type is commonly used when a company (principal) wants to authorize another party (representative) to promote their products or services in specific markets or territories, without granting exclusivity. The agreement must comply with Swiss law, particularly the Code of Obligations (OR), and typically includes detailed provisions on representation scope, compensation, territory definitions, performance expectations, and termination conditions. It's particularly valuable for companies expanding their market presence through representatives while maintaining control over their commercial relationships and avoiding the restrictions associated with exclusive arrangements.
