Document background
The Simple Exclusivity Agreement is a fundamental commercial contract used in Swiss business relationships where one party grants another exclusive rights within a defined scope. This document is particularly relevant when establishing exclusive distribution arrangements, licensing relationships, or service provision agreements in Switzerland. It must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations and Swiss competition law, particularly regarding territorial restrictions and market impact. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions on the nature of exclusivity, geographic limitations, duration, performance requirements, and termination rights. This type of agreement is commonly used in various industries where controlled distribution or service channels are essential, requiring careful consideration of both commercial interests and legal compliance under Swiss law.
