The Sponsorship Commission Agreement is a crucial document for businesses engaging in sponsorship activities within Switzerland and internationally. This agreement type is specifically designed to formalize the relationship between sponsors and commission agents who identify and secure sponsorship opportunities. It outlines the commission structure, scope of services, territorial rights, and performance expectations while ensuring compliance with Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. The document is essential when companies wish to engage professional intermediaries to expand their sponsorship portfolio, requiring a clear framework for commission payments, reporting requirements, and success metrics. This agreement type is particularly important in situations where ongoing sponsorship opportunities are sought, rather than one-off arrangements, and where professional intermediaries play a key role in facilitating sponsorship deals.
