Document background
This Non-Exclusive Agreement template is designed for use in the Irish jurisdiction when parties wish to establish a formal business relationship while maintaining the flexibility to enter into similar arrangements with others. It is particularly useful in situations where exclusivity would be impractical or undesirable, such as distribution agreements, licensing arrangements, or service provision contracts. The document incorporates key elements of Irish contract law and relevant EU regulations, providing a balanced framework that protects both parties' interests while maintaining commercial flexibility. It includes comprehensive provisions for defining the scope of rights granted, performance standards, intellectual property protection, and risk allocation, all while explicitly preserving each party's ability to engage in parallel arrangements with third parties.
