About this document

This document has been drawn so as to help protect your business, provide an administrative framework for your arrangements with agents. Use it for a deal with a single agent or a corporate organisation; for selling to gift shops or the Ministry of Defence.

This document is suitable for any person setting up one or more commission agents to sell goods inside or outside New Zealand.

This document covers the usual agency situation where the agent has responsibility for selling the goods, marketing as you direct and maintaining customer goodwill.

You can use this agreement either as the basis for individual discussion or to treat it as your standard agent’s terms and serve it up to new agents with no options for change. Either way you will have a comprehensive agreement, drawn to be practical and useful.

Like all Net Lawman documents, it is intended to be practical and useful as well as giving legal protection.

You can state how the goods can be sold, how customers can be managed, what information you require and much more.

Easy To Understand
26 August 2018
Document was clear and relatively easy to understand. If we prepared this document through our lawyer we would have to put all the relevant clauses and information together for them, so it is just as easy to use the Net Lawman template and create our own document.

Quality Document
06 February 2016
Document was good, best feature? It is comprehensive and sets out various options. Benefited by being able to access a quality document quickly without being charged a large fee by legal advisors for dredging out a template from the bottom draw.
