The Representation Agreement serves as a crucial legal framework for businesses and individuals operating in the Netherlands who need to delegate authority to representatives for various commercial purposes. This document type is specifically designed to comply with Dutch legal requirements and EU regulations, incorporating essential provisions from the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and relevant European directives. The agreement is commonly used when a company or individual (the principal) wishes to appoint another party (the representative) to act on their behalf in specific territories or for specific purposes. A well-drafted Representation Agreement is essential for clearly defining the scope of authority, protecting both parties' interests, establishing clear compensation structures, and ensuring compliance with Dutch legal requirements regarding commercial representation.
