The Sole Selling Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used in Indian business operations when a manufacturer or principal wishes to grant exclusive distribution rights to a single agent within a specified territory. This agreement type is particularly regulated under Indian law, with specific considerations under the Competition Act, 2002 to prevent anti-competitive practices. It's commonly used when businesses need dedicated, focused distribution channels and want to maintain control over how their products are sold in specific markets. The agreement must carefully balance the exclusive rights granted with competition law compliance, while clearly defining performance expectations, commission structures, and territorial limits. This document becomes essential in establishing long-term, exclusive commercial relationships while ensuring legal compliance with Indian contract and commercial laws.
