An Exclusive Representation Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to establish controlled distribution channels or market presence in Nigeria through authorized representatives. This document is particularly crucial when a company (principal) wants to grant exclusive rights to another entity (representative) to promote and sell their products or services in specific Nigerian territories. The agreement, governed by Nigerian law, typically includes comprehensive terms covering exclusivity rights, territorial limitations, commission structures, performance targets, and compliance requirements. It's commonly used when entering new markets, launching products, or restructuring distribution networks in Nigeria, providing legal protection and clear operational guidelines for both parties. The document ensures compliance with Nigerian commercial regulations while establishing a framework for successful business representation.
