Common Questions
What protects me if a China sales agent tries to take my customers after the agreement ends?
The agreement includes a post-term confidentiality obligation covering customer lists and business contacts. Under PRC law, this is framed as confidentiality (not non-compete), which does not require economic compensation and is more reliably enforceable in China.
How is a sales agent different from a distributor?
A distributor buys your goods and resells them, taking inventory risk and setting their own prices. A sales agent acts on your behalf, and the contract is between you and the end customer. You control pricing and keep the customer relationship.
What is a China Sales Agency Agreement?
A China Sales Agency Agreement appoints an agent to sell your products or services on your behalf in exchange for a commission. It defines the agent's territory, commission rate, payment triggers, and the boundaries of their authority. Critically, it keeps your customers and IP under your control.
When does commission trigger under a China sales agent agreement?
The template includes a procuring-cause rule. The agent earns commission only on sales they originated or materially influenced. It also defines clear payment triggers: typically when the customer pays you, not just when the order is placed.
How do I appoint a sales agent in China and protect my customers?
The agreement specifies that customers contract directly with you, not the agent, preserving your customer relationships and preventing the agent from building a competing book of business.
What happens to commission on pending deals when I terminate a China sales agent?
The agreement includes a commission tail provision covering deals in progress at the time of termination, with clear terms for how pending transactions are handled.
