Common Questions
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.
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 protects me if the 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.
When does the agent earn commission?
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.
