Common Questions
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.
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 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.
