Independent Agent Agreement

"I need an Independent Agent Agreement for appointing a sales representative in Kuala Lumpur to sell our software products, with a 15% commission structure and quarterly performance targets, starting from March 2025."

Document background
This Independent Agent Agreement is designed for use in the Malaysian business context where a company (principal) wishes to engage an independent representative to promote, sell, or distribute their products or services without creating an employer-employee relationship. The document addresses key aspects required under Malaysian law, including agency scope, territorial rights, commission structures, and compliance requirements. It is particularly relevant in situations where businesses seek to expand their market presence through external representatives while maintaining clear operational boundaries and risk management frameworks. The agreement ensures compliance with Malaysian commercial law while providing flexibility for various business models and industry-specific requirements.
