What is a commercial contract?
A commercial contract is an agreement between parties on a commercial issue. Sometimes they are referred to as business to business agreements to distinguish them from consumer contracts with a client.
What is a joint venture agreement?
A joint venture is a business arrangement where parties make an agreement to pool all of their resources to achieve a specific goal. The goal can be a task, a new project, or any form of business activity. While a joint venture is similar to a partnership, it holds no legal standing, and the venture itself is completely separate from the party’s other businesses.
What is a license agreement?
A licensing agreement is a contract between two parties (the licensor and licensee) in which the licensor grants the licensee the right to use the brand name, trademark, patented technology, or ability to produce and sell goods owned by the licensor.
What is a franchise agreement?
A franchise agreement is an agreement where the franchisor (business) consents to grant the franchisor’s name or franchisor’s systems to the franchisee (individual or entity). For example in exchange for a fee, a business will have the right to use select trademarks of an already-known entity, greatly reducing the businesses efforts to raise brand recognition. A franchise may also provide marketing material, operations handbooks, gprovising processes that have already been proven in the marketplace.
What is a supply and purchase agreement?
This is an agreement by which a seller promises to supply all of the specified goods or services that a buyer needs over a certain time and at a fixed price. The buyer agrees to purchase such goods or services exclusively from the seller during that time. The supply contract protects the rights of both parties.
What is an agency and distribution agreement?
When a business wishes to enter new markets, the provision of an agency or distribution may be the most efficient way for a business to succeed. An agency agreement will be set up to find customers in new markets for a business. In a distribution agreement, the business will sell its products to a distributor and then sell them to new customers in a new market area.
What is an IP licensing agreement?
An IP license agreement is an agreement between a company and its clients for use of the software the company has the rights to. It allows clients to use the software owned by the company detailing the rights they have to use such.
What is an e-commerce agreement?
An eCommerce agreement sets out the contractual relationship and obligations between a website owner and its commercial users. Electronic commerce agreements include terms for the various activities to be performed via internet commerce transactions. These agreements provide a business with protections regarding third party services and transactions as well as limit liabilities.
