Standard delivery is 3 business days after you complete the AI questionnaire.

1. After checkout, we email you a short AI-powered questionnaire
2. The questionnaire captures your agency scope, commission model, territory, and key terms
3. An Australian lawyer drafts your agreement based on your responses
4. You receive the draft for review within 3 business days
5. One round of amendments is included in the price

Express delivery (1 business day) is available for an additional fee.

Question 3

Who drafts the agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your Agency Agreement is drafted by licensed Australian lawyers with experience in commercial contracts and agency law.

Our solicitors understand:
• Australian consumer law and competition requirements
• Agent protection regulations
• Commission structures and payment terms
• Territory and exclusivity clauses
• Industry-specific agency arrangements

You're getting professional legal work, not a template.

Question 4

How does the AI questionnaire work?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we email you an AI-powered questionnaire that asks about:

• Products or services to be sold by the agent
• Commission structure (percentage, fixed fee, tiered, etc.)
• Territory and exclusivity arrangements
• Agent duties and authority limitations
• Target customers and sales channels
• Performance expectations
• Termination triggers and notice periods

The questionnaire adapts based on your answers. It typically takes 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses help our lawyers draft an agreement perfectly suited to your agency relationship.

Question 5

Can this cover different commission structures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can draft agreements with:

• Percentage-based commissions on sales
• Fixed fees per transaction
• Tiered structures based on volume
• Performance bonuses and incentives
• Mixed commission models
• Commission tails for ongoing business
• Clawback provisions for returns/cancellations

We'll structure the commission terms clearly so both parties understand calculations, payment timing, and reporting requirements.

Question 6

What revisions are included?

Accepted Answer

One round of amendments is included in the base price.

This means:
• You can request changes to any section
• We'll revise the agreement based on your feedback
• The amendments are handled by the same lawyer who drafted the original
• Turnaround time is typically 1-2 business days

If you need additional revision rounds, we can provide a quote. Most clients find one round sufficient.

Question 7

Can I schedule a call with the lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While the agreement is drafted based on the questionnaire, you can add a 30-minute solicitor consultation for an additional fee.

A consultation is useful if you:
• Want to discuss complex commission structures
• Need advice on enforceability of restraints
• Have questions about termination provisions
• Want guidance on agency vs distributor arrangements
• Need help understanding your obligations

The consultation can be scheduled at any point during the drafting process.

Question 8

Does it include post-termination restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We include appropriate post-termination provisions such as:

• Commission tail provisions (you still get paid for business introduced before termination)
• Return of principal's property and materials
• Return or destruction of confidential information
• Non-solicitation of customers introduced during the agency
• Restraints on competing activities (where reasonable and enforceable)
• Final accounting and payment obligations

These provisions are drafted to be reasonable and enforceable under Australian law.

Question 9

What makes this different from a template?

Accepted Answer

Templates are generic. Your agreement is custom-drafted by a lawyer.

Key differences:
• Tailored to your specific commission model
• Reflects your territory and exclusivity needs
• Includes clauses relevant to your industry
• Drafted by a lawyer who understands your arrangement
• Professionally worded and legally enforceable
• Includes appropriate restraints for your situation

You're not filling in blanks – you're getting a bespoke agreement drafted for your agency relationship.

Question 10

Does it cover IP and confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your agreement will include:

• Ownership of customer lists and data
• Use of principal's trademarks and branding
• Marketing materials and advertising guidelines
• Confidentiality obligations during and after the agency
• Protection of trade secrets and business information
• Restrictions on use of confidential information
• Ownership of goodwill in the territory

We ensure both parties understand who owns what, especially if the relationship ends.

Question 11

Is it compliant with Australian law?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your agreement is drafted to comply with:

• Australian Consumer Law
• Competition and Consumer Act 2010
• Agent protection regulations
• Contract law requirements
• Tax and GST considerations
• Industry-specific regulations where applicable

Our lawyers stay current with commercial contract law and ensure your agreement is enforceable and compliant.

Question 12

What if we need to amend the agreement later?

Accepted Answer

Business relationships evolve. If you need amendments after the agreement is finalized:

• You can commission a variation or amendment agreement
• We can update commission structures or territory
• We can add new products or services
• We can extend or reduce the term

We charge separately for post-delivery amendments, but we'll provide a quote before proceeding. Many amendments are straightforward and quick.

Question 13

What happens after I receive the agreement?

Accepted Answer

Once you approve the final version:

1. We deliver the agreement as a Word document and PDF
2. Both parties should review and sign the agreement
3. Each party keeps a signed copy
4. The agreement takes effect on the commencement date specified
5. Both parties are bound by the terms

We recommend both parties get independent legal advice before signing, especially if it's a long-term or high-value arrangement. If either party wants a lawyer to review it, we can answer questions from their lawyer.
