Question 2

How quickly will I receive my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is 3 business days after we receive your questionnaire responses. If you select Express Delivery, you'll receive your agreement within 1 business day. After checkout, we'll send you a detailed AI-powered questionnaire to capture all the specifics about your agency relationship, commission structure, territory, and other key terms.

Question 3

Who drafts my Agency Agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement is drafted by licensed Canadian lawyers with extensive experience in commercial contracts and agency relationships. Our legal team has handled hundreds of agency agreements across various industries, ensuring your document is professionally drafted and legally sound.

Question 4

How do you gather the information needed?

Accepted Answer

After you complete your order, we'll email you an AI-powered questionnaire that guides you through all the essential details. The questionnaire covers:

• Nature of the agency relationship
• Scope of services and authority
• Territory and exclusivity requirements
• Commission structure (percentage, tiered, milestone-based)
• Payment terms and reporting requirements
• Intellectual property ownership
• Confidentiality needs
• Termination provisions

The questionnaire is intelligent and adapts based on your answers, ensuring we capture everything needed without overwhelming you with unnecessary questions.

Question 5

Are revisions included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one round of amendments is included in the base price. If you need changes after reviewing the initial draft, simply let us know what adjustments are needed and we'll revise the agreement accordingly. Additional revision rounds are available for an extra fee if needed.

Question 6

Can I speak with a solicitor about my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While the questionnaire captures most details, you can schedule an optional consultation with one of our lawyers if you have complex questions or want to discuss specific clauses. This ensures you fully understand every provision and can make informed decisions about your agreement.

Question 7

What makes this different from online templates?

Accepted Answer

Generic templates are one-size-fits-all and often don't reflect Canadian law or your specific business needs. Our custom Agency Agreements are:

• Drafted by licensed Canadian lawyers
• Tailored to your exact requirements and industry
• Compliant with current Canadian commercial law
• Written in clear, modern language (not archaic legalese)
• Include provisions specific to your commission structure
• Adaptable to your territory and exclusivity needs
• Professionally reviewed before delivery

You get a lawyer-quality agreement without the lawyer-sized bill.

Question 8

Can you handle tiered commissions and clawbacks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can structure various commission models including:

• Percentage-based commissions
• Tiered or milestone-based structures
• Minimum guarantees and advances
• Clawback mechanics for returns or cancellations
• Draw against commission arrangements
• Payment timing and reconciliation procedures

Just provide the details in your questionnaire and we'll draft the appropriate provisions to match your compensation model.

Question 9

How do you handle territory and exclusivity?

Accepted Answer

We can draft exclusive, non-exclusive, or sole agency arrangements with clearly defined territories. This includes:

• Geographic boundaries (province, region, postal codes, etc.)
• Exclusivity scope and any carve-outs
• House accounts or key customer exceptions
• Overlap protections and conflict resolution
• Territory expansion or reduction provisions
• Multi-territory arrangements

Your agreement will clearly define who can sell what, where, and under what circumstances.

Question 10

Is the agreement compliant with Canadian law?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All agreements are drafted in accordance with Canadian commercial law, including relevant provincial legislation. Our lawyers ensure compliance with:

• Provincial commercial agency laws
• Federal privacy and data protection requirements
• Anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws
• Intellectual property protections
• Employment vs. independent contractor distinctions
• Termination notice requirements

Your agreement will be legally enforceable and protect both parties' interests.

Question 11

What if I need to amend the agreement later?

Accepted Answer

The agreement will include an amendment provision that allows both parties to modify terms by written consent. If you need help drafting amendments in the future, you can return to us for amendment services. We'll have your original agreement on file and can quickly draft the necessary changes.

Question 12

What happens after I receive my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Once you receive your agreement, review it carefully with your agent (or have them review it with their counsel if needed). When both parties are satisfied:

• Execute the agreement with proper signatures
• Retain copies for your records
• Follow the provisions regarding notices, reporting, and payment
• Contact us if you need clarification on any clause

We're here to support you even after delivery if questions arise about implementation or interpretation.
