One in a series of ICC model contracts concerned with commercial distribution, the ICC Model Occasional Intermediary Contract provides a unique and balanced legal platform that takes into account the interests of all parties involved in a non-circumvention and non-disclosure agreement. It also minimizes the risks of fraud and misunderstanding.
The occasional intermediary, unlike the agent, undertakes to provide certain services to the parties without any continuing obligation to develop the market. The definition of his rights and obligations has long been absent in the market place. This model contract, therefore, fills an important gap in the series of reliable documents to be used in international, as well as domestic, transactions.
The ICC Model Occasional Intermediary Contract takes its place among other respected ICC model contracts – on commercial agency, distributorship, franchising and sales. These important instruments provide confidence to the parties – and to the market place – that commercial transactions can be conducted according to internationally accepted principles.
