A translation of that article reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018The agency agreement is an agreement whereby one party, the principal, instructs the other party, the commercial agent, who undertakes, for a definite or indefinite period of time and for a consideration, to act as an intermediary in the formation of contracts, and, where necessary, to conclude these in the name of and for the account of the principal without being subordinate to the latter.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In short, it concerns an agreement pursuant to which the agent, for a consideration, acts as an intermediary for the principal\/supplier in the formation of contracts between the principal\/supplier and third parties. This &#8216;third party&#8217; as a rule is a customer\/buyer on the sales side, but a principal can also work with agents on the purchasing side, for example when selecting and contracting the manufacturers that produce the principal&#8217;s products.<\/p>\n<p>Different parts of the definition of an agency agreement are discussed below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n                            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-content-container\">\n                            \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-title-text-container hide-divider\">\n                                \t<h2 class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-title-text-title\">Intermediary activities<\/h2>\n                                \t<div class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-title-text-content\"><p>The agent provides the principal with orders or concludes contracts in the name of and on behalf of the principal. The agent himself does not become a party to the contract he negotiates.<\/p>\n<p>For example: in the case of acting as an intermediary regarding purchase agreements, a purchase agreement is formed between the principal and the buyer introduced to the principal by the agent. The agent is not a party to that purchase agreement. The agent is a party to the agency agreement with the principal only. The agent&#8217;s contacts with the buyer merely serve to give effect to the principal\u2019s instructions to negotiate a contract for the latter. In that capacity, the agent will not have a monetary claim against the customer under the agreement he has negotiated. All that he will be entitled to is a claim against the principal for payment for the activities performed by the agent (usually referred to as a commission or a fee).<\/p>\n<p>In these legal relationships between supplier, agent and customer lies the characteristic difference between the agency agreement on the one hand and a distribution agreement on the other. In the case of distribution, the distributor purchases the products from the supplier for his own account and risk. Thus, a purchase agreement is formed between the supplier (as the seller) and the distributor (as the buyer). A separate purchase agreement is subsequently formed between the distributor (as the seller) and his customer (as the buyer). The supplier in that case does not become a party to the agreement between the distributor and his customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n                            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-content-container\">\n                            \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-title-text-container hide-divider\">\n                                \t<h2 class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-title-text-title\">Negotiated agreement<\/h2>\n                                \t<div class=\"page-lxa-agentuur-franchise-general-title-text-content\"><p>In practice, an agent often acts as an intermediary with respect to sales agreements.
