What is an Exclusivity Agreement?
With an Exclusivity Agreement, the buyer agrees not to obtain or solicit the seller's goods from anybody else for the length of the agreement. An Exclusivity Agreement can help create a competitive advantage for a seller by restricting who else can receive those services, as this exclusivity contract is typically used in a vertical buyer/seller relationship, in which a buyer agrees to buy exclusively from the seller.
When to use an Exclusivity Agreement:
- You're going to be the exclusive provider of goods or services to a business.
- Someone has agreed to provide exclusive services or products to your business.
- You want to create a competitive advantage by limiting who your business partners work with.
