About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal appointment of an independent contractor to act as a sales representative for IT products. It contains specific tiered commission thresholds in Rupees and a three-year post-termination non-compete clause. It is not an employment contract, as the Agent is expressly defined as an independent contractor.
When should you use it?
Use this document when hiring an individual or entity to expand computer hardware sales into specific geographical territories on a commission-only basis. If the representative is to be a full-time employee with a base salary, use an Employment Agreement instead.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Appointment and Term | Appoints the Agent for a period of three years to sell computers and software within specified territories. |
| 2 | Agent's Duties | Obliges the Agent to promote sales, maintain separate account books, and refrain from selling competing goods without consent. |
| 6 | Non-compete Covenant | Prohibits the Agent from acting as a selling agent for akin computer goods for three years after termination. |
| 8 | Company's Rights | Reserves the Company's right to decline orders at its absolute discretion and sell products directly within the territories. |
| 10 | Commission and Payment | Sets a tiered commission percentage based on invoice prices and requires accounts to be furnished periodically. |
| 13 | Termination | Permits the Company to terminate the agreement immediately if the Agent is restrained from duties for a specified number of months. |
Who it's for
- an Indian company appointing an independent contractor to handle sales of IT equipment in specific states
- a computer hardware manufacturer requiring a non-compete restriction after an agency relationship ends
- a software vendor setting up tiered commission structures for an external sales representative

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
