2. Types of Agents
There are mainly two types of agents: general agents and sole or exclusive agents. A general agent may be a firm or a person who acts under instructions from his principal to sell or buy on the best terms obtainable. He charges a commission for his services under certain agreement or contract. A sole agent may be a firm or a person who acts for his foreign principal with exclusive agent rights to sell in a certain area on a commission basis certain commodities supplied by the principal under some agreement. The sole agent will not sell other goods that compete with the principal’s, and for a general agency there is no such undertaking.
