This Agency Agreement is a legal document for the appointment of an agent in Australia for the sale of goods on behalf of the principal. An agency relationship exists where one person, the agent, has authority or capacity to create legal relations between another person, the principal, and third parties such as a sales contract.

The relationship between agent and principal is different from that of employer and employee. It is important to clearly communcate the powers the agent has and any limitations on those powers. The agent can bind the principal depending on the scope of the powers. This agreement is not suitable for Real-Estate agents.

• You wish to have an agent sell goods for you.
