Have you an agency agreement in writing with your principal (i.e.:- a formal written document, signed by both parties)? If so, are you aware of the practical meaning and effect of its terms?
Do you know if you have agreed in any such written agreement to compensation or instead to an indemnity, as a prospective entitlement as a result of the termination of the agency relationship?
Have you agreed to any valid post termination restrictive covenant?
Do you know which country’s laws govern the agreement?
Did you in fact take specialist advice before you signed the agreement and so as to then have the relevant expert assistance to ensure the exclusion of particularly disadvantageous provisions, or so as to ensure amendments were made which significantly watered down or neutralised otherwise ‘bad’ clauses from your point of view?
BE EMPOWERED, TAKE ADVICE.
