ERA developed a contract format that is easily usable by both manufacturers and manufacturers’ representatives. Through this specimen, ERA provides a basic contract form with alternatives in various parts of the agreement to meet the particular or specific needs of a manufacturer and a representative. This form contract is not a one-size-fits-all approach expressly because one size does not fit all. The form should be used as a starting point in negotiations in close consultation with your attorney to find the best approach to govern your own principal-rep relationship.
