Document background
The Exclusivity And Non Circumvention Agreement is essential in business relationships where parties need to protect their interests during negotiations or business dealings under Swiss jurisdiction. It is particularly valuable when introducing parties to business opportunities, protecting finder's fees, or establishing exclusive territorial rights. The document combines both exclusivity provisions (ensuring sole rights in specific contexts) and non-circumvention provisions (preventing parties from bypassing the intermediary or dealing directly with protected contacts). Under Swiss law, this agreement must carefully balance protection of business interests with competition law requirements and constitutional economic freedoms. It typically includes detailed provisions on scope, duration, territory, and specific protected relationships, while ensuring compliance with Swiss federal regulations on contracts and fair competition.
