Document background
The Revenue Share Partnership Agreement is a crucial document for businesses entering into collaborative arrangements where revenues are to be shared between partners. This agreement type is particularly relevant under German law, where it must comply with specific requirements of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Civil Code (BGB). It is commonly used when companies wish to combine their resources, expertise, or market access while sharing the resulting revenue stream rather than forming a traditional joint venture. The document typically includes detailed mechanisms for revenue calculation, distribution procedures, reporting requirements, and audit rights. It's essential for businesses engaging in platform economies, digital partnerships, distribution arrangements, or any business model where revenue sharing is a key component of the collaboration. The agreement should be carefully structured to ensure compliance with German partnership law, tax regulations, and if applicable, EU-wide requirements.
