This agreement is designed to meet the requirements set forth by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 20 Part Test, which determines the independent contractor status of the representative. Types of Illinois Independent Sales Representative Agreements with Provisions Intended to Satisfy the IRS 20 Part Test: 1. Non-Exclusive Independent Sales Representative Agreement: This type of agreement allows the sales representative to promote and sell the software developed by the company on a non-exclusive basis within the specified territory. The agreement outlines the commission structure, responsibilities, and expectations of the independent sales representative. 2. Exclusive Independent Sales Representative Agreement: In an exclusive agreement, the sales representative is granted exclusive rights to sell the computer software within a specific territory or market segment in Illinois. This agreement provides the representative with increased responsibilities and potentially higher compensation due to the exclusivity granted. Key Provisions: 1. Independent Contractor Status: The agreement highlights the intention of both parties to establish an independent contractor relationship, as defined by the 20 Part Test established by the IRS. It specifies that the sales representative will not be treated as an employee for federal tax purposes and will be responsible for their own taxes and benefits. 2. Territory and Scope of Work: The agreement clearly defines the specific territory or market segment where the sales representative is authorized to promote and sell the computer software. It also outlines any limitations or restrictions imposed regarding direct sales, online sales, or sales through other channels. 3. Sales Targets and Commissions: The agreement establishes the expected sales targets to be achieved by the independent sales representative within a set timeframe. It also outlines the commission structure, specifying the percentage or amount of commission the representative will receive for each successful sale made. 4. Intellectual Property Rights: To protect the developer's intellectual property, the agreement should include provisions that confirm that the sales representative does not gain any ownership or rights to the software. It should also state that the representative cannot modify, reproduce, or distribute the software beyond the scope outlined in the agreement. 5. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure: To safeguard sensitive information, the agreement should include confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions. This ensures that the sales representative will keep all proprietary information, trade secrets, and customer data confidential, even after the termination of the agreement. 6. Termination and Dispute Resolution: The agreement should define the conditions under which either party may terminate the agreement. It should also include provisions for dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration, to handle any conflicts that may arise during the course of the relationship. Conclusion: Illinois Independent Sales Representative Agreements with provisions satisfying the IRS's 20 Part Test aim to establish a clear and mutually beneficial relationship between a developer of computer software and an independent sales representative. By addressing key elements such as independent contractor status, territory, sales targets, commissions, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and dispute resolution, these agreements provide a framework for a successful business partnership while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
