The significance of legal protection for intermediaries is also underscored
International commerce relies heavily on intermediaries to facilitate transactions between suppliers and buyers. These intermediaries, namely brokers, agents, and consultants, play a significant role in bridging the gaps between parties and ensuring the seamless execution of trade agreements. Nevertheless, during international transactions, intermediaries may encounter various risks, including financial, legal, and operational challenges. In this case, intermediaries are able to implement various strategies and practices in order to ensure their protection.
- Addendum agreement:
The agreement should clearly define each party’s roles and responsibilities, including the intermediary’s specific duties, compensation terms, and payment conditions. A comprehensive agreement facilitates the prevention of misunderstandings and establishes a legal framework for enforcing terms. This agreement must be annexed to the principal transaction contract.
Irrevocable Master Fees Protection Agreement ( IMFPA) :
The IMFPA is a comprehensive agreement that specifies the terms of engagement, and safeguards for all parties involved in international transactions. It outlines safeguards for all parties involved in international transactions. The ICC provides a detailed contractual framework that defines the intermediaries role in facilitating trade between suppliers and buyers. The agreement specifies how intermediaries will be compensated for their services, encompassing comprehensive provisions on commission rates, payment schedules, and the handling of any financial adjustments. This clarity aids in safeguarding the financial interests of the intermediaries by formalizing the terms of compensation and minimizing the likelihood of disputes regarding payment.
- Payment security measures:
The implementation of secure payment methods, such as letters of credit, escrow accounts, or bank guarantees, can protect intermediaries from non-payment or delayed payment. These financial instruments guarantee that the funds are safeguarded and disbursed in accordance with the specified terms. And, like the arbitration clause, such payment must be stipulated in the main contract as a clause in order to derive its mandatory legal value.
- Disputes resolution clauses :
Inclusion of detailed dispute resolution mechanisms in the principal contract can protect the intermediaries as well by specifying the procedures for handling disputes such as arbitration or mediation, and outlining how conflicts will be resolved. This provides a clear path for addressing issues and ensures that intermediaries have recourse.
