Buy the state where the representative solicits customers — the agreement's governing-law and forum clause names it.
No states match — try a different spelling or two-letter code.
36 jurisdictions set commission payment deadlines by statute — those state kits build the cited act into the agreement and the Instructions & Rider. Everywhere else, the written contract itself sets the rules (Florida repealed its statute in 2011). Each state page shows its specifics.
Two versions of the same state-drafted agreement — same states, same $9.99. The difference is whether the representative indemnifies your business.
The core principal–representative agreement: appointment and territory, the commission schedule and Earning-Event election, payment dates and account statements, term and pipeline rules, and notices. Fits most engagements.
View commission agreementsEverything in the standard version, plus Section 14 — a one-way indemnity running from the representative to the principal, with notice and defense-control mechanics and fault carve-outs — and the gated Exhibit A that extends the indemnity to listed sub-agents.

Commission disputes are memory disputes. A signed agreement fixes the terms before the first sale.
Commission rate, the event that earns a commission, the payment date, and what happens to pipeline orders at termination — pinned in a signed writing instead of argued later from emails and memory.
36 jurisdictions set commission payment deadlines by statute — those kits build the cited act into the agreement and the rider. Everywhere else, the written contract itself sets the rules, which is exactly why it needs to be clear.
Independent-contractor status, authority limits, and confidentiality protect the principal; written payment deadlines, account statements, and the executed-copy receipt protect the representative.
ILRG provides self-help legal forms and download support. PublicLegal employment forms are provided for you to complete with your own business information. Commission payment rights and deadlines vary by state — the Instructions & Rider explains the rules in your state and the clauses this agreement uses to stay within them. If you are not 100 percent satisfied after purchasing from us, contact us for a refund.
Every state kit includes the agreement with the Section 14 indemnity and Exhibit A, and the state Instructions & Rider: the state-drafted agreement in fillable Word (.docx) with a fillable PDF that completes on screen, plus the state Instructions & Rider covering that state's payment-deadline and statement rules, step-by-step completion guidance, and notice templates. A completed sample is available as an optional add-on at checkout. One-time purchase, instant download.
Buy the state where the representative solicits customers. The agreement’s governing-law and exclusive-forum clause names that state, which keeps that state’s sales-representative protections (where they exist) aligned with the contract.
Thirty-six jurisdictions have sales-representative payment statutes; those state kits build the cited act’s payment-deadline, statement, and savings rules into the agreement and explain them in the rider. The remaining states have no such statute — there the written contract itself sets the rules, which is exactly what the agreement is for. Florida repealed its statute in 2011. Your state’s product page and rider show the specifics.
The standard version fits most principal–representative engagements: appointment, commission schedule, payment dates, term, pipeline, and notices. The indemnity version adds Section 14 — a one-way indemnity running from the representative to the principal, with notice and defense-control mechanics and fault carve-outs — plus a gated Exhibit A extending it to listed sub-agents. The comparison page walks through the choice.
No — these agreements document an independent-contractor relationship and say so expressly. Misclassification is a real risk when a worker is treated like an employee on paper-thin facts; every state rider carries the classification warning and notes the rules that apply if a worker is actually an employee.
Yes — the commission agreement kits were attorney-reviewed in September 2026, and where a state has a sales-representative statute the payment provisions follow the act cited in that state’s rider. PublicLegal sells self-help legal forms; the rider is general information, not legal advice for your specific situation.
