About this form
A commission agreement is the written contract between a business (the principal) and an independent sales representative: it appoints the representative for a territory, sets the commission rate and when a commission is earned, fixes the payment date, and answers the questions that otherwise end up in disputes — pipeline orders at termination, expenses, authority limits, and confidentiality.
Pennsylvania's sales-representative act (43 P.S. §§ 1471–1478) requires the written contract to state a specified period of performance — so this Pennsylvania version states a term and does not offer the at-will shortcut other states allow. Schedule A summarizes the act's payment and nonwaiver rules.
This version adds Section 14: a one-way indemnity running from the representative to the principal, with notice, defense-control, and fault carve-outs, plus a gated Exhibit A that extends the indemnity to listed sub-agents when the parties adopt it. The rider explains what the indemnity does and when to use this version.
Your Pennsylvania Instructions & Rider covers the state specifics in plain language: the governing statute (or the absence of one), the payment deadlines, the statement habit that keeps disputes rare, notice templates, and step-by-step completion guidance with a worked example.
Both parties sign; the representative keeps a fully executed copy, and the detachable receipt proves delivery (some states require it — the rider flags them). No notarization is required.
ILRG provides self-help legal forms and download support. PublicLegal employment forms are provided for you to complete with your own business information.

It is the written contract between a business and an independent sales representative: it appoints the representative for a territory, states the commission rate and the event that earns a commission, fixes payment dates and account statements, sets term, termination, and pipeline rules, and limits the representative’s authority (no accepting orders or setting prices in the principal’s name).
Yes — 43 P.S. §§ 1471–1478 requires a written commission contract, and this agreement is built to satisfy it (the rider walks through the statute's specific requirements, including any copy or receipt rules).
43 P.S. §§ 1471–1478 sets payment deadlines for Pennsylvania commissions, including at termination — this agreement's commission and pipeline sections are built around those rules, Schedule A cites them, and the rider explains them in plain language.
Section 14 is a one-way indemnity running from the representative to the principal: the representative covers claims caused by its own unauthorized acts, misrepresentations, or unlawful conduct, with notice and defense-control mechanics and carve-outs for the principal’s own fault. Exhibit A, when the parties adopt it, extends the same indemnity to listed sub-agents so the representative cannot dilute it by subcontracting.
No — the agreement documents an independent-contractor relationship and says so expressly. Misclassification is a real risk when a worker is treated like an employee on paper-thin facts; the Pennsylvania rider carries the classification warning and the rules that follow if a worker is actually an employee.
Buy the state where the representative solicits customers. The agreement’s governing-law and exclusive-forum clause names that state, which keeps the sales-representative protections of that state’s statute (where one exists) aligned with the contract.
