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.
Tennessee protects independent sales representatives by statute — Tenn. Code § 47-50-114. This agreement's payment deadlines, account statements, and statutory-rights savings clause are built around that act, and Schedule A cites it so both parties can see the rules the contract works within.
Your Tennessee 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.

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).
Tennessee's act (Tenn. Code § 47-50-114) does not itself require a written contract, but its payment-deadline and remedy rules apply to the relationship — and a signed writing is what fixes the commission terms so those deadlines can be enforced. The rider explains.
Tenn. Code § 47-50-114 sets payment deadlines for Tennessee 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.
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 Tennessee 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.
