When not to use this contract?

In the event that one of the parties is a specialist dedicated exclusively to the search for clients as a seller, the signing of a commercial commission contract could be more convenient.

On the other hand, if it is intended to agree on the provision of any type of service other than that established, it will be necessary to draw up the corresponding contract for the provision of services.

Finally, if the parties have the sole purpose of regulating the negotiation for the signing of a future agreement or contract, they may agree to draw up a letter of intent.
