What is a Marketing Agreement?
A Marketing Agreement is a legal contract that defines the relationship between two parties - a business and a party providing marketing services. A Marketing Agreement defines what services will be provided, what products are to be marketed, how much these services will cost, who owns the intellectual property used in the marketing, how they will use and share data, the liabilities of the parties for the products and the services and much more.
