Commission Agreement Review

AI review of sales commission contracts to catch clawback traps, payment timing issues, and territory disputes.

What is a Commission Agreement?

A commission agreement defines how a salesperson or agent earns compensation based on sales or deals they close. These agreements frequently contain clawback provisions that require you to return commissions if a client cancels within a certain period, vague territory definitions that lead to disputes over who sourced a deal, and payment timing terms that delay your commission for months after the sale closes.

Inkvex reviews commission agreements for calculation clarity, clawback conditions, territory definitions, payment timing, and termination effects on earned commissions. We flag terms that could cost you money you have already earned.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Clawback period exceeding 90 days after a deal closes
  • Commission calculated on net revenue rather than gross (allows expense deductions)
  • No definition of when a commission is 'earned' vs. 'paid'
  • Territory overlap with other reps, leading to split commission disputes
  • Forfeiture of unpaid commissions upon termination (may be illegal in some states)
  • Employer can change commission rates retroactively or with minimal notice
