Document Templates

With the complexity involved in hydrocarbon trading it is essential that all legal documentation be checked by a professional with extensive knowledge and experience in the structure and details.

1. Confidentiality & Non circumvention

2. Occasional Intermediary Contract (or Fee protection agreement)

3. Supply Contract

 

Confidentiality & Non circumvention

In recent times a growing number of documents called “Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure Agreements”, “NC&ND Agreements”, “Commission Protection Guarantee”, or similar names, have been circulating among business firms engaged in international trade. Such agreements mainly cover situations where an occasional intermediary, who undertakes to provide certain services (e.g., communication of potential customers’ names, promotion of business), desires to be protected against the risk of being “circumvented” by the other party (and, consequently, not being paid for his services). The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) drafted a “Model Occasional Intermediary Contract – Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure Agreement”. In the past, Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure Agreements have sometimes been erroneously named as ICC models (e.g., “ICC Covenant for Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure”, “ICC Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure Agreement” or “ICC NCND”) and in certain cases reference has been made to non-existent ICC rules said to govern such an agreement (e.g., “ICC non-circumvention and non-disclosure rules”, “ICC 400 rules”, “International Chamber of Commerce Convention”). After the new ICC Model Occasional Intermediary Contract (Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure Agreement) came into force, any reference to ICC rules governing this type of contract are to be considered as a reference to the “ICC General Conditions for Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure Agreements” which form part of the contracts referred to herein.
