Which clauses are permitted in an exclusive Representation Agreement?

In an Exclusive Representation Agreement, the inclusion of a clause that requires the client to pay all expenses is permitted because it clearly outlines the financial responsibilities of the client. This ensures that both the agent and the client have a shared understanding of the costs involved in the representation, which might include travel expenses, legal fees, or other costs associated with securing opportunities for the client.

Such clauses help define the nature of the professional relationship and establish the expectations for financial commitments. It's common in such agreements to specify that the client is responsible for covering their own expenses, thereby protecting the agent from unexpected costs that could arise during the course of their representation activities.

In contrast, other concepts like service fee payments or self-representation payments have specific guidelines and conditions that might not be universally accepted in all types of representation agreements, depending on the regulations set by FIFA and the relevant national football associations. Detailing the services provided by the agent is often included but would generally fall under the description instead of being framed as a financial responsibility.
