umowa akwizycji = agency contract ?

[Gość: sisi]

Could you tell me if there is any different term for a contract between
a 'canvassing' (or soliciting) company and a vendor?

Definitely not "agency contract", which is "umowa
agencji". Isn't "solicitiation contract" good enough ?

Is the solicitation contract a common term?
I've only seen agency agreements and contracts whose objective was to solicit
orders for a manufacturer/vendor.

i'm sure you know that, but there's a difference between solicitation and agency (~ not every agency is solicitation). If you're translating from polish, this should be preserved, i think.(?) However, it seems to me, you are refering to solicitation in business relations; if that's the case, "agency contract" will be just fine.

I don't know about the native speakers, but to me the term `solicit` makes me
think of hookers ;-)

Would Procurement Contract (Agreement) make sense? Worried, that like
solociting, it might carry some illicit sex connotation. Maybe?

Agency Agreement

[Gość: Bert]

The Agency Agreement is the general term if you mean the
agreement between the principal and the agent.
It does not state explicitly how the principal
compensates the agent.
To be more specific, the "sales representative" implies
that the agent is compensated, at least in part, by
commission - hence the Principal-Sales Representative
Agreement.
It is usually understood that the sales representatives
do not place orders for their own account for resale and
they are not employees of the principal. (Solicit advice
on this from the local lawyer)
May I suggest you write up an agreement rather than a
contract? It might help the deal go through...

Thank you all. Now that's what I call a choice ;-)
