How Does Non-Renewal Work if the Agreement is Silent About Duration?
In some cases, a sales representative agreement will be silent about its duration or expiration date. This occurs most often when there is only a “verbal” or “handshake” deal. In these cases, the Act provides that a sales representative agreement of indefinite duration shall be treated as if it were for a definite duration expiring 180 days after the giving of written notice of intention not to continue the agreement.
