Exclusivity is a common denominator in business agreements. Organizations want to stay ahead of their competitors and use the commercial advantage of having an exclusivity agreement with their suppliers, vendors, or suppliers. It prohibits the signing parties from transacting business with anyone besides the drafting party throughout the contract term. Exclusiveness may be the subject of a separate contract or merely a provision in a larger one. In either case, breaking it can result in costly fines and other legal repercussions. This restrictive nature of the exclusivity contract often receives intense scrutiny under competition law.  Exclusivity provisions may seem counterproductive to the government’s need to uphold customer satisfaction and marketplace competitiveness.
