The Insurance Agent Agreement is a fundamental document used to establish a formal business relationship between insurance companies and their appointed agents in Denmark. This agreement is essential when an insurance company wishes to expand its distribution network through authorized agents who will sell and promote their insurance products. The document must comply with the Danish Insurance Mediation Act, the Danish Financial Business Act, and relevant EU regulations, particularly the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD). It includes detailed provisions on regulatory compliance, commission structures, operational procedures, data protection requirements, and professional standards. The agreement is particularly important in the current regulatory environment where insurance distribution is heavily regulated and requires clear documentation of responsibilities, obligations, and compliance requirements.
