Scope
Define precise promotional activities, eligible products or services, geographic limits, and channels (online, in-store, social media). Ambiguity in scope is the most common source of disputes.
A clear agreement reduces disputes, defines measurable deliverables, and documents payment and refund terms. It provides evidence of consent and allocation of rights, which supports enforcement if a party fails to perform. Including compliance and consumer-disclosure language helps manage regulatory risk under advertising and consumer-protection rules.
Organizations and individuals use this agreement whenever a paid or incentive-based campaign runs during a spring festival period and involves third-party promotion or consumer offers.
Choosing the correct signatory and attachments ensures the agreement reflects the commercial relationship and satisfies regulatory, tax, and payment requirements.
A senior in-house marketing director who approves spend, campaign goals, and compliance provisions. They should confirm deliverables, KPIs, budget limits, and sign if the brand has delegated authority.
An account or project lead at the marketing agency responsible for operational delivery, vendor subcontracts, and reporting. The agency lead typically signs operational obligations and indemnities on behalf of the agency.
Define precise promotional activities, eligible products or services, geographic limits, and channels (online, in-store, social media). Ambiguity in scope is the most common source of disputes.

State fee structure, invoicing schedule, late-payment interest, and reimbursement for expenses. Clarify payment triggers tied to milestones or performance metrics.
