Business/Commerce (general) / Contrato de comisionista
Spanish term or phrase: contrato de comisión mercantil
El contrato contiene una denominación inadecuada (de "comisionista") que no encaja con el contrato de comisión mercantil del derecho español, dado el carácter duradero de la relación entre las partes, incompatible con la comisión.

commission-only contract


Explanation:
This is a common type of contract in Spain whereby an company only pays an individual for commission on sales - no social security, holidays, taxes. However, these contracts are probably illegal if the individual is also expected to behave like an employee.

commercial agency agreement


Explanation:
(or) comercial-code agency agreement (or) agency agreement governed by the commercial code

(A similar discussion came up in a previous Kudoz question: )

In Spanish law the "contrato de comisión" is the Commercial Code counterpart to the Civil Code "contrato de mandato". Depending on the context, both of these can usually be rendered as "agency agreements" in English. Thus:

mandante; principal; comitente = "principal" in English
mandatario; gestor; agente; comisionista = "agent" in English

To distinguish one from the other, the "contrato de comisión" might be translated as "commercial agency agreement" or something similar depending on the type of transaction.

Here is a definition from the "Diccionario de Derecho" Barcelona: Editorial Bosch, 1995:

COMISIÓN-Es el contrato mercantil que corresponde al mandato en el ámbito civil. En virtud del mismo, una persona (comitente) encarga a otra (comisionista) la gestión de los intereses del primero, con o sin poder de representación. Para que esta relación jurídica, idéntica a la del mandato, sea mercantil es preciso que el objeto de la gestión encargada sea un acto u operación de comercio; pero también es preciso que sea comerciante el comitente y/o el comisionista, y que se pacte una retribución para este último. Aunque el contenido de la gestión, que también se denomina comisión, puede ser muy variado, el contrato de comisión se aplica especialmente al de compraventa y al de transporte.

A "comitente" is the principal in a commercial agency relationship who commissions an agent (called "comisionista") to carry out some business transation on his behalf. Here is an additional definition of "comitente":

"COMITENTE--Persona por cuya cuenta e interés realiza el encargo el comisionista. Salvo pacto en contrario, el comitente ha de abonar al comisionista la retribución acordada. Asimismo, el comitente debe reembolsar al comisionista el importe de todos los gastos y desembolsos efectuados. Por otra parte, al comitente le compete la carga de realizar la oportuna provisión de fondos en favor del comisionista, cuando la ejecución de la comisión así lo exija. El comisionista no se encuentra legitimado para exigir dicha provisión, pero en caso de no llevarse a término, se encuentra autorizado para no desempeñar la comisión."

("Diccionario Jurídico" Navarra: Thomson-Aranzadi, 3rd ed., 2004)
