Contract requiring a buyer to purchase goods exclusively from one seller.

Added: January 1, 2026
Applicable: US, EU, UK

Detailed Explanation

An Exclusive Dealing Agreement is a contract where a buyer agrees to purchase all or a substantial portion of their requirements for a specific product from a single seller. In exchange, the seller may offer better pricing or priority supply. These agreements can raise antitrust concerns if they substantially lessen competition in a market.
