The law
The fiduciary duties created by a contract of agency are principles of loyalty, obedience, disclosure, confidentiality, and care. These duties require the agent to act in the best interests of the principal, follow their instructions, provide all relevant information, keep the principal's information confidential, and act with reasonable care and diligence. Violating these duties can result in legal consequences for the agent.

It provides clarity on key aspects of the employment arrangement and helps prevent misunderstandings or disputes.
