Exclusive Dealing
"Are exclusive dealing arrangements legal under Turkish competition law?"
Quick Answer
Exclusive dealing is permitted if market share is below thresholds. Block exemption regulations provide safe harbors for vertical agreements meeting specific criteria.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Exclusivity can restrict suppliers, buyers or territories in different ways. Duration, market position and the actual restriction matter when assessing competition-law compatibility.
What to Check in Practice
Review purchasing obligations, non-compete terms, resale controls and termination effects; do not assume an exclusivity clause is valid merely because both sides signed.
