What is a sponsorship agreement?

A sponsorship agreement is a legally binding document that describes the relationship between a sponsor and a recipient, where the sponsor provides financial support or other resources in exchange for benefits, such as advertising or brand exposure. This template helps you formalize sponsorship agreements in a way that both protects your rights and makes clear what obligations both parties have.

Template content and functions

Our sponsorship template in Word, PDF and Excel formats is comprehensive and customizable. It contains all the necessary sections to create a complete sponsorship agreement that is legally correct. The template is designed to be easy to complete, and comes with clear instructions to ensure you include all the necessary details.

1. Parties to the Agreement

It is important to clearly specify who the parties to the agreement are. In the template, you will find a section where you can easily fill in the sponsor's and recipient's names, addresses, contact information and other basic information.

2. Description of Sponsorship

This section specifies the type of sponsorship provided, either in the form of financial support or goods and services. It also specifies what the recipient undertakes to give back, such as logo placement, mentions in marketing materials or exclusive rights at events.

3. Payment terms

The payment structure is clearly formulated and can be easily adjusted after each sponsorship. If payment is made in installments, the due date for each payment is indicated. There is also room to specify the payment method, such as bank transfer, credit card or another method.

4. Duration and Termination

The contract period is an important part of every sponsorship agreement. The template provides space to enter the start and end dates of the sponsorship as well as the conditions for termination. It is also important to specify what happens if one party wants to terminate the contract before the original end date.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property rights, such as the use of logos and trademarks, are a central part of most sponsorship agreements. The template contains a section that clearly regulates how and under what circumstances the parties may use each other's trademarks and logos. This protects the rights of both parties and ensures that no trademarks are used inappropriately.

6. Limitation of liability and dispute resolution

To protect both parties from unforeseen problems, it is important to include a liability limitation clause. The template contains such a clause as well as a section on how any disputes are to be resolved, according to Swedish law. Here, negotiation or arbitration is primarily recommended, but there is also the possibility of referring disputes to court.
