The Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan does not contain the rules governing precisely the Agency agreements, since it is believed that the Agency agreement is an agreement regulating the generalized nature of relations in any transactions, one of the obligatory participants of which is the Intermediary (Agent). The Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan identifies only specific types of contractual agency relations, including commission contracts, commissions, services, etc., each of which has its own characteristics that determine the rights and obligations of the parties.
