translate English to French: The fact that a purchaser claims that it retained the services of a buying agent by virtue of an agency agreement and refers to the remuneration of the purported agent as buying commissions is not determinative of a valid buying agency relationship.
Le fait qu’un acheteur prétende avoir retenu les services d’un mandataire à l’achat aux termes d’un contrat d’agence et qualifie sa rémunération de commissions d’achat n’établit pas l’existence d’une relation de mandataire valide.
