Hello everybody

I was reading an agreement (services agreement) and found a clause which set forth that service provider could render services to contractor only within a certain territory. The clause title was "Exclusiveness". First I thought it was wrong, I thought the noun was exclusivity. But then I found it in Oxford Dictionary. I was wondering whether there is any difference between them (maybe exclusiveness should be used to mean the exclusiveness of luxury items, for instance). Can anyone help? Which word should I use in such kind of contract?

Hi,

Exclusiveness - tendency to associate with only a select group (and often used in the classical literature).

Exclusivity -
contract term in which one party grants another party sole rights with regard to a particular business function.

Within the limitation of my knowledge exclusivity is the legal term. Interestingly exclusiveness and exclusivity are not synonyms!

Maybe you can try http://www.legal-definitions.com/, where you can find legal definations.

Is it me or is it the universe? It could be the universe but I am not sure thus I have been still wondering and drinking tea. However, the tea is getting cold.
