Abstract
In economic circulation, various benefits may not be transferred directly, but with the help of other entities legally related to the original alienator and (or) the final recipient of the relevant item. Such legal relations are often mediated by so-called intermediary agreements, however, there are also other contractual structures that may exist in this situation (contracts for the provision of services, contracts for purchase and sale, contracts for work and labour). In this regard, there is a problem of distinguishing intermediary agreements from other contractual types, as well as various types of intermediary agreements from each other.
