In the buyer representation section, the course contrasts common forms:
Exclusive right to represent: the brokerage is owed compensation if the buyer purchases during the term, regardless of who finds the property.
Exclusive agency: the brokerage is the only broker engaged, but the buyer reserves the right to purchase without the broker and owe no commission if the buyer self-procures the property.
