In Article 454 of 818 numbered old Code of Obligations (EBK), salesman was regulated under the name of traveling salesperson. Although EBK regulated traveling salesperson with the other dependent merchant assistants such as commercial representative, commercial agent and other merchant assistants in a single article; TBK regulates this term as salesman and issued under the part of contract of service in detailed provisions.
