Asker: Could actually be. I am aware of the "barter" alternative, but that isn't what I am looking for. As barter means, in my opinion, the exchange of good (or services) with no money changing hands, and here I am referring to an exchange not related to goods or services.

Asker: You've got the points; however what I did settle on is "trade-off exchange agreement" (doesn't exist in Google, but it will...)

barter exchange


Explanation:
Byttehandel means to exchange services or goods against other services or goods, ie. not against payment. ByttehandelEN is just the definite form - THE barter exchange.

Asker: I agree entirely, and I would call it a barter. However in the source text (a newspaper article), the journalist uses the term for something else. So it isn't a barter.

exchange agreement


Explanation:
This avoids the use of "barter" and doesn't specify your mysterious(!) entities being exchanged.

"Trade-off exchange agreement" sounds a bit wordy but only you can judge whether it fits the context, Charles.

Example sentence(s):
  • The two companies entered into an exchange agreement.

Asker: I agree, and I would use this term; however an "exchange agreement" has a special meaning in legal English. And it doesn't match "byttehandelen" when doing a reverse translation. So that is a quandry. Thanks for your contribution to resolving the puzzle. How about a "trade-off exchange agreement"?
