Fowler introduced the notion of a product system: a collection of Hilbert\nbimodules \X= \\Xp:p\∈ P \ indexed by a\nsemigroup P, endowed with a multiplication implementing isomorphisms\n\Xp\⊗A \Xq\≅ \Xpq. When P is\nquasi-lattice ordered, Fowler showed how to associate a C^*-algebra\n\NT_\X to \X, generated by a universal\nrepresentation satisfying some covariance condition. In this article we prove a\nuniqueness theorem for these so called Nica-Toeplitz algebras.\n
