Enquir3 Partner Agreement (Aug 18 V1)

This Partner Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the day set forth on its signature page (the “Effective Date”) by and between Enquir3 Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales, with its registered office at Boston House, Grove Business Park, Wantage, OX12 9FF (“We,” “Us” or “Our”) and the undersigned entity on the signature page (“You”). For purposes of this Agreement, You and We are individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties.”

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties intending to be legally bound agree as follows:

1.            INTRODUCTION SERVICES.

1.1          Introduction Activities. You shall, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, introduce to Us prospective customers (each a “Lead”) who have expressed interest in Our products and services (collectively, “Products”). Any sales of Products shall be pursuant to a contract between the Lead and Us, with no obligation on your part other than to make such introduction and to provide only such assistance with the solicitation of such Lead as may be agreed between Us and You.

1.2          Introduction Submissions. A Lead shall be submitted for approval by You in writing, by completing the form provided by Us for this purpose (the “Lead Submission Form”). Each submission shall include (i) the name of the Lead, (ii) the name and contact information (phone number, company name, email address) of the appropriate representative of the Lead, and (iii) the type of Products for which the Lead is being introduced. We shall be entitled at Our sole discretion to decline to approve a Lead based on factors that include, without limitation, Leads not submitted on a Lead Submission Form, Leads which are existing customers/prospective customers, or an incomplete submission of information about the Lead.  For the avoidance of doubt, only a Lead correctly submitted on a Lead Submission Form by You and subsequently approved by Us in writing, shall be a “Qualified Introduction”.

1.3          Performance. In performing any activities under this Agreement, You shall conduct yourself in a manner that maintains or increases the goodwill of Us and Our Products. Your statements concerning the Products shall always be consistent with Our written materials as provided to You by Us from time to time. You understand that you have no authority to bind or commit Us to any obligations or undertakings.

 1.4         Non-Exclusive Appointment. Our engagement of You is on a non-exclusive basis and Our ability to receive introductions from third parties or Our right to sell or license Products directly shall not be limited by this Agreement.

2.            INTRODUCERS FEES – PAYMENT.

2.1          Products. Due to the nature of Our Products and the options selected by a Qualified Introduction, We may charge different types of fees in an agreement with a Qualified Introduction. Where used in this Agreement, (i) “Client Satisfaction Interviews” shall refer to any applicable per client interview process (ii) “System Setup” shall refer to any applicable website or other online system deployed for an introduced client, (iii) “Interview Processing” shall refer to any applicable charges related to the creation of marketing or other content as a result of a Client Satisfaction Interview,  and (iv) “License Fees” shall refer to any applicable fee for licensing Our technologies, all as set out in the agreement with a Qualified Introduction. Such charges and fees shall be known as “Applicable Product Charges.” 

2.2          Introducers Fees. We shall pay You Introducers Fees in an amount equal to the percentage set forth on the signature page of this Agreement of the revenues for each Applicable Product Charge that are actually received by Us from a Qualified Referral (the “Introducers Fee”) following the effective date of Our agreement with such Qualified Introduction to purchase Our Products (the “Fee Period”). For the sake of clarity, Referral Fees shall only be paid upon the amount of revenues actually collected with respect to any Applicable Product Charge and You shall not be entitled to compensation in respect of any related credit card fees, taxes, duties, third-party commissions, accommodations, discounts, returns or credits.  All Introducers Fees shall be payable in £ sterling.

2.3          Deductions. We shall be entitled to make applicable deductions from the Introducers Fees to account for, without limitation, credits, returns, rejections, invoice disputes, past due amounts and other collection issues associated with transactions between Us and any Qualified Introduction for which Introducers Fees were previously paid to You (collectively, “Deductions”).

2.4          Payments; Statements. On or about the 15th day of the month following the end of each of Our fiscal quarters during the Term (as defined below), We shall send to You a statement setting forth for the quarter then ended (i) the Qualified Introductions which You introduced to us and invoiced amounts for Applicable Product Charges; (ii) the percentage rate of Applicable Product Charges to which You are entitled and corresponding Referral  Fee,

(iii) any Deductions applicable to the Introducers Fees previously earned by You, and (iv) the net amount of Introducers Fees to which You are entitled. You shall provide to Us an invoice for such net amount of Introducers Fees and We shall pay that amount within thirty (30) days of Our receipt of the invoice. If We do not receive an invoice within four (4) months of delivery of Our statement, then You shall be deemed to have waived your right to receive the Introducers Fees reflected on such statement.

2.5          Compensation; Expenses. The Introducers Fees shall constitute full payment for the services rendered by You hereunder. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, You shall bear any expenses incurred by You in performing services hereunder.

2.6          Payment of Multiple Parties. We reserve the right to split, deny or reduce Introducers Fees if We determine multiple or substitute parties should be entitled to receive credit for the same introduction or sale of Products. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement that may be construed to the contrary, We shall have final authority to resolve in Our sole discretion all issues regarding the allocation of credit for an introduction or sale of Products.

3.            TERM.

Term and Early Termination. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, continue unless and until terminated by You or Us on not less than thirty (30) days’ notice. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, either Party may terminate this Agreement:

(i) immediately if the other Party fails to remedy a breach of this Agreement within fourteen (14) days after delivery of a written notice that reasonably specifies the circumstances of such breach or

(ii) if the other Party passes a resolution for its winding up or a court of competent jurisdiction makes an order for the winding up or dissolution of the other Party, an administrator is appointed in relation to the other Party or an encumbrancer takes possession of the other Party’s assets, the other Party ceases to business at any time for more than thirty (30) days or if an event equivalent to those described in this clause 3.1(ii) occurs in any jurisdiction in relation to the other Party.

3.1   Introducers Fees Upon Expiration and Termination.  If We terminate this Agreement for your uncured breach, then no payment of Introducers Fees shall be due in respect of the period following your receipt of notice of such breach. If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, then, in respect of agreements entered into between Us and Qualified Introductions which you introduced to us during the Term, You shall be entitled to receive Introducers Fees for the remainder of any Fee Period of such agreements outstanding as at the date of such termination. You and We consider that Council Directive 86/653/EEC will not apply to the subject matter of this Agreement. However, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Directive does apply, You shall have the right to be indemnified as provided in that Directive on termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, You shall have no right to any compensation under that Directive on termination of this Agreement.

4.            INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

No ownership, interest or title to any intellectual property of a Party is transferred pursuant to this Agreement. Any use of Our tradename, trademarks or logo shall be preapproved in writing and in accordance with any applicable guidelines and You shall not infringe any of our intellectual property rights.

5.            CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The     term “Confidential Information” means any information that either is designated as confidential or that is not generally known or readily ascertainable to the public, including, without limitation, information regarding the Products, data, techniques, technology, methods, procedures, know-how, trade secrets, price lists, customer agreements, business and financial information and other activities of a Party. All Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party shall remain the property of such Party and no license or other right in such Confidential Information is granted hereby. A receiving Party will not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party and will take all reasonable precautions to prevent its unauthorised dissemination, both during and after the term of this Agreement. A receiving Party’s distribution of Confidential Information shall be limited to its personnel and agents who have a need to know for a receiving Party’s performance, or exercise of rights, under this Agreement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that a breach of this provision may give rise to irreparable injury to a Party, not easily compensable in money damages. As such, a disclosing Party may seek injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing undertakings. Upon written request, a receiving Party will destroy or return to a disclosing Party all Confidential Information in its custody or control. This provision will survive any termination of this Agreement.
