The Purpose
The Company is looking to develop Contacts/clients of its various Strategies. The Referrer will introduce individuals, companies, organisations as contacts for the Company on a non-exclusive basis.

A Contact includes any of its employees, subsidiary, agent or other of the Contact.

The Company shall not be responsible for withholding taxes with respect to the Referrer's commission hereunder or any claim regarding any worker’s or social security right of any kind.
The Referrer will only provide documents to potential contacts that are provided to him by the Company and act with reasonable diligence in the collection and providing of general information about the Contact he provides when presenting the contact(s) to the Company. The Company solely carries out all due diligence and responsibilities required to enter and sign any agreement between the Company and the Contact(s).
The Referrer shall only present contacts to the Company and will not be involved in the process or signing of any deal or agreement between the Company and Contact and not be held liable for any activities, exchange of information, or services rendered between the Company and the Contact.
The referrer is solely responsible for conducting referring business in the jurisdiction the referrer is based or any other Jurisdictions.
Commission Rates
When any contact brought in by the Referrer results in subscriptions, memberships, payments, investment, or in any Company agreement with the Contact (and/or any of its employees, subsidiary, agent or other of its contractor), the Company irrevocably commits itself to inform the Referrer and pay a commission to the Referrer, calculated as a fixed percentage % of the gross amount received by the Company from the Contact.
Payment of Commission
The commission is paid directly by the Company to the Referrer. The commission is due within 10 days of the receipt of payment by the Company from the Contact. The commissions paid to the Referrer will continue to remain in effect as long as the Contact (and/or any of its employees, subsidiary, agent or other of its contractor) is in contract, agreement, or relationship with the Company.
If the Contact agreement or relationship is modified, renewed or extended, the commission in relation to such modification will be due and payable within 10 days at the time any payment is executed from the Contact for services rendered by the Company.
Termination/Renewal
This Agreement shall automatically be renewed for any new Contact introduced by the Referrer to the Company unless prior written notice between the parties. The Company will not be considered having prior knowledge of the Contact/ client if the Company has only a knowledge of the name and/or contact details of the Contact/client presented by the Referrer without proof of prior Company dealings related to the specific proposal or offering by the Company.
This Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution and continue until either Party terminates this Agreement in writing, including email notification. Upon such termination, the Referrer will respect the confidentiality of information in clause 6 of this agreement and will immediately stop presenting any new Contacts to the Company.
The Company shall continue to pay the Referrer all commissions generated by any Contacts presented by the Referrer that are in the process of entering, joining or are still in relationship or agreement with the Company.
