NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

  • Sales Lead Information. From time to time during the Initial Term the Referral Partner agrees to provide 7shifts with sales lead information with respect to prospective customers not otherwise known to 7shifts and whose service and/or product requirements might be met by 7shifts (a “Partner Referral”).
  • Scope and Appointment. During the Term, the Referral Partner agrees to conduct business in a manner that will not reflect negatively on the products and services and on the good name and reputation of 7shifts, and will promote 7shifts products and services in a manner and with a level of quality that is at least consistent with the reputation for quality associated with the Referral Partner. Referral Partner represents and warrants to 7shifts that it is able to enter into this Agreement. If Referral Partner is a company or other entity, then the individual entering into this Agreement represents and warrants that it has the authority to bind the entity.
  • Authority The Referral Partner has no authority, without the prior written consent of 7shifts, to bind 7shifts to any contract, representation and/or understanding concerning 7shifts, or the services offered by 7shifts. The Referral Partner shall not provide to any third party any representations, guarantees and/or indemnities regarding 7shifts’ products and/or services.
  • Non-Exclusivity. The relationship between the Parties is non-exclusive, meaning that each Party shall be free at any time to enter into the same or similar arrangements as those contemplated in this Agreement with an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a trust, an unincorporated organization, a governmental authority, and the executors, administrators or personal representatives of an individual in such capacity, provided that such Party complies with all of its obligations under this Agreement.
  • Referrals to 7shifts. For each Partner Referral, the Referral Partner shall provide information about the prospective customer to 7shifts by completing and submitting the online lead submission form provided by 7shifts ( the “7shifts Referral Form”). After a Partner Referral is approved by 7shifts, the Referral Partner shall have no responsibility or obligation in connection with subsequent discussions or negotiations between 7shifts and the prospective customer (the “Prospect”). 7shifts will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into contracts with Prospect(s) within the applicable time period stated in Article 6 below. In the event the approved Prospect(s) execute a contract with 7shifts within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the 7shifts Referral Form was received by 7shifts, such referred customer(s) shall be referred to herein as a “Partner Referred Customer”. 7shifts also will promptly notify the Referral Partner of each Partner Referred Customer resulting from a Partner Referral. In addition, 7shifts will provide the Referral Partner a status report of all referrals. For avoidance of doubt, a Partner Referred Customer shall not include: (i) existing customers and/or Prospects of 7shifts, or (ii) if 7shifts has already had contact with the prospective customer. 7shifts reserves the right to reject any potential customer in 7shifts’ sole and absolute discretion.
  • Compensation
  • 6.1 During the term of this Agreement and provided the conditions set forth herein are met, the Referral Partner shall be entitled to receive a payment (the “Referral Fee”). For each Partner Referred Customer, 7shifts shall pay the Referral Partner a Referral Fee of twenty percent (20%) of any net revenue received from the Partner Referred Customer for 7shifts services during the first year of the agreement between the Partner Referred Customer and 7shifts, provided this Agreement has not been terminated or expired. The Referral Fee shall be inclusive of taxes.
  • 6.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Referral Fee shall be “earned” only if each of the following conditions are met:
  • 6.2.1 The Partner Referred Customer has entered into the applicable agreements with 7shifts in a form acceptable to 7shifts within one-hundred-twenty (120) days of 7shifts receipt of the 7shifts Referral Form;

For avoidance of doubt, if a Partner Referral is received by 7shifts prior to termination of this Agreement, and 7shifts enters into a contract within the applicable time period stated above and receives applicable payment(s) from such Referred Customer, then the Referral Fee for such Referred Customer will be due and payable notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided that the Referral Partner is not in breach of this Agreement.
