marketing and related services to its clients (the “Services”);

WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into a referral relationship under which Referrer shall refer
potential clients to Collllor in exchange for a Referral Fee (as defined below and provided herein).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions

agreement with Collllor for Collllor to provide its Services to such Referral, then Referrer shall be entitled to receive one percent (1%) from all transactions made by Referral through Collllor using specified link.
Eligibility for a Referral Fee will be dependent upon Collllor’s reasonable determination that, in addition to referring the Referral, the Referrer had a relevant role in the consummation of the
agreement with such Referral.  Collllor will pay the applicable Referral Fee, if any, to Referrer within thirty (30) days of Collllor’s receipt of the payment from the corresponding Referral.

Collllor shall not be liable for more than a single Referral Fee for each single Referral.  If any third party should make a claim for any Referral Fee or part thereof, then the Referral Fee earned for any closing hereunder shall be apportioned among the claimants for same as determined by Collllor in its sole discretion.  Collllor shall make a reasonable effort to consult with all relevant parties regarding any apportionment.  The final decision of Collllor regarding the apportionment of any Referral Fee due and payable hereunder shall be final.
