2. Role as referrer and obligations

2.1. Appointment. 1D3 is a distribution platform, providing digital goods businesses with a range of promotional opportunities, providing to various Suppliers. Subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, 1D3 hereby appoints the Referral partner as a nonexclusive referrer of Services to Suppliers. In connection with such appointment, the Referral partner shall market and otherwise promote Services to Suppliers, solicit orders from interested Suppliers for Services, and refer such Suppliers to 1D3 for potential enrolment for Services.

2.2. Sales and referral efforts. The Referral partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to refer Suppliers to 1D3 and solicit orders from the Suppliers interested in purchasing any of the Services. 1D3 reserves the right to refuse the provision of Services to any Supplier referred by the Referral partner for any reason, in 1D3’s sole discretion.

2.3. Obligation to provide necessary information and documents. Upon 1D3’s request, the Referral partner shall provide information and documents necessary to assess the referred Supplier. If the Referral partner fails to provide the required information and documents regarding the referred Supplier and/or Approved Supplier within one month from 1D3’s request, 1D3 considers the respective Supplier and/ or Approved Supplier as never referred by the Referral partner. If due to the Supplier’s delay or failure to provide information and documents necessary for enrolling of the Supplier, 1D3 has not concluded a Supplier Licensing Agreement with the Supplier within two months from the date when the Referral partner has referred the respective Supplier, 1D3 considers the respective Supplier as never referred by the Referral partner.

2.4. Limitations. Clause 2.1 sets forth the entirety of the Referral partner’s right to market, promote, offer and distribute the Services. The Referral partner will not, directly or indirectly: (a) market, promote, offer or otherwise distribute any of the Services except as specifically set forth in this Agreement; (b) remove, alter, distort, cover or otherwise modify any legal notices (including any notice of proprietary rights) appearing in or on, or that may be included with, any content, documentation, or other materials furnished or otherwise made available to the Referral partner by 1D3; and (c) surcharge, bill or collect any fees from Approved Suppliers for their enrolment in or use of the Services. 1D3 may at any time modify its grant of rights to the extent necessary to ensure compliance.

2.5. No unauthorised warranties. The Referral partner shall accurately describe 1D3 and the Services to each Supplier. The Referral partner will make no representation, warranty or description regarding the performance, functional characteristics or other aspects of any Service that is beyond those stated in 1D3’s then-current and approved marketing and promotional strategy for the applicable Service.

2.6. Liability for losses, damages and costs incurred by 1D3. In the event if 1D3 incurs any overdue amounts, loss, damage, cost (including all interest, penalties, fines and legal costs and all other professional costs and expenses) due to an Approved Supplier arising from or in connection with the Supplier Licensing Agreement, 1D3 shall negotiate with the Approved Supplier and endeavour to recover any such losses, damages and costs from the Approved Supplier. In the event if the Approved Supplier does not pay the losses, damages and costs, 1D3 shall be entitled to recover them from the Referral partner. All losses, damages and costs recoverable from the Referral partner under this Clause shall be limited to the amount of the commission received by the Referral partner within the three last months before the losses, damages and costs were incurred by 1D3.

3. 1D3’s obligations

3.1. Services. 1D3 will provide Services to Approved Suppliers to the extent required by, and in accordance with the Supplier Licensing Agreement.

3.2. Supplier rejection. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, 1D3 reserves the right to reject any Supplier, refuse to provide Services to any Supplier, or to cease providing Services to any Supplier, each as determined in 1D3’s sole discretion.

4. Commission payment to the referral partner

4.1. Commission. As remuneration for the performance of the Referral partner’s referrer services pursuant to this Agreement, the Referral partner shall be entitled to receive a commission from 1D3 in the amount and according to the calculation agreed in writing between the Parties for each Approved Supplier separately. 1D3 shall pay the commission for a relevant Approved Supplier as agreed between the Parties in writing as long as the Supplier Licensing Agreement or this Agreement has not been terminated, except where the Agreement provides otherwise or it has been agreed otherwise between the Parties.

4.2. Payment. The Referral partner's commission shall be paid upon written request of the Referral partner. If the total amount of the commission does not exceed thirty thousand euros (EUR 30 000) or its equivalent in other currency, 1D3’s expenses for the bank transfer are deducted from the amounts payable to the Referral partner.

4.3. Taxes. All commissions and any other payments to the Referral partner include all applicable taxes. If the Referral partner has not applied the necessary tax to the commission, the amount of the commission together with the tax shall not become higher than the initial amount of the commission and instead the initial amount of the commission shall be considered to have included the tax.

5. Term and termination

5.1. Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the date when both Parties have executed this Agreement, and will continue thereafter on a yearly basis until terminated by either Party as provided under this Agreement.

5.2. Termination by any of the Parties. Either Party shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement for convenience upon written notice of 30 (thirty) calendar days to the other Party. In the event if 1D3 terminates the Agreement according to this Clause, 1D3 shall continue to pay the commission to the Referral partner for each Approved Supplier for three months after termination of the Agreement.

5.3. Termination by any of the Parties due to the breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement with a prior written notice provided to the other Party (the breaching Party) in the event if the breaching Party materially breaches the Agreement and does not remedy the breach within 30 (thirty) days after receipt of such notice or if the breach cannot be remedied at the reasonable determination of the Party terminating the Agreement. The termination will be effective as of the expiry of the aforementioned time period.

5.4. Termination by 1D3 due to non-performance of the obligations. In the event if the Referral partner does not refer any new Suppliers and shows no reasonable activity in referring Suppliers for three years, 1D3 has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect in its sole discretion.

5.5. Termination in an Insolvency Event. Either Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if the other Party has become subject to an Insolvency Event.
