1. Purpose. Referral Partner may submit leads of potential new customers (each a “Prospective End Customer”) to Podify for the purpose of assisting Podify to win new business. For the sake of clarity, any use of the term "partner" in this Agreement or in connection with the relationship created by this Agreement shall in no way imply that the Parties are engaged in a joint venture or that either Party otherwise has any ownership interest in, or common enterprise with, the other Party.

2. Qualification Process. Referral Partner shall submit leads to Podify for each Prospective End Customer through the online form on the “Referral Dashboard” webpage. Referral Partner shall complete all required fields as specified on such online form. Podify shall notify Referral Partner, via email, if a lead has been “accepted” within two (2) business days of submission of the form. Podify may reject any lead for any reason at its sole discretion. In order for Referral Partner to receive a referral commission (a “Referral Fee”), Podify and Prospective End Customer must enter into a valid and binding subscription agreement within ninety (90) days of Podify’s email notification to Referral Partner of its acceptance of the Prospective End Customer lead.

3. Referral Fees and Payment. Podify shall pay to Referral Partner the following Referral Fees: 10% of all Revenue received by Podify for the Product Offerings for one full year from date of initial contract signing. For the avoidance of doubt, “Revenue” shall mean the fees paid to Podify by Prospective End Customer for 365 days from the date of signature of initial contract. The Referral Fee is payable no later than thirty (90) days after the date on which Podify receives payment from the Prospective End Customer in connection with the Consummated Transaction. Referral Partner shall be responsible for all taxes, duties, VAT charges and similar taxes and fees which are levied or imposed by reason of Referral Fees paid to Referral Partner, including but not limited to taxes on Referral Partner’s income.

4. Unauthorized Representations; No Authority. Referral Partner shall refrain from making any representations, warranties or guarantees to Prospective End Customers or to the trade with respect to the specifications, features or capabilities of Podify’s product offerings that are deceptive, misleading or otherwise inconsistent with the literature distributed by Podify or its suppliers with respect thereto. Referral Partner is not the agent of Podify and has no authority to execute contracts on Podify’s behalf. Referral Partner agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps to preserve and protect the goodwill and reputation of Podify. Referral Partner shall not engage in any conduct which may damage Podify’s reputation. This Agreement is non-exclusive.
