1. The Engagement. We hereby grant you, during the Term the non-exclusive right to introduce us to Approved Customers and to perform the Referral for the promotion of the software product owned by us (“Software, other capitalized terms are defined below). You shall enter into discussions only with Approved Customers in the territory specified in the your registration form and approved by us (“Territory“) and shall arrange and actively assist a number of meetings between us and key personnel and decision makers within such Approved Customers. For clarity such key personnel may be determined by us at our sole discretion and in advance. You shall further actively and assertively assist us in promoting our negotiations with the Approved Customers and shall attend meetings, including conference calls, with such Approved Customers as shall be requested by us from time to time, at our sole discretion (all of the above, the “Referral”).
2. Approved Customers. Prior to approaching a person, corporation or any other entity in the Territory with whom we are not currently engaged with (“Potential Customer“), you shall fill in an engagement request within the referral partner program platform, detailing the Potential Customer’s entity name, address, field of business, expertise and any other information requested by us within the applicable form.

Only Potential Customers approved in writing by us, (email confirmation shall be sufficient), may be approached by you (“Approved Customer”). You hereby agree and acknowledge that you shall only be entitled to the Commission with respect to Qualified Transactions (as such capitalized terms are defined below) consummated with Approved Customers.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that we have not scheduled an initial meeting with an Approved Customer within six (6) weeks following our approval of such Potential Customer as an Approved Customer, such Approved Customer shall be automatically disqualified from being an Approved Customer with no further act by either party, and we shall be entitled to approach such disqualified Approved Customer with no obligation towards you.
