WHEREAS
Narrowstep wishes to work with the Introducer to distribute its products and
services.
IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
Work
Narrowstep has no obligation to perform or accept any work introduced by the
Introducer.
For the sake of clarity, this does not apply once a party has accepted work
introduced by the other party and the scope and terms for a specific assignment
have been agreed.
Narrowstep will undertake the work to the best of its ability and using current
industry based practice. However, Narrowstep cannot be responsible for factors
outside its direct control and therefore the quality or standard of the work.
Fees
An introductory fee will be paid to the Introducer in respect of introductions
based on the terms set out in Schedule 1. This shall be payable on net revenue
from an initial order from a customer who is introduced and for which an order
is received within 12 months of the initial introduction.
Net revenue means the gross revenue received from a customer in respect of an
initial order after deducting all third party costs incurred directly
attributable to fulfilling that initial order.
For the sake of clarity, net revenue does not include amounts invoiced to
customers which are unpaid.
Payment will be due to the Introducer upon receipt of payment from the customer
and will be paid according to the Payment Period detailed in Schedule 1.
Intellectual property rights
For the sake of clarity, the ownership of and sole right to the copyright,
design or other intellectual property or other right of any work encoded or
streamed by Narrowstep shall be cleared absolutely by the Client. Assurance on
clearance of such rights shall be the implicit responsibility of the Introducer
Narrowstep waives all rights and responsibilities in respect of the work
provided for encoding and streaming.

resulting from the encoding or streaming of works for which rights have not been
cleared, or where the respective residuals and payments have not been made.

entrusted with confidential information of the other party.

other party.
Confidential information means information in respect of the business and
