AGREEMENT
The Parties agree as follows:
I. QUALIFIED REFERRALS
1.1 Qualified Referrals. “Qualified Referrals” mean B2B Referrals which: (a) complete the sign-up procedure in accordance with Section 1.2 below; (b) are not current customers of RollWorks, or have been previously introduced to NextRoll through a 3rd party; (c) are accepted by RollWorks in writing as a Qualified Referral; (d) enter into a subscription agreement of at least six (6) months with NextRoll for RollWorks Services within one hundred and twenty (120) days of being accepted by RollWorks as a Qualified Referral; and (e) make at least one payment to NextRoll for the RollWorks Services. The Parties may mutually agree in writing (email sufficing) to waive or extend the one hundred and twenty (120) day time limit for a particular Referral. Company is not eligible to be a Qualified Referral.
1.2 Referral Procedure. Company may send Referrals to RollWorks by filling out the online referral form (https://pages.rollworks.com/RW-New-Partner-Signup.html ) (“Referral Form”). Company is solely responsible for securing all consents that may be necessary under applicable laws, rules, and regulations in order for Company to lawfully share Referrals’ contact information (including any personal data) with RollWorks for RollWorks’ direct marketing activities, prior to sending such information to RollWorks. Upon receiving a Referral Form, RollWorks will send an email to Company to accept or reject the Referral as a potential Qualified Referral within ten (10) business days (silence shall not be deemed acceptance). If a Referral is accepted as a potential Qualified Referral, Company will work with RollWorks in good faith to help coordinate an introduction to the Referral within ten (10) business days of such acceptance. RollWorks will be responsible for the sales process to all Qualified Referrals, subject to the Parties’ continued good-faith cooperation in promoting the sales process to the Qualified Referral.
1.3 Qualified Referral Acceptance. RollWorks will be under no obligation to accept any Referral submitted by Company and may reject or decline to accept Referrals for any commercially reasonable reason as determined by RollWorks.
- REFERRAL FEES
2.1 Responsibilities. RollWorks will be solely responsible for collecting fees for the RollWorks Services directly from Qualified Referrals (“Subscription Fees”) and paying Company any Referral Fees that are due. Company is solely responsible for making any required disclosures to Referrals under applicable laws, rules, and regulations about Company’s receipt of Referral Fees from NextRoll.
2.2 Referral Fees. The “Referral Fee” is equal to: forty percent (40%) of the Subscription Fees actually collected by RollWorks from Qualified Referrals if the referral has greater than one thousand (1000) employees and the contract length is greater than or equal to twelve (12) months; twenty percent (20%) of the Subscription Fees actually collected by RollWorks from Qualified Referrals if the referral has less than one thousand (1000) employees and the contract length is greater than or equal to twelve (12) months; and ten percent (10%) of the Subscription Fees actually collected by RollWorks from Qualified Referrals if the contract length is less than twelve (12) months. The Referral Fee will be paid out for the duration of the initial contract length of the RollWorks Services only. A twenty percent (20%) “Renewal Fee” will be paid out to an Agency Partner if they meet all of the criteria as follows: (1) if the Agency Partner is currently, and directly, working with the client up for renewal on their ABM campaigns (whether or not they were the initial referrer), and (2) the client company size has greater than one thousand (1000) employees. For purposes of calculating the Referral Fee, the term “Subscription Fee” excludes all media spend, media credits, or other fees associated specifically with media, or professional, ancillary/add-on, renewal or upgraded service fees that may be part of the RollWorks Services. If a Qualified Referral terminates the RollWorks Services prior to 12-months after becoming a Qualified Referral, Company will only receive Referral Fees based on the amount of Subscription Fees actually collected by RollWorks.
2.3 Associated Charges. Company shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, duties, governmental charges, and other like charges levied on the Referral Fees, and Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold RollWorks harmless from and against any claims arising out or relating to RollWorks’s payment of Referral Fees.
2.4 Eligibility and Reporting. RollWorks will remit Referral Fees based solely on its own books and records, within sixty (60) days after the end of the quarter in which Qualified Referral’s Subscription Fees are actually received. RollWorks will manage RollWorks Services sales, provision, billing, and collection activities with end-user Qualified Referrals. RollWorks will not be obligated to pay Company Referral Fees to the extent that the Qualified Referral fails to pay all or a portion of its Subscription Fees to RollWorks in a timely manner.
