License

Company hereby grants to Affiliate a nonexclusive, non-transferable license (the “License”) to use the Promotional Materials as specified under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The term of the License shall expire upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Intellectual Property

Company retains all right, ownership, and interest in the Promotional Materials, and in any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property in the Promotional Materials. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Affiliate any rights, ownership or interest in the Promotional Materials, or in the underlying intellectual property, other than the rights to use the Promotional Materials granted under the License, as set forth in Section 3.

Relationship of Parties

This Agreement shall not be construed to create any employment relationship, agency relationship, or partnership between Company and Affiliate. Affiliate shall provide services for Company as an independent contractor. As such, Affiliate will provide the Company with either a personal bank account or PayPal details to facilitate payment. Affiliate shall have no authority to bind Company into any agreement, nor shall Affiliate be considered to be an agent of Company in any respect.

Commissions

In exchange for Affiliate’s display of the Promotional Materials, efforts to promote the Company’s products to interested third parties and for Affiliate’s compliance with and performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company shall pay to Affiliate a commission (the “Commission”) in the amount of a percentage of product sold to a user that accesses Company’s website through a link on Affiliate’s website. The current percentage paid for sales of ACCESS CBD® is 20% (of full regular retail price, exclusive of handling and shipping costs). This percentage is subject to change by the Company at any time. Notification to Affiliate of any change in commission percentage will be given by Company at the email address on hand for the Affiliate. Commission will be based on purchases made by a user. Company shall keep accurate and up-to-date records of the data used to determine the total amount of Commissions owed to Affiliate. Affiliate shall be given reasonable access to these records upon request, and is available through the affiliate area on the member page https://www.shoutout.global/userdashboard. Any discrepancy between the amount of Commissions owed according to these records, and the actual amount of Commissions paid to Affiliate in any period or periods shall be rectified by Company within 30 days of discovering such discrepancy.

Commissions are paid on a monthly basis, timed at 5 working days after the end of each calendar month. Commissions are held for this period of 5 days from the end of the month in order to allow the necessary checks and protect Company in the event of any fraud that may occur. If on any Commission Payment Date, the amount of total Commissions accrued and payable to Affiliate is less than £50.00 GBP, then such accrued and payable balance may be held over to the following month, and paid together with the Commissions due for that month.

In the event that Affiliate materially breaches this Agreement and Company terminates this Agreement within 30 days of such breach, then any accrued and payable Commissions owing to Affiliate shall be forfeited, and Company shall not be obligated to pay such Commissions to Affiliate.
