    The Parties now hereby agree as follows:

    1. LAWASSA provides a range of online learning services with free access to over four thousand courses published on the LAWASSA platform.
    2. LAWASSA provides B2B learning services to corporates and institutions, and the Affiliate may promote the services and solicit new B2B customers to join the LAWASSA platform.
    3. The Affiliate will be granted its own unique tracker (“UTM”) that the Affiliate must use to invite prospective users in its audience and network to become registered users and active learners on the LAWASSA platform.
    4. Any Affiliate-introduced users that register for the first time on the LAWASSA platform through the unique Affiliate UTM will qualify as “Affiliate Learners”.
    5. Affiliate Learners who complete courses or diplomas may, entirely at their own discretion (or as a result of ongoing Affiliate promotion), purchase and pay for one or more certificates and diplomas for the publicly published fee upon completion, thereby generating Learning Revenue for LAWASSA.
      • All fully paid and undisputed Learning Revenues received by LAWASSA from Affiliate Learners, net of any other applied discounts and taxes, will qualify for a Revenue Share Commission equal to [20% (twenty percent)](hereinafter “RSC”).
      • The RSC will only be earned and paid on LAWASSA revenue generated within 12 months of a new unregistered user completing their registration on the LAWASSA platform.
      • LAWASSA will monitor, catch, report and prosecute to the maximum extent permitted by law any affiliate that it suspects of abusing this affiliate programme purely for their own financial gain, for the purpose of fraud or for criminal intent. LAWASSA reserves the right to suspend any affiliate account at any time, temporarily or indefinitely and without warning or notice and without any reason whatsoever, until LAWASSA satisfies itself that the affiliate is a bona fide operator. LAWASSA reserves the right to demand any further information that it deems necessary to determine the bona fide existence and performance of any affiliate operation at any time. Any claim by LAWASSA against an abusing affiliate will not be limited to any amounts paid or calculated under the RSC.
    6. LAWASSA will pay a one-off B2B Introduction Fee (“BIF”) to the Affiliate for any successfully onboarded and paid-up B2B customer that is directly introduced by the Affiliate to LAWASSA, and accepted by LAWASSA as a B2B Affiliate introduction. Terms of the affiliate B2B programme are as follows:
      • Only Affiliates that have already successfully onboarded regular users on the LAWASSA Platform will be invited to participate on the Affiliate B2B programme, unless agreed otherwise in writing by LAWASSA. LAWASSA reserves the right to change the basis on which introductions will be recognised as the affiliate programme develops.
      • A B2B customer is qualified for BIF if they have not already been registered as a B2B user on the LAWASSA Platform [and if they recognise and consent to the Affiliate as being the introducing party by registering the Affiliate’s unique identification number on the B2B registration form].
      • The BIF will become payable for qualifying B2B customers only on paid fees, net of any discounts, deductions and taxes as follows:
        • FreeLMS subscription with no advance payment bundled with agreed certification discount vouchersfor their learners: [zero fee share];
        • FreeLMS subscription with no advance payment and without certification discount vouchers: [20%(twenty percent) of any net payment received from B2B learners].
        • Advanced, paid Annual Fee: [20%(twenty percent) of net payment received].

    1. RSC and BIF will accumulate on the Affiliate’s online account until such time as a minimum balance is reached to qualify for payment release (“Minimum Payment Amount”). Payments will be made from time to time as and when the Affiliate’s online account balance reaches the required threshold. The accumulated balance will be shown on the LAWASSA platform under the Affiliate Dashboard, and a history of previous payments will also be recorded and available for examination through the Affiliate Dashboard.
      • LAWASSA reserves the right to modify the Minimum Payment Amount from time to time in order to minimise payment transaction fees. LAWASSA will be responsible for sender fees and the Affiliate will be responsible for the recipient fees on the chosen payment provider. The Affiliate shall fill out its own payment Recipient details on the Affiliate online account accessible through the Dashboard page in order to qualify for payments. LAWASSA will increase the available payment providers over time, and the currently available payment providers are: Paypal; Bank transfer via Swift international payment system.
      • RSC and BIF are gross amounts that exclude all applicable local sales taxes, if any. LAWASSA reserves the right to make payments net of tax deductions where these become payable to local regulators from time to time. In order to eliminate unnecessary withholding and deduction of regulatory taxes the Affiliate must furnish any information that may be required from time to time by LAWASSA to satisfy regulators that no such deduction is necessary. LAWASSA reserves the right to collect and store Affiliate information to legally satisfy “Know Your Customer” and “Anti-Money Laundering” requirements in your local legal jurisdiction and/or the LAWASSA legal jurisdiction and may withhold or delay payments until the required information is supplied by the Affiliate. All necessary information can be provided through the Affiliate online account.
      • Any RSC or BIF that accrue from users and businesses in any legal jurisdiction where it is illegal to make affiliate commissions will be exempt from payment and LAWASSA reserves the right to block payment for any sales made in such jurisdictions.

      • The Affiliate will not mimic, imitate, copy or replicate any of LAWASSA’s services or courses.

      • Each party will have the right to monitor the other’s online website to ensure that the terms of this agreement are complied with. The Affiliate undertakes to be fair and honest and not to use cookie stuffing or click generators to artificially create traffic leads by robot software.
      • LAWASSA is free to update and modify its user, learner and Affiliate terms and conditions from time to time as it may deem necessary.
    7. The Parties agree to keep confidential the terms of this agreement. Failure to do so by one Party without the written agreement of the other Party will constitute a breach of this agreement and may be cause for termination of this agreement.
      • The Parties acknowledge that it is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions to disclose any promotion to the public that will involve an affiliate marketing fee. Therefore the Affiliate agrees to disclose the existence of an affiliate agreement with LAWASSA to its audience when it is promoting and introducing new users and learners.

Any dispute or difference between the Parties (“Dispute”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement including but not limited to performance, termination or breach thereof, which cannot be amicably settled first through mutual negotiations during the Rectification Period, shall entitle the offended Party to refer such Dispute for resolution in accordance with the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration with a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by the respective counsel of each of the Parties.

      • The place of arbitration shall be London (but a virtual hearing venue will be permitted).

      • The arbitration tribunal award shall be binding on both Parties.
