Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective as of December 10, 2020, we entered into a business services agreement with Business Instincts Group Inc. (“BIG”), whereby we retained the services of BIG to provide various business and product development services.
The term of the business services agreement, the services to be provided by BIG under the business services agreement and the amounts to be paid to BIG for providing the services under the business services agreement (the “Fees”) will be set out separately in the future as separate schedules to the business services agreement.
We and BIG have agreed that the Fees be calculated based on new business services agreements we sign with our customers and such Fees will not be more than eighty percent of the fees that we charge our customers. We expect that the Fees will be eighty percent of the fees that we charge our customers for most of our customers. Under the business services agreement, the Fees are to be calculated only on the revenue earned and collected by us from our customers that relates to monthly services fee and product development fees and the Fees will not be calculated on any revenues earned and collected by us from our customers that are based on transaction processing fees or any revenue earned in the form of equity or joint venture or profit-sharing arrangements in our customer’s company.
Under the business services agreement, we are responsible for paying specific disbursements charged by third parties to BIG relating to the business services agreement, including graphic design, creative, legal and other advisory fees. We have also agreed to reimburse BIG for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BIG in connection with the business services agreement and carrying out the services once we collect these out-of-pocket expenses from our customers. Any out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements to be charged by third parties must be pre-approved by us.
Our chairman and director, Cameron Chell, is a director, officer and an indirect shareholder of BIG.
