You acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise indicated on our Platform or agreed in writing otherwise, in the case the partner refers a new client (thus, not ”our existing client”) to Integral, without further significantly contributing to either the sale or delivery of the program, the program will be considered a “new client referral“ and not “Partner Owned Program“. In the case of a new client referral, Integral will pay a referral fee of 2.5% of the Total Program Fee to the partner for the first deal resulting from this referral paid to the partner. Subsequent projects or proposals with this same client will have zero referral fee.

13. Expense Reimbursements, Refunds & Cancellations

To summarise: In general we don’t reimburse you for expenses unless you’ve got a client to agree to them before hand and it’s included on the client proposal. And if a client cancels a project and hasn’t paid for it you won’t be paid either. In other words, this is at your risk.

Depending on who the opportunity owner is we will payout Partner Fees associated with these charges in the following way:

13.4.1. Programs Originated by Partner: you acknowledge and agree that if a Program or project is sold by you or another Partner, (meaning a Partner is the “Opportunity Owner” and it is not one of “Our Existing Clients”) will we payout both Cancellation or Rescheduling fees across all roles types specified in Able for the program as per the Partner Fee Split Formula, on a pro-rata basis to the Cancellation or Rescheduling Fee charged, at the project close.

26. Notices

To summarise: so it’s easier to track things, for formal notices we’ll send emails or write to each other.

26.1. Any notice must be given under this Agreement by one Party to the other Party by: (a) registered pre-post; or (b) email; either to Integral’s contact address as displayed on the Integral Platform, or to your contact address as provided at registration as set out in the Schedule 1.

26.2. A notice given under clause 26 (Notices) is deemed to have been given at the following times:

26.2.1. in the case of pre-paid post, five days after the time of posting, or, if the sender and recipient are in different countries, 10 days; and

26.2.2. in the case of email, 24 hours after the email is sent, unless the sender is notified that the email address is invalid or the email is undeliverable.

27. Force Majeure

To summarise: if something completely outside either you or our control happens and we can’t deliver something we promised to each other, then we can postpone those activities, switch the mode of delivery, and won’t hold each other liable.

27.1. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay Fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur after the making of this Agreement and that are a Force Majeure event.

27.2. Where a Force Majeure situation persists: (a) we may postpone the delivery of our Services to you for a reasonable period of time; and (b) if the delay in Service delivery extends beyond 6 months, either party may cancel the Agreement without penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, this subclause does not apply to rescheduling or cancellations at the option of the Client under clause 5 of our Client Terms & Conditions.

27.3. In the event that we are unable to deliver our face-to-face Services (such as group training) due to a Force Majeure event that prohibits or limits close physical proximity, such as a pandemic or other public health situation, we may alternatively deliver the Services online.

28. Disputes

To summarise: if we have a problem we will talk to each other first and if that doesn’t work we’ll get an independent mediator to help us resolve the issue. Only as a last resort will we go to court.

28.1. In the event that any dispute arises between the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Parties agree that neither Party will commence legal proceedings, except for applications for urgent injunctions, unless it has first applied, and met all the requirements of, the following dispute resolution procedure:

28.1.1. The Party raising the dispute must notify the other Party in writing of the nature of the dispute.

28.1.2. Within 7 days of service of the notice referred to at clause 28.1.1 above, the Parties must meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute.

28.1.3. If negotiation under clause 28.1.2 above fails to resolve the dispute within 21 days, either Party may refer the dispute to a mutually acceptable, independent mediator operating under a recognised code of mediation practice. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a choice of mediator, or if the Parties agree to do so, either Party will refer the dispute to the Resolution Institute for adjudication by a mediator appointed by that Institute. Each Party must participate in a mediation held under this clause 28.1.3 in good faith, with a view to resolving the dispute.

28.1.4. Each Party will be responsible for its own costs of implementing the procedures required by this clause 28 (Disputes), and for one half of the mediator's fees for a mediation held under clause 28.1.3 above.

28.2. Neither Party may resort to litigation to resolve a dispute under this Agreement, except for urgent injunctions, unless both Parties first make a bona fide attempt to resolve the dispute by negotiation, and, if negotiation does not resolve the dispute within 30 days, by mediation before a mutually acceptable mediator, or one appointed by the President of the Law Society of Western Australia. Both Parties agree to continue to perform this Agreement pending the resolution of any dispute.
