Commission.
Sole Compensation. Representative’s sole compensation under the terms of this Agreement shall
be a commission computed as follows:
a percentage of actual payments received by Company
Basis of Commission. The Commission shall apply to all orders solicited by Representative from the Territory that have been accepted by Company and for which shipment has occurred. No commissions shall be paid on (i) orders from outside the Territory (even if Representative receives the initial inquiry from outside the Territory) unless otherwise agreed in writing by Company. Commissions shall be computed on the net amount paid by customer.
Time of Payment. The commission on a given order shall be due and payable when paid by the customer and be due within 10 days after such payment is received.
Commission Charge-Back. Company shall have the absolute right to set forth cash discounts, to make such allowances and adjustments to accept such returns from its customers, and to write off as bad debts such overdue customer accounts as it deems advisable. In each such case Company shall charge back to Representative’s account any amounts previously paid or credited to it with respect to such cash discounts, allowances, adjustments, return or bad debts. However, Company agrees that the amount of any cash discount provided to a customer and charged back to Representative shall not exceed of the sales price. Payment to Representative upon receipt of customer payments and for the percentage agreed upon eliminates most of these areas for dispute, which the parties acknowledge herein.
Representative has to keep a careful record of all their clients and if in doubt about their commission from the sales, the Representative can follow up the order value with the client. Each invoice will have a unique reference associated with each representative.
