Introduction Fees

Important: The following statements do not constitute an offer of contract to you, but merely indicates our intentions regarding ex-gratia payments.

If you introduce Software Scientific to a third party and revenue to Software Scientific results, we will pay you a finder's fee if, in our sole opinion, without your assistance that sale would not have been made. The finder's fee will be:

• Calculated on the revenue we receive, after direct costs have been subtracted, in the first twelve months from the date of your introduction.
• A percentage of the above revenue, between one to five percent, depending on the how much work is required for us to secure the deal. If no work is required, the percentage is five percent. If significant work is required, the percentage is one half a percent. For levels in of work in between, the percentage paid is in between.
• In the same way as the percentage is related to the amount of work required to secure the deal, the commission is capped. If no work is required, the cap is £5,000. If significant work is required, the cap is £500. For levels of work in between, the cap is in between.

In addition:

• No commision will be paid for 'introductions' to parties with whom we are already in discussions.
• Any monies paid will be on a 'paid when paid' basis, and less any amounts we are required to outlay in connection with paying you, such as any relevant taxes, bank fees, out of pocket expenses, or direct costs.
