⚠️ ATTORNEY REVIEW NOTE: Review the entire agreement for term definition consistency. Pay particular attention to the newly added definitions in Section 1.4, especially the definition of “Client Data” in Section 1.4.2, which should be reconciled with any similar definition in the General Agreement. Also review the additions of Appendices 3-5 in Section 1.4.5-1.4.7, which will need to be created and properly cross-referenced throughout the agreement. The improvement to Section 6.2 regarding Qualified Sales should also be reviewed for alignment with Schedule A. Additionally, review Sections 2 and 6 to ensure the commission structure, lead attribution, and dual-model operations (referral vs. resale) comply with antitrust laws and don’t create risk of price fixing. Pay particular attention to Section 2.3.2(e) regarding partner pricing discretion and Section 4.4 regarding non-exclusivity to ensure they properly mitigate antitrust concerns.

⚠️ ATTORNEY REVIEW NOTE: Review the improvements made to Part 2 of the agreement to ensure they address key operational issues while maintaining legal enforceability.
