3.2 End Date:
Campaign ends July _____, 2025 ("Initial Term"), covering two (2) calendar months.

3.3 Extension:
This Agreement can be extended beyond the Initial Term by mutual written agreement at least fifteen (15) days before the End Date, detailing the new term, scope, and compensation.

IV. COMPENSATION & PAYMENT TERMS

4.1 Compensation Structure and FTE Rate:
The total compensation for Services during the Initial Term is Two Thousand Three Hundred Forty US Dollars ($2,340). This amount is based on the deployment of three (3) Full-Time Employees (FTEs), with each FTE charged at a rate of Three Hundred Ninety US Dollars ($390) per month. The monthly charge for each FTE will commence from the Start Date of the campaign (as defined in Section 3.1), which is contingent upon, among other things, the receipt of the Upfront Payment.

4.2 Payment Schedule:

  • a. Upfront Payment: 30% of Total Contract Value ($702) due before project kickoff. Service Provider will invoice upon Agreement execution. This Upfront Payment is non-refundable after Services commence as it covers initial setup, mobilization, and resource allocation costs.
  • b. Final Payment: Remaining 70% ($1,638) due upon project completion or achievement of Section II deliverables, whichever is earlier, but no later than 5 business days after End Date, subject to adjustment as per Section 4.7. Service Provider will invoice upon project completion.

4.3 Payment Method:
Payments shall be made via bank transfer to the Service Provider’s designated bank account or wise account. Complete banking details will be provided on the invoice.

4.4 Late Payment:
Late payments (over 10 business days past due) incur a ₹1,000/week penalty (or max legal rate) from due date until full payment.

4.5 Service Interruption for Non-Payment:
Service Provider may suspend Services for payments overdue by fifteen (15) or more days, after providing five (5) days written notice to Client to cure such non-payment. Services will resume promptly upon clearing all outstanding dues.

4.6 Taxes:
Each Party is responsible for its own respective taxes. Fees are exclusive of GST or other indirect taxes, which Client will pay if applicable and if invoiced by the Service Provider.

4.7 Impact on Payment for Not Meeting Minimum Registrations:

  • a. The Parties acknowledge that achieving a minimum of eight hundred (800) Verified Registrations (as defined in Section 2.2.a) by the End Date is a critical performance indicator for this engagement.
  • b. Should the total number of Verified Registrations secured by the Service Provider by the End Date be less than eight hundred (800), the Final Payment (specified in Section 4.2.b) shall be subject to a reduction. The specific mechanism for this reduction will be as follows:
    [CLIENT/PARTIES TO INSERT AGREED MECHANISM. Examples:
    "For each Verified Registration below 800, the Final Payment shall be reduced by $[Amount] USD."
    "The Final Payment shall be reduced by [X]% if fewer than 800 Verified Registrations are achieved."
    "A tiered reduction will apply: 700-799 registrations result in a [Y]% reduction of Final Payment; 600-699 registrations result in a [Z]% reduction of Final Payment; fewer than 600 registrations result in a [A]% reduction of Final Payment." ]
  • c. This reduction is specifically tied to failing to meet the 800 Verified Registration minimum. Achieving the full target of 1,200 Verified Registrations as per Section 2.2.a remains the expectation for the full, unadjusted Final Payment.
  • d. Any such reduction shall be calculated and applied to the invoice for the Final Payment.
