Referral Partner may refer any third party whom they believe is a potential customer for Aspire’s products and services.

2.2. Determining a Lead. A potential lead must be submitted to Aspire in writing with contact information, as well as any additional information the Referral Partner has in regard to the sales opportunity or through the Referral Program site (“Referral Procedure”). Aspire asks that the Referring Partner make a warm introduction of the prospect’s key decision maker to the Aspire Partnership Manager or relevant Aspire team member. Referral Partner must provide Aspire with, among other things, the Lead’s current challenges, the timing for solution implementation, and any other detailed information that, in Aspire’s discretion, can help demonstrate the value of the Aspire Core Platform.

Aspire will determine in Aspire’s sole discretion whether any lead submitted by Referral Partner constitutes a Lead and will make reasonable efforts to so inform Referral Partner within ten (10) business days of each submittal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Qualified Lead’s account is terminated within three (3) months of the Qualified Lead’s go-live date, Aspire shall have the right at its sole discretion to charge back the full Referral Reward paid to the Referral Partner. If the Lead is active in the Aspire Sales Cycle and the Referral Partner assists with the final agreement, Aspire may in its discretion choose to compensate the Referral Partner at a prorated rate determined solely by Aspire.

2.4. Payments. Aspire will pay Referral Partner the applicable Referral Reward for each Qualified Leads at a rate as detailed in Exhibit A attached hereto, which may be updated from time to time, unless another compensation arrangement has been agreed to between the Parties in writing.

Aspire may contact you using the contact information you have provided to Aspire to arrange for payment of your Referral Reward. If you do not respond to any given communication from Aspire regarding payment of your Referral Reward within thirty (30) days or have not provided your contact information to Aspire, you are deemed to have forfeited the Referral Reward(s) that would otherwise be due and payable to you, and Aspire shall no longer owe any amounts earned by you during the applicable reward period.

Each Party is responsible for bearing its own costs incurred in performing its obligations under these Terms without deduction or offset and without reimbursement by the other Party.

2.5. Reservation of Rights. Aspire reserves the right to refuse to sell Aspire products and services to any person for any reason.
