For the sake of clarity, any use of the term “partner” in this Agreement or in connection with the relationship created by this Agreement shall in no way imply that the Parties are engaged in a joint venture or that either Party otherwise has any ownership interest in, or common enterprise with, the other Party.

2. Qualification Process. The referral partner shall submit leads to Eva via the Referral partner affiliate

link, email or through an online form on the “Refer a Client” webpage.

Eva may reject any lead for any reason at its sole discretion. In order for Referral Partner to receive a referral commission (a “Referral Fee”), Eva and the Prospective End Customer must enter into a valid and binding subscription agreement within one hundred eighty (180) days of Eva’s email notification to Referral Partner of its acceptance of the Prospective End Customer lead.
