10. Reservation of Rights


The Company reserves the right:
10.1 to make modifications or additions to the Products or the Product Documentation or the
packaging or finish thereof in any way whatsoever as the Company may in its absolute
discretion determine;
10.2 to discontinue selling any of the Products to the Licensee; and
10.3 to require the Licensee not to use or to cease to use any advertising or promotional
materials in respect of the Products which the Company considers not to be in the
Company's best interests.

11. Territory
11.1.The Licensee shall refrain from seeking customers for the Products outside the Territory but
the Licensee shall not be prohibited from fulfilling any unsolicited orders actually placed by
such customers. The Licensee shall also refrain from establishing any branch or
maintaining any distribution depot outside the Territory for the sale of the Products.

12. Legal Relationship


12.1. During the continuance of this agreement, the Licensee shall be entitled to refer to itself as
certified partner of the Company but such description shall be in accordance with the

submit to the Company proof prints and such other details as the Company may require
and the Company may in its absolute discretion grant or withhold permission for such
proposed use.
12.2. The relationship of the parties is that of seller and buyer and nothing in this agreement
shall render the Licensee a partner or agent of the Company in a legal sense. Where the
term “partner” or “partnership” (as is increasingly more commonly employed in strategic
business alliances) is used in connection with this business, the intention is to demonstrate
the close working relationship, i.e. two parties working together for mutual profit, and not
the contractual relationship that exists between the Company and the Licensee. The
Licensee is an independent Distributor buying and selling in its own name and at its own
risk.
12.3. Nothing within the terms agreed between the parties constitutes a 'Franchise'. The
Licensee must accept full responsibility, taking professional advice where appropriate to
ensure they have the necessary experience, ability and resources to succeed within this
business. The Company accepts no responsibility for the success or failure of the Licensee
due to incompetence or lack of business expertise, or failure to have properly assessed the
market potential in the Territory.
12.4. The Licensee shall not bind or purport to bind the Company to any obligation nor expose
the Company to any liability nor pledge or purport to pledge the Company's credit.

13. Termination
Notwithstanding anything else contained in it, this Agreement will automatically terminate without further
notice to the Licensee if:

obligations which are expressly intended to come into or continue in force on or after such
termination.

fully paid for and which are required to fulfil any unperformed contracts of the Licensee
outstanding at the date of termination (and to the extent and for that purpose the provisions
of this agreement shall continue in effect).
14.5. The Licensee shall immediately eliminate from all its literature, business stationery,
publications, notices and advertisements all references to it being authorised Licensee or

17. Agency, Partnership


This Agreement shall not constitute or imply any legally binding partnership, joint venture,
agency, fiduciary relationship or other relationship between the parties other than the
contractual relationship expressly provided for in this Agreement.

18. Amendments
This Agreement may not be released, discharged, supplemented, interpreted, amended, varied

19. Entire Agreement


The Licence Agreement and these Standard Terms and Conditions of Appointment supersedes
all prior agreements, arrangements and undertakings between the parties and constitutes the

of the delay), the performance of such party's obligations shall be suspended during the period
that the said circumstances persist and such party shall be granted an extension of time for

prepaid; or
21.5. on the tenth business day following mailing, if mailed by airmail, postage prepaid;
21.6. in each case addressed to the most recent address, e-mail address, or facsimile number
notified to the other party.

Agreement (or any interest in those rights); or who, as administrator, liquidator or otherwise,
is entitled to exercise those rights,
24.3. and in particular those references include a person to whom those rights (or any interest in
those rights) are transferred or pass as a result of a merger, division, reconstruction or other
reorganisation involving that party. For this purpose, references to a party's rights under this
Agreement include any similar rights to which another person becomes entitled as a result
of a novation of this Agreement.

25. Waiver
No delay, neglect or forbearance on the part of either party in enforcing against the other party
any term or condition of this Agreement shall either be or be deemed to be a waiver or in any way
prejudice any right of that party under this Agreement. No right, power or remedy in this
Agreement conferred upon or reserved for either party is exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy available to that party.

26. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts or duplicates, each of which
shall be an original, and such counterparts or duplicates shall together constitute one and the
same agreement

amount of such liability against any sum that would otherwise be due to the other party under this
Agreement.

30. Proper Law & Jurisdiction


30.1. The Licence Agreement and these standard product Licence and Distribution terms and all
matters arising from it and any dispute resolutions referred to below shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with non- exclusive jurisdiction at the English Courts
notwithstanding the conflict of law provisions and other mandatory legal provisions save
that:
30.2. the Company shall have the right to sue to recover its fees in any jurisdiction in which the
Licensee is operating or has assets; and
30.3. the Company shall have the right to sue for breach of its intellectual property rights and
other proprietary information and trade secrets ('IPR') (whether in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise) in any country where it believes that infringement or a breach of
this Agreement relating to its IPR might be taking place. For the avoidance of doubt, the
place of performance of this Agreement is agreed by the parties to be England.
30.4. The Licensee recognises that the Company’s business relies upon the protection of its IPR
and that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of IPR, the Company could be
caused irreparable damage and as such the Company may therefore be entitled to
injunctive or other equitable relief in order to prevent a breach or threatened breach of its
IPR.
30.5. With respect to all other disputes that are not IPR related, the aggrieved party shall notify
the other party in writing of the nature of the dispute with as much detail as possible about
the deficient performance of the other party. A representative from senior management of
each of the parties ('representatives') shall meet in person or communicate by telephone
within five business days of the date of the written notification in order to reach an
agreement about the nature of the deficiency and the corrective action to be taken by the
respective parties. The representatives shall produce a report about the nature of the
dispute in detail to their respective boards and if no agreement is reached on corrective
action, then the chief executives of each party shall meet in person or communicate by
telephone, to facilitate an agreement within ten business days of a written notice by one to
the other. If the dispute cannot be resolved at board level within a further five business
days, or if the agreed upon completion dates in any written plan of corrective action are
exceeded, either party may seek its legal remedies as provided below.
30.6. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute by the procedure set out above, the parties shall
irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction at the English Courts for the purposes of
hearing and determining any dispute arising out of this Agreement.

31. Miscellaneous
Where in the event of any dispute between the Licensee and any of the Company's other
Licensees as to any of the provisions of these terms and conditions of appointment or such other
business matters relating the Company’s affairs, then such dispute shall be referred to and
determined by the Company whose decision shall be final and binding upon the parties
concerned.

maintain a Service Level Agreement (SLA) to respond to all tickets submitted within UK working hours
within 2 hours and to resolve the query, wherever reasonably possible, within 48 hours.

MARKETING PACK

Best.Energy offer a full range of client-focused digital marketing materials, which include:

• Professionally designed product brochures and data sheets


• PowerPoint presentations, including sector-specific decks
• Marketing videos (e.g. motion graphic presentation)
• Case studies, technical reports, testimonial videos and letters

partner’s website and other digital materials. It also contains the print files for some elements of the

prospects.

Audit Agreement (PoC) or roll-out

CLIENT OPPORTUNITY REGISTRATION

Best.Energy has introduced a Client Opportunity Registration Program to help protect the efforts our
partners invest in prospective clients and to help us understand how we can assist in moving the
prospect through each stage of the sales process.

Client opportunities are submitted via the Partner Portal for approval and your Regional Sales manager
is automatically notified. If the Regional Sales Manager approves the opportunity it will be inserted into
Best.Energy’s sales CRM (currently FreshSales) for active monitoring.

These opportunities are protected for 90 days, which can be extended subject to demonstrating that

Best Energy Ltd - Standard Terms & Conditions of Appointment - v1.7 - Created 06th October 2021

progress is being made with the prospect.

This program ensures that partners operating in the same territory do not target the same prospective
clients and have Best.Energy’s full support with all their registered opportunities.

CO-BRANDED MARKETING MATERIALS

All partners are permitted to create co-branded versions of Best.Energy’s core marketing materials. This
can be achieved either by requesting the artwork files from the Best.Energy Marketing Department (a
short release document is needed) and handling the design changes locally, or by taking advantage of
our own service to do the same. If you are handling this locally, any amended documents must be
approved by the Marketing Director before being used.

The Marketing Department offers services for both co-branding (maintaining the templated Best.Energy
style and colours) and full rebranding (overhauling the colours, fonts, style and brand identity into the
partner’s own brand). Pricing and availability available on request.

featured in the training program will be made available in digital format - as will recordings of each
session on request.

TRAINING ACADEMY
A regular programme of digital training sessions, delivered each week by a director or senior manager
within the Best.Energy team. Each one provides essential updates from the network, information on the
latest closed deals and a laser-focused training session on a single topic - with Q&A. All sessions are
recorded and maintained in a library for access by partners.

REGIONAL SALES MANAGER


Each partner is assigned an experienced Regional Sales Manager who will act as the go-to person for
maximizing commercial opportunities. Regional Sales Managers are charged with helping partners to
exceed their sales expectations and will typically assist in the following areas:

● Developing a strategic business plan for the territory (based on market trends and
competition)
● Identifying new business opportunities and potential collaborations
● Joining the partner in appropriate client facing presentations (in person or via the web)
● Educating the partner on existing and new product/service information
● Monitoring partner KPI’s, conducting regular business reviews and recommending areas for
improvement

PARTNER SUPPORT MANAGER


Each Partner is assigned a Partner Support Manager who will act as the first line of support for all
Best.Energy related enquiries. Service Managers focus on the following areas, delivering the support
elements either themselves or via the wider Best.Energy team:

● Rapid response to support requests and support escalation when required (including phone
support)
● Assisting with client presentations (via web only)
● Generating quotes and processing orders
● On-boarding new partner employees

ACCESS TO PARTNER PORTAL AND SUPPORT DESK


The Partner Portal acts as a 24/7-support resource with the very latest information on Best.Energy
products and services. The Solutions area of the Partner Portal contains a vast knowledge base of
materials delivered in various formats, including:

​ ● article
​ ● trouble-shooting guides
​ ● installation manuals
​ ● walk-through tutorials
​ ● videos
​ ● webinar recordings

Partners can also raise a support request (or ‘Ticket’) within the Partner Portal, which will show the live
status of all partner tickets and provide easy access to the full thread of communications on any given
ticket.

Tickets are allocated to the most relevant staff member depending on the nature of the ticket. We
maintain a Service Level Agreement (SLA) to respond to all tickets submitted within UK working hours

● Professionally designed product brochures and data sheets

● Marketing videos (e.g. motion graphic presentation)
● Case studies, technical reports, testimonial videos and letters

Additional marketing assistance is available on request from our Marketing Department
including, but not limited to, brand design, graphic design, lead generation, website design
and more. These services are typically above and beyond the Core Establishment Pack and

MEDIA PACK
The Best.Energy Media Pack contains an approved collection of images and logos for use on a
partner’s website and other digital materials. It also contains the print files for some elements of the
Marketing Pack to assist with local printing. Partners must adhere to Best.Energy’s branding guidelines
and any variations to approved branding will be subject to approval.

BESPOKE BUSINESS TOOLS


Best.Energy have created a number of bespoke tools designed to make it easier to do business:

● Fact Find - Uncovers the scale of the commercial opportunity and eliminates unsuitable
prospects.
● Multisite Site Survey Tool - Facilitates the gathering of the data required to propose an
Energy Audit Agreement (PoC) or roll-out

CLIENT OPPORTUNITY REGISTRATION


Best.Energy has introduced a Client Opportunity Registration Program to help protect the efforts our
partners invest in prospective clients and to help us understand how we can assist in moving the
prospect through each stage of the sales process.

Client opportunities are submitted via the Partner Portal for approval and your Regional Sales manager
is automatically notified. If the Regional Sales Manager approves the opportunity it will be inserted into
Best.Energy’s sales CRM (currently FreshSales) for active monitoring.

These opportunities are protected for 90 days, which can be extended subject to demonstrating that
progress is being made with the prospect.

This program ensures that partners operating in the same territory do not target the same prospective
clients and have Best.Energy’s full support with all their registered opportunities.

CO-BRANDED MARKETING MATERIALS


All partners are permitted to create co-branded versions of Best.Energy’s core marketing materials. This
can be achieved either by requesting the artwork files from the Best.Energy Marketing Department (a
short release document is needed) and handling the design changes locally, or by taking advantage of
our own service to do the same. If you are handling this locally, any amended documents must be
approved by the Marketing Director before being used.

The Marketing Department offers services for both co-branding (maintaining the templated Best.Energy
