Exhibit 10.13

 

MASTER DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT

 

THIS MASTER DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT (hereinafter the “Agreement”), is made this 21 first day of November 2008 (“Effective Date”), by and between “Who’s Your, Daddy. Inc., a Nevada corporation having its principal place of business located at 5840 EI Camino Real, Suite 108, Carlsbad, CA 92808 (“WYD”), and Bervt Promotion, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company having its principal place of business located at                                                                                                                          (“Distributor”). WYD is the producer and seller of certain products described in Exhibit A the (“Products”). Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Distributor desires to be appointed as a distributor for the Products and WYD desires to appoint Distributor as a distributor. Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and undertakings set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      SCOPE OF APPOINTMENT.

 

A.                                  WYD hereby appoints Distributor as its exclusive distributor, with the right to sub-distribute upon substantially similar terms and conditions hereof and such other terms and conditions as Distributor reasonably determines, for the sale of the Products in the territory listed in Exhibit B (the “Territory”). The Distributor will notify WYD of any sub-distributor appointed within seven (7) days.

 

B.                                    In order to help ensure the Products are distributed properly throughout the entire Territory, and that Distributor devotes its diligent efforts to the Products and to the support of its customers within the Territory, Distributor shall refrain from engaging in actively soliciting customers located outside the Territory with respect to the Products during the term of this Agreement, unless otherwise authorized by WYD in writing. If Distributor is found to have violated this provision, it is subject to termination for cause under Section 4 (C). If Distributor has cause to believe Product is being transshipped and sold to customers in Distributor’s Territory other than under the provisions of Section 1 (A), Distributor shall notify WYD promptly and Distributor and WYD will make its best efforts, including the use of all available legal remedies, to determine the source of the transshipping and cause it to cease. Except as hereinafter provided, if any of the above restrictions is unlawful under applicable laws or regulations, such restriction(s) shall be considered of no force or effect.

 

C.                                    Distributor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to diligently and faithfully develop a demand for the Products and to solicit purchases thereof so as to maintain a reasonable volume of sales of the Products.

 



 

Distributor further agrees that, at all times hereunder, it will maintain adequate working capital, facilities and personnel to accomplish this purpose.

 

D.                                   During the term of this Agreement, WYD shall not appoint any other distributor for the sale of the Products within the Territory. Distributor shall not sell Products outside of the Territory or sell to customers located within the Territory who Distributor knows will sell substantially all of the Products outside the Territory. If, from time to time, WYD introduces new beverage products in the Territory, they will first be offered to Distributor. If mutually acceptable terms are agreed upon within a reasonable time after WYD gives Distributor notice of the new products, the new products will be added to this Agreement on said terms.

 

The exclusive right to sell the Products in the Territory does not apply to sales or transfers by National Chains of the Products to or within the Territory to its stores or its affiliates with which the Distributor did not devote direct efforts. A “National Chain” is defined as a group of affiliated, centrally managed accounts that are reasonably designated by WYD for National Chain treatment. WYD will use its best efforts to arrange for the Distributor to distribute to the National Chains. If WYD is unable to reach an agreement for the Distributor to sell the Products to said National Chains, WYD will pay Distributor an invasion fee equal to the difference between the per case price sold by WYD to the National Chain and then current per case price for the Products to the Distributor, less shipping and slotting fees actually paid by WYD, on all sales to said Chains. For example, if WYD sells a case of Products to a National Chain for $22, and pays $1 per case shipping and slotting fees, and the Distributor’s then current wholesale price for the Products is $18, WYD will pay the Distributor an invasion fee equal to $3 per case sold to the National Chain.

 

For disclosure purposes, WYD is advising the Distributor that it has an agreement in place, for marketing purposes, for vending machines, office coffee services and mobile catering distributors (includes schools) in certain territories.

 

E.                                     Distributor hereby accepts its appointment hereunder.

 

2.                                      PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS.

 

A.                                  The Distributor agrees to the prices and payment terms as provided in Exhibit C.

 

B.                                    Distributor shall notify WYD in writing of disputed charges within seven (7) business days of receiving the invoice containing the disputed charge. Distributor shall provide documentation reasonably requested by WYD to resolve the dispute. Distributor and WYD shall exercise reasonable, good faith efforts to resolve the disputed charges. Failure to contest a charge within thirty (30) days of the date of the Distributor’s receipt of an invoice

 

2



 

shall create an irrefutable presumption of the correctness of the charge, absent manifest error. If Distributor and WYD fail to resolve the disputed charge within thirty (30) days from the date of the Distributor’s receipt of an invoice, the disputed charge shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement.

 

C.                                    Payment may be made by cash, credit card, money order, Automatic Clearing House (ACH) or Cashier’s check or company checks made out to WYD.

Either party may seek equitable relief prior to the mediation to preserve the status quo pending the completion of that process. Except for such an action to obtain equitable relief, neither party may commence a civil action with respect to the matters submitted to mediation until after the completion of the initial mediation session, or forty five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. Mediation may continue after the commencement of a civil action, if the parties so desire. The provisions of this Clause may be enforced by any Court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.
