Student Purchasing Program Venture Agreement

Purpose.  The business of this venture shall be to increase the sales of SheerVision through the use of Assurance’s funding capabilities so that students can purchase Products through extended payment plans allowing the student to pay off the total purchase price of the Product over a 6 to 12 month period.

Term of the Agreement.   The term of this Agreement and venture shall be for two (2) years from the date first written above.  Any party may terminate this Agreement by virtue of the default of the other party, provided it gives prior written notice including notice of the default complained of and such default remains uncured for seven (7) days. All obligations of the parties with respect to any Student Accounts (as defined below) purchased prior to the termination of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect until same have been fully paid in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order (as defined below) and this Agreement.

3.  

General Definitions.  The following terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the following meanings:

4.  

Processing Purchase Orders and Student Accounts.   Within three (3) days of the  Sale Date of Product to a Customer Account, SheerVision shall submit a true and correct copy of the Purchase Order to Assurance via facsimile or electronic mail.  Within three days of Assurance’s receipt of the Purchase Order, Assurance will pay to SheerVision the Assurance Initial Payment in accordance with the Payment Schedule.  Thereafter, SheerVision shall collect, process and account for all credit card payments made by a Student Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Payment Schedule.  It is the understanding of the parties that each purchase of Product by a Student will be secured by an active and good standing nation ally recognized credit or charge card from the purchaser that SheerVision is authorized to take as payment for Product.

5.  

Returns.  SheerVision shall maintain its customary and ordinary return policies in connection with the sale and delivery of Product with respect to all of its sales.  In the event that the customer of a Student Account make a return in accordance with SheerVision’s return policy SheerVision shall immediately notify Assurance of such return, but in no event later than three days (each, a “Return Account”) .  The parties further agree that in the event of the return they will net all payments due and owing under this Agreement under other Student Accounts so that Assurance is credited back the Assurance Initial Payment previously made on the Return Account.

6.  

Responsibility to Pay Sales Tax.  It is the parties’ understanding that it is and always shall be SheerVision’s responsibility to charge, collect and process all sales and use taxes imposed or required to be imposed by any taxing authority in connection with the sale of Product to a Student Account.

7.  

Expenses.  Each of the parties shall bear their own expenses as it relates to their duties, rights and obligations under this Agreement except that it is the understanding of the parties that Assurance will not be liable for or obligated for any expenses incurred by SheerVision in the sale of Product in connection with a Student Account, including, but not limited to, any credit card processing fees, marketing expenses or commissions.

8.  

Default of a Customer Accounts.  Within three (3) days of discovering or otherwise being notified that the end purchaser of a Customer Account has or is going to default upon a payment due under the Purchase Order (a “Default”), SheerVision shall provide Assurance with written notice of such default (each a “Default Account”).  In the event that the Default of a Default Account occurs within the three first three payments due under the Purchase Order (an “Early Default”), it is the parties understanding that SheerVision shall bear the risk of loss associated with these accounts.  Accordingly, in the event of an Early Default the parties will take all necessary steps to ensure that they will net all payments due and owing u nder this Agreement under other Student Accounts so that Assurance is credited back the Assurance Initial Payment previously made on the Early Default Account.  Thereafter, all rights, title and remedies of SheerVision under the Purchase Order shall remain the sole and exclusive property of SheerVision. In the event that a Default occurs at any time subsequent to the third payment due under the Purchase Order (a “Subsequent Default”), it is the parties understanding that Assurance shall bear the risk of loss associated with these accounts.  Therefore, in the event of a Subsequent Default and only after receiving proper notice thereof, Assurance will remit to SheerVision within three (3) days the outstanding balance due under the corresponding Purchase Order less a ten percent (10%) collection allowance.  Upon payment, SheerVision will take all necessary steps and actions required to assign any and all of its rights or claims against the Student Account purchaser to A ssurance.  In addition to the foregoing, SheerVision will take all reasonable and necessary steps to contact the Student Account purchaser on Assurance’s behalf in order to collect the outstanding balance.

11.  

Exclusivity.   SheerVision agrees that it shall not enter into any venture or agreement during the term of this Agreement with any third party whereby it funds the sales of Product on any form of extended payment plan.
