not as penalty, a sum equivalent to three times the amount that we would have billed our client or the actual amount paid

in finding contacts and leads and developing them into clients. Consequently,
we must protect our investment by ensuring that we receive all leads, inquiries, referrals and requests for services from
our clients. If you offered to provide your services or if you were asked your

references supplied to you and from our contacts, client or all participants in events to we send you. Your own business opportunities arise from leads, inquiries, referrals and requests for services made by
anyone who is not our contacts or clients or any person you may be exposed to through us.
