INSURED SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Service Agreement (“Agreement”) forms the basis of the terms and conditions between Client and Consultant for the services offered by Consultant to Client and is entered into on the date of Client signing of the proposal presented by Consultant to Client. Consultant means Deshret Capital Corp. and its affiliates (“DeshCap”). Client means the entity signing the proposal presented by Consultant.

As presented within Consultant’s latest proposal to Client in which this Agreement is referenced by link to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use on this website (“Proposal”):

in return for an annual fee (“Fee”), as described in Proposal, Consultant agrees to provide to Client the list of risk advisory services outlined in either Service A or Service B or Service C (“Service(s)”) of Proposal based on the chosen Service by Client. Consultant reserves the right to invoice Client in addition to Fee in the event Fee is deemed inadequate compensation based on the number of hours worked by Consultant at Consultant's blended hourly rate of USD 1000.

Contractual Guarantee on cost, applicable to Service A only:

Fee is subject to a revision during the first year of this Agreement only, whereby in the event Client’s cost, excluding Consultant’s Fee, exceeds the Insurance Premium Range outlined in Proposal, and relating to any product offering providing similar protection (“Threshold”), then any excess over Threshold will be deducted from the balance of Fee remaining as a result of the upfront portion of Fee being received to arrive at a final fee that will replace Fee as defined throughout this Agreement.

This Contractual Guarantee is based on what Consultant can achieve in the marketplace, free of any Client interference, including a bindable quotation whether or not such quotation is issued by the expiring broker or insurance company. Client must submit proof of pricing on a bindable quote on a similar protection product in order to claim under this Contractual Guarantee.

Contractual Guarantee on service, applicable to Service A only:

In the event Consultant is unable to meet its cost and service obligations to Client, Consultant agrees to return Client to its expiring insurance given all expiring terms, conditions, and service providers at a minimum and with no additional Fee charged as a result. 

These Contractual Guarantees assume that all necessary data has been provided to Consultant by Client without any form of misrepresentation, that there were no material changes in such data at the time of Client’s acceptance of Proposal, and that there were no material operational losses or changes to the aggregate profitability of the relevant insurance market at the time of Client’s acceptance of Proposal.

These Contractual Guarantees are both subject to Client not being aware of any current or future circumstances that can lead to a loss or claim as well as the validity and truthfulness of the information provided to Consultant.

If Client opts for additional risk advisory services to be provided by Consultant, such additional services would be subject to additional compensation to Consultant, which is to be agreed upon in writing between Client and Consultant.

Cash Advance at Loss, applicable to Service A only:

Upon Client providing a written request, which is received by Consultant no later than fifteen (15) days of a claimable circumstance or loss occurring, for a cash advance to be repaid to Consultant upon successful payout of the relevant insurance policy in force, Consultant shall advance to Client an amount equal to 1% of the limit of liability or 10% of the deductible, whichever is lowest, of the relevant insurance policy being claimed, subject to the following:

• A maximum total cash advance during any given year as outlined within Consultant's proposal or written correspondence to Client;
• Any such policy being claimed must have been managed and reworded by Consultant prior to the occurrence of the claimable loss;
• Any circumstance or loss occurring prior to the date of Client signing Consultant's proposal and/or contravening the terms of this Agreement shall be excluded from this arrangement and Consultant reserves the right do decline any cash advance at loss;
• Any circumstance or loss that is not technically claimable, whether due to the irrelevance of such circumstance or loss or due to explicit insurance policy exclusions for such circumstance or loss, under any of Client's insurance policies being managed and that have been reworded by Consultant shall be excluded from this arrangement and Consultant reserves the right do decline any cash advance at loss;
• Any circumstance or loss that is not technically claimable under commercial insurance policies shall be excluded from this arrangement and Consultant reserves the right do decline any cash advance at loss. For example, any loss claimable under Workers' Compensation or Group Health policies shall be excluded from this arrangement. Please refer to this list of commercial insurance products for guidance.

Term of Agreement

This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, which is the date of signing of Client Acceptance in Proposal, and renews on the contract anniversary date, which is one (1) year from the Effective Date, unless terminated as provided herein or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.

Performance

Consultant agrees to perform all chosen Service(s) to the satisfaction of Client and within the hereinafter specified. If a Service is not complete based on Client’s evaluation, Client has the right to:

(a) Review with Consultant the scope of the Service and resolve matters of concern; and/or

(b) Require Consultant to redo the Service at no additional fee until it is satisfactory;

within fifteen (15) days of Client's evaluation.

Consultant may ask Client to sign a Letter ofAuthorization (“LOA”) permitting Consultant to present such LOA to relevant third-party service providers (including but not limited to insurance brokers, insurance underwriters, and regulators) if necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Payment Obligation

It is understood that the Fee or any part of it, whether it is the base fee or the Bonus, is payable by Client to Consultant as per the terms of this Agreement regardless of whether or not an invoice has been issued by Consultant. It is further understood that applicable taxes are in addition to, and not part of, the Fee.

It is understood that Consultant's Fee may be composed of a fixed portion that is outlined within the Proposal, which is known as a base fee, and/or a variable portion based on savings in year 1 of the Agreement, which is outlined within the Proposal and known as a Bonus. Both the base fee and the Bonus are payable together as one Fee in year 2 or on the anniversary date of the Agreement or one (1) year from the Effective Date.

For example, if the Proposal outlines: Fee = $10,000 + Bonus and Bonus = 50% of all Savings, then the $10,000 is considered to be the base fee. Together, base fee plus the Bonus form the annual fee of Consultant or Fee.

If Consultant's Fee is composed of a base fee, such base fee is payable upfront and must be paid by Client within fifteen (15) business days from the Effective Date of this Agreement.

If Consultant's Fee is composed of a Bonus that is based on a percentage of Savings as outlined in Proposal, such Bonus can be invoiced and/or is deemed payable to Consultant upon receipt of written or verbal confirmation by a licensed insurance broker or provider of the total cost of insurance evidencing such expected Savings vis a vis the expiring cost of insurance, and is payable within fifteen (15) business days of such confirmation. Savings are defined as the higher of either: (a) the expected difference in the total cost of insurance to be saved by Client for similar coverage; (b) the expected difference in the total cost of insurance to be saved by Client for improved coverage that is not attached to an explicit additional annual cost or premium; (c) the expected difference in the total cost of insurance to be saved by Client for a reduction in coverage that is approved by Client; or (d) any of the above mentioned in (a) (b) and (c) on a net after tax basis regardless of the Client's insurance providers, which include insurance brokers and insurance companies, prior to the evidenced expected Savings.

Any unpaid balances constitute Late Payment and shall be subject to interest charged by Consultant at a rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly. In addition, in the event of Late Payment, Consultant reserves the full right to investigate the timing of any operational loss or claim in relation to such Late Payment and either deny or accept providing its Service(s) to Client in relation to such operational loss or claim incurred by Client. Moreover, in the event of Late Payment, Client reserves the full right to suspend all of its services to Client and notify any credit scoring agency of such delay. Payment of Fee by Client to Consultant is subject to terms outlined within Proposal.

Client permits Consultant to charge any selected insurance broker, if at all possible, for a portion of Consultant’s hours worked with the aim of reducing or minimizing Fee or in the event Fee is deemed unreasonable compensation to Consultant based on Consultant’s number of hours worked at their blended hourly rate of USD 1000.

Termination Policy

Client may terminate this Agreement by giving Consultant at least thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate prior to the contract anniversary date.

However, in the event of termination by Client after the anniversary date of this Agreement, or one (1) year from the Effective Date, or during a period in which Consultant incurred work to service Client, Client shall pay Consultant (a) the entirety of the Fee due on the anniversary date of the Agreement, whether it is a fixed base fee or a bonus based on savings in year 1 of the Agreement or a combination of both; and (b) for reasonable costs incurred and professional services satisfactorily performed up to and including the date of Client’s written notice of termination.

In the event of ambiguity leading to disagreement, calculation of any outstanding payment by Client to Consultant shall be based on the higher of either (a) Consultant’s number of hours worked at Consultant’s standard hourly rate of USD 1000, and not exceeding the agreed upon Fee under any circumstance; or (b) Consultant's portion of the Fee that is predetermined and that would have been derived from expected Savings in year 1 of this Agreement.

Consultant may terminate this Agreement by giving Client at least fifteen (15) days written notice of its intent to terminate prior to the contract anniversary date.

Otherwise, Termination for Cause can be effected immediately by either Client or Consultant in the event of one or more of the following: delay in payment of any Consultant issued invoice by Client as per Payment Obligation, commercial bankruptcy of either party, fraudulent and/or improper conduct by employees of either party, breach of any terms of this Agreement, any form of misrepresentation resulting in brand or reputational damage to either party, solicitation of Consultant’s partners and employees by Client, and transfer of Consultant’s proprietary data to other parties without Consultant’s written consent.

If Client chooses to terminate this Agreement while there are outstanding Client payments due to Consultant, it is Client’s responsibility that such dues are completely settled.

(a) Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, save, and keep harmless Client from any and all loss, cost, damage, or exposure arising from the negligent acts or omissions of Consultant.

(b) Client agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, save, and keep harmlessConsultant, its affiliates and subsidiaries, from any and all loss, cost, damage, or expense from:

(ii) The legality or validity of the operations, organization, or structure of Client; and

INSURance provider general AGREEMENT

Any Service Agreement entered into between DeshCap and any insurance provider, whether such insurance provider is an insurance company or an insurance brokerage, is subject to the terms, conditions, and definitions within this Insurance Provider General Agreement ('General Agreement'), which govern and supersede any terms, conditions, and definitions within any Service Agreement.

Section 1. Definitions

As used in this General Agreement, the following words or expressions shall mean:

1. Service Agreement: the agreement entered into between DeshCap and the insurance provider and signed and dated by their respective authorized representatives.

2. Policy: any single or group of insurance policies belonging to a Client of DeshCap, including any future renewals of such Policy whether or not Client ceases to exist as a client of DeshCap, as may or may not be governed by the Insured Service Agreement section of this Terms of Use, on which DeshCap provides or provided risk management services to an insurance provider and subject to a Service Agreement, as negotiated or last amended between DeshCap and such insurance provider. Policy includes all extensions and endorsements attached to such Policy, including but not limited to extended reporting periods (also known as a run-off policy), renewals, midterm changes in coverage, new Policies bought in conjunction with Policy, and new policies bought as a result of a Change in Control Event, as stipulated in the Change in Control Event section of this General Agreement, whether or not Client is a surviving or controlling legal entity of such Change in Control Event.

Under no circumstances shall an insurance provider change the terms of any Policy without the written and explicit consent of DeshCap. In the event a Policy is changed by an insurance provider without the written and explicit consent of DeshCap, DeshCap has the right to terminate for cause its Service Agreement with such insurance provider with immediate notice and subject to a termination penalty equal to the present value of the Fee perpetuity determined by the following formula: Fee perpetuity equals to the latest Fee divided by Discount Rate. For the purpose of this clause, Discount Rate shall equal the Canada 10-yr Government Bond Yield at the time of termination for cause of Service Agreement.

3. Fee: the Fee as defined within the Service Agreement and subject to the Policy terms and conditions structured and negotiated by DeshCap only for its Client or renewals of Client policies in the event Client is no longer a client of DeshCap. Fee is due to DeshCap according to the Payment obligation stipulated within the Service Agreement as long as the insurance provider that is a counter party of such Service Agreement continues to be the insurance provider of Client, unless the Service Agreement is terminated for cause and subject to any termination penalties stipulated within the Service Agreement or this General Agreement.

4. Client: a client of DeshCap as governed by the Insured Service Agreement section of this Terms of Use and/or subject to the Change in Control section of this General Agreement. Client includes all client operations sold or merged as part of a Change in Control Event whether or not Client is a surviving or controlling legal entity of such Event and whether or not Client is a named insured on any insurance policy post Client Event.

Section 2. Change in Control Event

A Change in Control Event includes any type of merger, acquisition, or event that impacts the shareholding and/or voting structure of Client or Insurance Provider.

1. Client Event

In the event of a change in control Event that impacts the shareholding and/or voting structure of a Client resulting in a newly formed entity ('New Group') whereby Client is not the surviving or controlling legal entity or parent entity: Policy includes the portion of New Group's coverage and premium allocated to the operations of Client ('Post-Event Premium'), whether or not Client is a surviving legal entity of such Event and whether or not Client is a named insured on any of New Group's insurance policies. The Post-Event Premium would equal to New Group's insurance policy premium times the average of (i) percentage (%) of New Group's gross revenue contributed by Client, and (ii) percentage % of New Group's Profit Before Tax contributed by Client. For example, if the premium of New Group's insurance policy is $100,000.00, and (i) Client contributed 50% of New Group's gross revenue, and (ii) Client contributed 10% of New Group's Profit Before Tax, then the Post-Event Premium = $100,000.00 x ((50+10)/2)%) or $30,000.00. In no event shall the Post-Event Premium be negative for the purpose of a Client Event.

2. Insurance Provider Event
