Further, a referral will only be a “Successful Referral” if the New Customer is not a customer that (i) the Company has already contracted with or contacted about its services or (ii) has already been referred to Company by a third party.

  3. Referral Fee. For each Successful Referral, Company shall pay Affiliate a monthly fee of 10% of the referred New Customer’s monthly subscription fees collected by Company for the first 12 months of such New Customer’s subscription to the Company’s services (the “Referral Fee”); provided that such Referral Fee is due and payable to Affiliate only (i) for so long as the subscription is in effect, and (ii) net thirty (30) days after the New Customer’s monthly subscription fee is received by Company.
