1. Introduction

1.1 This Agreement sets out the mutual understanding of the key terms of an envisaged long-form contract as entered into between CFD and {{company_name}} (“{{abbreviated_company_name}}”)(the “parties”), which is proposed so as to allow an option for {{abbreviated_company_name}} to act as an agent on behalf of its end customers who wish to ensure the planting of trees by the making of financial contributions on those end customer’s behalf (so as to counter-balance the associated environmental impact of that end customer’s purchase of {{abbreviated_company_name}}’s dining products and/or services).

This Agreement will form part of {{abbreviated_company_name}}’s “Carbon Free Dining” certification which is envisaged to be marketed to {{abbreviated_company_name}}’s end customers.

1.2 This Agreement is intended to be :

1.2.1 legally binding on the parties; and

1.2.2 personal to the parties (such that it may not be assigned or transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party).

1.3 Each signatory purporting to enter into this Agreement confirms that they have the necessary due authority to enter into this Agreement (on behalf of the party that they represent); and that once signed by them, it will be legally binding (upon the party that they represent).

1.4 Each party will bear its own costs in terms of entering into this Agreement.

2. General Intention

2.1 {{abbreviated_company_name}} agrees that it will actively participate in the relevant CFD initiatives in a bona fides manner.

2.2 By participating with CFD, unless their end customer (only) declines the option to make a financial contribution, {{abbreviated_company_name}} will act as an agent for its end customers and, collect a financial contribution on behalf of its end customers in relation to each bill/invoice/purchase passing through its electronic point of sale system.

2.3 CFD will facilitate the planting of a single tree for every agreed financial contribution (of the order of One Hundred and Twenty Three British pence / One hundred and Twenty three Euro Cents / One Hundred and Twenty Three United States Cents (GBP £1.23 / Euro €1.23 / USD $1.23 USD) or such other sum as is agreed between the parties), as paid by {{abbreviated_company_name}} (on behalf of its end customers) to CFD.

If CFD subcontracts any of its obligations under this Agreement, including (but not limited to) the act of tree planting, it will remain primarily liable to {{abbreviated_company_name}} for all its obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 CFD will (subsequent to receipt of the relevant financial contributions), promptly acknowledge to {{abbreviated_company_name}} by way of a formal acknowledgement of receipt of sums of money received by CFD (and recording such number of trees as are to be planted).
