Expenses: all expenses shall be deducted before calculating profit. Expenses may include, but are not limited to: cost of goods, selling fees, payment processing fees, shipping supplies and various charges. These expense shall be reimbursed 100% to whichever party incurs them.
Agency reporting: each party to this Agreement is responsible to report their portion of profit to any state or federal agency that may be required by law. Since A is listed as the owner of the Payment Processing entity, any profit payments to B will be reported when B files the required tax forms at the end of the year.
Entity: when sales reach $5000 per month for this project, the parties agree to form a new LLC to handle the business. At that time, a new LLC Membership Operating Agreement will be written and put into place.
Friendship: both parties agree that if things don’t work out – it will not impact their friendship. As they say in legal terms: “shit happens” – There is no doubt that both parties will work in the best interest of each other and for the overall success of the project. At anytime, if one party wishes to stop the project, both parties agree to liquidate inventory to recoup costs and pay expenses. Open communication is the foundation for success with these types of projects. Both parties agree to be frank and open about what is working, and what might need adjustment for the project to succeed.
