OVERVIEW OF PLATFORM AND RESELLER SERVICES

Econic NetworkTM has developed, operates, and maintains a mobile first digital commerce platform that makes it easy for merchants to conduct business digitally (the “Platform”). Econic provides data-driven growth for business and helps sustain local commerce by making local small businesses more competitive. Econic merchants are enabled by the Platform through their smartphones. By utilizing available Merchant and market data Econic can help businesses grow through better pricing and improved customer service.  The markets targeted by the Platform are small and medium sized businesses with 20 or fewer employees, a product and/or service offering of 200 or fewer SKU’s, operations in a service area of up to a 10-mile radius and enough customers to transact $1,000 a week in the Platform (the “Target Markets”).  Agent desires to conduct business as a Econic reseller to the businesses operating in Target Markets for which it has or acquires data and which are generically identified in Section 1 hereof including, without limitation merchants, business operators, business associations, local stores, service professionals, startup businesses and all other small and medium sized businesses (collectively referred to herein as  “Merchants” or “Target Market Businesses” as appropriate) which Agent can introduce, identify, refer, cross sell or otherwise bring into contact with Econic (the “Services”) to register as Merchants on Econic and to conduct commerce on the Platform (each such registration a “Sale”).
