Expansions

Failure to do so will require any outstanding fees to be paid and the onus being the Vendor.

Overturn rule

Should this viewing result in a sale the broker / referrer who arranges the viewing which the customer attends shall be attributed the fee. If the Business Centre organises the viewing, and not the broker / referring agency, then the broker / referrer that was first to send the introduction shall be credited with the fee.

Payment Rebate  (Due to Error)

In the unlikely event Future Squared are paid a referral fee and it should later transpire due to Vendor error that Future Squared were not the initial client referring Broker, the Vendor has a 6-month period from the initial viewing to claim a rebate paid to Future Squared, if the Vendor claims a rebate after this period, it will not be valid and no rebate will be given.
