agree to work together and cooperate to promote or sell a product or service. The
Provider sells or offers products or services and should have existing marketing
procedures and strategies, while the Brander will provide further marketing procedures
and strategies. This agreement outlines the terms of the promotion and advertisement
of a product or services and includes other standard clauses, such as indemnification,
