Party A maintains cooperation agreements with educational institutions in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and other regions (hereinafter referred to as "Partner Institutions"). The specific list of institutions and programs shall be subject to the official list provided by Party A and may be updated from time to time upon written notice to Party B.

"Base Commission" refers to the commission amount that Party A receives from Partner Institutions for each successfully enrolled student. The Base Commission varies by institution, program level, and program type, as specified in the Commission List (Appendix A) provided by Party A.

"Student" refers to any prospective student referred by Party B to Party A who subsequently applies for admission to a Partner Institution through Party A's services. A student shall be deemed to be referred by Party B only if Party B has provided the student's complete information to Party A in writing and received written confirmation from Party A prior to the student's application submission.

"Successful Enrollment" occurs when a referred student: (a) receives an official offer of admission from a Partner Institution; (b) accepts the offer and pays all required fees; (c) completes visa application procedures (if applicable); and (d) physically commences studies at the Partner Institution, whereupon Party A receives the Base Commission from the Partner Institution.

(a) Party B shall actively identify and refer qualified prospective students to Party A for admission to Partner Institutions;

(b) Party B shall provide accurate and complete information about each referred student, including but not limited to: full name, contact details, educational background, language proficiency, intended program, and any other information reasonably requested by Party A;

(c) Party B shall ensure that all referred students are genuinely interested in pursuing education abroad and meet the basic eligibility requirements of the intended programs;

(d) Party B shall not misrepresent Party A's services or make unauthorized commitments on behalf of Party A to students or Partner Institutions;

(e) Party B shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in its jurisdiction, including but not limited to data protection, consumer protection, and education agency regulations.

(a) Party A shall provide professional education consulting services to all students referred by Party B, including but not limited to: program selection guidance, application assistance, document preparation, visa application support, and pre-departure briefings;

(b) Party A shall keep Party B reasonably informed of the application status of referred students;

(c) Party A shall maintain up-to-date information on Partner Institutions, programs, admission requirements, and commission structures, and provide such information to Party B upon request;

(d) Party A shall process commission payments to Party B in accordance with Article 5 of this Agreement;

(e) Party A shall handle all student data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).

Party B must register each prospective student with Party A by submitting the Student Information Collection Form (Appendix B) via email to Maple@maplesgedu.com. Party A shall acknowledge receipt and confirm the student's attribution to Party B within two (2) business days.

In the event that the same student is referred by multiple agents, the student shall be attributed to the agent who first submitted a complete and valid Student Information Collection Form to Party A and received written confirmation. Party A's determination in this regard shall be final and binding.

Party B's attribution rights to a registered student shall be valid for twelve (12) months from the date of Party A's written confirmation. If the student does not submit an application within this period, the student attribution may be re-assigned at Party A's discretion.

Upon Successful Enrollment of a student referred by Party B, Party A shall rebate to Party B seventy percent (70%) of the Base Commission received from the Partner Institution, and Party A shall retain thirty percent (30%) as its service fee. The sharing ratio is: Party B: 70% | Party A: 30%.

If Party A receives a Base Commission of SGD 5,000 from a Partner Institution for a successfully enrolled student referred by Party B, then:
- Party B's rebate: SGD 5,000 × 70% = SGD 3,500
- Party A's retention: SGD 5,000 × 30% = SGD 1,500

All commissions shall be calculated and paid in Singapore Dollars (SGD). If the Base Commission is received by Party A in a currency other than SGD, the exchange rate for commission calculation shall be the prevailing mid-market exchange rate published by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on the date Party A receives the commission from the Partner Institution.

Party A shall pay Party B's commission rebate within seven (7) business days after Party A receives the Base Commission from the Partner Institution. Party A shall provide written notice to Party B upon receipt of the Base Commission, including the amount received and the calculated rebate amount.

Payment shall be made via bank transfer to the bank account designated by Party B in this Agreement. All bank transfer fees and charges shall be borne by the respective paying party. Party B shall ensure that the provided bank account information is accurate and current, and shall promptly notify Party A in writing of any changes.

For each payment, Party A shall provide Party B with: (a) a commission statement detailing the student name, institution, program, Base Commission amount, and rebate calculation; and (b) a copy of the bank transfer confirmation. Party B shall issue a receipt or invoice (as applicable under local tax laws) within seven (7) days of receiving payment.

Each party shall be responsible for its own tax obligations arising from this Agreement. Party B acknowledges that Party A shall not withhold any taxes from commission payments unless required by applicable law. Party B shall indemnify and hold Party A harmless from any tax liabilities, penalties, or interest arising from Party B's failure to comply with its tax obligations.

Party A shall provide Party B with a quarterly commission reconciliation statement within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter, summarizing all commission payments made during that quarter. Party B shall review the statement and notify Party A in writing of any discrepancies within thirty (30) days of receipt, failing which the statement shall be deemed accepted.

Party A does not guarantee that any student referred by Party B will be admitted to a Partner Institution. Admission decisions are made solely by the Partner Institutions based on their own criteria and policies. Party A shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist students with their applications but shall not be liable for any unsuccessful applications.

If a student withdraws from a Partner Institution or is refunded tuition fees by the Partner Institution for any reason, and the Partner Institution consequently claws back or demands repayment of the Base Commission from Party A, then:
(a) Party A shall promptly notify Party B of such clawback or demand;
(b) Party B shall refund to Party A the full amount of the commission rebate previously paid to Party B for that student within fourteen (14) days of Party A's written notice;
(c) If Party B fails to refund within the specified period, Party A may offset the amount owed against any future commission payments due to Party B under this Agreement or any other agreement.

Party A's obligation to pay commission rebate to Party B is contingent upon Party A actually receiving the Base Commission from the Partner Institution. In the event that a Partner Institution fails to pay the Base Commission to Party A for any reason (including but not limited to the Partner Institution's insolvency, breach of contract, or policy changes), Party A shall not be obligated to pay any commission rebate to Party B for that student. Party A shall use reasonable efforts to collect the Base Commission from the Partner Institution and shall keep Party B informed of such collection efforts.

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, government actions, strikes, natural disasters, or interruption of communication or power supplies ("Force Majeure Event"). The affected party shall promptly notify the other party of the Force Majeure Event and use reasonable efforts to mitigate its effects. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice without liability, except for obligations that have already accrued.

If a Partner Institution changes its commission structure or reduces the Base Commission after a student has been referred but before Successful Enrollment, Party A shall notify Party B of such change. The commission rebate to Party B shall be calculated based on the actual Base Commission received by Party A. Party A shall not be liable for any reduction in commission rebate due to changes in the Partner Institution's commission policies.

"Confidential Information" means all non-public information disclosed by one party to the other party, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including but not limited to: business plans, commission structures, student information, financial information, and trade secrets.

Each party agrees to:
(a) Hold all Confidential Information of the other party in strict confidence;
(b) Not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, except as required by law or to professional advisors bound by confidentiality obligations;
(c) Use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement;
(d) Protect such Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care.

Both parties acknowledge that in the course of this cooperation, they may collect, use, and disclose personal data of students and other individuals. Each party agrees to comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, including Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) and its amendments. In particular:
(a) Personal data shall be collected only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances and with the consent of the individual concerned;
(b) Personal data shall be accurate, complete, and not misleading;
(c) Personal data shall be protected by reasonable security arrangements against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal, or similar risks;
(d) Personal data shall not be retained longer than necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose for which it was collected;
(e) Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any data breach or unauthorized access to personal data.

The obligations under this Article 7 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.

This Agreement shall commence on the date of execution by both parties (the "Effective Date") and shall continue for an initial period of one (1) year, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Article 8.

Upon expiration of the initial term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.

Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other party.

Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if:

(b) The other party becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or has a receiver or liquidator appointed;
(c) The other party engages in any fraudulent, illegal, or unethical conduct in connection with this Agreement;
(d) The other party's business license or operating permit is revoked or suspended.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement:
(a) Party B shall immediately cease representing itself as an agent or partner of Party A;
(b) All commission payment obligations for students who achieved Successful Enrollment prior to the termination date shall survive and remain in full force and effect;
(c) Students who were registered with Party A prior to the termination date but have not yet achieved Successful Enrollment shall continue to be attributed to Party B, and commission payments shall be made in accordance with this Agreement upon their Successful Enrollment, provided such enrollment occurs within twelve (12) months of the termination date;
(d) Each party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession;
(e) Articles 5 (Settlement and Payment), 6 (Risks and Non-Payment), 7 (Confidentiality), 9 (Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution), and 10 (Miscellaneous) shall survive termination.

The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither party has any authority to bind the other party or to incur any obligation on behalf of the other party without the prior written consent of the other party.

This Agreement is non-exclusive. Both parties are free to enter into similar agreements with other parties and to conduct business with other parties without restriction, provided that such activities do not breach the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

(a) Negotiation: In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter through good faith negotiations for a period of thirty (30) days.
(b) Mediation: If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, the parties shall attempt to resolve it through mediation administered by the Singapore Mediation Centre in accordance with its mediation rules then in effect.

The seat of arbitration shall be Singapore. The language of arbitration shall be English. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator to be appointed by mutual agreement of the parties, or failing such agreement within thirty (30) days, to be appointed by the President of SIAC.

Each party shall bear its own costs of negotiation and mediation. The costs of arbitration (including arbitrator's fees and administrative fees) shall be borne equally by the parties, unless the arbitral tribunal determines otherwise. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses unless the arbitral tribunal awards costs to the prevailing party.

This Agreement, including all appendices and attachments, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the parties.

No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Party A may assign this Agreement to any successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets.

The parties shall endeavor to replace any invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that achieves the original intent and economic effect to the greatest extent possible.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
