Where the Referred Potential Customer (i) signs a Commercial Agreement with IRP (ii) has not previously entered into a Commercial Agreement with IRP Commerce; and (iii) has not previously been referred or introduced to IRP Commerce by another party, then the Potential Customer shall be considered an “Accepted Customer” for the purposes of this Agreement.
