CONSULTING Agreement

 

This Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between SS International Consulting, Ltd. (“Consultant”) and the client Medytox Solutions Inc. (“MMMS”) identified on the signature page to this Agreement as (MMMS).

 

The Consultant is in the business of providing management consulting services, business advisory services, marketing strategies and investor relations advice and management. The Client deems it to be in its best interest to retain the Consultant to render to the Client such services as may be agreed to by the parties from time to time; and the Consultant desires to render such services to the Client as set forth hereunder.

 

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Consulting Services. The Client hereby retains the Consultant as an independent contractor, and the Consultant hereby accepts and agrees to such retention. It is acknowledged and agreed by the Client that the Consultant carries neither professional licenses nor memberships in any self-regulatory organizations. It is further acknowledged and agreed by the Client that the Consultant is not rendering legal advice or performing accounting services and Client will be responsible to seek legal and accounting advice in relation to any proposals put forward by Consultant. The services of the Consultant shall not be exclusive nor shall the Consultant be required to render any specific number of hours or assign specific personnel to the Client or its projects. The Consultant will work with the Executive management team of Client to agree on the details and parameters of any projects undertaken.

 

 

Independent Contractor. The Consultant agrees to perform its consulting duties hereto as an independent contractor. Nothing contained herein shall be considered to create an employer-employee relationship between the parties to this Agreement. The Client shall not make social security, workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance payments on behalf of Consultant. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Consultant cannot guarantee the results or effectiveness of any of the services rendered or to be rendered by the Consultant. Rather, Consultant shall conduct its operations and provide its services in a professional manner and in accordance with good industry practice. The Consultant will use its reasonable business efforts in providing services to Client.

 

Time, Place and Manner of Performance. The Consultant shall be available to the officers and directors of the Client at such reasonable and convenient times and places as may be mutually agreed upon. Except as aforesaid, the time, place and manner of performance of the services hereunder, including the amount of time to be allocated by the Consultant to any specific service, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Consultant.

Payment shall be made in full on or before the last day working of each month.

 

Termination. Either the Consultant or the Client may terminate this Agreement at the end of any month during the term of this Agreement. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of the Client or the Consultant.

 

The Consultant and the Client shall have the right and the discretion to terminate this Agreement should the other party, in performing its duties hereunder, violate any law, ordinance, permit or regulation of any governmental entity or self-regulatory organization, accept for violations that either singularly or in the aggregate do not have or will not have a materially adverse effect on the party desiring termination.  

 

Work Product. It is agreed that all information and materials produced for the Client shall be the property of the Client.

 

 Confidentiality.

Consultant and Client shall each require their employees, agents, affiliates, sub-contractors, other licensees, and others who have access to Confidential Information through Consultant or Client, as the case may be, to enter into appropriate non-disclosure agreements requiring the level and degree of confidentiality contemplated by this Agreement. Consultant and Client each agree that it will not, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, disclose, use or make known for its own or another’s benefit, any confidential information acquired or used by it hereunder. The term “Confidential Information” excludes information that: (a) is made public by Consultant or Client in violation of this Agreement, (b) becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of disclosure by Consultant or Client or another party in violation of any obligation of confidentiality, or (c) Client or Consultant obtains from sources other than Client or Consultant.
