1 Object of the Contract

(1) The Partner offers its customers printed products via the shop system provided by Unitedprint
(hereinafter: Partner Shop) in its own name and for its own account. The Partner is the sole services
provider and contractual partner of the final customers registered via the Partner Shop.

(2) The Partner shall organise its online sales exclusively by way of the Partner Shop and, for the du-
ration of this Partner Agreement, shall not operate any competing online shops either itself or through
the agency of any third parties. Excepted from this rule are those, in Annex 2 of this contract men-
tioned, online shops that the Partner operates either itself or through the agency of a third party at the
time of the conclusion of this contract.

(3) In the context of operating its Partner Shop the Partner shall be free to blank out groups of prod-
ucts provided by Unitedprint and / or to offer its own groups of products in its own Partner Shop inas-
much as and to the extent to which Unitedprint makes such functions available. Orders made up of
groups of products that have been provided by Unitedprint shall, inasmuch as the Partner has deter-
mined this in its Partner Shop, be handled by Unitedprint and sent to the delivery address indicated by
the Partners customer.

(4) Unitedprint undertakes to waive a providers identification in the shop system and in the context of
contractual processing with the Partners customer.

2 Remuneration and Payment Transactions

the Partner Agreement. Inasmuch as it should be intended to introduce charges, this shall be an-
nounced to the Partner serving a period of notice of 1 month; the Partner shall have the option of can-
celling the Partner Agreement in accordance with 13 should the continuation thereof subject to a fee

methods of payments, such as payment by credit card via the financial institute (according to ZAG

made by online methods the Partner shall be required to set up an account without an overdraft facility
with the Payment Provider and to maintain this throughout the usage of the Partner Shop and the du-
ration of the Partner Agreement. This shall be effected by way of its concluding a contract pursuant to
the acceptance of the means of payment and, if necessary, an acceptance contract with the Payment
Provider.

cessed/produced/ordered via Unitedprint and which are delivered independently by the Partner, Unit-
edprint shall receive from the Partner a separate remuneration according to the percentage rate to be
defined in the Annex 1 to this contract. The total amount of the resultant fee will be reported to the
Partner weekly and, inasmuch as one of the online payment methods made available by the Payment
Provider has been selected, be automatically settled via the Payment Provider. Otherwise settlement
shall be effected via Unitedprint.

about from the Partner Shop entirely or partially. Inasmuch as any third party rights should be violated
