The Agency is under common ownership with IngredientWorldwide.com, a separate digital platform offering paid listings and lead generation services (together referred to as the “Affiliated Platforms”).

To protect the commercial integrity, lead ownership, and revenue model of the Agency, the Supplier agrees to the following:

a) The Supplier shall not, without prior written consent from the Agency, list, promote, advertise, or offer for sale any goods or services that are identical or materially similar in function, composition, use, or intended market to those represented by the Agency, on IngredientWorldwide.com or any other Affiliated Platform during any period of active commercial engagement.

c) Upon conclusion of such engagement, the Supplier must observe a cooling-off period of twenty-four (24) months, during which it shall not engage with IngredientWorldwide.com or any other Affiliated Platform without the Agency’s prior written approval. This period reflects the lifecycle of commercial development and protects the Agency’s investment in market entry, lead generation, and negotiation.

d) The Agency may, at its sole discretion, approve early or parallel participation by the Supplier on IngredientWorldwide.com, provided that:

Full written disclosure is made by the Supplier in advance;

Participation does not compete with or undermine the Agency’s commercial interests; and
