Other Agreements
TOMI Service Network (“TSN”) is a national service network composed of existing full-service restoration industry specialists that have entered initially into licensing agreements with us to become Primary Service Providers (“PSPs”). The licensing agreements originally granted protected territories to PSPs to perform services using our SteraMist® platform of products and also provide for potential job referrals to PSPs whereby we are entitled to referral fees. Additionally, the agreement provides for commissions due to PSPs for equipment and solution sales they facilitate to other service providers in their respective territories. As part of these agreements, we are obligated to provide to the PSPs various training, ongoing support and facilitate a referral network call center.
