SabiLaw Academy Paid Agent (SLAPA) Agreement

Appointment of a SabiLaw Academy Paid Agent on a finder’s fee basis

This Agreement is made on 15 November 2026 between:

1. SabiLaw Academy, the training and capacity-building arm of SabiLaw, of SabiLaw Center, House 27F, Close 27, Drive 1, Prince and Princess Estate, Gudu, Abuja (“SabiLaw Academy”); and
2. [Your name], of [your address], email [your email], telephone [your phone] (the “Agent”).

1. Appointment. SabiLaw Academy appoints the Agent, on a non-exclusive basis, to introduce prospective clients (individuals, companies, organisations and public bodies) to SabiLaw Academy for its executive training programmes, short courses, masterclasses, coaching and in-house training (the “Programmes”). The Agent accepts the appointment on the terms of this Agreement.
2. Registering an introduction. Before a prospective client contacts or engages with SabiLaw Academy, the Agent must register the introduction by email to [email protected], giving the client’s name, contact person and the Programme of interest. An introduction becomes a “Qualified Introduction” only when SabiLaw Academy confirms it in writing. SabiLaw Academy will not confirm an introduction of an existing client, or of a prospect already in discussion with it or already registered by another person. Where two people introduce the same client, the first confirmed registration prevails. A Qualified Introduction remains valid for twelve (12) months from the date of confirmation, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing.
3. Finder’s fee. For each Qualified Introduction, SabiLaw Academy will pay the Agent a finder’s fee of 5% (five per cent) of the Net Fees actually received by SabiLaw Academy from that client for Programmes booked while the Qualified Introduction is valid. No lump-sum or fixed fee is payable. “Net Fees” means fees received in cleared funds, excluding value added tax and other taxes, refunds, credits and discounts, and third-party costs such as venue, travel, accommodation, catering and external certification fees.
4. Payment. The finder’s fee becomes due only after (a) the Programme has been fully delivered to the client, and (b) SabiLaw Academy has received the Net Fees in cleared funds, so that no refund is outstanding or likely. It is payable within fourteen (14) days after the later of these two events, on receipt of the Agent’s invoice or payment request and account details. SabiLaw Academy will deduct withholding tax and any other taxes required by law. No fee is payable on fees that are unpaid, refunded or reversed; any fee paid on amounts later refunded may be set off against future fees.
5. Independent contractor. The Agent is an independent contractor. The Agent is not an employee, partner or agent in law of SabiLaw Academy, and the title “Paid Agent” is descriptive only. The Agent’s role is limited to introducing prospective clients. The Agent cannot bind SabiLaw Academy and has no authority to make promises, offer prices or discounts other than those published by SabiLaw Academy, sign documents, or receive payments on behalf of SabiLaw Academy. All client payments must be made directly to SabiLaw Academy.
6. Conduct. The Agent shall act honestly and professionally, comply with all applicable laws, and disclose any conflict of interest to SabiLaw Academy in writing.
7. Confidentiality and data protection. Each party shall keep confidential the other party’s non-public information and use it only for the purposes of this Agreement. Each party shall handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
8. Use of name and materials. The Agent may use the SabiLaw and SabiLaw Academy names, logos and Programme materials only in the form supplied by SabiLaw Academy or approved by it in writing, and only to promote the Programmes.
9. Taxes and expenses. The Agent bears their own costs and expenses and is responsible for their own taxes on the finder’s fee.
10. Term and termination. This Agreement runs for twelve (12) months from the date above and renews for further twelve-month periods unless either party gives fourteen (14) days’ written notice to end it. Either party may end it immediately if the other materially breaches it.
11. Disputes and governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The parties shall first try in good faith to resolve any dispute by negotiation for fifteen (15) days. If negotiation fails, the dispute shall be referred to mediation for thirty (30) days. A dispute not resolved by mediation shall be referred to arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023. The seat of arbitration is Abuja and the language is English.
12. Electronic signature and entire agreement. This Agreement is signed electronically, and each party agrees that the electronic signatures below are valid and binding. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties on its subject matter; SabiLaw Academy may update these terms for future agreements only.
