Buyers
may choose to lease Products via the Platform. For the avoidance of
doubt, not all Products can be leased. When a Buyer leases a Product

will be used.

At
the appropriate time and subject always to section 3.2,
the Lessor will send the Invitation to Invoice. You can access the
Invitation to Invoice on the Platform or via Your dedicated email

you as Principle.

Invitation to Invoice explicitly does not constitute a Purchase Order
from The Lessor, upon Silverwing’s receipt of the Invitation to
Invoice, a purchase order will be automatically generated from the
Buyer to Silverwing (acting on Your behalf). Immediately, Silverwing
will generate a purchase order for sales on Your behalf, disclosing
the identity of the Buyer and disclosing the associated Invitation to
Invoice from the Lessor. You can access this second purchase order on
the Platform or You may elect to receive this purchase order via
email to Your designated email address.

the Manual process is used, the Lessor will pay You in full and on
demand on or in advance of the Invitation to Invoice for the Price
Due. Your receipt of these funds in full will absolve the Lessor's

2.12Failure to Pay
on Time
2.13If either Party
fails to pay any undisputed amounts payable by it to the receiving
Party under this Agreement within thirty (30) days, the receiving
Party shall be entitled, but not obliged, to charge the other Party
interest on the overdue amount. Such interest shall be payable by the
paying Party forthwith on demand, from the due date up to the date of
actual payment, after as well as before judgment, at the rate of two
percent (2%) per annum above the current base lending rate of
Barclays Bank Plc. at the date the relevant invoice was issued,
commencing on the due date and continuing until fully paid, whether
before or after judgment. Such interest shall accrue on a
daily basis.

after the due date, Silverwing may at its option, and without
prejudice to any other remedy at any time after payment has become
due, temporarily suspend Your access to the Platform until such time
as the payment is made in full without notice or demand. Silverwing
therefore may, without liability to You, disable passwords, accounts

relevant invoice(s) concerned remain unpaid.

shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.16You will not hold
Silverwing liable for any interest on late transactions with the
Buyer or Lessor, as long as Silverwing initiates payment to You in
accordance with section 4 or required by law, court order or any
governmental or regulatory authority.
2.17If the Buyer or
Lessor fails to pay any undisputed amounts payable to Silverwing on
Your behalf under this Agreement, You acknowledge that You will hold
the Buyer or Lessor responsible, and not Silverwing, for any such
interest accrued in accordance with the Sales Agreement or this
Agreement, as long as Silverwing initiates all payments in accordance
with section 4.

Schedule
2: Price Curve Transactions
Price
Curve
The
Price Curve is a pricing structure for Offers that you or a Vendor
can use to sell Products to Purchasers within an Offer via the
Platform. A Price Curve is visible to all Purchasers as a graph
showing price in pounds against the cumulative quantity of units
sold. This graph is distinct for each Offer available for purchase or
'Relevant Price Curve'. For the avoidance of doubt, not all Offers
will have a Price Curve.
Each
Price Curve is only available for the Offer Period. Once the Offer
Period has ended, no further purchases of that Offer will be
permitted under the Relevant Price Curve. For the avoidance of doubt,
there is no limit to the number of subsequent Offers that can be
created for each product.
The
Current Price of each Product at any given time within the Offer
Period is dependent on the total quantity of units previously sold
within the collective of all Qualifying Purchases made by all
Purchasers, in accordance with the Relevant Price Curve.
As
a Purchaser inputs their specified quantity of an Offer, their Price
Payable updates in accordance with the Relevant Price Curve.
Upon
acceptance of the relevant order, the Price Payable for that specific
Order will be locked as the Purchaser Contract Price and the
cumulative volume of the Offer sold will update in real time. The
Current Price for all relevant Suppliers (and Vendors as applicable)
will reflect this update.
All
prices are shown on the Relevant Price Curve excluding VAT.
Price
Curve ordering and acceptance process
Silverwing,
acting as agent on behalf of the Supplier (and/or Vendor as
Applicable), will receive an order on the platform and notify you or
the Vendor (as applicable) of any orders on the Platform and you or
the Vendor (as applicable) are responsible for notifying Silverwing
that the order is accepted subject to the Supplier Contract or the
Vendor Contract (as applicable).
Once
Silverwing receives this notification (as referred to at section
28.2.1), the order will be considered accepted and Silverwing will
conclude the transaction by payment as authorised agent on behalf of
the Supplier (where you are acting as a supplier) and/or Vendor
(where you are acting as a Purchaser (see sections 28.3 and 28.4 for
detail). This will then constitute a Qualifying Purchase.
The
Automatic Order Acceptance feature (as described at section 4.5.4) is
also available for Price Curve orders.
Invoice
generation for Price Curve purchases

acceptance of the order for a Qualifying Purchase, you (or the
Vendor as applicable) will create an invoice for the Order. The
invoice will be addressed and sent in electronic form to the
Silverwing, acting on behalf of the Purchaser, and will include the
payment details as set out in section 28.4, at the relevant time (as
you (or the Vendor) set out on the Platform).
Upon
acceptance of the order for a Qualifying Purchase, Silverwing will
create an invoice for the Purchaser Contract Price for the order on
Your behalf (where you act as a Supplier) or on the Vendors behalf
(where you act as a purchaser) at the appropriate time as (You or the
Vendor set out on the Platform, Where you act as a Supplier The

9.1.1
9.1.2
Payment
of Price Curve purchases
Purchasers
may use the Platform to make purchases using their Trade Credit
Facility, as per the Supplier or the Vendor Contract (as applicable).
Subject
to section 28.4.3, if a Purchaser has purchased Products using credit
granted under a Trade Credit Facility, it is the Purchaser and not
Silverwing that should be pursued for payment.
Pursuant
to 3.2 and Silverwing's agreements it has in place with other
Purchasers, Suppliers and Vendors, Silverwing is authorised to act as
a Supplier or Vendors payment agent for the receipt of payment of
Offers. The Purchaser will pay Silverwing in full and on demand for
the Purchaser Contract Price in full and on demand as an Upfront
Payment or n advance of the Trade Credit Facility. For the avoidance
of doubt, for a Buyer this will be 30 calendar days. The receipt of
these funds in full will absolve the Purchaser's obligation to pay
you under the Supplier Agreement or Vendor Agreement (as applicable)
in respect to the Qualifying Purchase (where acting as Supplier) or
the Vendor (where you are a Purchaser). For the avoidance of doubt,
upon Our receipt of the Purchaser Contract Price in Full, title
(where relevant) will transfer from You to the Buyer (where you act
as supplier, or from the Vendor to You (where you act as a
Purchaser).
Upon
Silverwing's receipt of payment in full of the Purchaser Contract
Price from the Purchaser, Silverwing will confirm receipt and will
pay you (where you act as a Supplier) or the Vendor (where you act as
a Purchaser) in full for the Purchaser Contract Price. This payment
from Silverwing shall be deemed the 'Initial Payment' and will be
added to the Balance Transfer Statement and will initiate onward
payment in accordance with Section 4.12.
Upon
Silverwing's payment in full of the Initial Payment, we will change
the status of the Purchaser's Price Curve Credits from Pending to
Redeemable for the relevant Qualifying Purchase. Redeemable Price
Curve Credits may then be used in accordance with section 28.5.
You
will (where you are a Supplier) or the Vendor will (where you are a
Purchaser) notify Silverwing upon receipt of payment in full for the
Price Due from us.
At
your discretion you may opt to use the Automatic Net Transaction for
the receipt of the Price Due from the Buyer (collected by Silverwing
on your behalf) and your Price Due for the Vendor (collected by
Silverwing on behalf of the Vendor). Upon Silverwing's receipt of the
Buyer Contract Price from the Buyer, Silverwing will add both the
Initial Payment that Silverwing owes to you and the Supplier Contract
Price that you owe to Silverwing on Behalf of the Vendor, to the
Balance Transfer Statement. Silverwing will mark your Supplier
Contract Price for the Vendor as pre-paid on the Balance Transfer
Statement and you will be transferred any difference. For the
avoidance of doubt, with the Automatic Net Transfer you will receive
the difference between the Buyer Contract Price from the Buyer and
the Supplier Contract Price for the Vendor, which shall be equal to
your Margin.
Price
Curve Credits
If
Purchasers make a Qualifying Purchase, then a Purchaser may be
entitled to earn Price Curve Credits.
Purchasers
will see a positive balance on the Platform associated with their
Account ('Price Curve Credits') where, in accordance with the
Relevant Price Curve, the Current Price of the Supplier (or Vendor as
applicable) whom the Purchaser purchased from during the Offer is
less than the Purchaser Contract Price for the Qualifying Purchase.
The Price Curve Credits appearing on an Account will be equal to the
difference between the Purchaser Contract Price less the Current
Price for the relevant Supplier (or Vendor as applicable). Price
Curve Credits will continue to be generated on the Account until the
Offer Period ends, at which point no further Price Curve Credits will
be generated in relation to that Relevant Price Curve.
Price
Curve Credits represent the rebate on the Purchaser Contract Price
that either you (where you act as a Supplier) or the Vendor (where
you act as a Purchaser) have been able to pass onto Purchasers, due
to the collective impact of all eligible purchases made against the
Relevant Price Curve.
Price
Curve Credits will show as Pending and will not be redeemable for use
by the Purchaser until Silverwing has received payment in full from
the Purchaser.
Buyers
will be entitled to withdraw their Redeemable Price Curve Credits or
offset these against future purchases however you (in your capacity
as a Purchaser) will not be entitled to withdraw the Redeemable Price
Curve Credits and may only use these to credit a Buyer's Price Curve
Credit account.
Where
you act as a Supplier, and create an offer, you will guarantee the
payment of the Discount Monies to Silverwing in accordance with
section 28.6 and you hereby authorise Silverwing to transfer out of
the Discount Monies Account the Redeemable Price Curve Credits for
subsequent withdrawal or offsetting as elected by the Buyer in
accordance with Section 28.7.
Where
you are a Purchaser, in accordance with section 3.2, you acknowledge
that Silverwing will pay your Redeemable Price Curve Credits on
behalf of the Vendor.
It
is the responsibility of you, the Buyer and the Vendor to ensure that
you appropriately account for VAT on any sales you make on the
Platform and any Price Curve Credits you generate and pay, in
accordance with applicable laws, legislation and accounting
standards.
Payment
of Price Curve Credits to Purchasers
By
default, You (where you act as a Supplier that creates an Offer) or
the Vendor (where you act as a Purchaser) will use the "Automatic
Net Transaction" for the payment of the Initial Payment and the
Discount Monies payment. Upon receipt of the Purchaser Contract Price
from the Purchaser, Silverwing will add both the Initial Payment
(that Silverwing owes to you) and the Discount Monies payment (that
you owe to Silverwing (with an associated Invoice) to the Balance
Transfer Statement. Silverwing will pay you the net off the payments
in accordance with the Balance Transfer Statement. For the avoidance
of doubt, with the Automatic Net Transaction you or the Vendor (as
applicable) will receive the Minimum Price per unit of the Offer for
that Order, (unless the Offer has ended, in which you will
additionally receive and Final Payment due from Silverwing in
accordance with section 28.6.3), with the Discount Monies being
segregated and transferred to the Discount Monies Account.
At
the end of the Offer Period, Silverwing will pay you (or the Vendor
as applicable) the Final Payment. The Final Payment will appear on
the Balance Transfer Statement for daily reconciliation.
The
Final Payment will be equal to the difference between Final Price and
the Minimum Price.
For
the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser’s Current Price does not
decrease within the Offer Period from the date of the Qualifying
Purchase, then the Final Payment will be the for the total of the
Discount Monies amount.
If
the Purchaser’s earns Price Curve Credits (in accordance with
section 28.5). Silverwing will transfer the funds (in accordance with
section 28.7), equal to the Redeemable Price Curve Credits from the
Discount Monies Account to the relevant Purchaser's Price Curve
Credits account.
When
a Buyer initiates a withdrawal or use of a Redeemable Price Curve
Credit with you on the Platform (and you are acting as a Purchaser),
If you do not have Redeemable Price Curve Credits (created from the
Qualifying Purchase) with the Vendor, Silverwing will produce a
Credit Note (in accordance with section 28.7) in your name, for the
relevant Redeemable Price Curve Credits and add this to the daily
Balance Transfer Statement. Silverwing will automatically initiate
the redemption of the equal number of Redeemable Price Curve Credits
from a Vendor to you when they are generated.
If
you have Redeemable Price Curve Credits with the Vendor (associated
with the Qualifying Purchase) You acknowledge that Silverwing will
pay you the Redeemable Price Curve Credits on behalf of the Vendor.
And you pursuant to section 3.2 You authorise Silverwing to initiate
onward payment on your behalf to the Buyer. Silverwing (acting on
behalf of the Vendor) will provide you with a credit note from the
Vendor in accordance with Section 4.13. Silverwing will
simultaneously generate a credit note in your name for Silverwing
(acting on Your behalf Buyer). Both credit notes will be added to
the Balance Transfer Statement. For the avoidance of doubt any Price
Curve Credits that you are owed from the Vendor, will be equal to the
Price Curve Credit payments that you owe to the Buyer.
Therefore,
after the Final Payment and the payment of the Price Curve Credits,
there will be no funds associated with the Relevant Price Curve held
within the Discount Monies Account.
Price
Curve Credit Note Generation
The
Platform will produce a credit note in your name for the amount of
any Redeemable Price Curve Credits for you (or the Vendor as
applicable) to send to Silverwing (acting on behalf of the Vendor and
Your behalf) associated with your invoice to Silverwing for Sales to
