The Application Material Delivering

In order to get the most suitable royalty policy and establish win-win partnerships with ExperExchange, Licensee is required to provide a detailed system description or demo of the application, and the user guide.

Royalty Reporting

Licensee is required to submit the royalty report within 10 days after the last day of the quarter on all products that you and your affiliates distributed to your customers or deploy to your users, which have OpenRTK® 6.0/7.0 integrated.

Technical Support and Services

Licensee shall be solely responsible for providing technical support and other services to distributors, resellers or end-users of the Licensee Applications.
