- All interested buyers of services shall be identified in writing by Broker to Seller (“Identified Business”) before they are deemed covered by this Agreement.
[DELETE THIS COMMENT AFTER YOU GET THE POINT]
(This section expects the broker to identify the specific buyers in writing since this is a general understanding between an unspecified seller and you (the broker). Since the buyers will be different, you have to add another document which will be an addendum to this agreement. The added document shall contain the name and all details of the buyer, the specific services to be bought, the payment terms and the duration of each transaction thereof.)
- This Agreement shall not apply to and Broker shall not be entitled to collect a Fee for:

- Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, letter of intent and negotiations, both written and oral, among the parties with respect thereto.
