The Commission Contract
At the same time a Commission Contract was concluded between Uniserve and Mr Popeck/Caramel under which Uniserve agreed to pay a commission on each shipment of masks, calculated by reference to the date that each shipment arrived in the United Kingdom and was cleared by customs. The contract contained an acknowledgement by Mr Popeck/Caramel ‘that this Agreement does not represent a commitment by Uniserve to purchase any Goods from the Supplier’ (i.e. Hitex).
