• Non-Circumvention: You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation we receive for providing Customers with specialized Employees comes through the fees described in Section 10, and that in exchange a substantial value to Customers is the relationships they make with Employees identified through the Services (each, an “Edge-Sourced Employee”). For 36 months from the time you retain an Edge-Sourced Employee through the Services as a Customer (the “Non-Circumvention Period”), you agree to use the Edge Platform as your exclusive method to pay and receive services from such Edge-Sourced Employee. You shall pay to Edge an amount of $97,200.00 for each Edge-Sourced Employee who you pay or from whom you receive services during the Non-Circumvention Period in violation of this Section 8 (each, a “Non-Circumvention Breach”). The parties intend that these damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that Edge’s harm caused by a Non-Circumvention Breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a Non-Circumvention Breach. Your payment of the liquidated damages is your sole liability and entire obligation and Edge’s exclusive remedy for any Non-Circumvention Breach. You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a Non-Circumvention Breach, and after giving ten days written notice to you, Edge Group may charge all funds and liquidated damages due hereunder against any one of your payment methods held on file.
