6. Consideration
   • Earkart shall be entitled to a consideration that equals to ten percent [11%] of the MRP of the Hearing Aid(s) (hereinafter referred to as "Consideration") sold to the Lead(s).
   • The Dealer can sell the Hearing Aid(s) to the Lead(s) at a discounted price at their own discretion. Be it mentioned that the Dealer understands that the abovementioned Consideration shall be applicable despite the discounted price, if any, being offered to the Lead(s).
7. Billing & Payment

Illustration:

If the MRP of a Hearing Aid is INR 50,000/- and the dealer gives discount of 20% on the MRP. The agreed discounted price between the Dealer and the Lead becomes INR 40,000/-

Since the Consideration owed to Earkart is 11% of MRP, i.e., INR 5,500/-, the Dealer Invoice value will be INR 34,500/-.
