In most cases, BurnstopUSA is sold strictly on a License agreement basis. A customer can buy a BurnstopUSA license for a state, region or a specific vertical market. Pricing is based on population. This gives the licensee exclusive rights to the territory but the licensee will of course be held to minimum requirements to maintain the license. A customer can also, as an option buy the territory and have rights to all verticals/applications in the territory. In other situations, such as certain government applications, BurnstopUSA will work with the customer on bulk purchase agreements.
The agreement itself is very unique for the industry and has a number of powerful benefits for the licensee that can make the association and partnership a very profitable one. Everything from packaging to territory and vertical market designation is designed for everyone to win in the agreement.
