It is expected that a three year distribution agreement will be signed giving Primary Water exclusivity to distribute Qonnectis products into Australia and Russia, and all other countries worldwide excluding the UK, Ireland and China on a non-exclusive basis. The distribution agreement will be subject to minimum sales volumes and will include joint funding of specific product development.
