It includes comprehensive provisions addressing partnership terms, revenue sharing, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and compliance with Canadian federal and provincial regulations. The Master Partner Agreement serves as an umbrella agreement under which specific partnership activities can be conducted through additional schedules or statements of work.
