The (upgraded) Rules of Acquisition Accords (MDoA)
Preamble: The best deal is the one that brings the most profit. CLAWS and The First Order have found our previous contract to be most profitable. Therefore, we are expanding our contract as follows: Article I, Rule 17: A Contract is a Contract is a Contract...but only between Ferengi
Both parties hereby agree to maintain harmonious relations; to cooperate on any and all business matters, and disputes in the pursuit of profit Article II, Rule 35: Peace is Good for Business
Both parties hereby agree to not interfere with each other's profit margins. Neither shall either party commit acts of military aggression, nor acts of industrial sabotage nor copyright infringement, nor embezzlement. Established and regular commerce may continue with a competing third-party but the other party is encouraged to consider other revenue streams. Article III, Rule 74: Knowledge equals Profit
Both parties hereby agree that any intelligence or otherwise sensitive information shared between the two will not be passed on to any third party without permission. Never let the competition know what you’re thinking. Both parties also agree to share information with the other party relevant to their profit, including all potential threats against the other. Article IV, Rule 34 and Rule 125: War is Good for Business, but You Can’t Make a Deal if You’re Dead.
If one party finds itself being worked out of the market by another enterprise, the other party shall back the one being moved against. The parties are unable to continue the contract if one is taken out of business after all. On the other hand, if one party finds a good opportunity to take out a rival, it shall be shared with the other and the other may, but is not obligated, to share in the venture. Article V, Rule 57: Good customers are almost as rare as Latinum - treasure them.
Both parties agree to open their markets up to one another, free of tariff or tax, so that they may both benefit from a substantial profit. Article VI, Rule 6: Never allow family to stand in the way of Opportunity
Should either party wish to pursue more profitable ventures, they are required to notify the respective parties within 96 hours of nullification.
