Dear cousin,

As we have discussed previously, please find enclosed a draft contract agreement with the Banda Rossa, for potential services we professionals can render your organisation.

Services of the Banda Rossa

Within this contract are contained the terms of service between the involved parties, the Banda Rossa and the Torchbearers, henceforth referred to as the contractor and contractee. Both parties are of clear mind, health and wit during the drafting and signing of said contract.

Laid out are the terms of service, provided by the contractor and agreed upon by the contractee:

- The contractor shall make the contractee aware of any attempt by a third party to involve the contractor in actions against the contractee, in order to give the contractee the opportunity to provide a suitable counter-offer within a reasonable timeframe. This includes, but is not limited to: attempted bans from the Krak and it's environs, use of the contractor in covert or overt aggression against the contractee, use of the contractor's knowledge of the contractee to blackmail or otherwise inconvenience the contractee. These examples given should form the baseline of this clause, and should be interpreted in good faith when a member of the contractor is approached by a third party intend on causing inconvenience or harm to the contractee.


- The contractor shall render service in providing an armed escort upon request of the contractee, dependent on the contractor's current state and ability, and on the contractee's requirements. The contractor shall be paid a sum in dinars agreed upon between both parties at the time of this service. The contractor shall provide it's own arms, armour and accessories to outfit the escort, and the contractee shall do the same. Supplies for rest shall be provided by the contractee, as shall any fares required for travel by land or sea. The contractee shall have reasonable priority in any accountrements found, with anything left over to be divided amongst the members of the contractor present.


- The contractor shall not independently use knowledge gained through execution of this contract to inconvenience, harm, or otherwise be used to the detriment of the contractee, for the duration of the contract and thereafter. Anything of this sort which may have reputational damage or otherwise harm the contractee shall be kept securely or destroyed until such a time as it no longer poses a risk. Upon request, the contractee can request information held within the contractor's records, to which the contractor will provide a response within a reasonable timeframe if such information is held.


- Both parties shall endeavour to make themselves available within reason at the behest of the other party to discuss items pertaining to this contract, in order to avoid potential misunderstandings or damage to either parties' reputations or persons.


- This contract shall be valid for four weeks (28 days) from the point of signature from both involved parties. A bond of 1500 dinars shall be paid weekly from the date of commencement and every seven days thereafter until the four-week period is up, at which point the contract may be renegotiated. If the contractee desires to break contract before the alloted period is over, a lump sum of 80% of the remaining cost shall be paid to the contractor, and the contract nullified.

[Space is left, for a pair of signatures.]
