Under the terms of the agreement, DDC is contracted to drive business relationships with a number of third party entities to sell products predominently in the dermatology and cosmetic fields in the US in return for an establishment fee and royalties on the agreements executed as a result of DDC's services, paid for a fixed period net of MPL's costs of sales. The engagement of DDC is limited to the provision of the services in the US, and is for an initial one year period which may be extended by mutual agreement between MPL and DDC.

The signing of this agreement with Professor Perry Robins, M.D. (head of DDC), a high-profile Professor of Dermatology and Chief of the Mohs Micrographic surgery at New York University Medical Center for more than forty years, represents a significant milestone in the expansion of the ThermaLIFE product and its associated technologies, into the US market and the timing is especially important as it coincides with the granting of various patents covering the intellectual property in that territory.

DDC sees this as an opportunity to open up markets in the US for not only the existing product lines but also for the active ingredient to be utilized in new products and creating new business opportunities.
