IMFPA
International Master Fee Protection Agreement — formalises broker commission splits on a deal.
An IMFPA (International Master Fee Protection Agreement) formalises how broker commissions are split across a chain of intermediaries on a specific deal. It sits alongside the NCNDA and is typically signed before the SPA.
OilFlow Network supports multi-broker commission splits via dealattributions with JSON splitconfig (total must not exceed 100%). IMFPAs generated by the platform ship as DRAFT for legal review.
Red flag: an IMFPA chain with 7+ intermediaries, each demanding percentage points, usually signals that none of them are close to actual product.
