of SaaS Offering is to expand Vendor’s market share in the USA. In that respect, the Reseller will represent Vendor’s interests with regard to the Customers in the broadest sense of the word, without being considered to be an authorized agent of Vendor or having a power of attorney to act on behalf of Vendor, or legal authority to bind Vendor to contractual obligations.

Vendor is entitled to make changes to the requirement for participating in training courses and Certification program at its sole discretion. The description with respect to the training courses is mentioned in the Certification program of Vendor, which is subject to periodic revision and updating. Reseller is responsible for payment of the costs for these training courses at Vendor’s then current fees, together with any costs and expenses associated with traveling to Vendor’s site for training courses. The duration of these training courses and other Certification requirements will not exceed five (5) days.

3.6 Implementation authority - In the event that one of the Reseller’s employees completes the training courses referred to in Article 3.5, the Reseller is authorized to implement SaaS Offering for Customers, which also includes the initial set-up. In this case, the provisions of Article 6 of this Agreement apply.

3.7 Rules, Regulations and Laws - Reseller covenants that all of its activities under or pursuant to this Agreement shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. In particular, but without limitation, Reseller shall be responsible for obtaining all licenses, registrations, permits and approvals which are necessary or advisable for marketing, promoting and distributing SaaS Offering in the Territory and for the performance of its duties hereunder.

3.8 Export Compliance - Regardless of any disclosure made by Reseller to Vendor of an ultimate destination of the SaaS Offering application, Reseller acknowledges that SaaS Offering and all related technical information, documents and materials are subject to export controls under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Reseller will (i) comply strictly with all legal requirements established under these controls, (ii) cooperate fully with Vendor in any official or unofficial audit or inspection that relates

4

Page 5:   · Web view2018-01-19 · SaaS Online Reseller Agreement. This . SaaS. Online. Reseller Agreement (the “Agreement”)

3.9 Reservation of Rights - Reseller does not acquire any rights, express or implied, in SaaS Offering other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. All other rights, without limitation, are reserved to Vendor.

4 Distribution Margin 4.1 Distribution Margin - The Reseller receives a distribution margin (the ‘Distribution

Margin’) if and to the extent that the Customer purchases a subscription for SaaS Offering via the URL made available by Vendor to the Reseller (and thereby executes an SaaS Offering Agreement with Vendor), and Customer continues to pay the monthly subscription fee. The Distribution Margin equals __________ percent (____%) of the monthly subscription price paid by the Customer during the thirty-six (36) months after purchasing the subscription. Except to the extent otherwise provide in this Agreement, the Reseller will be entitled to the Distribution Margin only after a Customer executes a subscription agreement to SaaS Offering, or executes any Additional Orders, regardless of when these are placed. Reseller will be entitled to continue to receive a Distribution Margin on any subscription renewals for the SaaS Offering.

4.2 Direct Market - In the event that one of the Reseller’s prospects executes a subscription for SaaS Offering directly with Vendor, the Reseller will not receive a Distribution Margin.

4.3 Quarterly payment – The Reseller will not be entitled to the payment of the Distribution Margin over the subscription amount until Vendor has invoiced and received payment for the subscription fee from Customer.

4.4 End of subscription - In the event that a Customer provides notice to Vendor that it wishes to cancel or terminate the subscription for SaaS Offering, the Reseller retains the right to the Distribution Margin until the agreement with the Customer ends, provided that the Customer has fulfilled its payment obligations to Vendor. Thereafter, Vendor’s obligation to pay the Distribution Margin to Reseller will terminate.

4.5 Suspension of payments or bankruptcy of Customer - In the event that a Customer has filed for a suspension of payments or has been declared bankrupt, insolvent, or ceased to

5

Page 6:   · Web view2018-01-19 · SaaS Online Reseller Agreement. This . SaaS. Online. Reseller Agreement (the “Agreement”)

conduct business activities, the allocation and payment of the Distribution Margin to the Reseller will immediately cease.

4.6 Currency - All fees, charges, uses and other sums set forth herein are expressed in and shall be paid in United States Dollars, unless otherwise agreed by Vendor, and are non-refundable.

4.7 Taxes - In addition to any other sums payable hereunder, Reseller shall pay to or reimburse Vendor upon demand for amounts equal to any taxes, however designated, arising from or based upon this Agreement, the license granted hereunder, or any associated media and documentation furnished for their use, but not including any taxes based on Vendor's net income, and related interest and penalties, if any, imposed by governmental authority at any time.

5 Support 5.1 First-line support - Vendor provides first-line support to the Customers, in accordance

with Article 12 of the SaaS Offering Services Agreement. The Reseller is entitled to execute a contract for supplementary support services (e.g., consulting services to provide product support) for SaaS Offering directly with the Customer. Where provided, these support services are offered in addition to the support to be provided by Vendor. Reseller shall be free to establish its own pricing for Reseller’s provision of such supplementary support services to Customers, and Reseller may enter into direct contracts with Customer for additional services described in Article 6.1 below; provided, however Reseller will pay to Vendor a commission equal to ______% of all fees charged to Customer for any support services or consultancy services relating to the SaaS Offering. Commission payments are payable and due to Vendor 45 days after the end of the month in which Reseller invoices Customer for the services. Reseller is solely responsible for assessing the credit-worthiness of Customer for any direct contracts it enters into for support services; provided, however, Reseller’s obligation to pay Vendor commissions will be forgiven in the event Reseller is unable to collect its fees for any contract for services relating to the SaaS Offering.

6 Services to Customers 6.1 Consultancy services – Any/all consultancy services provided to any Customer that are

directly or indirectly related to the SaaS Offering – whether or not specific to support for the SaaS Offering – will be quoted and contracted for directly between Reseller and Customer. Consulting services may include assistance with implementation and training for the SaaS Offering, outsourcing of Customer’s information technology requirements, or any other services related to the SaaS Offering (examples of supplementary services are defining layouts, setting up calculation methods, import definitions, and data migration).

6

Page 7:   · Web view2018-01-19 · SaaS Online Reseller Agreement. This . SaaS. Online. Reseller Agreement (the “Agreement”)

Reseller will remit to Vendor a commission equal to ______% of all fees charged to Customer for any services and support relating to the SaaS Offering, with Reseller’s payment obligations to Vendor following the process described in Article 5.1, above. For clarity, nothing in this provision will be read to preclude Vendor from directly entering into contracts for support or consulting services with any Customer in the event that the Reseller is not able to, or elects not to, provide the support services or consulting services.

6.2 Coordination of consultancy services - Vendor will provide the Reseller with an overview of the recommended standard number of consultancy days/hours necessary for the implementation of the SaaS Offering application. The Reseller will directly contract with and invoice the Customer for any support or consulting services provided to Customer by Reseller. Reseller shall be free to establish its own pricing and contract terms for Reseller’s provision of such consultancy services to Customers; provided, however, at all times Reseller shall remain obligated to pay Vendor the commissions described in Articles 5.1 and 6.1, above.

7 Switching Resellers 7.1 Re-activation Distribution Margin – Former direct customers of Vendor that switch to

the Reseller and re-subscribe via the Reseller URL for a subscription to SaaS Offering, may be considered as a Customer as defined in this Agreement, and therefore may be included in the Distribution Margin that Vendor pays to the Reseller, unless otherwise determined in writing by Vendor. Reseller’s eligibility for Distribution Margin for any re-activation, transfer or re-registration by a Customer will be at Vendor’s sole discretion.

7.2 Switch initiated by Customer - In the event a Customer switches to a different reseller, the new reseller will not receive any Distribution Margin for original subscription orders for that Customer. After the switch has been made, the former reseller will still receive the Distribution Margin for the remaining period of the original twenty-four (24) months following the conclusion of the subscription. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated hereinabove, the Distribution Margin over the Additional Orders which are placed by the new reseller, after the Customer has switched resellers during the original twenty-four (24) month period, will be allocated to the new reseller until the end of such twenty-four (24) month period.
