Vereinbarung

This Channel Partner Agreement (“Agreement”) is by and between Jotform and each party that has been accepted as a Partner in the Jotform Channel Partner Program (“Program”) after the party has registered on the Program web page and submitted an application (“Application”) on that page to participate in the Program (“Partner” or “you”, as used herein). This Agreement also binds Jotform. See Section 11N below for more information.

This Agreement becomes effective as of the date that Partner submits its Application. Herein, Jotform and Partner are referred to each as a “Party”, and together as the “Parties”. Partner shall be considered to have been accepted by Jotform as a partner in the Program unless Jotform has rejected the Application.

The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the Parties’ rights and responsibilities regarding Partner’s participation in the Program. The Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Resell Rights / Use Rights

A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Jotform grants to Partner and Partner accepts, the non-exclusive right during the term hereof to purchase, promote and resell to third parties subscriptions (“Subscriptions”) for the access and use of the Platform. Third parties to whom or which Partner resells Subscriptions are referred to herein as “Partner Customers”. Partner shall also have the right to access and use the Platform for Partner’s own internal business purposes, provided that Partner has paid Jotform for the Seats (as defined in Section 2A below) that Partner wishes to use for such internal business purposes.

B. In exercising its rights under Section 1A, Partner shall have the option to (i) resell Subscriptions on a standalone basis, or with Subscriptions being part of or along with or incorporated into other products or services offered by Partner to Partner Customers; and (ii) “white label” the Platform, so that it appears to be offered directly by Partner to Partner Customers, with no mention of Jotform. If Partner chooses to white label the Platform, Section 5 hereof shall apply.

C. Partner acknowledges and agrees that its rights under this Agreement are non-exclusive only, that Partner may only resell to Partner Customers, and that Partner may not resell to other resellers or distributors. Jotform reserves the right to appoint other partners, resellers, and distributors, and to continue to make direct and indirect sales of subscriptions to the Platform and of any other Jotform products and services, worldwide, without restriction, to any person or entity, without notice to or liability or responsibility to Partner.

D. Partner shall not modify, alter, or change the Platform or any aspect or component thereof in any way, except as may be allowed under Section 5 hereof.

E. Partner may not at any time resell or use more Seats than Partner has purchased from Jotform, nor shall Partner resell any seats which have previously been re-sold or used by Partner for its internal business purposes.

F. In order to assist Partner in its participation in the Program, Jotform agrees to make the assets, resources and training (collectively “Assets”) available to Partner described on the Program web page. Jotform shall have sole discretion over the nature, content, and amount of the Assets that it makes available to Program partners, including whether to continue or cease offering any and all Assets for such purposes.

2. Orders / Order Acceptance

A. For each Partner Customer from whom Partner has obtained a commitment to purchase a Subscription, Partner shall place an order with Jotform for the number of Seats that the Partner Customer will use. “Seats” means the number of Permitted Users for which the Partner Customer will pay.

B. Initial orders and subsequent orders (each an “Order”) shall be made by Partner using the means and in the form required by Jotform. No Order shall be binding upon Jotform until accepted by Jotform in writing. Jotform reserves the right to reject an Order for any reason whatsoever.

C. Following Jotform’s acceptance of an Order:

(i) Jotform will invoice Partner for the number of ordered seats, and for any other fees required by Jotform, such as for SSO integration. Partner agrees to pay all such invoices on a net thirty (30) days basis. Jotform will charge sales tax on Orders only if it is required to do so by law. Partner assumes and accepts responsibility for all other types of taxes levied or assessed on Partner by governmental entities as a result of Partner’s participation in the Program; and

(ii) Partner shall enter into a written agreement with the Partner Customer on whose behalf the Order was placed that includes a requirement that the Partner Customer and its permitted users of the Platform each agree to comply with the Platform terms of use (“the Terms of Use”) or, if Jotform has agreed that Partner may white label the Platform, the terms will be on the Partner’s site; in such case, the Terms of Use on Partner’s site must be identical to the terms of use, except that Partner may delete all references therein to Jotform. The Partner Customer shall not be provided with access to or use of the Platform until Partner has provided Jotform with confirmation or proof that the Partner Customer has agreed to the Terms of Use.

3. Targets / Leads / Discounts / Finder’s Fees / Other

A. Targets. In order to remain in the Program as a Partner, Partner must meet a minimum annual dollar value target for all total Orders made and paid for in the aggregate during each year (“Year”) during the Term (“Target”). The Target applicable to Partner shall be filled in by Jotform on the Order form. A For purposes of this Section 3, “Year” as used herein refers to each twelve (12) month period beginning on the Effective Date hereof during the Term, and does not mean a calendar year. For example, if the Effective Date is July 1, 2023, Partner shall have met its Target by the close of business on June 30, 2024; likewise, the next Year for Target purposes would begin on July 1, 2024 and end on June 30, 2025.

B. Leads. During the Term hereof, for each prospective Partner Customer (each such party a “Lead”), Partner shall register the Lead with Jotform, using the means provided for the same by Jotform (web page form or other). When registering the Lead, Partner shall indicate on the Lead registration page or form whether Partner intends to pursue and close the Lead (“Regular Lead”), or whether Partner is simply choosing to provide the Lead to Jotform for Jotform to pursue and close (“Referral Lead”).

(i) Regular Leads. For Regular Leads, Partner shall have sixty (60) days to close the deal with the Lead. If Partner has not closed the lead by the end of the 60 days, Jotform shall have the option to give Partner an extension of time of Jotform’s choosing, or for Jotform to pursue the lead itself. For all such Leads, Jotform shall in its sole discretion choose whether or not to provide technical or other support or assistance to Partner and/or such party to help Partner close the deal.

(a) For Regular Leads where Partner ultimately closes the deal with the Lead, and Jotform has accepted the Order, Partner shall be entitled to the applicable discount indicated on the Order form (“Discount”).

(b) For Regular Leads where Jotform ultimately closes the deal with the Lead, and Jotform has accepted the Order, Partner shall be entitled to a flat ten-percent (10%) of the fees paid to Jotform by the Partner Customer for the first year of the subscription (“Finders Fee”); Partner shall not receive a commission for any subscription period or term beyond that first year.

(ii) Referral Leads. For all Referral Leads, Jotform shall attempt to close the deal with the Lead. Where Jotform ultimately closes the deal with the Lead, and Jotform has accepted the Order, Partner shall be entitled to the same Finders Fee described in Section 3B(i)(b) above.

C. Changes to Discounts and Finders Fees. Partner agrees that Jotform may during the Term change the amounts/percentages of both Discounts and Finders Fees, provided that such changes apply to Partners generally and not just to any specific Partner. Any such changes shall be applicable to all Leads registered by the Partner after the announced effective date of such changes.

D. Other. Jotform shall have the sole discretion to reject any lead presented to Jotform for registration, whether because Jotform has previously been in contact with the party or known of the party as a potential Jotform customer or for any other reason; Jotform shall have no obligations to Partner whatsoever with respect to rejected leads. Jotform may, at its discretion, but without obligation to Partner, choose to share potential Partner Customer leads with Partner. Jotform shall not be required to share any leads with Partner. If Jotform shares a lead with Partner, Partner shall have two (2) business days to advise Jotform in writing that Partner intends to pursue the lead; if Partner fails to so advise Jotform, Jotform shall be free to pursue the lead itself, directly.

E. Promotions. The Parties may choose to jointly engage in activities to promote the Platform, on mutually- agreed terms, but neither Party shall be required to participate in such joint promotions.

4. Other Partner Obligations / Agreements

During the Term hereof, Partner further agrees that:

A. Partner shall provide first-level technical support for Partner Customers. lf, after reasonable efforts, Partner is unable to resolve technical issues with the Platform, Partner may direct the party to Jotform Enterprise support via the enterprise support ticketing system for assistance; in such cases, Jotform will use commercially reasonable efforts to help the party resolve the technical issues. Partner assumes and accepts all responsibility for all levels of non-technical support;

i) The Order form shall identify Partner as intending to white label the Platform; and

ii) Partner shall have the right to remove all references to Jotform in the Platform and in any associated websites and documentation provided by Partner in connection with the Platform, such that the Platform shall appear to third parties to be offered and operated by Partner rather than Jotform.

Partner accepts and assumes all responsibility for any and all things it may do in connection with its white labeling of the Platform. Partner forever fully releases Jotform from all responsibility therewith, and Partner agrees that Partner shall be solely liable to third parties for any issues such parties have in connection therewith and for any legal claims such parties may make in connection therewith.
