Jotform Agency Partner Agreement

This Referral Partner Agreement (“Agreement”) is by and between Jotform Inc. (“Jotform”) and the party whose name and signature are affixed below (“Applicant” or, if accepted as a referral partner, “Referral Partner”). This Agreement shall become effective as of the date (“Effective Date”) that the party, after having applied to become a Referral Partner, has been accepted by Jotform as a Referral Partner. Jotform and Partner are referred to herein each as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

This Agreement will not apply unless Jotform has accepted the party as a Referral Partner.

The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the Parties’ rights and responsibilities regarding Partner referring potential customers to Jotform, in exchange for a commission when the party becomes a paying Jotform customer, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as follows:

1. Application / Acceptance

A. To become a Referral Partner, the party must apply on the web page provided by Jotform. Jotform will provide the link to such web page to the party by email. Jotform, in its sole discretion, may accept the application. If Jotform accepts the application, the applicant shall be considered a Referral Partner. Referral Partner shall, upon such acceptance, be bound by the terms hereof, as shall Jotform.

B. Partner may not be or act as both a Referral Partner and an Affiliate Partner at the same time. Information about Jotform’s partner programs is set forth here. This Agreement shall not apply or be enforceable by Partner if Partner is an Affiliate Partner at the time Partner applies to become a Referral Partner; if Partner wishes to become a Referral Partner, Partner must first formally withdraw as an Affiliate Partner.

2. Referrals

A. Partner shall, during the Term hereof, use best efforts to consistently and regularly refer potential customers (“Potential Customer(s)”) to Jotform. A Potential Customer is one who/that meets all of the following criteria:

(i) The party is, at the time of the referral, one who has discussed Jotform with the Referral Partner within the prior thirty (30) days; and

(ii) In such discussions, the party expressed to Referral Partner what reasonably appears to be genuine interest in obtaining a subscription from Jotform; and

(iii) Jotform (a) does not already have an existing or prior business relationship with such party and (b) has not already been pursuing or intending to pursue such a relationship with the party; and

(iv) Referral Partner has made a referral of the Potential Customer to Jotform (“Referral”) by registering the party on the registration web page provided by Jotform.

B. Jotform shall consider all Referrals in good faith. Jotform in its sole discretion (i) may reject or not pursue any Referral for any reason, (ii) shall determine the efforts it expends, if any, in attempting to get the party to sign up for a subscription, (iii) shall determine the price and the fees of and pertaining to the party’s subscription, and (iv) may terminate its relationship with the party at any time for any business reason.

C. A party who is the subject of a Referral and who signs up for and pays for a Subscription shall be called a “Customer” for purposes of this Agreement.

D. Referrals from multiple partners to the same Potential Customer will be processed on a first-in basis. If two partners refer the same party (registering them as required in Section 2A(iv) above), any Commission(s) to be paid will be paid to the partner who submitted the partner who first made the referral. Jotform reserves the right to split the Commission among two or more partners if in its sole discretion paying a Commission to only the first partner would be unfair to the other partner(s).

E. If and when Partner (i) refers another potential partner to Jotform, for that other potential partner to become a Referral Partner, and (ii) that party is accepted by Jotform as a Referral Partner, and (iii) that other party / Referral Partner refers a party to Jotform that becomes a Customer, and (iv) that Customer pays Jotform US$1,000 or more in subscription fees, Jotform will pay Partner a one-time commission of US$250.

3. Commissions / Payments

A. Jotform shall pay Partner shall be paid a commission (“Commission”) of thirty-percent (30%) of the applicable fees actually paid to Jotform by Customers, as follows:

(i) Commissions shall be based on basic subscription fees and fees for expansions, renewals, and upgrades.

(ii) Commissions shall not be based on (a) any of the following: one-time fees or charges, including but not limited to fees or charges for onboarding, server set-up, increases in storage space, and the like; fees for professional services engagements, amounts paid by the Customer for taxes, or for interest that has accrued due to late payment by the Customer, or (b) refunds: Where Jotform has refunded money to a Customer, this will reduce the amount of the payment deemed made by the Customer; if the Commission has already been paid before the refund was made, an adjustment (reduction) to the next Commission paid to Partner will be made.

(iii) Commissions shall be processed by Jotform within sixty (60) days after the Customer has paid Jotform.

Commission examples:

#1: An Enterprise Customer pays Jotform $10,000 in January (Enterprise fees are usually due in the first month of a 12 month subscription period): Partner would be due a Commission of $3,000 (30% of $10,000).

#2: Same as Example #1, but the Customer incurs additional fees of $5,000 after paying the $10,000, such as fees to add additional users or for increased storage space, and Customer pays the $5,000 in March of the same year: In this case, Partner would be due an additional Commission of $1,500 (30% of $5,000).

#3: A Customer with a monthly “Gold” subscription ($99 due each month based on the prices applicable as of the Effective Date of this Agreement) pays $99 each month: Partner would be due a Commission of $29.70 each month, beginning in the month after the Customer’s first payment of $99.

#4: Same as Example #3, but the Customer pays for the full year up front for a BSG annual plan: Partner would receive 1/12 of the total Commission owed per month starting two months after the Customer makes the up-front payment.

(iv) Partner shall receive such commissions for as long as the Customer remains a Jotform subscriber.

4. No Agency
