Partner Program Agreement
Last Modified: June 23, 2022
PLEASE READ THIS PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
This is a contract between you (the “partner”) and us (“Scotfy”). It describes how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the language is necessarily “legalese” but we have tried to make it as readable as possible.
Partner Program Agreement applies to your participation in our Partner Program. These terms are so important that we cannot have you participate in our Partner Program unless you agree to them.
We periodically update these terms. We might also choose to replace these terms in their entirety if, for example, the Partner Program changes, ends, or becomes part of an existing program. If we update or replace the terms we will let you know by email. If you don’t agree to the update or replacement, you can choose to terminate as we describe below.

Cross Sell is only available in situations where an End User contracts directly with us for provision of the Qalyptus Products in all original and ensuing transactions. Additionally, Cross Sell is only available in proposed Qualified Transactions where all involved parties — namely existing Partner(s), new potential Partner, and End User — are eligible to participate, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We will notify Partner directly when and if they become eligible for Cross Sell. Cross Sell may not be available in all countries or regions, and we reserve the right to change, suspend, limit, or cancel the program, in whole or in part, at any time by notifying the affected Partner through email, in-app or by any other reasonable form of notice.

However, we will not apply any price change to End Users who purchase Subscription Service within ten (10) days after such price change.
“Net Revenue” means the initial fee, any renewal fees, and any upgrade or downgrade fees that are actually paid to us by an End User or by Partner for an End User for the Subscription Service.

2. Non-Exclusivity
This Agreement does not create an exclusive agreement between you and us. Both you and we will have the right to recommend similar products and services of third parties and to work with other parties in connection with the design, sale, installation, implementation and use of similar services and products of third parties.
3. Qualified Transactions
a. Partner Rights and Obligations. We grant you, subject to the limitations set forth below, a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to: (i) demonstrate and promote the Qalyptus Products to your prospects and customers, and (ii) to provide End Users access to use the Qalyptus Products in accordance with this Agreement and the Customer Terms of Service, provided that End Users agreed to the Customer Terms of Service. At our discretion, we will provide limited sales support to you, such as occasional participation on a call with you and a prospect.
b. Compliance with Program Policies. You will comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at all times. Partners must meet the Active Engagement (defined in section 3.g., below) requirement for all Qualified Transactions. Failure to comply with the Partner Program Policies may result in termination of this Agreement in accordance with the “Termination” section of this Agreement or in accordance with any other termination right we may have.
c. Other Eligibility Requirements. To be eligible for a Revenue Share, a prospect must be registered, accepted and valid in accordance with the ‘Submission, Acceptance and Validity’ section. You are not eligible to receive a Revenue Share or any other compensation from us based on transactions for Other Products, based on transactions with a Qalyptus Lead (as defined below) or if: (i) such compensation is disallowed or limited by national, state or local law or regulation in France or the laws or regulations of your jurisdiction; (ii) the applicable End User objects to or prohibits such compensation or excludes such compensation from its payments to us or our Affiliates; (iii) we determine that you are acting, or have acted, in a way that has or may negatively reflect on or affect us with respect to a given transaction; (iv) the End User has paid or will pay such commissions, referral fees, or other compensation directly to you; (v) the End User participates in this Program, or (vi) for any transactions with End User that precede in time to you becoming a Partner in this Program under this Agreement. In competitive situations with other Partners, we may elect to enable Cross Sell (in situations where the Subscription Service is complementary and Cross Sell is otherwise available) or to provide the Revenue Share to the partner that actually secures the business with the End User, which may result in you being ineligible for Revenue Share, regardless of whether or not you registered the prospect.
We may terminate this Agreement and/or discontinue Revenue Share payment(s) should you fail to meet any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this subsection of the Agreement or as outlined in the Program Policies at any time.
d. Submission, Acceptance and Validity of Prospects. You must register each prospect with us using the partner tools we provide through your portal (or through a website as we may designate) prior to the close of a Qualified Transaction. To register a prospect, you must provide at least the following information about each prospect: contact first name, contact last name, email, URL and company name. We generally will accept a prospect who, in our reasonable determination: (i) is a new potential customer of ours; (ii) is not, at the time of submission or sixty (60) days prior, one of our pre-existing customers, involved in our active sales process, or your Affiliate; (iii) is a Legitimate Prospect whose contact information was legally obtained.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may choose not to accept a prospect, in our reasonable discretion. We may choose to do so at the time of your registration submission, or we may deregister and reject a prospect if we determine a prospect does not meet the criteria outlined in this Section 3.e. at any point after submission, even in cases where it was initially accepted. At the time of registration submission, we may also advise you on whether a prospect is eligible for Cross Sell.
A prospect is not considered valid: (i) if it is not registered, (ii) if it is not accepted, (iii) if it is expired, (iv) if it exceeds the registered capacity limits or other applicable limits, or (v) after this Agreement is expired or terminated.
Once the valid prospect is ready to purchase, we will, at our discretion, accept an order and provision the Subscription Service for the End User in order to complete a Qualified Transaction.
If a prospect does not purchase the Subscription Service before its registration expires, you will need to complete the registration process again in order to re-qualify for Revenue Share for that prospect. Please note that you must have a written and readily available privacy policy and you certify that you are providing the prospect’s information to us in accordance with not only all applicable laws and regulation but also in accordance with your own privacy policy.
e. Qalyptus Leads. We may choose to introduce you to, or send you information on, a prospect of ours when we identify that such prospect may have a need for the services you offer (each, a “Qalyptus Lead”). We can do the same for other partners of ours, even if it is for the same Qalyptus Lead. You may use the information about the Qalyptus Lead provided only to market and sell your services to them and not for any other purpose (unless the Qalyptus Lead otherwise consents). Immediately upon our or the Qalyptus Lead’s request, you will promptly discontinue all use of and delete the Qalyptus Lead’s information. Qalyptus Leads are considered our Confidential Information and shall be treated in accordance with the ‘Confidentiality’ section below.
f. Engagement with Prospects and End Users. We may engage with a prospect, lead or End User directly (i) to enable our Cross Sell program, (ii) to complete the subscription process, (iii) to fulfill or enforce our obligations under an agreement with such prospect, (iv) to provide support, (v) to conduct our standard marketing and sales activities with prospects; (vi) in connection with the Optional Programs, or (vii) as otherwise permitted by this Agreement.
If and when we do engage, we may choose how to engage with each prospect and may request that you collaborate with us in the engagement. Upon our request, you will provide us with the name and contact information of the prospect, and facilitate an introduction. If a prospect is not valid then we may choose to maintain it in our database and we may choose to engage with such a prospect.
Regardless of the method of purchase and which party is the contracting entity as established by the order, we require each End User to agree to the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT terms when using our products.
You will take all reasonable steps to ensure that End Users do not use the Qalyptus Products in violation of the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT terms. If you discover or have reason to believe that any End User is making use of the Qalyptus Products in violation of the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT terms, then you will immediately notify us in writing.
4. Revenue Share and Payment.
a. Requirements for Payment; Forfeiture. In order to receive payment under this Agreement, you must have: (i) agreed to the terms of this Agreement, fulfilled all eligibility requirements to be a Partner under this Agreement and are in compliance with this Agreement; (ii) provided us with all of your account information, including your bank information; and (iii) submitted to us all the necessary and valid tax documents and the documents have been approved. In order for you to receive the Revenue Share you must have submitted the required documentation set out in this section no later than thirty (30) days after the end of any given fiscal quarter. If we have not received such documentation within this timeframe, we will not process the Revenue Share payment until the next fiscal quarter payment date for applicable Qualified Transactions.
All payments by Qalyptus will be made by bank transfer and it is your responsibility to ensure that you have provided us with the most up-to-date and correct bank information to facilitate the transfer. We will not issue payment by any other means. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) if any of the requirements set forth in this section, Section 4. a., remain outstanding for six (6) months immediately following the close of a Qualified Transaction, or (ii) we have attempted to pay you a Revenue Share for a Qualified Transaction by bank transfer, and the attempt was unsuccessful (as confirmed by bank notice), to no fault of our own; and (iii) we reached out to either the Primary Contact, Billing Contact or Decision Maker Contact on your account (all of which you can update in app) to obtain the necessary information and have not received a response; and (iv) six (6) months has passed since the date of the initial, failed bank transfer described herein, then your right to receive Revenue Share arising from any and all Qualified Transactions(s) with the associated End User will be forever forfeited (each, a “Forfeited Transaction”). We will have no obligation to pay you Revenue Share associated with a Forfeited Transaction.
Once you comply with all of the requirements in this Section 4 then you will be eligible to receive Revenue Share on Qualified Transactions, as long as these Qualified Transactions do not involve the same End User associated with a Forfeited Transaction.
b. Revenue Share Payment. We, or one of our Affiliates, will pay the Revenue Share amount due to you within twenty-five (25) days after the end of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to the Net Revenue we recognize as revenue from Qualified Transactions during such quarter, multiplied by the Revenue Share percentage. We will determine the currency in which we pay the Revenue Share, as well as the applicable conversion rate. The currency in which the Revenue Share is paid in may be different from the currency that applies to the Qualified Transaction. We will not pay more than one Revenue Share or other similar referral fee on any given partner sale (unless we choose to in our discretion). We may withhold the Revenue Share payment until the Revenue Share amount that we owe you is above 100 EUR.
c. Taxes. You are responsible for payment of all taxes applicable to the Revenue Share. You will be assessed sales tax unless you provide us with a valid reseller certificate that indicates tax should not be applied to the Revenue Share amount. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any amounts owed by you to us.
d. Payment Obligations. In the event you placed the order and contracted with us directly for an End User, for payments made by credit card, you will provide us with your valid and updated credit card information or bank account information for the payment of Qalyptus Products fees. You authorize us and our Affiliates to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable. You also authorize us and our Affiliates to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party. For payments made by invoice, all amounts invoiced are due and payable within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. In the event you placed the order with us for an End User, if you do not pay fees due for an End User’s account within ten (10) days after notice of non-payment from us or our Affiliate, we may suspend the Qalyptus Products while any payment is delinquent and may charge a re-activation fee to reinstate any Qalyptus Products. We may also terminate or suspend the End User’s access to the Qalyptus Products and/or to initiate direct communication with the End User. Notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, you remain obligated to pay all fees due for our provision of the Qalyptus Products to End Users in connection with an order placed with us by you for an End User. If you placed the order with us for an End User and/or contracted with us on their behalf, you will have sole responsibility for invoicing and collecting fees for the Qalyptus Products from the End User. Your obligation to pay fees to us is not conditioned upon your receipt of payment from the End User.
5. Training and Support
a. Training and Support. We will make available to you, without charge, various webinars and other resources made available as part of our Program. We will also make available to you a Partner Toolset, accessible through your Qalyptus portal. We may change or discontinue any or all parts of the Partner Toolset, and any other Program benefits or offerings at any time without notice.
b. End User Training and Support. We will provide user training purchased by an End User as set forth in a mutually agreed upon order between the End User and Qalyptus. We may communicate directly with any End User about use of the Qalyptus Products and any support issues experienced.
c. Qalyptus Partner License. If we make a Qalyptus license available to you, then you will use the Qalyptus license solely for your own education, demonstration and evaluation purposes. We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue providing you with Qalyptus licenses at any time without prior notice to you.
6. Optional Partner Programs
We may from time to time offer you optional tools, beta testing programs or partner promotions (the “Optional Programs”). If you choose to use any Optional Programs, you grant us all rights and permissions to take all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the purpose of the Optional Programs. If the Optional Programs include our making certain promotions available to our partners, you will: (i) market and promote the promotion only to your registered and valid prospects, (ii) only market and promote the promotion individually within a distinct sales process, and not engage in any form of mass marketing of the promotion, and (iii) will follow the all the other terms and criteria applicable to that specific promotion as we designate.
