Loftware Partner Program General Terms and Conditions

1.	Overview

1.1.	These Channel Partner General Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") govern the commercial relationship between the Loftware Group Affiliate (“Loftware”) and the channel partner and its Affiliates (“Channel Partner”), which purchases the Products (as defined herein) either directly from Loftware or from its distributor. 

1.2.	Loftware wishes to uphold and maintain the reputation of the Products and the Loftware Trademarks, as contemplated under these Terms and Conditions.  Loftware is further determined to ensure that the End Users of the Products receive high quality Products, support and maintenance services provided under a Software Maintenance Agreement, Professional Services, and specific guidance in relation to the provision of the Products. The sale, configuration and after sales services in relation to the Products require specific knowledge. Therefore, all Channel Partners must be members of the Loftware Partner Program and fulfill the conditions contained therein, as stated in Section 2.1 below. Channel Partners are required at all times to maintain and abide by these Terms and Conditions and the Channel Partner’s corresponding obligations contained herein. 

1.3.	The provisions of these Terms and Conditions apply to all Channel Partners in the Partner Program.

2.	Appointment

2.1.	Subject to approval by Loftware, Loftware appoints the Channel Partner as a member of the Partner Program to market and sell the Products on a non-exclusive basis within its Region.  The Channel Partner hereby accepts the above appointment as a condition for becoming a member of the Partner Program and agrees to comply with these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the Partner Program, the details of which can be found at https://www.loftware.com/partners/channel-partner-program, and which may changed or be amended by Loftware from time to time. 

2.2.	Loftware appoints the Channel Partner to resell Products to End Users in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, the End User License Agreement, available at https://www.loftware.com/about-us/legal/end-user-license-agreement and the Master Software Subscription and Services Agreement, available at https://www.loftware.com/about-us/legal/master-software-subscription-and-services-agreement.  Such appointment is on a non-exclusive, non-transferrable basis, within the agreed Region for the Term. The EULA and/or MSSA defines the grant of license, scope of license, limitation of license for the Software provided to End Users by Loftware as well as the warranties and liability of Loftware, in relation to the Software provided to End Users by Loftware. Sales to third parties that further sublicense Products to End Users require the advance written approval by Loftware Channel Partner Program management.  

2.3.	For the purposes of reselling the Products to End Users (the “Purpose”), Loftware grants the Channel Partner a non-exclusive right to utilize the Products, but solely to the extent as is necessary for the Purpose. For clarity, the Channel Partner shall be permitted to use the Products for test, demonstration, quality assurance, backup or other similar non-productive and/or non-commercial environment purposes in the course of reselling the Products to End Users. For the avoidance of doubt, the Channel Partner shall be prohibited from using the non-commercial Loftware licenses or Software for any commercial purposes or other purpose other than the Purpose. 

2.4.	The rights and obligations contained herein are binding on the Channel Partner throughout the validity of the business relationship between Loftware and the Channel Partner pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

2.5.	Loftware reserves the unrestricted right to sell, license, market, reference and distribute or to grant to others the right to sell, license, market, reference and distribute the Products worldwide. All rights not specifically and expressly granted in writing to the Channel Partner under these Terms and Conditions are hereby expressly reserved by Loftware. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed or interpreted as preventing Loftware from marketing, promoting, distributing, or supporting the Products to any persons worldwide either directly or via other distributors, partners, agents, or assigns.

5.3.	Channel Partner must complete a project registration form before Loftware’s pre-sales specialists technically scope the project. Scoping is a Pre-Defined Service which may be purchased from Loftware and is delivered by the Loftware pre-sales team. Where a Channel Partner has registered a project, the Channel Partner is entitled to request assistance from Loftware’s pre-sales specialists or technical support personnel.

6.3.	Channel Partner agrees that if Loftware decides, in its sole and reasonable discretion, that Channel Partner’s online presence is not materially in accordance with the Guidelines, the Channel Partner will be required to change and update its website in accordance with Loftware’s instructions. Channel Partner agrees that failure to comply with Loftware’s instructions in a reasonable and timely manner will be cause for termination of Channel Partner as a member of the Partner Program under these Terms and Conditions. 

6.4.	Channel Partner may not represent Loftware online without complying with the Guidelines for e-commerce platforms.
6.5.	For the avoidance of doubt, Channel Partners that offer Products on their websites must be members of the Partner Program.

Website offers for these Products on the Channel Partner’s website should indicate ‘Request a Consultation’, ‘Price on Application’, or similar phrasing indicating that further consultation is required.

7.	Marketing and Trademark Usage 

7.1.	Channel Partner shall promote the Products on its website(s). 

7.2.	Channel Partner shall take full advantage of the Digital Partner Program, as documented at http://www.loftware.com/partners-pages.

7.6.	Channel Partner, in its use of any Loftware digital imagery and/or Trademarks, will at all times act in a manner that preserves the rights of Loftware as the owner of the imagery and/or Trademarks and shall not assert, claim or contest, nor shall there accrue to Channel Partner, any right in the digital imagery and/or Trademarks. Channel Partner shall not be entitled to use any other imagery/Trademarks other than those supplied by Loftware for the promotion of the Products for the Purpose. In no event shall the Channel Partner use digital imagery and/or Trademarks in a manner that is misleading or provides any impression that it owns or is the developer of Loftware’s digital imagery and/or Trademarks or Products. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the Loftware. If Loftware, in its sole and reasonable discretion, determines that any use of Loftware’s digital imagery and/or Trademark is inaccurate, misleading, or not within the scope of the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions, Channel Partner will promptly cease such use and change or correct such use at its own expense as directed by Loftware.

Channel Partner may not escalate issues to Loftware on behalf of End Users which have not entered into a Software Maintenance Agreement (“SMA”) with Loftware. For clarity, SMA’s are purchased separately from on premise products, unless noted otherwise by Loftware, while standard SMA’s are bundled with the recurring fees for Subscription Services. Channel Partner shall be responsible for ensuring technical support is provided where End User and Loftware do not have any SMA in place. 

8.2.	The Channel Partner may sell Software Maintenance Agreements to End Users as part of the Partner Program for the Purpose. Loftware technical support may receive and respond to calls, emails and web enquiries directly from the Channel Partner’s End Users whose Products are under an active SMA, and from the Channel Partner on behalf of End Users whose Products are under an active SMA.

8.3.	Applications, configurations, integrations, or software otherwise not included in the Products by Loftware are the responsibility of the Channel Partner to support. For the avoidance of doubt, Loftware technical support will direct calls, emails and web enquiries which concern applications, configurations, integrations, or software otherwise not included in the Products by Loftware back to the Channel Partner.  

8.4.	During the Term Loftware agrees to provide the Channel Partner with updates to the Software as and when such updates are released and provided by Loftware. Updates may only be supplied to End Users if they have an active SMA with Loftware or if such updates are paid for separately by the End User as a product upgrade approved by Loftware. For clarity, Loftware applies updates automatically to NiceLabel Cloud Accounts as part of the bundled SMA with a NiceLabel Cloud subscription.

9.	Professional Services 
        
9.1.	Loftware delivers two models of Professional Services to its Channel Partners: 

a)	those that are Pre-Defined Services; and
b)	those that require a SOW.

9.2.	Pre-Defined Services are described on Loftware’s price list (“Price List”) and may be quoted by the Loftware pre-sales and sales teams respectively. Channel Partner may resell Pre-Defined Services using the Loftware Part Number (which is referenced as “SKU”) on the Price List without the need for an SOW. For clarity, Professional Services that require an SOW include Project Delivery Services. 

9.3.	Professional services that require a SOW will be carried out based on the SOW executed between the End User and the Channel Partner and the subsequent mutually agreed SOW between the Channel Partner and Loftware. Loftware will provide Channel Partner with a SOW following a pre-defined, chargeable technical scoping or discovery workshop. Channel Partner will create a back-to-back, mirror version of the deliverables described in the SOW. Channel Partner will provide the back-to-back, mirror version to the End User for approval and sign off. Channel Partner and Loftware will execute the SOW to authorize the Loftware Professional Services team to commence the scope of work as set forth in the applicable SOW.

9.4.	Each SOW shall be deemed to incorporate the provisions of these Terms and Conditions as though such provisions were set forth therein in their entirety, and shall set forth: (i) a project overview; (ii) a description of the Professional Services to be performed by Loftware; (iii) the fees to be paid by Channel Partner for the Professional Services; (iv) any general or project-specific assumptions; and (v) any additional terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon by Loftware and Channel Partner.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of a SOW, or a purchase order (“PO”) issued for payment under the SOW, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions will control.     

9.5.	After execution of a SOW between Channel Partner and Loftware, the Professional Services to be provided under that SOW may only be changed through a change order mutually executed by the Parties as defined in the applicable SOW. 

9.6.	Loftware may use subcontractors for the delivery or performance of Professional Services.

9.7.	Deliverables (as defined in an order or SOW) shall be deemed accepted by the Channel Partner in accordance with the terms of the applicable order or SOW.

9.8.	Loftware will invoice Channel Partner or Channel Partner’s distributor against agreed milestones. Except as otherwise provided in a Statement of Work, Loftware shall invoice Channel Partner on a monthly basis, in arrears, for all fees, taxes and expenses that have been earned or incurred by Loftware or its personnel during that month in connection with its performance of such Professional Services.  Except as otherwise provided in a Statement of Work, Company agrees to pay such invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days of the date of the applicable invoice. 

9.9.	Loftware is only responsible for delivering the Professional Services described and defined in the SOW or, in the case of Pre-Defined Services, in the Price List.

10.	Products Purchased Directly from Loftware for Resale 

10.1.	Loftware agrees to sell the Products to Channel Partner for the Purpose, as set forth in Section 2.3, and apply discounts to the Channel Partner’s PO’s as set forth in Partner Program Relationship Document and subject to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions. Channel Partner shall pay all fees, as set forth in the applicable order, as set forth in Section 12.4. 

10.2.	Orders. All Product orders placed by the Channel Partner to Loftware directly shall be in writing and shall be subject to these Terms and Conditions. All Product orders must follow Loftware’s instructions or utilize Loftware’s order form, and always include the following information: purchase order number, Loftware part number, description, number of printer seats, unit quantity, unit purchase price, total price and End User details including but not limited to the contracting legal entity, address, and primary point of contact with associated email address. Channel Partner agrees to provide End User details as well as term start and end dates when ordering and purchasing a SMA and Subscription Services. The order is only deemed processed in case of written order confirmation issued by Loftware. Loftware shall confirm number of seats, license restrictions, all other matters regarding licensing, and in case of the SMA and Subscription Services, determine the commencement date as well as end date of any such SMA or Subscription Services in the written order confirmation or in the applicable invoice. Loftware reserves the right to reject any order that does not conform to these order requirements. For clarity, a Product order for the sale and purchase of the Products shall not be fulfilled until a Channel Partner’s order has been processed and confirmed by Loftware in writing. 

10.3.	For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms and Conditions shall supersede any provisions of any PO or other documentation from the Channel Partner which conflict or are inconsistent with, vary from or are in addition to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, and any such provisions shall be deemed null and void. All overdue, delinquent, or outstanding payments in relation to the Products must be remedied and paid in full before a Product order is processed and confirmed by Loftware. 

10.4.	Delivery. Loftware shall use commercially reasonable endeavors to notify the Channel Partner when the Products are ready to be downloaded and/or accessed, and shall provide all reasonable instructions, including any necessary access rights, activation codes or license keys. Physical Products(s) will typically be shipped and non-physical Products(s) e.g. license keys and SMA’s will be supplied electronically by Loftware to the Channel Partner or End User as applicable. Loftware shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the mutually agreed upon delivery date. 

10.5.	Pricing and Payment. Prices for Products shall be those specified in Loftware’s price list applicable for the Region of the Channel Partner valid at the date of submission of an order by the Channel Partner, less applicable Program discounts, in functional currency as determined by Loftware in its sole discretion. Unless indicated otherwise, all prices are exclusive of any taxes (such as VAT or WHT), duties and/or any other levies or taxes which might be chargeable in connection with such amount. Without limiting the foregoing, Channel Partner is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, provincial, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Loftware’s income.

10.6.	Unless otherwise specified in a written Product order or SOW, the Channel Partner agrees to pay Loftware within thirty (30) days after the issuance of a Loftware invoice. All payments shall be made via bank/wire or direct transfer to Loftware’s designated bank account or using other payment methods as defined on the invoice or order confirmation. All payments will be made in the currency indicated on the invoice. The Channel Partner may receive a written notification from Loftware for all invoices overdue. Loftware may cease the provision of technical support, Professional Services, and/or provision of software if such failure to pay overdue invoices continues for ten (10) days following written notice thereof, without incurring any obligation or liability to Channel Partner or any other third party by reason of such cessation, and  Loftware may request a 100% prepayment for any further provision of technical support, Professional Services, and software delivery from Channel Partners that have failed to remedy overdue invoices. Loftware may, in its reasonable discretion, choose not to process and accept new Product Orders or SOWs from Channel Partner if Channel Partner has not settled and paid overdue invoices. 

10.7.	Late Payment. If Customer fails to make any payment when and as due then, in addition to all other remedies that may be available, Loftware may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law.
