Prior to submitting any Order or utilizing a Service for the Customer or for the benefit of a Customer, Partner shall obtain Customer’s authorization to act on the Customer’s behalf with respect to (i) the placement and management of Orders, and (ii) the use and management of the Services. In addition, Partner shall require the Customer to review the Customer Terms & Conditions, and secure either (a) the Customer’s acceptance of the Customer Terms & Conditions, or (b) the requisite authority from the Customer to accept the Customer Terms & Conditions on the Customer’s behalf and to legally bind the Customer thereto. Only upon receipt of the such acceptance may Partner place any Order for any Customer or manage or use the Services on behalf of the Customer.

2.7 Internal Use Prohibited. The Services are intended for use only by or on behalf of Customers. If Partner wishes to use the Services for its own account, it must place an Order naming itself as the Customer and its use of the Services in that capacity will be subject to the Customer Terms & Conditions and other terms and conditions applicable to Customers.

2.8 Distributor Relationship. If Partner accesses and uses the Partner Portal pursuant to its relationship with a SkyKick-approved third-party distributor (“Approved Distributor”), Partner acknowledges that the terms and conditions of SkyKick’s applicable agreement with such Approved Distributor (“Distributor Agreement”) may establish a different order process or different payment terms than those set forth in this Agreement. To the extent any conflict between Section 3 (Order Process; Partner Portal) and Section 4 (Fees; Payment) of this Agreement and any Distributor Agreement, the terms of such Distributor Agreement will apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Approved Distributor is delinquent under its agreement with SkyKick in the payment of any Fees to SkyKick due in relation to Services purchased by Partner through the Approved Distributor, (i) Partner shall be liable for the payment of such Fees; (ii) SkyKick may at its sole discretion seek payment from Partner of all or part of such Fees; and (iii) Section 4 (Fees; Payment) shall apply between SkyKick and Partner as if the Fees had always been directly due by Partner. Partner is responsible for contacting its Approved Distributor with any questions regarding the order process and payment terms, including pricing applicable to its use of the Partner Portal. SkyKick will not be responsible or liable to Partner for any Liabilities arising out of or related to the invoicing, billing, collection, payment or non-payment of fees pursuant to a Distributor Agreement.

3. Order Process; Partner Portal.

3.1 Registration; Partner Portal. SkyKick will provide Partner with an account granting Partner access to and use of the Partner Portal. Partner is responsible for establishing credentials for each of its Users, maintaining the confidentiality of all account credentials and passwords, and for all activities that occur under Partner’s account. During the registration process for the Partner Portal, Partner will provide certain information, including contact information, business qualifications (if applicable) and any other information required by SkyKick (“Portal Data”). Partner represents and warrants that (i) all information provided during the registration process is accurate and complete; and (ii) if registering on behalf of an entity or organization, Partner is an authorized representative of such entity or organization with the authority to legally bind such entity or organization to this Agreement. If SkyKick determines that Partner has provided false, misleading, or otherwise inaccurate information to SkyKick, SkyKick may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Partner without incurring any liability towards Partner, and Partner shall cease holding itself out as a Partner of the Services.

3.2 Orders. From time to time during the Term, Partner may order Services from SkyKick for its use for the benefit of its Customers, or on behalf of the Customers by submitting an Order via the Partner Portal or SkyKick API. Any Orders received from Partner by SkyKick shall be deemed to have been authorized by both Partner and the Customer. Such Order will include all required information to enable SkyKick to perform the Services for the Customer as set forth in the Partner Portal.

3.3 Information. Partner is responsible for providing complete and accurate information to SkyKick with respect to all Customers in order for SkyKick to make the Services available such Customers. Partner acknowledges that SkyKick will have access to all of the data and information provided by Partner and the Customers. Failure to provide accurate and complete information about the Customer or Services required by the Customer, may result in a delay in SkyKick’s performance or cancellation of an Order if SkyKick later determines that it is unable to provide the Services requested.

4. Fees; Payment.

4.1 Fees. Partner will pay SkyKick the fees for the Services in the amounts set forth in the Order (“Fees”). SkyKick will have the right to modify the Fees for any Services from time to time at its discretion. The then-current Fees for the Services will be available on the Partner Portal. Partner shall have full discretion to set its own prices for the sale of the Services to Customers.

4.2 Invoice Terms. Each Service is subject to a different invoicing schedule, as described in the applicable Order. Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Order, all Fees for Partner’s purchase of Services shall be due and payable at the time Partner receives an invoice from SkyKick and the applicable payment term has expired. Notwithstanding the invoicing schedule, Partner is liable for all Fees upon submission of the Order. In case an Order is cancelled by Partner prior to the completion and/or end of the Order, this does not absolve Partner from the obligation to pay the Fees and the Fees are not refundable. In the event of any early termination of an Order or this Agreement, Partner will pay all outstanding amounts immediately upon the effective date of termination.

4.3 Payment Card Terms. Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Order, Partner will pay SkyKick any subscription-based Fees via Partner’s credit or debit card (“Payment Card”) and will be charged on the date each invoice is issued. By providing SkyKick with Payment Card information (including account number, expiration date, card verification code, and billing address), Partner authorizes SkyKick to charge such Payment Card for all subscription-based Fees that are due and payable hereunder. SkyKick will initiate periodic charges to such Payment Card for all subscription-based Fees incurred during the Term. Partner’s authorization of such recurring charges will remain effective for the duration of the Term, unless Partner notifies SkyKick in writing that Partner revokes such consent via the Partner Portal. Partner is not allowed to change its payment preferences without SkyKick’s prior acceptance. Partner can submit a request to change its payment preferences via the Partner Portal. Partner further authorizes SkyKick to receive updated Payment Card account information from the issuer of the Payment Card. For all other forms of payment, payment is due within 30 days from the invoice date or Approved Distributor under payment terms set by Approved Distributor.

4.4 Disputed Invoices. If Partner in good faith disputes any portion of an invoice, Partner shall pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and submit written notice to SkyKick regarding the disputed amount, which shall include documentation supporting the alleged billing error (each such notice, a “Fee Dispute Notice”). A Fee Dispute Notice must be submitted to SkyKick within 30 days from the date the invoice at issue is received by Partner. Partner waives the right to dispute any Fees not disputed within such 30 day period. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any such disputes within 60 days after Partner’s delivery of the applicable Fee Dispute Notice.

4.5 Purchase Orders. In the event that Partner requires a purchase order in order to pay invoices, it is Partner’s responsibility to input the purchase order number together with each Order and update the purchase order information as necessary. Partner will submit any updated purchase order number at least 10 days in advance of the scheduled invoice date. For the avoidance of doubt, Partner will be responsible to pay all Fees based on the Services ordered or consumed, regardless of any omission, error or conflicting information in purchase order.

4.6 Collection of Delinquent Accounts. Any amount not paid when due shall incur interest at the rate of 3% per month, or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less, without any notice of default being required. In the event SkyKick incurs any costs (including reasonable collections agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and court costs) from efforts collecting overdue amounts from Partner, Partner agrees to reimburse such costs promptly upon demand. If any amount remains unpaid for a period of 10 days after SkyKick informs Partner of the delinquency, SkyKick may suspend all services, including access to the Partner Portal, until all amounts due are paid in full. Partner further acknowledges that SkyKick has the right to take action against Customers for delinquent payment by Partner of Fees that are due and payable from Partner to SkyKick arising out of the Services. All Fees will be due and payable to SkyKick regardless of whether Partner has received payment from its Customers.

4.7 Taxes. All Fees payable by Partner are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. Partner will provide SkyKick with any information requested by SkyKick to determine whether SkyKick is obligated to collect VAT from Partner, including Partner’s VAT identification number. If Partner is legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, Partner is responsible for providing SkyKick with legally-sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. SkyKick will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges under Partner’s account occurring after the date SkyKick receives the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Partner will notify SkyKick and will pay SkyKick any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that SkyKick receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount SkyKick would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, Partner will provide SkyKick with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

4.8 Audit. During the Term (as defined below), SkyKick will have the right to audit the records of Partner relating to Partner’s sale of the Services to Customers to ensure that Partner is compliant with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the calculation of Fees in accordance with this Section 4.

5. Usage Data; Confidentiality; Security; Support.

5.1 Usage Data. Separately, SkyKick may collect, generate, use and store anonymous or aggregate information regarding use of the Services (“Usage Data”) solely for SkyKick’s business purposes (including, but not limited to, billing, enhancing the Services and creating new features, functionality and services). Partner acknowledges that SkyKick is the sole owner of the Usage Data.

5.2 Confidentiality. Each Party will, during the Term and thereafter, maintain in confidence the Confidential Information of the other Party and will not use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted herein. Each Party will use the same degree of care in protecting such Confidential Information as such Party uses to protect its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than reasonable care. Each Party will use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of exercising its rights, carrying out its obligations under this Agreement or vis-à-vis that Party, or in connection with the Services. In addition, each Party: (a) will not reproduce such Confidential Information, in any form, except as required to accomplish its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) will only disclose such Confidential Information to its employees, consultants and third-party service providers who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform their duties relating to this Agreement and have been informed of the obligation to preserve the confidentiality of such information prior to receiving such information. Confidential Information will be the property of the disclosing Party during the Term and afterwards in perpetuity, subject only to the exceptions expressly stated in this Agreement.

5.3 Security. SkyKick is responsible for the security of SkyKick’s IT systems. During the Term, SkyKick shall implement and maintain security safeguards as it deems reasonably necessary to account for (i) material changes to relevant technology or systems; or (ii) the discovery of a material privacy or security vulnerability or weakness.

5.4 Support. SkyKick shall provide Partner support regarding the Services in accordance with the terms set out in Schedule 1.

6. Proprietary Rights.

6.1 As between SkyKick and Partner, other than the limited rights explicitly granted to Partner under this Agreement, SkyKick or its licensors own and reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the SkyKick Platform, and Services, including, without limitation, any SkyKick proprietary software or technology utilized in the provision or use thereof, the Documentation, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein. Partner acknowledges that (a) all right, title and interest in and to the Services, including the SkyKick Platform and Documentation provided in connection therewith, and all Intellectual Property Rights embodied therein or associated therewith, are and shall remain with SkyKick or its third-party licensors; (b) no right or interest in the SkyKick Platform is conveyed other than the limited rights expressly granted herein; (c) the SkyKick Platform is protected by copyright and other Intellectual Property Rights; and (d) the SkyKick Platform embodies valuable confidential and trade secret information of SkyKick or its licensors, the development of which required the expenditure of considerable time and money. Partner will not take or encourage any action during or after the Term that will in any way impair the rights of SkyKick in and to the SkyKick Platform, any proprietary software or technology of SkyKick, or any Intellectual Property Rights in and to any of the foregoing. Except for the limited rights granted hereunder, SkyKick reserves all rights not expressly granted and no such additional rights may be implied. Insofar as Partner would, by force of law, acquire, vest or otherwise obtain any right or Intellectual Property Right in the SkyKick Platform, and Services, it hereby agrees and irrevocably transfers these rights to SkyKick. Insofar as legally required, the Terms and Conditions constitute the deed to transfer said rights and Intellectual Property Rights. Partner hereby furthermore agrees to, upon first request of SkyKick, perform any (legal) acts to effectuate or complete such transfer.

If a territory is mentioned in the Order, the license granted here is limited only to that territory.

7.3 SkyKick LLC or SkyKick B.V. The Services will be provided by SkyKick LLC if Customer is based in the United States of America or by SkyKick B.V. if the Customer is located outside the United States of America. Where relevant under local data protection laws, both SkyKick LLC and SkyKick B.V. act as a processor (as that term is defined in the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)), or similar concept under local data protection laws, for the Customer.

8. API License.

8.1 License. Subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, SkyKick hereby grants Partner a non-exclusive, royalty free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license during the Term solely to use the SkyKick API to integrate the Partner Offerings with SkyKick’s Services. SkyKick reserves the right to impose limits on data usage and API calls, and may, in its discretion, throttle or terminate access of Partners that use excessive amounts of data or submit an excessive number of API calls. If a territory is mentioned in the Order, the license granted here is limited only to that territory.

8.2 Rate Limits. Partner will not (and will not attempt to) exceed 10,000 end-point requests per day through the SkyKick API under this Agreement, or circumvent (or attempt to circumvent) such limitations on use of the SkyKick API (“Rate Limits”), or otherwise use the SkyKick API in a manner that (a) exceeds reasonable request volume as determined by SkyKick from time to time, (b) in SkyKick’s opinion constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or (c) otherwise fails to comply or is inconsistent with any part of this Agreement. If Partner circumvents or breaches, or SkyKick reasonably believes that Partner has attempted to circumvent or breach, Rate Limits, controls to limit use of the SkyKick APIs, or the intent of this Agreement, then SkyKick may in its sole discretion immediately suspend Partner’s ability to use the SkyKick API on a permanent or temporary basis. SkyKick may monitor Partner’s use of the SkyKick API to improve the SkyKick Service and to ensure Partner’s compliance with this Agreement. If Partner wishes to have the right to issue more than 10,000 end-point requests per day, it shall need to contact SkyKick to request this.

8.3 Reverse Engineering and other Limitations.

The Partner is required to implement and use the most current version of the SkyKick API and to make any changes to the Partner Offerings that are required as a result of such Update, at Partner’s sole cost and expense. Updates may adversely affect the manner in which the Partner Offerings access or communicate with the SkyKick API or the Customer Data. The Partner’s continued access or use of the SkyKick API following an update or modification will constitute binding acceptance of the Update.

8.5 Ownership. Partner acknowledges that SkyKick and its licensors retain all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the SkyKick API, including all Intellectual Property Rights, and Partner does not acquire any rights in the SkyKick API, express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

11.2 Process. SkyKick will reasonably notify Partner of any claim subject to the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, but the failure of SkyKick to so notify Partner will only affect Partners’ indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent that such failure materially prejudices Partner’s ability to defend the subject claim. Provided that Partner promptly investigates and defends any such claim, Partner will have control over the defense and settlement thereof at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Partner will not settle or compromise any claim in a manner that does not fully release SkyKick from such claim or results in a restriction on or admission by SkyKick or subjects SkyKick to any additional obligations. In the event that SkyKick determines, in its sole discretion, that Partner has failed to promptly investigate or rigorously defend any claim for which Partner has an obligation to indemnify, SkyKick will have the right to defend and settle such claim at Partner’s cost and expense.

12.1 Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue in effect until terminated by the Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”).

Except in the case of the Customer Data retrieved or received in connection with Cloud Manager, SkyKick will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Partner or the Customer prior to deleting the Customer Data. The following sections will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 1, 4, 5, 6, 8.3, 8.5, 9.4, 9.13, 9.17, 10.2, 10.3, 11, 12.3 and 13.

13. General Provisions.

13.2 Governing Law; Venue; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without resort to its conflict of law provisions. The Parties agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Seattle, Washington, and the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SkyKick has the right, at its sole discretion, to bring any claim against the Partner in the court of the Partner’s or Customer’s place of establishment. Despite the foregoing, Partner Agrees that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for SkyKick in the event of a breach or threatened breach of a provision of this Agreement protecting SkyKick’s Intellectual Property Rights or SkyKick’s Confidential Information, and that in the event of such a breach or threat, SkyKick, in addition to any other remedies to which it is entitled, is entitled to such preliminary or injunctive relief (including an order prohibiting Partner from taking actions in breach of such provisions), without the need for posting bond, and specific performance as may be appropriate.

13.3 Assignment. Neither this Agreement or any part thereof, nor any right or duty under this Agreement may be transferred, assigned or delegated by Partner, including by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of SkyKick, and any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation without such consent will be void and without effect. SkyKick may freely assign this Agreement or any part thereof and any right or duty under this Agreement to an affiliate or other Person, including by operation of law, change of control, merger, reorganization, or sale of stock or all or substantially all of its assets. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

Neither Party will, for any purpose, be deemed to be an employee, representative, owner or partner of the other Party; and, the relationship between the Parties will only be that of independent contractors. Neither Party will have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other Party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

13.5 Nonwaiver. The failure of either Party to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such Party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance; rather, the same will remain in full force and effect.

13.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any rule of law or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement will nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon any determination that a provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled.

Further, either Party may change its contact information by notice in accordance with this Section 13.7 or using tools available via the Partner Portal.

13.8 Force Majeure. In the event that SkyKick is delayed or prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, its performance will be excused and the time for performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence. SkyKick will endeavor to: (a) provide Partner prompt notice of the nature and expected duration of the event; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to address and mitigate the cause and effect of such event; (c) provide periodic notice of relevant developments; and (d) provide prompt notice of the end of such event.

13.9 Modifications to the Terms & Conditions.

No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other remedies.

Schedule 1 – SkyKick Support

1. Technical Support.
SkyKick provides product support to Partner, and to Partner only. Support will be provided via the SkyKick Support global telephone system or via email: support@skykick.com , during the business hours and via the telephone numbers as outlined on its website.

Partner agrees that any first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) line support for its Customers shall be handled by the Partner support organization. Only if Partner is unable to resolve support issues from its Customers, and Partner has reasonable grounds to believe that a particular support incident is in relation to the SkyKick Services, Partner may contact SkyKick Support (see contact details above).

Once a support request has been received SkyKick will acknowledge receipt. Once a Partner has fully informed SkyKick of all information SkyKick has requested in relation to the support request SkyKick will endeavor to respond within the applicable targeted response time listed in the table below.

Targeted response time means the maximum allowed time to acknowledge the receipt of a support request and initiate the resolution process. The targeted response time does not define the time that is required to reach a final resolution of a support incident reported by Partner, as this is strongly dependent on the complexity of the issue.

Partner will cooperate with SkyKick as reasonably necessary to assist SkyKick in trying to resolve the support issue. SkyKick will collaborate with Partner to set priorities that take into consideration Partner needs and SkyKick’s business judgment as to the severity of any reported support incidents.

SkyKick will work to address support incidents with the Partner support organization per the following severity levels:

Level Type TRT Description
  1 Support incident causes an immediate major impact on Partner’s business, and Partner’s business cannot reasonably continue.   1 hour Solution, documented workaround or written information within 1 hour and regular updates.
  2 The support incident causes a significant impact on Partner’s business. A workaround is not available; however, processing can still continue in a restricted manner.   3 hours Solution, documented workaround or written information same business day and regular updates
  3 The support incident has a minimal impact on Partner’s business. It does not prevent operation of the system.   24 hours Solution, documented workaround or written information.
  4 The support incident has no immediate or mid-term impact on Partner’s business   5 business days  

All support cases must be related to the SkyKick Services. SkyKick Support will only spend time investigating and/or resolving support incidents submitted by Partner that pertain a Customer and the live production environment.
Partner shall pay SkyKick according to SkyKick standard hourly rates for all Partner support that is provided for problems or issues that do not relate to the SkyKick Services, or when Customer requests support from SkyKick directly. Prior to submitting a support incident to SkyKick, Partner will make a general determination whether the incident is caused by the SkyKick Services.

2. Service Availability.
The SkyKick Services as it pertains to availability and maintenance is defined as SkyKick’s products and services, including the servers, software and network that are under the control of SkyKick. This definition explicitly excludes any servers, software or network that is not under the control of SkyKick, including but not limited to Partner or Customer’s computing and network resources, the internet, and point-to-point connections.

Scheduled maintenance, unforeseen downtime and unscheduled remedial maintenance of equipment, software and Internet access may interrupt Partner access to the SkyKick Service. SkyKick provides a status page to inform Partner of the SkyKick Platform availability status and of any scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.
