PLEASE READ THIS PARTNER & AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT CAREFULLY

This is a contract between you (the Partner) and us (SocialSavvi). 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. These terms are so important though that we cannot have you participate in our Partner & Affiliate Program unless you agree to them. By participating in our Partner & Affiliate Program, you are agreeing to these terms.

We periodically update these terms and we will let you know when we do via an email notification or your socialsavvi dashboard.

3. Partner 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 SocialSavvi Products to your prospects and customers, and (ii) to provide End Users access to use the SocialSavvi 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, including the Program Policies, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Program Policies may include requirements that Partner must complete in order to qualify for a certain partner tier and may also require that Partner purchase certain products or services to participate in the Partner Program.

d. Eligibility. To be eligible for a Revenue Share, a Partner & Affiliate must be registered, accepted and valid in accordance with the ‘Submission, Acceptance and Validity’ or the ‘Shared Leads’ section.

You are eligible to receive a Revenue Share or any other compensation from us as long as you are active.

f. SocialSavvi 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 “SocialSavvi Lead”). We can do the same for other partners of ours, even if it is for the same SocialSavvi Lead. You may use the information about the SocialSavvi Lead provided only to market and sell your services to them and not for any other purpose (unless the SocialSavvi Lead otherwise consents.) Immediately upon our or the SocialSavvi Lead’s request, you will promptly discontinue all use of and delete the SocialSavviLead’s information. SocialSavvi Leads are considered our Confidential Information and shall be treated in accordance with the ‘Confidentiality’ section below.

g. Shared Leads. If we decide to participate in the same sales process as you and this results in the sale of the Subscription Service to a prospect that would have otherwise not been valid based on it not being registered, not being accepted, being expired, or exceeding the registered capacity limits or other applicable limits, (each, a “Shared Lead”) and you have an Active Engagement (defined below) with such Shared Lead, then we may consider that Shared Lead a registered, accepted and valid prospect for the purposes of the ‘Eligibility’ section above. An “Active Engagement” means that you have a fully executed written agreement with the Shared Lead under which you are retained to provide marketing services that (i) either pre-dates the time at which the sale of the Subscription Service is closed, or is signed contemporaneously with the close of the sale of the Subscription Service, and (ii) extends at least ninety (90) days beyond the close of the sale of the Subscription Service.

h. Engagement with Prospects. If a prospect is not a SocialSavvi Lead or a Shared Lead but is otherwise valid, we will not engage with that prospect except:
to complete the subscription process, to fulfill or enforce our obligations under an agreement with such prospect,
to provide support, to conduct our standard marketing activities with prospects that have subscribed to or requested any of our marketing materials, in connection with the Optional Partner Programs (for example, the Agency Prospecting Program), or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. When we do engage, we may choose how and whether to engage with each prospect. We may elect to contact the prospects directly, whether or not such contact is by us directly or in conjunction with you. Upon our request, you will provide us with the name and contact information of the End User, 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.

If we request, you will facilitate our participation on calls with you and various End User(s). We may request to participate on these calls in an effort to help to ensure the quality of your service delivery and for the purposes of managing the Agency Partner Program.

In a resulting transaction, the End User will contract directly with us for provision of the SocialSavvi Products, or
you will place order(s) for the SocialSavvi Products with us, specifying the terms of the SocialSavvi Products ordered and providing information about the End User as we may request.

In the case of (ii), you may sell the SocialSavvi Products to End Users at a price determined solely by you and you will ensure that your agreement with the End User contains those provisions set forth in the our Customer Terms of Service. If you purchase on behalf of an End User, you agree to be responsible for the order placed and to guarantee payment of all fees. We may also require each End User to agree to the Customer Terms of Service.

If you purchase a subscription for an End User, such subscription may be used only for the End User for which it was originally purchased, and it may not be repurposed for or reassigned to an alternate End User without our prior written consent.

You will take all reasonable steps to ensure that End Users do not use the SocialSavvi Products in violation of the Customer Terms of Service. If you discover or have reason to believe that any End User is making use of the SocialSavvi Products in violation of the Customer Terms of Service, then you will immediately notify us in writing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any of the requirements set forth in section 4(a)(i-iv) remain outstanding for six (6) months immediately following the close of a Partner Transaction, then your right to receive Revenue Share arising from any and all Partner Transactions 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.</b> Once you comply with all of the requirements in section 4(a)(i-iv), then you will be eligible to receive Revenue Share on Partner Transactions, as long as these Partner 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 forty-five (30) days after the end of the previous month in an amount equal to the Net Revenue minus our core product cost.
