Check Solutions Partner Program Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SOLUTIONS PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

This is a contract between you (the Partner or Provider, together addressed as Participant(s)) and us (Remote Home Check). 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.

This document applies to your participation in our Solutions Partner Program (the “Program”) either at the Partner level or at the Provider level. Please note that you can only participate in the Program as either a Provider or a Partner, but not both at a time. These terms are so important that we cannot have you participate in our Program unless you agree to them. By participating in our Program, you are agreeing to these terms.

We periodically update these terms. We might also choose to replace these terms in their entirety if, for example, the Program, ends, or becomes part of another partner program. If we update or replace the terms we will let you know via an in-app notification in your portal or 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 Remote Home Check 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) or Provider(s), new potential Partner or Provider, and End User — are eligible to participate, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We will notify Partner or Provider directly when and if they become eligible for Cross Sell.

    You can only participate in our Program as either a Partner or a Provider at any one time. Your acceptance and participation as a Provider does not mean that you will be accepted into our Program as a Partner. Each level of participation has its own eligibility requirements that must be met and maintained separately.

    3. Qualified Transactions

    a. Partner and Provider 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 Remote Home Check Products to your prospects and customers, and (ii) to provide End Users access to use the Remote Home Check 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 Solutions Program Policies applicable to you which are incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, if you are participating in the Program as a Partner, the Solutions Partner Program Policies will include requirements that a Partner must complete in order to qualify for a certain partner tier and may also include further details regarding the requirement for the Partner to purchase certain products or services to participate in the Program as a Partner. Furthermore, Partners must meet the Active Engagement (defined in section 3.g., below) requirement for all Qualified Transactions. Failure to comply with the Solutions 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.

    You will respect the limits that apply to your use of the Remote Home Check products as specified at http://www.Remote Home Check.com/pricing/service-limits (the “Service Limits”). We may update or change these Service Limits by updating http://www.Remote Home Check.com/pricing/service-limits, so we encourage you to review this page periodically.

    If you use our Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), developer tools, or associated software, you will comply with our API Terms at http://legal.Remote Home Check.com/api-terms, which are incorporated herein by reference.

    If you use the Remote Home Check Solutions Directory (as defined in the Remote Home Check Directory Terms of Use), you agree to comply with the Remote Home Check Directory Terms of Use available at http://legal.Remote Home Check.com/directory-tou. If you use the Remote Home Check Community (as defined in the Remote Home Check Community Terms of Use), you agree to comply with the Remote Home Check Community Terms of Use available at http://legal.Remote Home Check.com/community-tou.

    c. Program Limits. If you are a Partner, your Capacity Limit and the expiration policy for your registrations are outlined in the Solutions Program Policies for Partners. Your Capacity Limit as a Partner depends on your partner tier status and will be as set forth in the Program Policies. If you are a Provider, your Capacity Limit and the expiration policy for your registrations are outlined in the Solutions Program Policies for Providers. Any prospect(s) registered in excess of your applicable Capacity Limit will not be considered valid as per Section 3.e. of this Agreement. It is your responsibility as Partner or Provider to maintain the number of registrations within your Capacity Limit. Failure to do so may result in your suspension as Partner or Provider and/or the suspension of any payments due to you under this Agreement.

    d. 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’ or the ‘Shared Leads’ 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 Remote Home Check Lead (as defined below) or if: (i) such compensation is disallowed or limited by federal, state or local law or regulation in the United States 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 or Provider in this Program under this Agreement. In competitive situations with other Partners or Providers, 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.

    e. 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.

    f. Remote Home Check 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 “Remote Home Check Lead”). We can do the same for other partners of ours, even if it is for the same Remote Home Check Lead. You may use the information about the Remote Home Check Lead provided only to market and sell your services to them and not for any other purpose (unless the Remote Home Check Lead otherwise consents). Immediately upon our or the Remote Home Check Lead’s request, you will promptly discontinue all use of and delete the Remote Home Check Lead’s information. Remote Home Check 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 (i) not being registered, (ii) not being accepted, (iii) being expired, or (iv) 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 in our discretion, determine that Shared Lead will be considered 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 provide your consulting 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) either extends at least ninety (90) days beyond the close of the sale of the Subscription Service or has a specific and identifiable deliverable, as determined by us in our discretion. Remote Home Check may request you to provide validation that the End User is engaged with you (for example, by providing a copy of your retainer agreement with the End User if we so request) for managed credit and or sold validation.

    h. 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.

    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 Program.

    In a resulting Qualified Transaction, (i) the End User will contract directly with us for provision of the Remote Home Check Products, or (ii) you will place order(s) and contract with Remote Home Check in your own capacity for the Remote Home Check Products with us, specifying the terms of the Remote Home Check Products ordered and providing information about the End User as we may request. Option (ii) herein is not possible if the resulting transaction is a Cross Sell type transaction because you may not purchase on behalf of an End User and take on End User’s contractual obligations for a Cross Sell transaction. In the case of (ii) herein, where possible, and the prospect is considered registered, accepted and valid for the purposes of this Section 3., you may sell the Remote Home Check Products to End Users at a price determined solely by you and you will ensure that your agreement with the End User incorporates our Customer Terms of Service or contains those provisions set forth in 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. Additionally, 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.
    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 Customer Terms of Service when using the portal.

    You will take all reasonable steps to ensure that End Users do not use the Remote Home Check 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 Remote Home Check Products in violation of the Customer Terms of Service, 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 (generally completed through the partner tools tab in your portal), fulfilled all eligibility requirements to be a Partner or Provider 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. Please see the Program Policies for the applicable list of documents that need to be submitted to us and the required method of delivery. 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 Remote Home Check 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 forty-five (45) 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. For example, pre-payment in full by an End User for an annual commitment will be recognized by us as revenue quarterly on a pro-rata basis for the length of time the Subscription Service was provided during each quarter during the annual term, and you will receive the Revenue Share on that same quarterly pro-rata basis. 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 USD.

    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 Remote Home Check 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 Remote Home Check Products while any payment is delinquent and may charge a re-activation fee to reinstate any Remote Home Check Products. We may also terminate or suspend the End User’s access to the Remote Home Check 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 Remote Home Check 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 Remote Home Check 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 Remote Home Check 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 may require End Users to go through and/or purchase our standard Remote Home Check on-boarding. We will provide user training purchased by an End User as set forth in a mutually agreed upon order between the End User and Remote Home Check. We may communicate directly with any End User about use of the Remote Home Check Products and any support issues experienced.

    c. Remote Home Check Demo Account. If we make a Remote Home Check Demo Account available to you, then you will use the Remote Home Check Demo Account solely for your own education, demonstration and evaluation purposes. You are not permitted to use it for any other purpose. You will not lease, distribute, license, sell or otherwise commercially exploit the Remote Home Check Demo Account. You will not use any End User data or Customer Data (as defined in the Customer Terms of Service) with the Remote Home Check Demo Account. You can only use your own data (data and information that you specifically own) or the synthetic data provided to you for demonstration purposes by Remote Home Check. You will not exceed the contact limits provided for you in the Remote Home Check Demo Account and will utilize a reasonable number of objects in your use of the Remote Home Check Demo Account. The Customer Terms of Service apply to your use of the Remote Home Check Demo Account. As indicated in the Customer Terms of Service, you will comply with our Acceptable Use Policy at http://legal.Remote Home Check.com/acceptable-use with respect to your use of the Remote Home Check Demo Account. We reserve the right to suspend, modify, or discontinue any or all part of the Remote Home Check Demo Account at any time without prior notice to you. In the event of a conflict between the terms that apply to the Remote Home Check Demo Account as specified in this Agreement and the Customer Terms of Service, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

    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.
