Reseller Agreement - Resilio, Inc.
Date of last revision: December 9, 2020
This Resilio Sync Reseller/Affiliate Partner Agreement (the "Reseller Agreement") is between the applicable reseller ("you" or “Affiliate Partner” or "Reseller"), and Resilio, Inc. If you are agreeing to this Reseller Agreement not as an individual but on behalf of your company, then "Reseller" or “Affiliate Partner” or "you" means your company, and you are binding your company to this Reseller Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any rights granted to you hereunder are subject to your first obtaining approval by Resilio as a Reseller under this Reseller Program.
This Reseller Agreement is a separate agreement from the agreement that Resilio has with its end users at https://www.resilio.com/legal/eula-subscription (as may be modified by Resilio from time to time, "Resilio Subscription EULA"). For convenience and consistency, however, the definitions of certain terms related to our Software and services will be the same as those in the Resilio Subscription EULA.
This Sync Reseller Agreement does not have to be signed in order to be binding. You indicate your assent to the terms by clicking on the "I agree" (or similar button) that is presented to you when applying to become a Reseller/Affiliate Partner on the Resilio website.
1. Order Requirements.
To the extent that we make Software licenses available for resale, You may order such Software licenses for resale directly from Resilio by following the directions set forth on our website http://www.resilio.com/legal/reseller and all orders shall be subject to acceptance at Resilio’s discretion. You must provide all of the requested information including, without limitation, the identity of the end user, the end user’s business and email addresses, and the specific Software licenses, to be resold in your order ("Reseller Order"). All such information must be accurate and complete and must reflect bona fide orders you have received from end users.
2. Limited Right to Resell.
Subject to this Reseller Agreement, we grant you a one-time, non-exclusive, non- transferable right to resell the Software licenses specified in your Reseller Order to the end user specified in the Reseller Order, solely for use by such end user in accordance with the Resilio Subscription EULA. This right to resell does not apply to any other end user or Software (including without limitation any sale to any related party, organization or affiliate, or to any subsequent, additional or renewal sale to the same party).
3. Enforcement of Resilio Subscription EULA.
3.1 End User Terms.
All use of the Software by end users is subject to the Resilio Subscription EULA, and you may not purport to impose any other terms pertaining to their use of the Software. You are responsible for ensuring that each end user enters into the Resilio Subscription EULA in a manner that is legally binding upon the end user. This may require you to (a) notify each end user that Resilio Software is subject to the Resilio Subscription EULA and that by placing an order with Reseller the end user agrees to the Resilio Subscription EULA, (b) include either a copy of or link to the Resilio Subscription EULA in each quotation and order form you issue to the end user, and (c) obtain from each end user written confirmation of acceptance of the Resilio Subscription EULA prior to the earlier to occur of acceptance of the order by Reseller or delivery of the Product. You must provide evidence of such acceptance by the end user to Resilio upon request.
3.2 Enforcement Cooperation.
You agree to immediately notify us of any known or suspected breach of the Resilio Subscription EULA or other unauthorized use of the Software and to assist us in the enforcement of the terms of the Resilio Sync Subscription EULA.
4. Identification as Reseller.
Subject to this Reseller Agreement, you are permitted to identify yourself as a "Reseller of Resilio Sync Business", as applicable based on Resilio’s approval of your participation as a reseller of such Software and solely in connection with your resales of such Software. You may not use any Resilio trademark, logo or service mark ("Resilio Marks") except for the aforementioned purpose. All goodwill arising from your use of Resilio Marks inures to the benefit of Resilio.
5. Payment and Delivery.
5.1. Fees.
Your non-refundable, non-cancelable payment to Resilio is due when you submit your Reseller Order.
5.2. Delivery.
Upon receipt of payment (for Resilio Sync Business), or upon our receipt and acceptance of a Purchase Order we will deliver the applicable Software license key, or other information necessary for end users to use or access the applicable Software, directly to you in accordance with our standard delivery procedures. Once the Software license is issued to you, the subscription term will begin as defined at: https://www.resilio.com/legal/eula-subscription. When we deliver the license keys to you, you agree that you will, in turn, deliver them directly to the end user specified in the Reseller Order, and not to use or access the Software, in any way. You must either delete all license keys promptly thereafter or maintain them in confidence.
5.3. Taxes.
Payments made by you under this Reseller Agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the Software in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by Resilio, you must pay to Resilio the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under this Reseller Agreement.
5.4. End User Pricing and Payment; Refunds.
You will independently set your own pricing to each end user. You bear all risk of non-payment by end users, and you are solely responsible for all of your costs and expenses. You may not terminate a Reseller Order or receive any refunds due to non-payment by an end user. If Resilio provides any refund to an end user under our standard return policy, Resilio, at its option, will refund the applicable amounts either directly to the end user or to you for distribution to the end user but will have no obligation to do so. You agree to cooperate with Resilio in connection with any such refund. Furthermore, you may not re-use or re-sell any license to the Software once it has been initially provided to an end user, even if such end user has been issued a refund.
5.5. Payments.
Resilio accepts certain debit and credit cards as well as other forms of cash payment (e.g., PayPal transfers) as payment methods (each, an “Accepted Payment Method”) for Products, subject to the procedures and rules contained in these Terms and any applicable contract with the Accepted Payment Method. Accepted Payment Methods may vary by country, by Product and may change from time to time. When you purchase with an Accepted Payment Method, the fees for your Product will be billed on the date of your purchase or, for Products that are not delivered or made available on the date of purchase, when your Product is shipped or becomes available to you, as described below. If you purchase a subscription for a Product that renews automatically, such as monthly or annually, you agree that we may process your Accepted Payment Method on each monthly, annual or other renewal term (based on the applicable billing cycle), on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your Premium Service or Product subscription, as applicable. In addition, you agree that we have permission to retain and/or share with financial institutions and payment processing firms (including any institutions or firms we retain in the future) information regarding your purchase and your submitted payment information in order to process your purchase. If your Product subscription began on a day not contained in a subsequent month (e.g., your service began on January 30, and there is no February 30), Resilio will process your payment on the last day of such month. See below for information describing what you must do to change your Accepted Payment Method.
5.6. Changes in Fees.
We may change the price of any Product from time to time and add new fees and charges for certain features or to reflect a change in business or legal rules, but we will send advance notice of changes in recurring subscription fees by email to the address in your account information. Any increase in charges for the same Product would not apply until the expiration of your then current billing cycle, unless otherwise specifically provided in our notice to you, and would become effective no sooner than the next time you would be charged for that Product. If you do not agree to pay the new price or other applicable charges, you may elect not to renew the Product subscription before the price change goes into effect, which cancellation would be effective at the expiration of your then current billing cycle. See “Subscription Cancellation” below for information on how you must cancel a Product subscription.
5.7. Changes to Payment Methods and Account Information.
You are responsible for ensuring that all of your account information, including your email address and all payment information (address, debit or credit card number and expiration date), is accurate and up to date at all times. You may change this information at any time. If you have a Product subscription, you may notify Resilio’s customer service by making the changes at http://orders.resilio.com. If your credit card expires or the information is otherwise invalid, or you make changes to your billing account too close in time to when we charge for any Product subscription (so we cannot reasonably act on your changes prior to billing), we will probably not be aware of this, and we will bill the current charges to the card we had on record; the continuation of your Product subscription constitutes your authorization for us to do so, and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and any charges incurred by you or us as a result of billing to an invalid card.
5.8. Subscription Cancellation.
You may elect to cancel a Product subscription at any time. Any cancellation of a Product subscription will be effective as of the end of the then-current billing period. If you desire to cancel your subscription for the Product as of the end of the current billing period, you may do so at https://orders.resilio.com/account/me/login/.

10. Confidentiality.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Reseller Agreement, each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (as "Receiving Party") from the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure.

11. Resilio Commitments; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
