2. PARTNER PROGRAM RULES
- Your status as a Partner is effective as soon as your application is approved and the registration fee is paid. The fee is taken for the period of one year starting from the date of payment.
- The Provider badge can be placed on the Partner's website after the application form is filled and approved by the Provider.
- The resale price advertised by the Partner must not be lower than the product price listed on Provider's store (plumrocket.com).
- The Partner is responsible for delivering support and providing refunds to end-customers. Provider does NOT provide support or refunds to the Partner's end-customers.
- Partner's discount is the amount taken off the original price. If a product is already on a promotion, Partner will benefit from the higher discount rate only.
- Once a Partner establishes a certain volume of sales, it is possible to move to a higher discount level. For the volume of sales tiers, check the table at the partner program page.
- In case Partner does not reach a minimum revenue commitment, the Partner account will be downgraded to the lower level.
- In case of violation of the PTOS, Provider reserves the right to terminate the Partner relationship, or alter the terms of the Partner Program, or quit the Program at its own discretion.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY
The Partner and Provider may disclose confidential information one to the other to facilitate work under this PTOS. Such information shall be so identified in writing at the time of its transmittal, and shall be safeguarded and not disclosed to third parties by the receiving party. Confidential information shall not include information that:
- is already known to the party to which it is disclosed;
- is or becomes part of the public domain without breach of this PTOS;
- is obtained from third parties, which have no obligations to keep confidential to the parties to this PTOS.
4. DISCLAIMERS
4.1. Third Party or Partner Script Modification
Provider can take no responsibility for services provided by third parties through us or otherwise, including the web hosting of the Partner's Software. Partner may desire to independently edit or update his Software, note however, Provider is not responsible for any damage created by the Partner, agent of the Partner or any third party.
4.2. Consequential Loss
Under no circumstances will Provider be responsible or liable for financial or other loss or damage caused by the failure or use or misuse of its Software. The Partner should ensure that data on their site is regularly backed up and that a contingency plan is in place to minimize possible losses as a result of Software failure.
4.3. Security
Provider will make reasonable attempts to protect the integrity of the Partner's Software. As no software or server is 100% safe from security breach, the Partner understands that the Provider cannot be held accountable for all security breaches should they occur.
4.4. Status and Duration of Offers
Proposals and offers are valid for a period of two weeks from the date issued. Provider is not bound to honor offers that have expired. Offers are not legally binding until an acceptable timetable for the work has been agreed by both parties. This timetable must be agreed within the two weeks that the offer is valid. If an acceptable timetable has not been approved by both parties within two weeks of the offer being made, the offer is deemed to have expired. Provider reserves the right to adjust timetable and all project dates accordingly or treat offer as invalid and therefore terminated if Partner fails to pay first deposit before the start date specified in offer.
