ARTICLE 2 APPOINTMENT; PRICING

2.1 Appointment and Acceptance Subject to your continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Indeni appoints you as a non-exclusive Reseller of the Products, and you accept such appointment. Nothing in this Agreement prevents us from: (i) appointing other resellers or distributors within the territory or territories in which you typically operate; (ii) marketing, selling, or distributing Products directly to End Customers; or (iii) maintaining direct sales channels for the marketing, selling and distribution of the Products. Resellers will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Indeni market, distribute or sell Products to third party resellers, agents or sales representatives for resale.

2.2. Pricing. As an Indeni Partner, you will be entitled to purchase the Products at the various discounted prices listed depending on which party initiated the engagement with the End Customer. If you purchase the Products through one of our Authorized Distributors, then payment of the Purchase Price will be subject to any agreement with the Authorized Distributor. If you purchase the Products directly from us, then payment of the Purchase Price will be subject to Section 3.2.3, below.

ARTICLE 3 PURCHASE AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

3.1. Purchase Through Authorized Distributors. In the territories in which we have appointed an Authorized Distributor, you will generally purchase Products solely from such Authorized Distributors, absent a written agreement between you and Indeni to the contrary (which may take the form of an email message).

3.2. Purchase Directly from Indeni. If you operate in a territory or territories not served by an Authorized Distributor of Indeni, you may purchase Products directly from Indeni, in which event the following terms and conditions shall apply to Reseller:

3.2.1. Direct Orders to indeni. All purchases of Products you make under this Agreement will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will be evidenced by a purchase order. Any terms or conditions of any purchase order or acknowledgements given or received that are additional to or inconsistent with this Agreement will have no effect. Purchase orders will, at a minimum, include terms regarding: (i) the Product name or identification; (ii) quantity of Products; (iii) time of requested delivery; (iv) approved pricing; and (v) all applicable addresses, including end customer information. Purchase orders will be deemed to be accepted within five (5) business days unless Indeni provides you with a written notice of rejection (which may take the form of an electronic mail message).

3.2.2. Direct Delivery and Shipping from Indeni. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship the Products within two business days of receipt of the purchase order, inventory permitting. If the purchase is solely for software licenses and no hardware is shipped, the software licenses will be made available within two business days of receipt of the purchase order. Some software licenses may be immediately loaded into Indeni’s systems for the use by End Customer, if applicable. We will mark all Products for shipment to the address specified in the purchase order, and we will deliver the Products to a carrier or forwarding agent chosen by us or specified by you in the purchase order. Shipment will be FCA Indeni’s facility, at which time title and risk of loss passes to the recipient specified on the purchase order. You will specify a carrier and provide us with an active account number on the purchase order, otherwise we will ship under our account and you will pay all related freight, insurance, and other shipping expenses. As used in this Agreement, the term FCA will be construed in accordance with the International Commercial Terms, “Incoterms” (published 2012).

3.2.3. Payment to Indeni. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, payment terms will be Net thirty (30) from the invoice date. All orders will be processed when received. Licenses will be made available upon confirmation of the Purchase Order by Indeni, but it is the responsibility of the Reseller to forward the licensing to the End Customer. Hardware will be invoiced with the confirmation of the Purchase order by Indeni, but may be shipped at a later date to accommodate customization for the End Customer, unless alternative payment terms have been agreed to in writing. If Products are shipped prior to our receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price (and any other charges payable to indeni for the Products), then we hereby retain, and you hereby grant us, a security interest in any Products delivered to you and any proceeds therefrom, and you will promptly execute any documents requested by us to perfect or record such security interest. All prices are set forth in U.S. dollars and payments must be in U.S. dollars. If any currency conversion is required in connection with the calculation of the Purchase Price or other payments to be made under this Agreement, then such conversion will be made using the average of the buying and selling exchange rate for the applicable currency within the territory in which Reseller is located, in U.S. dollars, at current market prices. If any amount payable by Reseller is not paid when due, then without limiting any other rights which Indeni may have as a result of such late payment, the amount unpaid will bear interest until paid at a monthly rate of 1.5% or the maximum amount permitted under law, whichever is less, with such interest to be paid on demand together with all costs incurred by Indeni to collect the amounts due under this Agreement, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

3.2.4. Taxes on Direct Sales with Indeni. The amounts payable to Indeni hereunder do not include any taxes, customs duties, tariffs or license fees. All payments made by Reseller to Indeni are payable in full without reduction for any such taxes, customs duties, tariffs or license fees. Reseller is responsible for and will indemnify Indeni against any such taxes, customs duties, tariffs and license fees assessed against Indeni, based on payments to Indeni hereunder or on the use or possession by Reseller or End Customer of Products or support, but excluding United States federal, state and local taxes based on Indeni’s net income.

ARTICLE 4 RESELLER’S OBLIGATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS; DISCLAIMERS

4.1. Marketing. Subject to the license and the restrictions set forth in ARTICLE 5, below, Reseller will market the Products only under the Trademarks. Reseller will avoid deceptive, misleading, or unethical practices and not make any false or misleading representations with regard to Indeni or the Products, and will not knowingly solicit orders from any End Customer that engages in illegal or deceptive practices.

4.2. Training. Reseller will comply as soon as practicable with any and all training requirements with respect to the Products and the Indeni Software that Indeni may require from time to time via written notice.

4.3. Independent Contractor Status. Reseller is an independent reseller of the Products. Reseller is not and will not be considered a legal representative of Indeni for any purpose and, accordingly, will have no power or authority, expressed or implied, to make any commitment or incur any obligations on behalf of Indeni.

4.4. Warranty Disclaimer. Indeni makes warranties directly to its End Customers pursuant to the End User License Agreement (made available upon first use of the Product) (the “EULA”). Reseller will not make any representations, warranties, or any other commitments regarding Indeni or the Products. Indeni will not be responsible for any representation, warranties, or other commitments made by Reseller without Indeni’s prior written consent.

INDENI AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE PRODUCTS, INFORMATION, OR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THROUGH ITS AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS OR THE VALIDITY OF INDENI’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RELATING THERETO. INDENI SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND THOSE ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALINGS OR USAGE IN TRADE.

To the extent that any terms set forth on a purchase order delivered to Reseller by an End Customer conflict with or are in addition to the terms of the EULA, Reseller understands and agrees that such terms will be unenforceable as against Indeni.

4.5. Exclusion and Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL INDENI, ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLER BE LIABLE TO EITHER PARTY, ITS CUSTOMERS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE MARKETING AND SALE OF THE PRODUCTS BY RESELLER OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS BY ANY CUSTOMER OF RESELLER, INCLUDING THROUGH SUCH CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT BY ANYONE ELSE, EVEN IF INDENI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY, ANY CUSTOMER OF EITHER PARTY, OR ANYONE WHO USES THE SERVICE THROUGH SUCH CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT, FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW OR EQUITY, EXCEED THE (I) THE AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE OF PRODUCTS ACTUALLY PURCHASED BY RESELLER IN THE PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS, OR (II) IN THE CASE OF AN END CUSTOMER, THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ACROSS ALL ORDERS SUBMITTED BY THE END CUSTOMER TO RESELLER. ALL PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

The provisions of this Section 4.5 allocate risks under this Agreement between Indeni and Reseller. Indeni’s pricing of the Products reflects this allocation of risks and limitation of liability.

4.6. Compliance with Laws, including Anti-Corruption Laws. In connection with the resale of the Indeni Products, Reseller will comply with all country, federal, state and local laws, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, policies, licensing requirements, regulations and procedures, including, without limitation, such laws and regulations related to recycling or take-back programs for packaging, resale or use of Products, the use of Products under telecommunications laws/regulations, and all applicable anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act 2010 (collectively, the “Applicable Laws”). Reseller can find more information about the FCPA at the following URL: https://www.justice.gov/criminal-fraud/foreign-corrupt-practices-act. Reseller will not use money or other consideration paid by Indeni (and Reseller will not use its own money on Indeni’s behalf) for any unlawful purposes, including any purposes violating Applicable Laws, such as direct or indirect payments, for the purpose of assisting Indeni in obtaining or retaining business, to any of the following: any person associated with a commercial enterprise (non-government); government officials (including any person holding an executive, legislative, judicial or administrative office, whether elected or appointed, or of any public international organization, such as the United Nations or World Bank, or any person acting in any official capacity for or on behalf of such government, public enterprise or state-owned business); political parties or party officials; candidates for political office; or any person, while knowing that all or a portion of such money or thing of value will be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to any of the above-identified persons or organizations.
