Malwarebytes will confirm the Territory with Program Member upon completion of the Distributor Program registration process.

D.	Now, Malwarebytes intends to engage Distributor with the distribution of certain Malwarebytes Products in the Territory on a non-exclusive basis, and Distributor is willing to act as a non-exclusive distributor for these products in the Territory.

E.	Against this background, Malwarebytes and Distributor hereby enter into this Agreement for Malwarebytes’ appointment of Distributor as a non-exclusive distributor of certain Malwarebytes Products (the Covered Malwarebytes Products as defined herein) in the Territory.
	
Agreement

1.	Subject Matter of This Agreement. This Agreement covers the appointment of Distributor by Malwarebytes as a non-exclusive distributor of the Malwarebytes Products (“Covered Malwarebytes Products”) listed in the Malwarebytes distributor program partner portal (“Partner Portal”) in the Territory and the related rights and obligations of Distributor and Malwarebytes. Upon the appointment, Distributor will in particular, as further set forth in this Agreement, (i) purchase Covered Malwarebytes Products from Malwarebytes in its own name and on its own account; (ii) resell and distribute the purchased Covered Malwarebytes Products in its own name and on its own account to Resellers (as defined below) and End Users (also as defined below), as the case may be, in the Territory; (iii) market the Covered Malwarebytes Products in the Territory; and (iv) support and further enhance the reputation of Malwarebytes as a leading global provider of cutting-edge cybersecurity software and solutions in the Territory.

2.	Components of This Agreement and Order of Precedents, Rules of Interpretation

2.1.	Components. This Agreement consists of the following documents:

(i)	This main body;
(ii)	Covered Products and Pricing on the Partner Portal (Covered Products and Pricing List);
(iii)	Exhibit A (Distributor Qualification Requirements);
(iv)	Exhibit B (Personnel Qualification Requirements).

Covered Products and Pricing List, Exhibit A, and Exhibit B all referred to individually as an “Exhibit” and jointly as “Exhibits”.

2.2.	Order of Precedents. In case of contradictions or inconsistencies between the provisions of the main body of this Agreement and the provisions of an Exhibit, the provisions of the main body of this Agreement shall prevail. This shall not apply if a provision in the main body of this Agreement explicitly allows for a deviation and the Parties have explicitly deviated from this provision (also citing the provision in the main body) in an Exhibit.

2.3.	Rules of Interpretation. The terms “including”, “such as”, “in particular”, and similar terms are to be interpreted in each case as “including, without limitation”, “in particular, without limitation”, “such as, without limitation”, etc. Headings are for convenience only and shall not alter or otherwise impair the interpretation of the provision itself. Unless indicated otherwise, defined terms shall apply in singular and plural.

3.	Appointment and Qualification of Distributor, Covered Malware Products

3.1.	Appointment. Subject to Distributor’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Malwarebytes hereby appoints Distributor as an independent non-exclusive distributor of the Covered Malwarebytes Products in the Territory.

3.2.	Qualification of Distributor. Distributor meets, and will continue to meet over the entire term of this Agreement, the qualification requirements defined in Exhibit A.

3.3.	Covered Malwarebytes Products

3.3.1.	General. The Covered Malwarebytes Products agreed on the Effective Date are set forth in Covered Products and Pricing List. Distributor agrees that Malwarebytes is entitled to change, add, or delete any Covered Malwarebytes Product from Covered Products and Pricing List at any time by providing Distributor at least 30 (thirty) calendar days prior written notice. After expiration of this notice period, the change, addition and/or deletion becomes effective. Without prejudice to the effectiveness of the change, addition and/or deletion, such change, addition and/or deletion will be effected by updating Covered Products and Pricing List on the Partner Portal. For the avoidance of doubt, all POs (as defined below) in effect at expiration of the notice period remain in effect, and Malwarebytes and Distributor will fulfil them as agreed in the PO.

3.3.2.	Covered Malwarebytes Products. As further detailed in Covered Products and Pricing List, Malwarebytes will make available for purchase, resale, and distribution – subject to the provisions of this Agreement, temporary subscriptions of software (either for device installation or as a service (“SaaS”, and the subscription made available by Malwarebytes, the “Subscriptions”) as Covered Malwarebytes Products.

4.	Purchase, Resale and Distribution of Covered Malwarebytes Products

4.1.	POs by Distributor.  Distributor may purchase Covered Malwarebytes Products from Malwarebytes – in its own name and on its own account – by submitting purchase orders (“PO”) to Malwarebytes via the electronic order process made available by Malwarebytes to Distributor for this purpose (the “Malwarebytes’ Order Process”). If and as required for the use of this Malwarebytes’ Order Process, Distributor will, at its cost, connect its electronic order system with the electronic order system of Malwarebytes via an application program interface (API). Malwarebytes may require Distributor from time to time to use another Malwarebytes’ Order Process (e.g., ordering via email), in which case Malwarebytes will provide written notice (email suffice) with the necessary details to Distributor at least, 30 (thirty) calendar days in advance.

4.2.	When connecting to and using the Malwarebytes’ Order Process, Distributor will apply state-of-the-art cybersecurity measures in order to prevent that malicious code will be introduced into, or that other types of cyberattacks occur in relation to the systems operated by or for Malwarebytes. From time to time, Malwarebytes may request information from Distributor about the cybersecurity measures implemented and maintained for demonstration that these cybersecurity measures are actually state-of-the-art.

4.3.	Each PO must include, at the minimum and unless Malwarebytes reasonably requires further information, the following information to be a valid PO:

(i)	Reference to this Agreement;
(ii)	name and contact details of Distributor;
(iii)	name and contact details of the Reseller (if a Reseller has placed the PO);
(iv)	name and contact details of the End User to whom the Covered Malwarebytes Product(s) will be delivered; and
(v)	number, quantity, quote, or transaction reference number and requested delivery date of the Covered Malwarebytes Products.

4.4.	Each PO is subject to Malwarebytes’ acceptance, at Malwarebytes’ sole discretion through the Malwarebytes Order Process. Except for the PO information, any terms and conditions in a PO that are inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are hereby rejected by Malwarebytes and will be deemed null and of no effect, even if Malwarebytes accepts or acknowledges the PO.

4.5.	Cancellation. Malwarebytes may cancel any PO accepted by Malwarebytes, or refuse or delay delivery of any Covered Malwarebytes Products ordered under it, if Distributor: (i) fails to make any payment as provided in this Agreement or under the payment terms set forth in any invoice or otherwise agreed to by Malwarebytes and Distributor; (ii) fails to meet reasonable credit or financial requirements established by Malwarebytes, including any limitations on allowable credit; or (iii) otherwise fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Any such cancellation, refusal or delay by Malwarebytes does not constitute a termination of this Agreement (unless Malwarebytes explicitly terminates) or breach of this Agreement by Malwarebytes.

4.6.	Restrictions. The purchase, resale and distribution are in particular subject to the licenses and license requirements set forth below in Section 7.

4.7.	No Restrictions for Passive Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or a PO, nothing will restrict Distributor in fulfilling unsolicited requests from End Users or Resellers outside the Territory (so called ‘passive sales’).

5.	Delivery of Covered Malwarebytes Products. Upon receipt of the price payable pursuant to the applicable PO, Malwarebytes will, in fulfilment of the PO, whether Distributor or the End User has placed the PO with Malwarebytes, deliver to the End User indicated on the PO, electronically access to the Covered Malwarebytes Product  thereby allowing the use the Subscription.

6.	Resellers

6.1.	Qualification of Resellers. Distributor will select and appoint only resellers as Resellers in the Territory that meet the qualification requirements set forth in Exhibit A. Distributor will document the selection process and appointment of a Reseller in writing (electronic format suffice), and, upon request of Malwarebytes from time to time, Distributor will provide written (electronic format suffice) evidence to Malwarebytes that Distributor has conducted a due diligence and came to the reasonable conclusion, and continuously monitors, that the Reseller meets these requirements.

6.2.	Issues Regarding and Replacement of Resellers. In the case of performance issues or reputational issues of a Reseller, Distributor shall discuss these issues with the Reseller and request the elimination of these issues within a reasonable period of time. If, after expiration of this reasonable period of time, the issues still persist, Distributor will no longer resell and distribute Covered Malwarebytes Products to the Reseller, unless to the extent explicitly approved by Malwarebytes in writing (email suffice) on a case-by-case basis. Distributor will follow the same approach if Malwarebytes has reasonable concerns regarding the performance and/or reputation of a Reseller, in which case Malwarebytes will inform Distributor accordingly.

7.	Licenses

7.1.	License to Resell and Distribute. With respect to each Covered Malwarebytes Product purchased by Distributor, Malwarebytes grants Distributor the right to resell and distribute the Covered Malwarebytes Products to: (i) a Reseller for further resale and distribution by the Reseller to an End User; or (ii) if an End User has purchased the Covered Malwarebytes Product directly from Distributor to the End User.

7.2.	License to Use to End Users. Distributor will ensure, through written, (electronic form suffice if the applicable law allows for electronic form), enforceable license agreements, that either the Reseller (if the Reseller has ordered the Covered Malwarebytes Product from Distributor) or that Distributor (if an End User has ordered a Covered Malwarebytes Product directly from Distributor) grants the End User, always subject to payment of the applicable price by Distributor to Malwarebytes, a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, temporary (for the term of the Subscription), terminable, revocable and limited license to use the Covered Malwarebytes Product for the internal purposes of the End User (if the End User is a business, this refers to business purposes, if the End User is an individual and not acting for her or his business, this refers to private purposes) subject to terms online at: www.malwarebytes.com/eula, and such further restrictions, where applicable as set forth in this Agreement, including the restriction set forth in Sections 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5, and the PO, (the license granted to the End User, referred to as the “EULA”).  Other than Covered Malwarebytes Products specifically labelled as ‘Teams’, the Covered Malwarebytes Products are licensed only for use by individuals not businesses.  ‘Teams’ products are licensed for use by small businesses as described in their official product documentation.

7.3.	Restrictions

(a)	Distributor shall not, and shall not allow any Reseller, End User or any other third party to, disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Covered Malwarebytes Products, except, and solely to the extent, if any, that applicable local law allows any such activity. Except as expressly authorized by this Agreement or by applicable local law, Distributor shall further not, and shall further not allow any Reseller, End User or any other third party to: (i) copy or reproduce the Covered Malwarebytes Products, in whole or in part; (ii) modify the Covered Malwarebytes Products; (iii) provide the Covered Malwarebytes Products or make their functionality available to third parties as an application services provider or service bureau, or by hosting, time sharing or providing any other type of services; or (iv) access or try to access the source code of any Covered Malwarebytes Products.

(c)	Malwarebytes does in no event grant any rights with respect to the source code of a Covered Malwarebytes Product to Distributors, Resellers, End User or another third party, and Distributor shall not grant any such rights to Resellers, End User or another third party.

7.4.	No Purchase or Sale of Title. For clarity, as used in this Agreement, the terms “purchase”, “sell”, “resell” and similar terms refer to the purchase or sale of a non-exclusive, temporary right to use the Covered Malwarebytes Products, but in no event to a purchase or sale of title to or ownership of any rights or other interests in the Covered Malwarebytes Products.

7.5.	Protection of Proprietary Rights. Distributor shall distribute the Covered Malwarebytes Products in each case under the protected product name and in the original packaging and will observe the proprietary rights and copyright notices on the Covered Malwarebytes Products and not change or remove them.

8.2.	Distributor’s Pricing. Distributor is free to determine the prices Distributor will charge to Resellers for the resale and distribution of Covered Malwarebytes Products and undertakes not to impose any pricing restrictions on the Resellers for their resale and distributions to End Users.

Malwarebytes shall  invoice Distributor monthly in arrears for the Covered Malwarebytes Products provided in the previous calendar month based on peak volume.  Subscriptions and orders of Covered Malwarebytes Products, and associated billing, shall not be prorated in any event, not even where the subscription is not for the entire month; further payment requirements are set forth in Covered Products and Pricing List. All invoices shall be due within  60 days of invoice date and Distributor shall pay the total amount covered by the invoice by wire transfer to the account of Malwarebytes provided in writing to Distributor and confirmed by Malwarebytes in writing.  Distributor is solely responsible for billing Resellers and End Users and collecting payments. Distributor’s payment obligations to Malwarebytes are not contingent upon collection from Distributor’s Resellers or End Users.

The foregoing shall not apply to taxes based on Malwarebytes’ net income. If Malwarebytes is required to collect, or pays on Distributor’s behalf, any taxes or duties for which Distributor is responsible, Distributor will pay or reimburse Malwarebytes, as the case may be, for all such amounts. If Distributor pays any withholding taxes based on the payments made by Distributor to Malwarebytes hereunder, Distributor will furnish Malwarebytes with written documentation of all such tax payments, including receipts and other customary documentation, and shall increase the payment amount so that Malwarebytes receives the full amount, net of any such taxes.

Malwarebytes will conduct any such audit during regular business hours and in a manner that minimizes interference with Distributor’s normal business activities. If an audit reveals an underpayment of any amounts payable to Malwarebytes, Distributor will promptly remit the full amount of such underpayment to Malwarebytes, including interest calculated pursuant to Section 9.5 above. If the underpaid amount exceeds 5% (five percent) of the amounts payable to Malwarebytes for the period audited, Distributor will also pay Malwarebytes’ reasonable costs of the audit.

9.	Marketing and Reputational Activities

9.1.	Obligations of Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes will provide Distributor with marketing materials for Distributor’s use for marketing in the Territory (“Marketing Materials”).

Any use of a Malwarebytes Mark by Distributor must correctly attribute ownership of such mark to Malwarebytes and must be in accordance with applicable law and Malwarebytes’ then-current trademark usage guidelines. Distributor will not alter, remove or obscure any Malwarebytes Mark on or in the Covered Malwarebytes Product as delivered to Distributor, and will not, without Malwarebytes’ prior written consent, attach any additional trademarks, logos or trade designations on or to the Covered Malwarebytes Product(s), and will not permit any third party to do any of the foregoing. Distributor acknowledges and agrees that Malwarebytes owns the Malwarebytes Marks and that any and all goodwill and other proprietary rights that are created by or that result from Distributor’s use of a Malwarebytes Mark hereunder inure solely to the benefit of Malwarebytes. Distributor will at no time contest or aid in contesting the validity or ownership of any Malwarebytes Mark or take any action in derogation of Malwarebytes’ rights therein, including, without limitation, applying to register any trademark, trade name or other designation that is confusingly similar to any Malwarebytes Mark.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM MALWAREBYTES OR ELSEWHERE, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. DISTRIBUTOR WILL MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS IN MALWAREBYTES’ NAME OR ON MALWAREBYTES’ BEHALF.

13.2.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  IN NO EVENT WILL MALWAREBYTES BE LIABLE TO DISTRIBUTOR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), OR THE COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED MALWAREBYTES PRODUCTS, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT MALWAREBYTES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. MALWAREBYTES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, WILL BE LIMITED TO THE PAYMENTS ACTUALLY RECEIVED FROM DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE 6 (SIX) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO ANY LIABILITY. THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 14.2 WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

13.3.	Indemnification by Malwarebytes. Subject to the remainder of this Section 14.3, in particular subject to the Indemnity Exclusions (as defined below), Malwarebytes will defend or settle any action brought against Distributor to the extent that it is based upon a third-party claim that the Covered Malwarebytes Products, as provided by Malwarebytes to Distributor under this Agreement, infringes any U.S. patent or any copyright or misappropriates any trade secret, and will pay any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim that are awarded in a final judgment against Distributor or are payable in settlement by Distributor. As an express condition to Malwarebytes’ obligation pursuant to this Section 14.3, Distributor must: (i) promptly notify Malwarebytes in writing of the claim; (ii) grant Malwarebytes sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (iii) provide Malwarebytes, at Malwarebytes’ expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim. Malwarebytes will not be bound by any settlement or compromise that Distributor enters into without Malwarebytes’ express prior consent.

13.3.1.	Injunctions. If Distributor’s rights to use the Demo Products, and resell and distribute the Covered Malwarebytes Products hereunder are, or in Malwarebytes’ opinion are likely to be, enjoined due to the type of claim specified in this Section 14.3, Malwarebytes may, at its sole discretion and expense: (i) procure for Distributor the right to continue using the affected Covered Malwarebytes Product(s) under the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) replace or modify the affected Covered Malwarebytes Product(s) so that it is non-infringing and substantially equivalent in function to the enjoined Product. If Malwarebytes cannot achieve either option (i) or (ii) despite Malwarebytes’ reasonable efforts, then Malwarebytes may terminate its obligations and Distributor’s rights hereunder with respect to the affected Covered Malwarebytes Product(s).

13.3.2.	Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3, Malwarebytes will have no liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind to the extent that it results from: (i) modifications to the Covered Malwarebytes Products made by a Party other than Malwarebytes, if a claim would not have occurred but for such modifications; (ii) the combination, operation or use of the Covered Malwarebytes Products with equipment, devices, software or data not supplied by Malwarebytes, if a claim would not have occurred but for such combination, operation or use; (iii) Distributor’s failure to use updated or modified Covered Malwarebytes Products provided by Malwarebytes; (iv) Malwarebytes’ compliance with any designs or specifications provided by Distributor; or (v) Distributor’s breach of any obligations pursuant this Agreement.

14.2.	Exclusions. Information shall not qualify as Confidential Information, to the extent that it is or becomes (i) generally known to the public through no fault of or breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party; (ii) rightfully known by the receiving Party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality; (iii) independently developed by the receiving Party without direct or indirect use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (iv) rightfully obtained by the receiving Party from a third party without restriction on use or disclosure.

14.3.	Use and Disclosure Restrictions. Each Party will: (i) keep Confidential Information of the disclosing Party confidential; (ii) not use the other Party’s Confidential Information, except as necessary for the performance of this Agreement, and will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, except to those of its employees and subcontractors that need to know such Confidential Information for the performance of this Agreement, provided that each such employee and subcontractor is subject to a written agreement that includes binding use and disclosure restrictions that are at least as protective as those set forth herein; and  (iii) apply appropriate technical and organisational measure to maintain the confidentiality of all of the other Party’s Confidential Information in its possession or control, which will in no event be less restrictive than the technical and organisational measures that it ordinarily uses with respect to its own confidential information of similar nature and importance.

14.4.	Allowed Disclosures. The obligations in this Section 15 will not restrict either Party from disclosing the other Party’s Confidential Information or the provisions of this Agreement: (i) pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the Party required to make such a disclosure gives reasonable notice to the other Party to enable it to contest such order or requirement and uses reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure and provides the other Party a reasonable opportunity to preview and to object to the disclosure; (ii) on a confidential basis to its legal or professional financial advisors; or (iii) as required under applicable securities regulations.
