Participation
Your participation in the program begins as soon as we activate your account on our partner portal you agree to these terms. By "you," “your” or similar references we mean the legal entity enrolling in the program. Therefore, the person completing this enrolment represents that he or she is an employee / owner / authorised representative of that entity and has the power and authority to bind that entity to this agreement. By "we," "us," “our” or "AADONA," we mean AADONA Communication., together with its subsidiaries.
The Program Guide
The program brochure on the Portal (the “Program Guide”) describes the various levels of the program. Read it carefully, as it describes your rights and responsibilities at each level of the program. Resellers join the program at the basic level. You may advance to higher levels by achieving and maintaining the criteria for the higher level. We may change the Program Guide from time to time, including the levels, performance criteria and benefits. We may change the terms and conditions of this agreement from time to time as well. We will notify you when we make changes. If you do not agree to any change we make, you may terminate your participation in the program by giving us written notice within 30 days from when we told you of the change. Otherwise, your continued participation in the program means you consent to the changes.
AADONA Products and Services
The program applies only to the marketing, sale and support by you of AADONA products and services purchased by you from our authorized distributors (collectively "Products") and resold by you directly to end-customers. End-customers are purchasers of Products for their own use and not for resale. We will provide you with a list of authorized distributors for you at your request.
Program Benefits
In addition to any benefits described in the Program Guide for your level, during the term of your participation in the program, you receive the following minimum benefits:
Access to the Portal
You may use the materials and the information you learn through the Portal only within your company in furtherance of the sale, marketing or support of Products. You may provide such materials or information to current or prospective end-customers only when explicitly permitted on the Portal or with our specific written permission (which may be by email). You may not use any such material or information for any purposes competitive with our business.
Right to Use Our Logos and Other Trademarks
We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non- sub licensable, revocable, limited license to use the name, logo, trademarks, service marks, trade names, product names and other marks of AADONA ("Marks") solely to market and promote the sale of Products in compliance with our advertising policy. The form and manner in which you use the Marks must comply with our brand usage requirements. Both of these documents are available on the Portal. As with other elements of the program, we may change these documents from time to time.
Any use of the Marks by you must identify our ownership of the Marks. You may not use the Marks in a manner that might lead someone to believe that you are one of the AADONA group of companies. For example, you may not use the Marks in any website or URL address. All use of the Marks by you and all related goodwill will accrue solely to the benefit of AADONA. We reserve all rights in the Marks not specifically granted to you.
You must not (a) challenge the validity of the Marks or AADONA’s ownership of them; (b) attempt to register any Mark, or any word, combination of words, logo or other design similar to a Mark; (c) use any Marks in combination with any products or services other than Products; (d) remove or change any Mark on any Product, Product packaging or any other materials we provide to you; (e) use any Mark with respect to any alterations of Product not performed by us; or (f) incorporate any Marks into your trademarks, service marks, product names, company names, domain names, or any other similar designations.
If you would like to use any Marks in a form other than as provided to you on the Portal and in accordance with this agreement, you must submit a sample for approval by us no less than five business (5) days prior to making the material available. You may contact us for approval in the manner indicated on the Portal.
Reseller Obligations
Ongoing Compliance. You must continuously meet the requirements defined in the Program Guide for your level throughout your participation in the program. You must always comply with the terms of this agreement during your participation in the program. You must tell us promptly when you know or suspect that you cease to meet the requirements of your level or have not complied with this agreement.
Requirements for Reselling. You must exert reasonable efforts to market and sell Products, including support services for any sale of hardware or software Products. We may ask you to provide reasonable evidence of these efforts. You will only procure Products for resale from authorized distributors and sell those Products to end-customers in the region specified by the authorized distributor. You will provide point-of-sale information reasonably requested by the authorized distributor and agree that the authorized distributor may provide that information to us for business analytics. You will market and promote your sale of Products in accordance with our advertising policy. You will ensure that all end-customers to which you sell Products are aware of, and accept, any terms associated with those Products, including any end user license agreement. You will not make, nor appear to make, any representations or warranties on our behalf.
Support. An End-customer may receive the benefit of support services only to the extent that you have purchased such services for that specific end-customer. For example, you may not distribute any fixes, updates, or other enhancements to Product software unless the applicable end-customer and Product is under an active support services Product offering. For end-customers that have purchased from you a support services Product offering whereby you are required to provide services (we generally refer to this as “reseller support”), you must adequately provide such services to those end-customers, including prompt and responsive first and second level support, as defined in the applicable support services Product offering description.
Confidential Information. You must not disclose to any third party any information furnished by us that is designated as confidential or which you reasonably should know is confidential given the circumstances surrounding disclosure. You may only use this information internally for purposes of promoting, selling and supporting Product. Any other use or disclosure requires our prior written consent (which may be by email).

If enrolled at the end of any term, your participation will renew automatically for an additional twelve- month period. Either you or we can terminate your participation without cause or liability at any time upon 30 days advanced written notice to the other. Any obligation that has accrued prior to termination, such as confidentiality obligations, shall continue following termination. Participation will be suspended immediately upon notice of any breach by you until such breach is corrected. Upon termination of your participation in the program, all rights and benefits granted to you shall immediately terminate, but termination does not eliminate any benefits you have earned unless termination was a result of your breach of the terms of this agreement or the program.

You must comply with the Corrupt Practices Act as per law of the land and similar laws in other jurisdictions with respect to the Products.
