Program Participation
Acceptance. Once you complete an application to become a Partner, we will review your application and notify you whether you have been accepted. We may require you to complete certain requirements or certifications before acceptance. If we do not notify you of acceptance within thirty (30) days, your application is considered rejected.
Non-Exclusivity. This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship. Both Parties have the right to recommend similar products and services of third parties and to work with other parties in connection with similar services and products.
Program Policies. You will comply with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable program policies made available to you through the Platform at all times.

Reseller Partners must ensure that each End Customer agreement includes (or incorporates by reference) the Typewise Standard Terms attached as Annex 1, and that End Customers comply with them. To the extent permitted by law, Typewise is an intended third-party beneficiary of Annex 1. Reseller Partners may not sublicense the Solution except as expressly permitted by Annex 1.

You are not eligible for commission if: (a) it is disallowed by applicable law; (b) the End Customer objects to or prohibits such compensation; (c) the commission was obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of tracking links, or in violation of the spirit of the Program; or (d) you are otherwise ineligible under the Program Policies.
Payment. In order to receive payment, you must have an active account on the Platform with a valid payment method and have completed all required tax documentation. Payments will be made in accordance with the Platform's payment schedule. You are responsible for all applicable taxes and fees.
Marketing and Trademark Use
Each Party may use the other Party's name and logo to list the other Party as a partner on its website and marketing materials, solely for partner marketing purposes. Any use must comply with reasonable written brand guidelines provided by the other Party. Either Party may request removal or correction of non-compliant or misleading use, and the other Party will implement such request without undue delay. Press releases, case studies, or public announcements require prior written agreement of both Parties.

No license to any software is granted by this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Partner will not reverse engineer, decompile, modify, or create derivative works of the Solution, except to the extent prohibited by mandatory law. Feedback provided by Partner may be used by Typewise without restriction, provided no Partner Confidential Information is disclosed.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination, Partner must stop presenting itself as an authorized partner and each Party must cease using the other Party's trademarks and logos (subject to reasonable wind-down).

The Parties will reasonably cooperate to ensure an orderly transition for any affected End Customers.
