Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider grants Channel Partner the non-exclusive right to market and resell Products. The Products must be obtained by Channel Partner from an authorized Provider distributor, or upon approval by Provider directly from Provider, and may only be resold in the Territory, directly to End Users.

Channel Partners will not sublicense the Products, and End Users are subject to the terms of the then-current End User Agreement included with the Products.

Invoices, Payments, and Delivery
If Channel Partner obtains approval to obtain Products directly from Provider, Channel Partner: (a) will provide Provider with a purchase order with (i) the End User’s full legal name, address, and contact information, (ii) the Product SKU number for the Product ordered and the licensed capacity (e.g. number of Seats, Users, Devices, or appliances), and (iii) the Product price per unit (e.g. Seat, User, Device, or appliance); (b) accepts title to the Hardware and acknowledges risk of loss of or damage to the Products passes to Channel Partner upon (i) delivery to a common carrier at Provider’s point of shipment of (A) the media containing the Software or (B) the Hardware, or (ii) Provider electronically sending the Subscription Key for the Product to the Channel Partner or End User; and (c) will pay Provider the fees for each Product and Subscription provided under this Agreement.

From time-to-time Provider may obtain credit reports on Channel Partner to ascertain its credit worthiness. In the event Provider determines, in its sole discretion, Channel Partner’s credit is not worthy of the payment terms allowed for hereunder, Provider may change those terms in order to meet its assessment of the relative risk.

General
Provider and Channel Partner are independent contractors. No agency or franchisee relationship between Channel Partner and Provider is created by this Agreement. Neither party shall have any right or authority to act on behalf of the other or represent that it has such right or authority. For the purposes of customer service, technical support, and as a means of facilitating interactions, Provider may periodically send Channel Partner messages of an informational or advertising nature via email, and provide account information to related third-parties. Channel Partner may choose to “opt-out” of receiving these messages or information sharing by sending an email to partners@godanet.com requesting the opt-out. Channel Partner acknowledges and agrees that by sending such email and “opting out” it will not receive emails containing messages concerning upgrades and enhancements to Products. However, Provider may still send emails of a technical nature. Channel Partner acknowledges that Provider may use Channel Partner's company name only in a general list of Provider customers. Channel Partner may not assign this Agreement to another person or entity, without first obtaining prior written approval from Provider. Each party affirmatively represents and warrants to the other that this Agreement has been accepted by its duly authorized representative.

Both parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Missouri, USA for all claims arising in or related to the United States; provided however that Provider may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its intellectual property. Both parties expressly waive any objections or defense based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or venue. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure in performance to the extent the delay or failure is caused by events beyond the party’s reasonable control, including, fire, flood, acts of God, explosion, war or the engagement of hostilities, strike, embargo, labor dispute, government requirement, civil disturbances, civil or military authority, disturbances to the Internet, and inability to secure materials or transportation facilities. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter herein and the parties have not relied on any promise, representation, or warranty, express or implied, that is not in this Agreement.
