Margins and Incentives Trelligence offers its resellers a flat discount of 40% of list price on all software. A 10% discount is offered on all services sold by the Reseller and delivered by Trelligence. The discounts are based on Trelligence list prices current at the time (please refer to the separate price list). Trelligence may change list prices with 30 days advanced notice to the resellers. These discounts are for resellers that sell the products or services, communicate the required customer information to Trelligence, and collect payment for sales directly from their clients. For those who do not wish to close the business directly, Trelligence will accept the new leads from the reseller and if the business is closed within 180 days, Trelligence will pay a 10% finders fee on the initial software subscription order. Invoices from Trelligence for licenses sold by the reseller are due and payable in USD within 30 days of the date issued. Any amount not paid when due will bear interest at a rate that is the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the highest rate allowed under applicable law, until such amounts are paid in full by the reseller. Subscription Renewals The reseller has primary responsibility for ordering, invoicing, and processing renewal orders. Affinity Order Forms Trelligence requires that all orders for Affinity and Affinity-related services be submitted to Trelligence using the Affinity Order Forms provided. All required information must be provided on the forms in order for the order to be processed. Trelligence assigns a unique Serial Number to each new customer account, which should be referenced by the reseller and the customer in all order and account-related communications. Order forms are provided to the resellers via the Trelligence web site partner portal. Software Activation via License Keys It will be the responsibility of each customer to request software activation License Keys using the request form in the Affinity software. To submit a request, the user must provide their name, account name and their account Serial Number. A License Key will activate Affinity for the applicable subscription period. Consulting Services Trelligence can provide consulting services to end users, but encourages the reseller to provide these services directly. The services are generally focused on configuring the Affinity templates to model the business processes of the firm that purchased Affinity Software. Consulting services are priced on a per project basis and can involve both short and long term engagements. Where appropriate, the reseller and Trelligence may bid and deliver a joint consulting project with an end client in which the distribution of revenue will be agreed on prior to submitting the proposal.
4 Educational Licenses (EDU) The reseller is encouraged to sell educational versions of Affinity to universities and schools with architectural programs. Discounts to the reseller are the same as for commercial versions. Trelligence views the sale of educational software to universities and technical schools as essential to both short term marketing and long term growth. Trial Copies Qualified prospective customers can request a free trial copy of Affinity. Trial versions are licensed like all versions. Trial versions of Affinity software enable the user to evaluate the software for 14 days, after which the software no longer allows the user to save files or complete certain tasks. At that point they are prompted to purchase the software through their reseller. The trial versions have capacity limits and should not be used for live projects. Once the client purchases the software, a software license key allows them to upgrade the trial to a full working version. Duration of Relationship Once the agreement and attachments have been signed by the reseller and by Trelligence, the reseller relationship will remain in effect until terminated by either party. Either party should notify the other of its intention to terminate with 30 days written notice. Trelligence reserves the right to review and amend this agreement. Status Reviews The reseller shall agree to participate in quarterly status calls and annual status reviews with Trelligence, to review lead status, sales results, prospects and opportunities, plans for the upcoming period, and agree specific goals and objectives. Reservation of Rights Notwithstanding anything else, as between the parties, Trelligence retains (i) all title to and all rights to the Affinity Software, all copies and derivative works thereof; (ii) all of the Trelligence trade names and trademarks; and (iii) all copyrights, patent rights, trade secret rights, moral rights and all other intellectual property rights of any sort in the Affinity Software.
