AWS PARTNER NETWORK TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: January 28, 2022

These AWS Partner Network Terms and Conditions (these “Terms”) govern your participation in the AWS Partner Network Program (the “Program”) and are an agreement between the AWS Contracting Party (also referred to as “AWS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you” or “your”). These Terms take effect when you click an “Accept” button or check box presented with these Terms or, if earlier, when you receive or use any Benefits (the “Effective Date”). You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are entering into these Terms for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity. Please see Section 9 for definitions of certain capitalized terms used in these Terms.

1. Program Overview and Administration.

1.1 Joining the Program. To join the Program, you must submit a complete Program application through the APN Site, agree to the AWS Customer Agreement, and be accepted by AWS into the Program. Acceptance into the Program does not authorize you to resell or sublicense AWS services.

1.2 Program Administration. If you are accepted into the Program, by providing your Program Account Information, you may create a Program account where you can manage your participation in the Program. We may use your Program Account Information to send you information about AWS, the Program, or other information that we think might be of interest to you. We handle your Program Account Information, and any other personal information we receive from your use of the APN Site or otherwise collect during your participation in the Program, in accordance with the AWS Privacy Notice. Except to the extent AWS is at fault, you are responsible for all activities that occur under your Program account.

1.3 Program Fees. We bill Program fees as described on the APN Site. You will pay AWS the Program fees, including applicable taxes or similar fees, in accordance with the AWS Customer Agreement using one of the payment methods we support. All Program fees paid to AWS are non-refundable.

1.4 Your Conduct. You will at all times (a) conduct your activities in the Program in a professional and competent manner and, when applicable, in accordance with the AWS Community Codes of Conduct, (b) comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and orders of any governmental authority, and (c) not engage in any harmful, false, or deceptive acts or practices. 

2. Benefits and Content Provided by AWS.

2.1 Program Benefits.

(a) Generally. As part of the Program, we might invite you to participate in opportunities or provide you with funding or other benefits (collectively, “Benefits”) related to your activities that support usage, promotion, or knowledge of AWS services (collectively, “Projects”). Your participation in the Program, including any Projects, or your receipt of any Benefits, are governed by these Terms and any additional terms, conditions, guidelines, and requirements expressed as “Additional Terms” (collectively, “Additional Terms”) that are made available to you (including from third parties) whether via email, a program guide, or letter. If we make these Additional Terms available to you, they are incorporated by reference into these Terms. By participating in a Project or accepting the Benefits, you agree to the Additional Terms.

(b) Eligibility. You are only eligible for Benefits as part of a Project if you (i) submit a Project proposal to AWS, (ii) receive AWS’s approval that you are eligible for such Benefits prior to the Project start date, and (iii) complete the Project in accordance with your Project proposal, in jurisdictions approved by AWS, and in compliance with these Terms. Benefits are provided by us pursuant to these Terms as determined by AWS and subject to your compliance with these Terms and any other agreements between you and AWS, its affiliates, Sinnet or NWCD (as applicable) (e.g., the AWS Customer Agreement). If you receive Benefits for which AWS determines you are not eligible, you will return such Benefits upon our request, or we may cancel such Benefits or make corresponding reductions to any of your future Benefits.

(c) Use. You may not use any Benefits for any purpose other than for their intended use as communicated to you by AWS. Benefits may not be used by your employees for their personal benefit.

(d) Government Customer Projects. If you accept Benefits in support of a Project relating to an existing or potential business relationship with a Government customer (a “Government Customer Project”), you agree that:

(i) If the Benefits are in the form of funding, the Government must derive independent financial benefit from your consumption of the Benefits (i.e., free or discounted products or services from you).

(ii)You will comply with all applicable Government procurement laws, rules, regulations, and contract provisions, including any that pertain to discounts and rebates, or that pertain to ethics and integrity (e.g., prohibitions against gratuities, bribery, corruption, kickbacks, conflicts of interest, false statements or claims, etc.). Your use of Benefits must not create a conflict of interest (or the appearance of a conflict of interest) for you or AWS, or give rise to any liability for AWS. AWS recommends you confirm with the Government customer’s contracting officer, ethics official, or other applicable Government representative that your use of Benefits is lawful, ethical, and permissible.

(iii) You will disclose to Government customers the details regarding your receipt of Benefits to the extent required by applicable law, any Government contracting requirements, or AWS. AWS is not responsible for confirming the accuracy of such disclosures prior to distributing Benefits. If you provide recommendations to a Government customer regarding AWS services, Benefits should not impact such recommendations, and you will not use Benefits for the Government Customer Project unless you first disclose in writing to the Government customer that AWS is providing you Benefits for the Project.

(e) Anti-Bribery. The Amazon Code of Conduct prohibits the paying of bribes to anyone, for any reason. You will not violate or knowingly permit your employees or representatives to violate the foregoing prohibition or any applicable anti-corruption laws, and will immediately notify AWS if you become aware of any investigation, complaint, litigation, or other proceedings against you or your employees or representatives regarding such violations related to any Project.

(f) Responsibility. You are solely responsible for ensuring you are eligible to receive, and that you are using, Benefits in accordance with applicable law. You will hold harmless AWS and its affiliates, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives from and against any loss, damage, judgment, settlement, expense, interest, and any other liability (including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs) related to any Project.

2.2 Program Content. We might provide you text, images, audio, video, or other content (excluding software) related to the Program (“Program Content”), including a graphic image identifying you as a Program participant (the “Partner Logo”), through the APN Site, third-party websites or software, or other means. We grant you a limited, revocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferrable license to (a) reproduce, display, and distribute the Program Content (other than the Partner Logo) solely for the purpose of marketing our services to your customers, and (b) if you are eligible as described on the APN Site, display the current version of the Partner Logo (as AWS may update from time to time) on your website and in your own offline materials in accordance with the AWS Marks for APN Guidelines and the Program marketing tools available to you under the Program, solely to identify your participation in the Program. You may not modify, alter, or otherwise create derivative works of any Program Content unless expressly permitted by AWS. If you are not eligible to use the Partner Logo as described on the APN Site, you may not use the Partner Logo or refer to yourself as an APN Partner, a partner of AWS, or a member of the Program. We own and reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the Program Content, and related intellectual property rights, and except as expressly described in this Section 2.2, no rights to the Program Content, or related intellectual property rights are transferred or licensed pursuant to these Terms.

8.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms, including any applicable Additional Terms and all other documents incorporated by reference herein, are the entire agreement between you and AWS regarding the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, agreements, or communications between you and AWS, whether written or verbal, regarding the subject matter of these Terms. We will not be bound by, and specifically object to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to the provisions of these Terms (whether or not it would materially alter these Terms). If there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control, except that these Terms will control with respect to any Additional Terms from a third party.

8.4 Force Majeure. We and our affiliates will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical or power outages, utilities or other telecommunications failures, earthquake, storms or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.

8.8 Independent Contractors; Non-Exclusive Rights. We and you are independent contractors, and these Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship. The use of the term “APN Partner” or “partner of AWS” refers solely to membership in the Program. You will not make any representations, warranties, or guarantees to any third party on behalf of AWS. Neither party, nor any of its respective affiliates, is an agent of the other for any purpose or has the authority to bind the other. Each party is solely responsible for establishing the prices of its own products and services. These Terms are non-exclusive and do not preclude AWS or you from entering into similar agreements with third parties. Both parties reserve the right to (a) develop or have developed for its products, services, concepts, systems, or techniques that are similar to or compete with the products, services, concepts, systems, or techniques developed or contemplated by the other party, and (b) assist third party developers or systems integrators who might offer products or services which compete with the other party’s products or services.

Unless otherwise expressly permitted by AWS in writing, you will not disclose AWS Confidential Information during the Term or at any time during the 5-year period following the end of the Term. You will take all reasonable, technical, and organizational measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination or unauthorized use of AWS Confidential Information, including, at a minimum, those measures you take to protect your own confidential information of a similar nature. You will not issue any press release or make any other public communication regarding your participation in the Program without our prior written consent.

8.11 Notice. To provide notice under these Terms, each party must deliver such notice in accordance with the notice provisions in the AWS Customer Agreement, except if the AWS Contracting Party is ACTS, then instead of notice delivery using the address, facsimile, or website provided in the notice provisions of the AWS Customer Agreement, (i) any notice to ACTS under these Terms must be delivered to 4F, Central Building B21, Universal Business Park, No. 10 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, P.R. China, or sent via facsimile to 86-10-5657-3751, and (ii) references to “AWS China Site” in the notice provisions of the AWS Customer Agreement are replaced with “AWS Site” (as defined herein).

8.13 Government Code of Conduct, Training, and Internal Controls. If you are engaged in dealings with Government customers and conduct Government Customer Projects or otherwise accept Benefits in relation to your Government business, you must maintain an adequate (a) written code of business conduct and ethics regarding interactions with Government customers and representatives (“Government Code of Conduct”), (b) ethics and compliance training program regarding your Government Code of Conduct for your employees and representatives, and (c) internal control system that includes compliance points of contact within your company, periodic reviews/auditing of current policies and practices to confirm compliance with your Government Code of Conduct, and an internal reporting mechanism allowing for anonymous or confidential reporting of suspected instances of improper conduct and appropriate disciplinary action.

8.14 No Waivers. The failure by us to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit our right to enforce such provision at a later time. All waivers by us must be in writing to be effective.

8.15 Severability. If any portion of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to give effect to the intent of the original portion. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed from these Terms but the rest of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

8.16 Ratings. AWS may use mechanisms that rate, or allow customers to rate, your products or services, and may make these ratings publicly available.

8.17 Special Provisions for China. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, if the AWS Contracting Party is ACTS, then if any Benefits in connection with the Program involve AWS promotional credits (“Promotional Credits”) for the AWS China Regions, ACTS may make a suggestion to Sinnet and NWCD regarding such Promotional Credits that may apply to you, but the final decision regarding any such benefits will be made by Sinnet and NWCD.
