Your participation in the Program based on such material
modifications by providing Zendesk at least thirty (30) days
advance written termination notice, in which case the termination
shall become effective at the earlier of the entry into effect of such
modification or the termination date indicated in Your notice.

A, or any other percentage mutually agreed by the Parties in a
Service Order, of the per-agent fees (i.e., Services Subscription)
listed on Zendesk’s website for the Services listed on Schedule A
for the relevant length of the Customer subscription as of the

thereof) or as otherwise detailed on Schedule A. Invoices shall be
due and payable upon receipt. All Reseller Fees shall be paid,
unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, by wire transfer.
Reseller Fees may only be paid by Reseller in the currency in

Furthermore,
(i) You agree to fully indemnify Zendesk and hold Zendesk and its
Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, costs and expenses arising out of or relating to
any third party claim due to such termination or suspension of
the Services; and
(ii) Zendesk and its Affiliates may negotiate and enter into a direct
relationship and contract for subscription to the Services if You

relationship, you shall not be entitled to any compensation with
respect to such Customer’s subscription to or use of the
Services.

dispute between You and a Customer. You will bring any claims
or causes or action You may have in a separate action, and You
hereby waive any rights You may have under any Law or
regulation to offset, set-off, or withhold any Reseller Fees due. No
refunds or credits for Reseller Fees or other fees or payments will
be provided to You if You or any Customer elects to terminate any
subscription or close or cancel any Account prior to the end of the
then effective Subscription Term or if Zendesk suspends or
terminates such subscription or Account pursuant to its rights
under this Agreement or the Reseller Terms.
(f) Currency Control. You represent and warrant that, as of the
Effective Date of this Agreement, no currency control Laws
applicable in the Territory or other applicable countries where You

Agreement, and specifically such activities relating to Partner’s promotion of Zendesk Service, Partner shall
cooperate with Zendesk and act in good faith. In entering this Agreement Partner further recognizes and accepts the

relations with Zendesk under the Terms.
3. QUALIFIED REFERRALS, COMMISSIONS.
a. “Qualified Referrals” mean Referrals (i) referred by Partner to Zendesk and who complete the sign-up
procedure in accordance with the procedure described in Section 3(b) below; (ii) of whomZendesk has no record in
connection with the Zendesk Service, or who are not, at the time referred to Zendesk by Partner, in any contractual
relations or ongoing negotiations with Zendesk in connection with the Zendesk Service; (iii) who accept the Terms
and acquire within one hundred (100) days of being referred to Zendesk by Partner, at a Referral’s own discretion
and without receiving any monetary or other incentive from Partner, at least monthly subscriptions of any of the
following Zendesk Service plan bundles: (A) 2 agents using the Enterprise Plan, (B) 4 agents using the Plus Plan, or
(C) 8 agents using the Regular Plan (each, as described in the Site at http://www.zendesk.com/product/pricing); and
(iv) who are not rejected by Zendesk, and make at least one payment to receive the Zendesk Service. All Referrals
will be deemed rejected by Zendesk if they do not become a Qualified Referral within one hundred (100) days of
first being submitted to Zendesk by Partner. On a case by case basis, the Parties may mutually agree in writing
(email sufficing) to waive or extend the one hundred (100) day time limit for a particular Referral.
b. Referral Procedure. Each Referral shall be referred to Zendesk by Partner through an online form
provided by Zendesk to Partner, which Partner shall fully complete and submit to Zendesk (“Referral Form”).
Upon receiving each Referral Form, Zendesk shall send an email to the Referral’s email address indicated in the
Referral Form, detailing the steps to be taken towards registration to receive the Zendesk Service and becoming a
Qualified Referral. Zendesk shall be responsible for the sales process to all Referrals, subject to the Parties’

c. Commissions.
i. Responsibilities. Zendesk shall collect all fees from Referrals for the Zendesk Service directly
from Referrals (“Subscription Fees”).
ii. Referral Fees. Upon a Referral becoming a Qualified Referral, Zendesk shall pay Partner referral
fees in arrears at the applicable percentage of the fees listed on Exhibit B (“Referral Fee Percentage”) (excluding
any discounts) payable by the Qualified Referral pursuant to their initial order under the Terms for the first year of
the associated subscription (“Referral Fees”). For initial orders that have subscription terms in excess of one (1)
year, Referral Fees payable with respect to the first year shall be determined proportionately to the total Subscription
Fees payable pursuant to the initial order. For clarity, Partner shall only receive Referral Fees on Qualified
Referral’s initial order and Referral Fees will accrue and be payable for, at most, one year from the date of becoming
a Qualified Referral. Such Referral Fees shall become payable and be paid to Partner within thirty (30) days of the
end of the calendar quarter in which Subscription Fees attributed to such Qualified Referrals are paid to Zendesk. If
a Qualified Referral terminates Service prior to one year after becoming a Qualified Referral, Partner will only
receive a pro-rata portion of the Referral Fees for the year in proportion to the Subscription Fees paid by Qualified
Referral to Zendesk. The Referral Fee Percentage for a Qualified Referral shall be calculated at time of payment
based on projected annual revenue rate (“ARR”) of Qualified Referral Subscription Fees. ARR and the
corresponding Referral Fee Percentage shall be calculated on a per Qualified Referral basis with the Referral Fee
Percentage set in accordance with the ARR of the Qualified Referral. For each Qualified Referral, Referral Fees to
Partner shall be capped at the amounts listed on Exhibit B for the applicable Referral Fee Percentages (“Maximum
Payment”).
iii. Associated charges. Partner shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, duties, governmental
charges and other like charges levied on the Referral Fees, and Partner shall indemnify, defend and hold Zendesk
harmless from and against any claims arising out or relating to all charges emanating from Zendesk’s payment of
Referral Fees.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION.
a. Initial Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue for
twelve (12) months thereafter (“Initial Term”), unless Zendesk rejects Partner’s application to participate in the
Program.
b. Renewal Term. Following expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will be automatically renewed
for additional consecutive terms of twelve (12) months (each, “Renewal Term”), unless a Party gives written notice
of termination to the other Party at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term.
c. Early Termination.
i. Without Cause. Zendesk shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for any or
no reason by giving ten (10) days prior written notice to Partner.
ii. For Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, effective immediately upon
written notice to the other Party who has materially breached this Agreement, provided that prior to terminating this
Agreement the terminating Party shall provide written notice of such material breach and thirty (30) days
opportunity for the breaching Party to cure such breach.
d. Effect of Termination. From and following the date of termination of this Agreement Partner’s rights
