Terms and Conditions
The following terms apply to your participation in the Krypt Reseller Program. By clicking “ACCEPT” you are agreeing to follow the terms and conditions in this Agreement. This Agreement is between Krypt Inc. (herein referred to as “VPLS” or “we”) and the Reseller Partner who signs below (“you” or “Reseller Partner”).
1. Who can participate?
Users from around the world may participate however residents of the United States must complete and fill in IRS Form W-9.
2. Definitions:
“Reseller Partner” is the person or entity who is selling VPLS’ products and services under their own brand or entity which may be white labeled. “White Label” refers to rebranding VPLS’ products and services under the Reseller’s own brand or entity. “Lead” refers to the Reseller Partner’s prospect that is interested in VPLS’ products and services.
“End Customers” refers to a customer of the Reseller Partner that is signed up for services with VPLS. End Customers are not qualified to become resellers as they must prove intent to resell VPLS’ products and services. Reseller Partners must have a website that advertises VPLS’ products and services at equal or currency equivalent cost to VPLS’ advertised price. The product and services advertised must be accurate and are periodically checked by VPLS’ staff. Any Reseller Partner found to have inaccurate information must correct it within 48 hours or risk being stripped of benefits and removed from the Partner Program.
3. Relationship:
VPLS and Reseller Partner are independent contractors and nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions places VPLS and Reseller Partner in the relationship of principal and agent, master and servant, partners or joint venturers. Neither party has, expressly or by implication, or may represent itself as having, any authority to make contracts or enter into any agreements in the name of the other party, or to obligate or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever. Reseller Partner is solely responsible for all expenses associated with reselling VPLS’ products and services. VPLS may from time to time provide to the Reseller Partner promotional materials with respect to one or more of the VPLS’s services, and the Reseller Partner may use and display such promotional materials in promoting the applicable services to leads. The Reseller Partner may, at its own expense, provide materials and advertising to promote VPLS’s services; provided that such promotional materials have been pre-approved in writing by VPLS in each instance and comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and all trademark and other VPLS rules and policies. In no event shall the Reseller Partner use VPLS or any VPLS subsidiaries’ name in any mass mailings that could reasonably be considered spam without the prior written consent of VPLS.
The Parties shall exercise a duty of good faith and fair dealing between one another during the life of this Agreement. VPLS will provide information about itself and its business to reasonably enable the Reseller Partner to make a fair and accurate representation to the Prospect about VPLS’s business. The Reseller Partner warrants that any information subsequently provided to third parties or Leads about VPLS will be accurate based on information actually received from VPLS and that such Resellers will reasonably reflect a real and legitimate business opportunity for VPLS. The Parties are free to enter into similar agreements with other people and entities. The Parties further agree that no exclusive arrangement is implied or agreed to as a result of this agreement.
4. Reseller Discount and Tiers:
VPLS provides tiered discounts to Resellers based on the Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) of the Reseller’s unique account. If a Reseller partner has multiple accounts under different brands or entities, the MRR can not be combined.
The discounts provided above are intended to ensure the Reseller receives profitability from selling VPLS’ products and services however VPLS can not guarantee fixed margins if the Reseller Partner chooses to sell the product or service lower than VPLS’ website advertised price. This practice of selling below VPLS’ advertised price is strongly discouraged and can result in a Reseller losing their benefits and discount tier. The Diamond Reseller tier is currently available on an invitation only basis and resellers do not automatically qualify for Diamond status by meeting the Monthly Recurring Revenue and Specialization requirements.
Specializations are achieved by demonstrating the ability to sell and support the product or services in each specialization category. Some specialization categories may require an oral or online multiple choice test. Resellers are only permitted to sell products and services they have gained specialization in. Accelerated discounts may also be applied for Resellers that are specialized in certain products and services.
