Partner Program Agreement

Partner Program Agreement

Last Modified: July 1, 2021

PLEASE READ THIS PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

This is a contract between you (the Partner or Provider, together addressed as Participant(s)) and us (Biyo). It describes how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the languages are necessary “legalese”, but we have tried to make it as readable as possible.

This document applies to your participation in our Partner Program (the “Program”) either at the Partner level or at the Provider level. Please note that you can only participate in the Program as either a Provider or a Partner, but not both at a time. These terms are so important that we cannot have you participate in our Program unless you agree to them. By participating in our Program, you are agreeing to these terms. 

We periodically update these terms. We might also choose to replace these terms in their entirety if, for example, the Program ends, or becomes part of another partner program. If we update or replace the terms we will let you know via an in-app notification in your portal or by email. If you don’t agree to the update or replacement, you can choose to terminate as we describe below.

“Agreement” means this Biyo Partner Program Agreement and all materials referred or linked to here.

“Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential. Whether or not marked or designated as confidential, Confidential Information shall include all information concerning: (a) Disclosing Party’s customer and prospect information, including Customer Data and Customer Materials, as defined in the Terms of Service (b) Disclosing Party’s past, present or proposed products, marketing plans, engineering and other designs, technical data, business plans, business opportunities, finances, research and development materials. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

“Cross Sell” means a limited Biyo partner program which, at our discretion in each individual instance, allows a Partner or Provider to be eligible for Revenue Share on a sale of a complementary Subscription Service to an existing End User, provided other relevant eligibility and acceptance and participation criteria stated in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement have been fulfilled. Cross Sell is only available in situations where an End User contracts directly with us for the provision of the Biyo Products in all original and ensuing transactions. Additionally, Cross Sell is only available in proposed Qualified Transactions where all involved parties — namely existing Partner(s) or Provider(s), new potential Partner or Provider, and End User — are eligible to participate, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We will notify the Partner or Provider directly when and if they become eligible for Cross Sell. Cross Sell may not be available in all countries or regions, and we reserve the right to change, suspend, limit, or cancel the program, in whole or in part, at any time by notifying the affected Partner or Provider through email, in-app or by any other reasonable form of notice.

“Terms of Service” means those terms and conditions located at https://biyopos.com/terms-of-use/ as modified from time to time. 

“End User” means the authorized actual user of the Biyo Products or the party on whose behalf you use the Biyo Products. 

“End User Data” means all information that End User, or you acting on End User’s behalf, submits or collects via the Biyo Products and all materials that End User, or you acting on End User’s behalf, provides or posts, uploads, inputs or submits for public display through the Biyo Products.

“Net Revenue” means the initial fee, any renewal fees, and any upgrade or downgrade fees that are actually paid to us by an End User or by Partner or Provider for an End User for the Subscription Service. Net Revenue shall: (i) be calculated net of any discounts, taxes payable and subsequent refunds not due to a contract breach by Biyo, and (ii) shall exclude any implementation, customization, training, consulting or other professional services, or fees for third-party products or services.

“Other Products” means those products and services that we offer, which are not included in the Subscription Service.

“We”, “us”, “our”, and “Biyo” means Biyo, LLC.

“You” and “Partner” or “Provider” means the party, other than Biyo, entering into this Agreement and participating in the Program.

 

2. Non-Exclusivity

This Agreement does not create an exclusive agreement between you and us. Both you and we will have the right to recommend similar products and services of third parties and to work with other parties in connection with the design, sale, installation, implementation and use of similar services and products of third parties.

You can only participate in our Program as either a Partner or a Provider at any one time. Your acceptance and participation as a Provider does not mean that you will be accepted into our Program as a Partner. Each level of participation has its own eligibility requirements that must be met and maintained separately. 

3. Qualified Transactions

a. Partner and Provider Rights and Obligations. We grant you, subject to the limitations set forth below, a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to: (i) demonstrate and promote the Biyo Products to your prospects and customers, and (ii) to provide End Users access to use the Biyo Products in accordance with this Agreement and the Terms of Service, provided that End Users agreed to the Terms of Service. At our discretion, we will provide limited sales support to you, such as occasional participation on a call with you and a prospect.

b. Compliance with Program Policies. You will comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at all times, including the Program Policies applicable to you which are incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, if you are participating in the Program as a Partner, the Partner Program Policies will include requirements that a Partner must complete in order to qualify for a certain partner tier. Furthermore, Partners must meet the Active Engagement (defined in section 3.g., below) requirement for all Qualified Transactions. Failure to comply with the Partner Program Policies may result in termination of this Agreement in accordance with the “Termination” section of this Agreement or in accordance with any other termination right we may have.

c. Program Limits. If you are a Partner, there are no limits as to the number of Qualified Transactions you may be entitled to. 

d. Other Eligibility Requirements. To be eligible for a Revenue Share, a prospect must be registered, accepted and valid in accordance with the ‘Submission, Acceptance and Validity’ or the ‘Shared Leads’ section. You are not eligible to receive a Revenue Share or any other compensation from us based on transactions for Other Products, based on transactions with a Biyo Lead (as defined below) or if: (i) such compensation is disallowed or limited by federal, state or local law or regulation in the United States or the laws or regulations of your jurisdiction; (ii) the applicable End User objects to or prohibits such compensation or excludes such compensation from its payments to us or our Affiliates; (iii) we determine that you are acting, or have acted, in a way that has or may negatively reflect on or affect us with respect to a given transaction; (iv) the End User has paid or will pay such commissions, referral fees, or other compensation directly to you; (v) the End User participates in this Program, or (vi) for any transactions with End User that precede in time to you becoming a Partner or Provider in this Program under this Agreement. In competitive situations with other Partners or Providers, we may elect to enable Cross Sell (in situations where the Subscription Service is complementary and Cross Sell is otherwise available) or to provide the Revenue Share to the partner that actually secures the business with the End User, which may result in you being ineligible for Revenue Share, regardless of whether or not you registered the prospect.

We may terminate this Agreement and/or discontinue Revenue Share payment(s) should you fail to meet any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this subsection of the Agreement or as outlined in the Program Policies at any time.

e. Submission, Acceptance and Validity of Prospects. You must register each prospect with us using the partner tools we provide through your portal (or through a website as we may designate) prior to the close of a Qualified Transaction. To register a prospect, you must provide at least the following information about each prospect: contact first name, contact last name, email, URL and company name. We generally will accept a prospect who, in our reasonable determination: (i) is a new potential customer of ours; (ii) is not, at the time of submission or sixty (60) days prior, one of our pre-existing customers, involved in our active sales process, or your Affiliate; (iii) is a Legitimate Prospect whose contact information was legally obtained.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may choose not to accept a prospect, in our reasonable discretion. We may choose to do so at the time of your registration submission, or we may deregister and reject a prospect if we determine a prospect does not meet the criteria outlined in this Section 3.e. at any point after submission, even in cases where it was initially accepted. At the time of registration submission, we may also advise you on whether a prospect is eligible for Cross Sell. 

A prospect is not considered valid: (i) if it is not registered, (ii) if it is not accepted, (iii) if it is expired, or (iv) after this Agreement is expired or terminated. 

Once the valid prospect is ready to purchase, we will, at our discretion, accept an order and provision the Subscription Service for the End User in order to complete a Qualified Transaction.

Please note that you must have a written and readily available privacy policy and you certify that you are providing the prospect’s information to us in accordance with not only all applicable laws and regulation but also in accordance with your own privacy policy. 

f. Biyo Leads. We may choose to introduce you to, or send you information on, a prospect of ours when we identify that such prospect may have a need for the services you offer (each, a “Biyo Lead”). We can do the same for other partners of ours, even if it is for the same BiyoLead. You may use the information about the Biyo Lead provided only to market and sell your services to them and not for any other purpose (unless the Biyo Lead otherwise consents). Immediately upon our or the Biyo Lead’s request, you will promptly discontinue all use of and delete the Biyo Lead’s information. Biyo Leads are considered our Confidential Information and shall be treated in accordance with the ‘Confidentiality’ section below.

g. Shared Leads. If we decide to participate in the same sales process as you and this results in the sale of the Subscription Service to a prospect that would have otherwise not been valid based on it (i) not being registered, (ii) not being accepted, (iii) being expired, or (iv) exceeding the registered capacity limits or other applicable limits, (each, a “Shared Lead”) and you have an Active Engagement (defined below) with such Shared Lead, then we may in our discretion, determine that Shared Lead will be considered a registered, accepted and valid prospect for the purposes of the ‘Eligibility’ section above. An “Active Engagement” means that you have a fully executed written agreement with the Shared Lead under which you provide your consulting services that (i) either pre-dates the time at which the sale of the Subscription Service is closed, or is signed contemporaneously with the close of the sale of the Subscription Service, and (ii) either extends at least ninety (90) days beyond the close of the sale of the Subscription Service or has a specific and identifiable deliverable, as determined by us in our discretion. Biyo may request you to provide validation that the End User is engaged with you (for example, by providing a copy of your retainer agreement with the End User if we so request) for managed credit and or sold validation.

h. Engagement with Prospects and End Users. We may engage with a prospect, lead or End User directly (i) to enable our Cross Sell program, (ii) to complete the subscription process, (iii) to fulfill or enforce our obligations under an agreement with such prospect, (iv) to provide support, (v) to conduct our standard marketing and sales activities with prospects; (vi) in connection with the Optional Programs, or (vii) as otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

If and when we do engage, we may choose how to engage with each prospect and may request that you collaborate with us in the engagement. Upon our request, you will provide us with the name and contact information of the prospect, and facilitate an introduction. If a prospect is not valid then we may choose to maintain it in our database and we may choose to engage with such a prospect. 

If we request, you will facilitate our participation on calls with you and various End User(s). We may request to participate on these calls in an effort to help to ensure the quality of your service delivery and for the purposes of managing the Program. 

In a resulting Qualified Transaction, (i) the End User will contract directly with us for provision of the Biyo Products, or (ii) you will place order(s) and contract with Biyo in your own capacity for the Biyo Products with us, specifying the terms of the Biyo Products ordered and providing information about the End User as we may request. Option (ii) herein is not possible if the resulting transaction is a Cross Sell type transaction because you may not purchase on behalf of an End User and take on End User’s contractual obligations for a Cross Sell transaction. In the case of (ii) herein, where possible, and the prospect is considered registered, accepted and valid for the purposes of this Section 3., you may sell the Biyo Products to End Users at a price determined solely by you and you will ensure that your agreement with the End User incorporates our Terms of Service or contains those provisions set forth in our Terms of Service.  If you purchase on behalf of an End User, you agree to be responsible for the order placed and to guarantee payment of all fees. Additionally, such subscription may be used only for the End User for which it was originally purchased, and it may not be repurposed for or reassigned to an alternate End User without our prior written consent.

Regardless of the method of purchase and which party is the contracting entity as established by the order, we require each End User to agree to the Terms of Service when using the portal.

You will take all reasonable steps to ensure that End Users do not use the Biyo Products in violation of the Terms of Service. If you discover or have to believe that any End User is making use of the Biyo Products in violation of the Terms of Service, then you will immediately notify us in writing.

4. Revenue Share and Payment

a. Requirements for Payment; Forfeiture. In order to receive payment under this Agreement, you must have: (i) agreed to the terms of this Agreement, fulfilled all eligibility requirements to be a Partner or Provider under this Agreement and are in compliance with this Agreement; (ii) provided us with all of your account information, including your bank information; and (iii) submitted to us all the necessary documents. In order for you to receive the Revenue Share you must have submitted the required documentation set out in this section no later than thirty (30) days after the end of any given month.  If we have not received such documentation within this timeframe, we will not process the Revenue Share payment until the next payment date for applicable Qualified Transactions.

All payments by Biyo will be made by bank transfer (or with Zelle®) and it is your responsibility to ensure that you have provided us with the most up-to-date and correct bank information to facilitate the transfer. We will not issue payment by any other means. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) if any of the requirements set forth in this section, Section 4. a., remain outstanding for six (6) months immediately following the close of a Qualified Transaction, or (ii) we have attempted to pay you a Revenue Share for a Qualified Transaction by bank transfer, and the attempt was unsuccessful (as confirmed by bank notice), to no fault of our own; and (iii) we reached out to either the Primary Contact, Billing Contact or Decision Maker Contact on your account (all of which you can update in app) to obtain the necessary information and have not received a response; and (iv) six (6) months has passed since the date of the initial, failed bank transfer described herein, then your right to receive Revenue Share arising from any and all Qualified Transactions(s) with the associated End User will be forever forfeited (each, a “Forfeited Transaction”). We will have no obligation to pay you Revenue Share associated with a Forfeited Transaction.

Once you comply with all of the requirements in this Section 4 then you will be eligible to receive Revenue Share on Qualified Transactions, as long as these Qualified Transactions do not involve the same End User associated with a Forfeited Transaction.

b. Revenue Share Payment. We, or one of our Affiliates, will pay the Revenue Share amount due to you within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month in an amount equal to the Net Revenue we recognize as revenue from Qualified Transactions, multiplied by the Revenue Share percentage.

For example, pre-payment in full by an End User for an annual commitment will be recognized by us as revenue monthly on a pro-rata basis for the length of time the Subscription Service was provided during each month during the annual term, and you will receive the Revenue Share on that same monthly pro-rata basis. The currency in which the Revenue Share is paid will be equal to the currency that applies to the Qualified Transaction. We will not pay more than one Revenue Share or other similar referral fee on any given partner sale (unless we choose to in our discretion). We may withhold the Revenue Share payment until the Revenue Share amount that we owe you is above $100 USD.

c. Taxes. You are responsible for the payment of all taxes applicable to the Revenue Share. You will be assessed sales tax unless you provide us with a valid reseller certificate that indicates tax should not be applied to the Revenue Share amount.  All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any amounts owed by you to us.

d. Payment Obligations. In the event you placed the order and contracted with us directly for an End User, for payments made by credit card, you will provide us with your valid and updated credit card information or bank account information for the payment of Biyo Products fees. You authorize us and our Affiliates to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable. You also authorize us and our Affiliates to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party. For payments made by invoice, all amounts invoiced are due and payable within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. In the event you placed the order with us for an End User, if you do not pay fees due for an End User’s account within ten (10) days after notice of non-payment from us or our Affiliate, we may suspend the Biyo Products while any payment is delinquent and may charge a reactivation fee to reinstate any Biyo Products. We may also terminate or suspend the End User’s access to the Biyo Products and/or to initiate direct communication with the End User.  Notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, you remain obligated to pay all fees due for our provision of the Biyo Products to End Users in connection with an order placed with us by you for an End User. If you placed the order with us for an End User and/or contracted with us on their behalf, you will have sole responsibility for invoicing and collecting fees for the Biyo Products from the End User. Your obligation to pay fees to us is not conditioned upon your receipt of payment from the End User.

5. Training and Support

a. Training and Support. We will make available to you, without charge, various webinars and other resources made available as part of our Program. We will also make available to you a Partner Toolset, accessible through your Biyo Partner Portal. We may change or discontinue any or all parts of the Partner Toolset, and any other Program benefits or offerings at any time without notice.

b. End User Training and Support. We may require End Users to go through and/or purchase our standard Biyo on-boarding. We will provide user training purchased by an End User as set forth in a mutually agreed upon order between the End User and Biyo. We may communicate directly with any End User about use of the Biyo Products and any support issues experienced.

c. Biyo Demo Account.  If we make a Biyo Demo Account available to you, then you will use the Biyo Demo Account solely for your own education, demonstration and evaluation purposes. You are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.  You will not lease, distribute, license, sell or otherwise commercially exploit the Biyo Demo Account. You will not use any End User Data or Customer Data (as defined in the Terms of Service) with the Biyo Demo Account. You can only use your own data (data and information that you specifically own) or the synthetic data provided to you for demonstration purposes by Biyo. You will not exceed the contact limits provided for you in the Biyo Demo Account and will utilize a reasonable number of objects in your use of the Biyo Demo Account. The Terms of Service apply to your use of the Biyo Demo Account. We reserve the right to suspend, modify, or discontinue any or all parts of the Biyo Demo Account at any time without prior notice to you. In the event of a conflict between the terms that apply to the Biyo Demo Account as specified in this Agreement and the Terms of Service, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

6. Optional Partner Programs

We may from time to time offer you optional tools, beta testing programs or partner promotions (the “Optional Programs”). If you choose to use any Optional Programs, you grant us all rights and permissions to take all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the purpose of the Optional Programs. If the Optional Programs include our making certain promotions available to our partners, you will: (i) market and promote the promotion only to your registered and valid prospects, (ii) only market and promote the promotion individually within a distinct sales process, and not engage in any form of mass marketing of the promotion, and (iii) will follow the all the other terms and criteria applicable to that specific promotion as we designate.

We may discontinue all or a portion of any Optional Programs at any time.  

Additional terms may apply to your participation in Optional Programs. We will make any additional terms available to you for your review at the time of the offer to participate in such Optional Programs.

7. Trademarks

You grant to us a nonexclusive, non transferable, royalty-free right to use and display your trademarks, service marks and logos (“Participant Marks”) in connection with the Program and this Agreement.

We retain all ownership rights in Biyo Trademarks. During the term of this Agreement, you may use our trademark as long as you follow the usage requirements in this section and the incorporated guidelines. You must: (i) only use the images of our trademarks that we make available to you as part of your participation in this Program (e.g., certified partner badges), without altering them in any way; (ii) only use our trademarks in connection with the Program and this Agreement; and (iii) immediately comply if we request that you discontinue use.

You must not use any of our trademarks: (a) in a misleading or disparaging way; (b) outside the scope of the Program or this Agreement; (c) in a way that implies we endorse, sponsor or approve of your services or products; or (d) in violation of applicable law or in connection with an obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic or material.

The Biyo Products belong to and are the property of us or our licensors (if any). We retain all ownership rights in the Biyo Products. You agree not to copy, rent, lease, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Biyo Content, or the Biyo Products in whole or in part, by any means, except as expressly authorized in writing by us.

End User will own and retain all rights to the End User Data. If we deem it to be necessary based on the relationship status between you and the End User or the particular situation, we may communicate directly with the End User and/or may port ownership of the portal associated with the Biyo Products to the End User.

9. Confidentiality

a. The Receiving Party shall: (i) protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party using the same degree of care that it uses with its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care, (ii) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, (iii) not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party, and (iv) limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein.

b. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if required to do so under any federal, state, or local law, statute, rule or regulation, subpoena or legal process; provided, however, that (i) Receiving Party will provide Disclosing Party with prompt notice of any request that it disclose Confidential Information, sufficient to allow Disclosing Party to object to the request and/or seek an appropriate protective order or, if such notice is prohibited by law, Receiving Party shall disclose the minimum amount of Confidential Information required to be disclosed under the applicable legal mandate; and (ii) in no event shall Receiving Party disclose Confidential Information to a party other than a government agency except under a valid order from a court having jurisdiction requiring the specific disclosure.

c. Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm to the other party.  Accordingly, each party agrees that the other party will have the right to seek an immediate injunction against any breach or threatened breach of this “Confidentiality” section of this Agreement, as well as the right to pursue any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity for such a breach.

d. No Insider Trading.  During the Term of the Agreement with Biyo, Partner and its officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, “Partner Representative(s)”) may be exposed to the material, non-public information about Biyo under federal or state securities laws. Partner Representatives understand that they may be found to be in violation of applicable laws if they take advantage of such information. If Partner Representatives are exposed to such material, nonpublic information, Partner Representatives agree not to: (1) trade in Biyo’s securities (including common stock, stock options, other Biyo-issued securities, or derivative securities), (2) have others trade in Biyo’s securities on the Partner Representative’s behalf, (3) give trading advice of any kind about Biyo, (4) disclose any material, nonpublic information to anyone else who might then trade, or (5) recommend to anyone that they purchase or sell Biyo’s securities.

You will comply promptly with all opt out, unsubscribe, “do not call” and “do not send” requests, including without limitation such requests from us related to Biyo Leads and Shared Leads.  For the duration of this Agreement, you will establish and maintain a privacy policy that is compliant with all laws and regulations applicable to you and you shall establish and maintain systems and procedures appropriate to effectuate all opt out, unsubscribe, “do not call” and “do not send” requests.

11. Term and Terminitaion

a. Term. This Agreement will apply for as long as you participate in the Program and fulfill all the participation requirements under the Program until terminated.

c. Termination for Agreement Changes. If we update or replace the terms of this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement on five (5) days written notice to us, provided that you send us written notice within ten (10) days after we send you to notice of the change.

d. Termination for Cause.  We may terminate this Agreement and/or suspend your or the End User’s access to the Biyo Products: (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to you of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period, (ii) automatically, within thirty (30) of you failing to meet the Program requirements applicable to you in your capacity as either the Provider or the Partner; (iii) upon fifteen (15) days notice to you of non-payment of any amount due to us if such amount remains unpaid at the expiration of such period, (iv) immediately, if you become the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, (v) immediately, if the End User violates the Terms of Service or applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws or regulations, (vi) immediately, if you breach your confidentiality obligations under this Agreement or infringe or misappropriate Biyo’s intellectual property rights, (vii) immediately, if you breach the terms applicable to your subscription with us, including if you default on your payment obligations to us or our Affiliate, or (viii) immediately, if we determine that you are acting, or have acted, in a way that has or may negatively reflect on or affect us, our prospects, or our customers.

e. Effects of Expiration/Termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason does not terminate your Subscription Service or any Subscription Service you may have purchased on an End User’s behalf. Your purchase and use of the Subscription Services is governed by the Terms of Service. Otherwise, expiration of this Agreement, and termination of this Agreement: (i) without cause by us, (ii) by you with cause, (iii) by you according to the ‘Termination for Agreement Changes’ section, shall not affect our obligation to pay you any earned Revenue Share, so long as the related payment by the End User is recognized by us within thirty (30) days after the date of such termination or expiration. If you are a Partner you will receive one (1) last payment of Revenue Share upon completion of the month in which the related payment by the End User is recognized. In no event shall you be entitled to payment of Revenue Share as both the Provider and the Partner for the same Qualified Transaction. If at any point you are eligible to receive a Revenue Share payment under this Agreement as a Partner that payment amount will not change based on your participation in the Program as a Provider. For example, you will not be able to receive the Revenue Share set out in this Agreement as a Provider on any Qualified Transaction that was completed while participating in the Program as a Partner and vice versa. We will not pay you fees on End User payments recognized by us after thirty (30) days after the date of such termination or expiration. Provided, however, in the event of termination without cause by you, or for cause by us, our obligation to pay and your right to receive any Revenue Share will terminate upon the date of such termination, regardless of whether you would have otherwise been eligible to receive Revenue Share prior to the date of termination. Except as expressly set forth in this section, you are not eligible to receive a Revenue Share after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration, you will discontinue all use of and delete all Biyo Leads and Shared Leads if we provided them to you and you do not otherwise have consent from the applicable Biyo Lead or Shared Lead to continue use of their data and information. Upon termination or expiration, a prospect is not considered valid, and we may choose to maintain it in our database and engage with such a prospect.

Upon termination or expiration, you will immediately discontinue all use of our trademark and will remove all Biyo badges and references to this Program from your website(s) and other collateral. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not cause your or an End User’s subscription agreement to be terminated.

12. Partner Representations and Warranties
