OpenText Marketplace Application Provider Agreement

This OPENTEXT MARKETPLACE APPLICATION PROVIDER AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is effective beginning with your initial use of the Marketplace between you (the “Application Provider”) and, as applicable, Open Text Corporation or its affiliates (“OpenText”). The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth terms and conditions applicable to use of the OpenText marketplace (the “Marketplace”) to distribute and market software applications and add-ons, related documentation and other materials. Before accessing the Marketplace, carefully read this Agreement which applies in addition to the OpenText terms of use for OpenText websites set forth at https://www.microfocus.com/en-us/legal (“Terms of Use“). OpenText will only permit Application Provider to distribute Applications through the Marketplace when such Application Provider is verified to be in good standing as determined in the sole discretion of OpenText. To the extent there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Use, this Agreement shall control.

1. Definitions

Capitalized terms in this Agreement are defined as follows:

“Application Provider Dashboard” means the online tools or services provided by OpenText to each Application Provider, as updated by OpenText from time to time, details of which may be requested by email to MFI-Marketplace admin MFI-marketplace_admin@opentext.com.

“Applications” means the software applications and add-ons, related documentation and other materials that Application Provider makes available via the Marketplace.

“Application Provider Account” means account issued to an Application Provider in connection with the distribution of Application Provider Applications via the Marketplace.

“End User” means any entity which Application Provider, via the Marketplace, allows to use or access its Applications or to whom Application Provider licenses its Applications.

“Intellectual Property Rights” means all patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, rights in trade secrets, database rights, moral rights, and any other intellectual property rights (registered or unregistered) throughout the world.

“Marks” means any name, symbol, trademark, logotype, trade name, domain names, and insignia that each party owns. The trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party, respectively, as owned (or licensed) by such party from time to time.

“Portal” means the various website URLs listed in program guides or as provided by organization, located on OpenText domains, which contain links to copies of relevant program information, documents and terms.

“Payment Account” means the financial account issued by a Payment Processor to an Application Provider that authorizes the Payment Processor to collect and remit payments on the Application Provider's behalf for Applications sold via the Marketplace.

“Payment Processor” means any entity designated from time to time by OpenText to provide services that enable Application Providers with Payment Accounts to be paid for Applications distributed via the Marketplace.

“Personal Data” have the same meaning as in the applicable data protection laws (or their closest equivalent concept or term as defined under such laws including personal information or personally identifiable information (PII) or protected health information (PHI), etc.

“Tax” means any Federal, state, or local sales, use, value added, goods and services, or other similar transaction taxes. This term excludes telecommunication taxes and similar tax types, property taxes, and taxes based on Application Provider’s income, including income, franchise, business and occupation, and other similar tax types.

2. Pricing, Payments and Taxes

  1. This Agreement covers both Applications that End Users can access for free and Applications that End Users pay a fee to access. In order for a fee to be charged and to be paid for Applications distributed via the Marketplace, Application Provider must have a valid Payment Account under a separate agreement with a Payment Processor, be approved by a Payment Processor for a Payment Account and maintain that account in good standing. If there is a conflict between Application Provider’s Payment Processor agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement will govern.
    2.  
  2. Applications are displayed to End Users at prices that Application Provider establishes in its sole discretion. If OpenText believes that Taxes may be owed by Application Provider or OpenText on the sale of Applications, OpenText is authorized to include any such Taxes in the price charged to End Users. Application Provider may set the price for its Applications in the currencies permitted by the Payment Processor. OpenText may display the price of Applications to End Users in their native currency, but OpenText is not responsible to Application Provider for the accuracy of currency rates or currency conversion.
    3.  
  3. OpenText will determine if an Application is taxable in an applicable jurisdiction and if so, the applicable Tax rate will be collected either by OpenText or the Payment Processor and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority for Applications sold to End Users. OpenText may update the countries, territories or other jurisdictions where it will determine and remit the Taxes with notice to Application Provider. In all other countries, territories, or jurisdictions, Application Provider is responsible for determining if an Application is taxable, the applicable rate of Tax to be collected, and for remitting the Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. All Taxes will be deducted from the sales price of Applications sold and the remainder (sales price less Transaction Fee and Taxes, if any) will be remitted to Application Provider. Where OpenText collects and remits Taxes in applicable countries/territories, Application Provider and OpenText will recognize a supply from You to OpenText for Tax purposes, and Application Provider will comply with the relevant Tax obligations arising from this additional supply. Where either OpenText or the Payment Processor is required by applicable (local) legislation to withhold any taxes ("Withholding Taxes") on payments made or received by any of them, OpenText will also deduct an amount equal to such Withholding Taxes from the sales price. Withholding Taxes include, but are not limited to, withholding tax obligations on cross-border payments or imposed by telecommunications taxes.
    4.  
  4. Application Provider may also choose to make Applications available for free. If the Application is free, Application Provider will not be charged a Transaction Fee. To avoid unexpected fees for End Users, Application Provider agrees that Applications that were initially offered free of charge to End Users will remain free of charge. Any additional charges will correlate with an alternative or supplemental version of the Application.
    5.  
  5. Application Provider authorizes OpenText to give End Users refunds in accordance with the Marketplace refund policies as established by OpenText from time to time or the local versions made available to Application Provider. In all other respects, the Payment Processor’s standard terms and conditions regarding refunds will apply. End User refunds may be net of taxes previously charged to End Users for Application purchases.
    6.  
  6. End Users shall be allowed unlimited reinstalls of each Application distributed via the Marketplace without any additional fee, provided however, that if Application Provider removes an Application from the Marketplace due to a Legal Takedown (as defined in Section 6(c)), those Application(s) will be removed from all portions of the Marketplace and users will no longer have a right or ability to reinstall the affected Applications.

    2.  
  2. Where an End User provides Application Provider with OpenText Account information, Application Provider’s Application may only use that information to access that End User's OpenText Account when, and for the limited purposes for which, the End User has given permission to do so.

Application Providers may contact OpenText regarding any questions or concerns regarding user ratings.
