(THE "PROGRAM"). IN THE EVENT FIVE9, Inc. ACCEPTS YOUR CUSTOMER
SPECIFIC REFERRAL, YOU AGREE THAT THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SHALL
APPLY.
THE
"EFFECTIVE DATE" OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE DATE OF FIVE9'S
ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR REFERRAL.
This Customer Specific Referral Agreement (the “CSRA”) is entered into
as of the “Effective Date” and is incorporated by reference into
the Master Referral Agreement by and between Five 9, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and the “Referring Agent”.
WHEREAS, both parties entered into a Master Referral Agreement which
contemplated the creation of individual sub-agreements to be designated
as Customer Specific Referral Agreements;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
representations, and subject to the conditions herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. CUSTOMER Referred from Referring Agent. This Agreement is not effective unless and until
the Company notifies
you in writing (including via email) that your referral has been
accepted. This CRSA is limited to the
specific CUSTOMER referred to herein and nothing herein shall be
construed as applying to any other referred customer or any other
customer of Five9.
2. Referral Fee. In consideration for Referring Agent's referral
of CUSTOMER, the Company shall pay Referring Agent a referral fee
(“Referral Fee”) equal to:
a. 10% of all “net license fees” actually collected and received by the
Company from CUSTOMER for the term of the initial hosted services
license agreement with CUSTOMER. In no event shall any fees be owed
beyond the term of the contractual agreement between Five9 and CUSTOMER.
b. The Referral Fee shall be due and payable for the total number of
site licenses (aka “seats”) purchased by the CUSTOMER when the hosted
services license agreement is first entered into by CUSTOMER and Five
9. In the event additional seat licenses are purchased by an existing
referred CUSTOMER, the referral fee applied to those additional seats
shall follow the same formula detailed in Section 2a. In the event that
seat licenses are discontinued at any time, the referral fee applied to
any and all remaining seats shall follow the same formula detailed in
Section 2a.
c. No Referral Fee shall be due, owing or payable for any set-up fees,
local or long-distance charges or any other amounts charged by the
Company to CUSTOMER.
d. All Referral Fees shall be due and payable to Referring Agent within
30 days of the date the Company actually receives payment from CUSTOMER
of the net license fees for which the Referral Fee is due. No Referral
Fees shall be due on outstanding or unpaid CUSTOMER invoices.
e. “Net license fees” shall mean only monthly seat license fees
actually collected by the Company after deduction of any taxes,
charge-backs, discounts, refunds, tariffs and other extraordinary
charges.
3. Company Discretion. The Company has the right, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to determine whether and on what terms it will
enter into an agreement or modify an existing agreement with the
CUSTOMER and whether to accept or reject or terminate any agreement
with the CUSTOMER. If the Company declines to enter into an
agreement with the CUSTOMER, the Company shall have no obligation to
Referring Agent hereunder with respect to such CUSTOMER or regarding
any agreement with such CUSTOMER that occurs three (3) months after
termination of the Master Referral Agreement between the Referring
Agent and the Company.
4. Relationship Between The Parties. Referring Agent shall
operate as an independent contractor and shall not act as, or be, an
agent, employee, partner or joint venturer of the Company.
Referring Agent shall in no way have authority to bind or obligate the
Company in any respect.
5. Compliance With All Laws. Referring Agent shall perform the
services provided herein in compliance with all applicable laws, rules,
and regulations.
6. Termination of Customer Specific Referral Agreement. This CSRA
terminates upon either the termination of the specific license
agreement between the CUSTOMER and Five9 or three (3) years from the
Effective Date of this CSRA, whichever is earlier. However, this CSRA
may be earlier terminated by the Company for cause. Termination for
cause shall include, but is not limited to, breaches of confidentiality
or disclosures of proprietary information to third parties including
direct competitors of the Company; or intentional misrepresentations or
fraudulent actions or statements by Referring Agent as to Company’s
products, services, pricing, license terms or any other aspect of the
Company’s business to prospective customers or to any
third-party. This Customer Specific Referral Agreement shall
survive the termination of the Master Referral Agreement, of which it
is a part, provided that the CUSTOMER is an active user of the Five9
VCC at the time the Master Referral Agreement terminates.
7. Miscellaneous. This Customer Specific Referral Agreement is an
attachment to and part of the Master Referral Agreement and is governed
by the terms and conditions of the Master Referral Agreement and
together with the Master Referral Agreement and any other Customer
Specific Referral Agreements constitutes the Entire Agreement between
the Company and Referring Agent and supersedes all prior agreements
between the parties, whether oral or written, and may only be amended
by a writing signed by both parties. This CSRA shall be governed
by and construed under the laws of the State of California without
regard to its conflict of law rules. Venue for all disputes
arising out of this CRSA shall be Alameda County, California. Any
notice or other communication required or permitted to be given by
either party shall be given in writing either personally or by U.S.
first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at the
address shown below such party’s signature hereto or to such other
address as either party shall indicate by proper notice to the other in
the same manner as provided above. All notices will be deemed
effective either upon receipt or five (5) business days after mailing
in accordance with the above provisions. This CSRA may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This CSRA may be amended only by a writing executed
by the parties hereto and the observance of any term of this CSRA by a
party hereto may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the
written consent of the other party. If one or more provisions of
this CSRA are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such
provision, or such portion of such provision as may be necessary, shall
be excluded from this CSRA and the balance of the CSRA shall be
interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be
thereafter enforceable in accordance with its terms.
