care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less
than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose
outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in
writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’
employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who
have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less
protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this
Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants
without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its
Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or
accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section.
10.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party
prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at
the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party
is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding
to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the
Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing
secure access to such Confidential Information.

12. INDEMNIFICATION
12.1. Indemnification by Partner. Partner will defend SFDC against any claim, demand, suit
or proceeding made or brought against SFDC by a third party (i) alleging that Partner’s products or
services, or any data that Partner enters into the Services or the Partner Community, infringe the
intellectual property rights of, or have otherwise harmed, such third party; (ii) based upon a
representation made by Partner to such third party; or (iii) based upon a Partner’s breach of this
Agreement (each a “Claim Against SFDC”), and will indemnify SFDC from any damages, attorney fees
and costs finally awarded against SFDC as a result of, or for any amounts paid by SFDC under a
settlement approved by Partner in writing of, a Claim Against SFDC, provided SFDC (a) promptly gives
Partner written notice of the Claim Against SFDC, (b) gives Partner sole control of the defense and
settlement of the Claim Against SFDC (except that Partner may not settle any Claim Against SFDC
unless it unconditionally releases SFDC of all liability), and (c) gives Partner all reasonable assistance, at
Partner’s expense.
12.2. Indemnification by SFDC. SFDC will defend Partner against any claim, demand, suit or
proceeding made or brought against Partner by a third party alleging that the Services, or the Partner
Community, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of such third party (a “Claim
Against Partner”), and will indemnify Partner from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded
against Partner as a result of, or for amounts paid by Partner under a settlement approved by SFDC in
writing of, a Claim Against Partner, provided Partner (a) promptly gives SFDC written notice of the Claim
Against Partner, (b) gives SFDC sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Partner
(except that SFDC may not settle any Claim Against Partner unless it unconditionally releases Partner of
all liability), and (c) gives SFDC all reasonable assistance, at SFDC’s expense. If SFDC receives
information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Services or Partner Community
SFDC may in its discretion and at no cost to Partner (i) modify the Services or Partner Community so that
they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, (ii) obtain a license for Partner’s or Customer’s
(as applicable) continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement; or (iii) terminate any of
Partner’s or Customer’s (as applicable) rights for that Service upon thirty (30) days’ written notice and
refund Partner or Customer (as applicable) any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the
terminated Services. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a
Claim Against Partner arises from (i) Content, a Non-SFDC Application or Partner’s breach of this
Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms; or (ii) the use or combination of the Services,
the Partner Community, or any part thereof with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by
SFDC, if the Services or Partner Community, or use thereof, would not infringe without such combination.
SALESFORCE PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Salesforce Confidential Page 12 of 19
13. Cooperation on Disputes
Partner shall cooperate with SFDC in regard to any inquiry, dispute or controversy in which SFDC may
become involved and of which Partner may have knowledge. Such cooperation shall include disclosure of
relevant documents and financial information, and interviews of Partner’s personnel. Such obligation shall
continue after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
14. Entire Agreement
Partner agrees that this SPPA and the information which is incorporated into this SPPA by written reference
(including reference to information contained in a URL and/or referenced policies and/or guides), or any
applicable Order Form for Program Fees or the purchase of certain Program Benefits, or addendum
attached hereto, constitutes the complete agreement between the Parties relating to Partner’s participation
in the Partner Program. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior representations, written or
oral, regarding Partner’s participation in the Partner Program as well as any other online or click-through
agreement that Partner may have previously entered into with SFDC governing Partner’s participation in
the Partner Program before the SPPA version date provided above. If any term of this Agreement is found
to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain effective. To the extent of any conflict
or inconsistency between the provisions in the body of this SPPA and any addendum or exhibit hereto, the
terms of such addendum or exhibit shall prevail. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the
provisions in the body of this SPPA and any Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall prevail. The
parties agree that any term or condition stated in a Partner purchase order or in any other Partner order
documentation (excluding Order Forms) is void. This SPPA and any Order Form that SFDC and Partner
enter into may not be modified and the rights and restrictions may not be altered or waived except in a
writing signed or accepted electronically by the party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver
is to be asserted, provided however, that (i) SFDC may modify or amend the Program Policies from time
to time as permitted therein; and (ii) SFDC may update the terms of the SPPA effective as of the next
Program Year (as that term is defined in the Program Policies) provided SFDC has posted the new SPPA
thirty (30) days in advance of the start of such Program Year, and Partner’s participation in the Partner
Program and/or accessing of the Partner Community in such subsequent Program Year will constitute its
acceptance of such new SPPA.
15. Assignment
Neither Partner nor SFDC may assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided either Party may assign
this Agreement without consent of the other Party in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate
reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the assigning Party’s assets not involving a direct
competitor of the other Party.

ADDENDUM A
AppExchange Addendum
In addition to the above Term and Conditions, this AppExchange Addendum of the SPPA shall apply to,
and govern, all Partner Applications and Partner’s Consulting Services Listings on the AppExchange.
1. Definitions Applicable to AppExchange Addendum.
AppExchange Applicationmeans a Web-based, on-demand application or component and/or
downloadable software application or component that interoperates with certain of the Services and that
has been approved by SFDC for listing on the AppExchange.
Consulting Services Listing means a listing on the AppExchange describing systems integration
services and similar consulting services a Partner offers to Customers.
Platform means the Services currently branded as Force.com and/or Heroku comprising SFDC’s Web-
based technology platform that includes a user interface, operating system, customization and integration
capabilities for SFDC’s on-demand customer relationship management services, and a framework for
development and deployment of on-demand applications.
Platform API” means SFDC’s application programming interface that supports interoperation of the
Platform with Non-SFDC Applications, including Partner Applications.
Partner Application” means any application and/or component that Partner submits to SFDC for review
and/or listing as an AppExchange Application under this Agreement.
2. AppExchange Listing Program Benefit Overview.
A. Overview. Partner is responsible for evaluating and testing each Partner Application as to
its technology, functionality, performance, security, and user interface before the applicable Partner
Application is submitted to SFDC for review and listed on the AppExchange. SFDC reserves the right to
conduct any type of review of all Partner Applications and Consulting Services Listings. SFDC may adopt
and change its AppExchange review standards and processes in its sole discretion. Partner must submit
each Partner Application and Consulting Services Listing to SFDC for review or listing on the AppExchange
through SFDC’s online submission process. Partner acknowledges that Partner is solely responsible for,
and that SFDC has no responsibility or liability of any kind for, the development, installation, operation, or
maintenance of Partner Applications or Partner Consulting Services. Partner further represents that
Partner shall be solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of any content or
information Partner submits to, or makes available through, the AppExchange. SFDC reserves the right,
in SFDC’s sole discretion and for any reason at any time, to refuse to list a Partner Application or post a
Consulting Services Listing on, and/or to remove any Partner Applications or Consulting Services Listings
from, the AppExchange.
By using the AppExchange to list one or more Partner Applications, Partner agrees that Partner will
(i) ensure any user documentation relating to a Partner Application accurately reflects its functionality,
including detailed security controls and safeguards relating thereto, (ii) ensure Partner’s user
documentation accurately describes the applicable Partner Application, including to what extent
functionality resides within and outside the Platform, and (iii) maintain at all times a current privacy
statement available on Partner’s website which details Partner’s collection, processing and handling of
Partner’s customer’s data, including any personally identifiable information relating to Partner Application
users. Partner shall promptly notify SFDC and all users of each Partner Application in writing prior to
making any update to Partner’s privacy policy and related disclosures associated with item (ii) above.
SALESFORCE PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Salesforce Confidential Page 16 of 19
B. Partner Application Security Review. SFDC may also conduct a security evaluation of
each Partner Application, which may include a qualitative assessment involving a review of Partner’s
completed questionnaire, an interview with Partner, and/or security testing. If a Partner Application is a
hosted, on-demand application, security testing may include remote application-level security testing of the
Partner Application, and network-level security testing including a vulnerability threat assessment. SFDC
may conduct such testing itself or through a third party. SFDC will provide reasonable notice to Partner
before starting such testing. SFDC will also cooperate reasonably with Partner to minimize the effects of
such testing on Partner’s business and operations, including by conducting network-level testing after
business hours if Partner so requests. Partner agrees to cooperate reasonably in any such testing.
Despite the foregoing, such testing may in rare cases cause downtime or other adverse effects on
Partner’s systems. Partner agrees that SFDC and SFDC’s agents or contractors conducting the
testing will bear no responsibility for such adverse effects. Any of Partner’s nonpublic information to
which SFDC obtains access in the course of such security testing will be considered Partner’s Confidential
Information under Section 10 (Confidentiality) of the SPPA. Partner acknowledges that if Partner is not
participating in the Partner Program with respect to a Partner Application, any security review conducted
by SFDC with respect to such Partner Application will be considered null and void, unless otherwise agreed
to in writing by SFDC. SFDC reserves the right to notify Customers that a Partner Application is not listed
on the AppExchange or otherwise enrolled in the AppExchange Program. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the status of SFDC’s review of a Partner Application can be disclosed by SFDC
at SFDC’s sole discretion.
C. AppExchange Listings. To the extent Partner has requested SFDC list Partner’s
Consulting Services Listing and/or Partner Application(s) on the AppExchange, Partner hereby grants
SFDC a nonexclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free license, for as long as Consulting Services
Listings and/or Partner Application(s) are listed on the AppExchange, to market Partner’s Consulting
Services Listings and/or Partner Application(s) and, to the extent Partner requests SFDC to list Partner
Applications with “Test Drive,” “Get it Now” or similar functionality, to permit others to access, install, and
(in the case of downloadable software applications) download Partner Applications through the
AppExchange. Further, Partner grants SFDC a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-
up, royalty-free license to make, use, sell, copy, distribute and modify, and to grant sublicenses to do all of
the foregoing with respect to, any modifications, improvements or enhancements created by Partner to the
Platform. Partner represents and warrants that Partner owns or possesses all intellectual property and
other rights necessary to grant SFDC these licenses. Without limiting any of SFDC’s other rights set forth
herein, if Partner submits for listing a Consulting Services Listing to the AppExchange, Partner agrees that
SFDC may do the following with respect to such listing: (i) collect and publish reviews related to Partner’s
Consulting Services; (ii) publish on the AppExchange the number of completed consulting engagements
Partner has submitted to the Partner Community
and the results of customer satisfaction surveys relating
to the performance of such engagements with such results to be generally compiled and conveyed in the
form of an average numerical overall Customer rating of Partner’s services, and (iii) publish the total
number of SFDC certified consultants working on behalf of Partner’s company. Such certification status
shall relate to Partner’s representatives who have completed and successfully passed SFDC certification
training exams on the Services. Without limiting any of SFDC’s other rights set forth herein, for any Partner
Application listed on the AppExchange, Partner agrees SFDC may (i) collect and publish reviews related
to such Partner Applications, and (ii) collect and publish additional data and metrics about Partner
Applications such as the number of installations of such Partner Applications.
D. Third Party Names in Listings. Partners may not include the names of third parties or
third parties' apps or other third party products in the text of their own Partner Application or Consulting
Services Listing on the AppExchange without express authorization from the third party.
E. Force.com Platform API Token. To the extent that SDFC has provided Partner with a
SALESFORCE PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Salesforce Confidential Page 17 of 19
Force.com Platform API token for a Partner Application, such Force.com Platform API token will be
assigned to and may be used only by users of that particular Partner Application to access the Force.com
Platform API. Partner may not otherwise disclose or expose such Force.com Platform API token to users
of a Partner Application or third parties.
3. Platform API Previews
SFDC may provide Partner access to upcoming updates of the Platform API before making them generally
available. To the extent SFDC provides such access, to help ensure a successful end user experience,
SFDC encourages Partner to conduct regression tests of each Partner Application against any such
upgraded Platform API during any such early access period and to promptly notify SFDC of any issues
Partner encounters.
4. Reviews of AppExchange Applications by Partner
The AppExchange allows Partner to post reviews of AppExchange Applications. Any review by Partner of
an AppExchange Application shall be made in good faith after reasonable evaluation of the full
AppExchange Application. If Partner posts a review of its Partner Application, Partner shall self-identify
and disclose the fact that it is reviewing its own AppExchange Application. If Partner posts a review of a
competitor's AppExchange Application, Partner shall self-identity and disclose the fact that Partner
publishes a competitive AppExchange Application.
5. Service Levels.
A. Availability of Partner Applications. To the extent a Partner Application is not developed
and operated on the Platform, Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Partner
Application available 99% of the time, except as provided below. SFDC will calculate availability for each
calendar quarter, as follows:
Where:
a. total means the total number of minutes for the quarter
b. nonexcluded means downtime that is not excluded
c. excluded means the following:
i. Any planned downtime of which Partner gives 24 hours or more notice to
Partner’s customers who are also Customers. Except in urgent circumstances
(such as, for example, a security threat or imminent or actual system failure),
Partner will schedule all planned downtime during the weekend hours from 9:00
p.m. Friday, Pacific Time, through 3:00 a.m. Monday, Pacific Time.
ii. Any unavailability caused by SFDC (e.g., by the Platform or Platform API)
iii. Any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Partner’s reasonable
control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire,
earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other
than those involving Partner’s employees).
SALESFORCE PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Salesforce Confidential Page 18 of 19
6. Providing Partner Applications to Users.
If SFDC permits publication of a Partner Application listing, Partner may offer Partner Applications via the
AppExchange at no charge or for a fee, under Partner’s own end user terms or under the default
AppExchange No-charge End User Terms set forth at the end of this AppExchange Addendum as
Section 9. To offer Partner Applications under Partner’s own end user terms, Partner must submit such
end user terms to SFDC through the online process described in the Partner Community. Partner may
update such license terms from time to time using the same process. If Partner does not submit Partner’s
end user terms to SFDC through such online process, SFDC will make Partner Applications available under
the default AppExchange no-charge end user terms. Partner Application end user terms shall not make
any representations about SFDC, the Services or other SFDC products, nor purport to bind SFDC.
7. Risk of Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights
Partner acknowledges the risk that Users who access Partner Applications through the AppExchange,
including through the pre-purchase “Test Drive” (or similarly functional) feature of the AppExchange, may
develop applications that infringe or misappropriate Partner’s intellectual property rights in Partner
Applications. Nothing in this Agreement restricts Partner from pursuing claims against such Users.
However, in that event, Partner agrees that SFDC’s provision of the AppExchange does not constitute
contributory infringement or aiding or abetting of any such infringement or misappropriation.
8. Customer Data and Partner’s Customer Configuration/Usage Data
A. Customer Data.
To the extent a Partner Application transmits Customer Data outside SFDC’s systems, Partner represents
and warrants that Partner has notified all users who have access to Customer Data or who may transmit
such Customer Data outside SFDC’s systems through such Partner Application, or will notify them prior to
their use of such Partner Application, that their Customer Data will be transmitted outside SFDC’s system
and to that extent SFDC is not responsible for the privacy, security or integrity of such data. Partner further
represents and warrants that to the extent a Partner Application stores, processes or transmits Customer
Data, neither Partner nor such Partner Application will, without appropriate prior Customer consent or
except to the extent required by applicable law, (i) modify the content of Customer Data in a manner that
adversely affects the integrity of Customer Data, (ii) disclose Customer Data to any third party, or (iii) use
Customer Data for any purpose other than providing such Partner Application’s functionality to the
applicable Customer’s users of the such Partner Application. Partner shall also maintain and handle all
Customer Data in accordance with privacy and security measures reasonably adequate to preserve its
confidentiality and security and all applicable privacy laws and regulations. A modification or disclosure of
Customer Data does not violate either of the two preceding sentences to the extent (i) it results from an
activity of the applicable Customer using the applicable Partner Application and (ii) a reasonable Customer
would expect that modification or disclosure of its Customer Data to occur as a result of that activity.
B. Partner’s Customer Configuration/Usage Data.
“Partner’s Customer Configuration/Usage Data” means information stored in SFDC’s systems about
Partner’s customers’ configuration and usage of Partner Applications. To the extent Partner receives
access to Partner’s Customer Configuration/Usage Data in or from SFDC’s systems, Partner represents
and warrants that Partner has notified all of Partner’s users who are subjects of Partner’s Customer
Configuration/Usage Data, or will notify them prior to their use of Partner Applications, that Partner may
receive such data from SFDC, and to that extent SFDC is not responsible for the privacy, security or
integrity of Partner’s Customer Configuration/Usage Data. Partner further represents and warrants that to
the extent Partner or Partner Applications store, process, collect or transmit Partner’s Customer
SALESFORCE PARTNER PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Salesforce Confidential Page 19 of 19
Configuration/Usage Data, neither Partner nor Partner Applications will, without appropriate prior user
consent or except to the extent required by applicable law, (i) modify the content of Partner’s Customer
Configuration/Usage Data in a manner that makes it inaccurate or misleading, (ii) disclose Partner’s
Customer Configuration/Usage Data to any third party other than Partner’s applicable customer, or (iii) use
Partner’s Customer Configuration/Usage Data except in connection with Partner’s relationship with
Partner’s applicable customer. Partner shall also maintain and handle all of Partner’s Customer
Configuration/Usage Data in accordance with privacy and security measures reasonably adequate to
preserve its confidentiality and security and all applicable privacy laws and regulations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this paragraph does not restrict Partner’s use or disclosure of aggregated data containing
Partner’s Customer Configuration/Usage Data, provided none of SFDC’s customers is identified or
identifiable through such aggregated data or through Partner’s use of such aggregated data.
9. Default AppExchange No-Charge End User Terms.
