Coachbar SaaS Agreement

Last updated: 13 September 2024

 

The Coachbar SaaS Agreement contains the terms by which we provide services to our various clients on https://www.appventory.com, https://www.coachbar.io, and https://stackplan.com/. The Coachbar Saas Agreement is applicable for each Order Form from where you are a client, advertiser or vendor if you are a software brand, own a partner program or have saas products created, marketed or sold on these websites.

 

This Coachbar Client SaaS Agreement (“Agreement”) forms a contract between the entity named in an Order Form (“Client”, “you” or “your”) and Coachbar Inc. (“Coachbar”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). 

The Agreement consists of the following:
·      The Agreement terms below, and
·      Your Order Form, which is any Coachbar issued form from our websites referencing these terms and describing your subscription package. 

In the event of a conflict, an exhibit, attachment, Order Form, or addendum prevails over these Agreement Terms to the extent of such conflict.

We may revise the Agreement terms or any additional terms and conditions that are relevant to the Coachbar Platform from time to time. We will post the revised Agreement with a “last updated” date on the Coachbar website. All such revisions to this Agreement will take effect at the start of a Renewal Term (as defined below), unless either party chooses not to renew this Agreement. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification of this Agreement.


Section 1. The Coachbar Services

1.1 Description of the Services

The “Coachbar Platform” or “Platform” refers to the proprietary Software-as-a-Service Platform offered by Coachbar that allows Coachbar Clients:

  •       to identify, optimise, and diagnose where to offer tech advisory services to their clients and themselves via the AppVentory product,
  •     to be promoted on a universal directory via the StackPlan website, where the Coachbar Client can purchase marketing services, and
  •     to build, manage, market and grow various partner programs (“Partner Programs”) via the ChannelBoost product.

The Coachbar Platform also allows third party partners, resellers, influencers, community members or affiliates (“Partners”) to identify and participate in such Partner Programs offered by Clients. Through these Partner Programs, Partners may earn commissions (“Commissions”) from Clients.

As a Client, you may use the Coachbar Platform to build, manage, market and grow your Partner Programs, including by communicating with and paying Partners in relation to their participation in such programs. You agree to provide only true, complete, and accurate information to and through the Platform and to only use the Platform to communicate in a manner consistent with this Agreement. Any uses that are inconsistent with the Agreement are prohibited and may lead to the suspension of your access to and use of the Platform.

As long as you follow the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Coachbar will grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Services and the Coachbar Platform during the Term. To use the Platform, you’ll need to integrate it with your own technical systems according to the instructions on the Coachbar website. You’re fully responsible for this integration, which is a requirement to access the Coachbar Platform. We may update and modify the Coachbar Platform, as long as these changes don’t significantly impact its functionality for you.


1.2 Relationship with Partners

The Coachbar Platform will allow you to provide information about Partner Programs that you offer, this can include details like what the program involves, how payments work, commission schedules, and other terms. All Partners must create user accounts on www.stackplan.com to access the Coachbar Platform. Partners who want to join your Partner Program will be able to contact you through the Coachbar Platform. You can then enter into a separate agreement with acceptable Partners (the “Channel Program Agreement”) that applies to your relationship with those Partners and their participation in your programs. Coachbar isn’t involved in these agreements and isn’t responsible for them. Partners may participate in partner programs on the Coachbar Platform other than those offered by you.

You can end your relationship with a Partner by sending a written notice (email is okay) according to the Channel Program Agreement. Coachbar isn’t responsible for confirming or acknowledging the termination, and we will not be liable for any of your unpaid payments or obligations.


1.3 Account Registration

(a) Client User Accounts. Upon Client’s request, Coachbar will: (a) issue one or more accounts (each, a “Client User Account”) to Client for use by Client and its personnel who are authorised by Client to access and use the Coachbar Platform (“Permitted Users”); and (b) designate one or more Client User Accounts as administrator accounts that provides Client with the capability to administer, maintain, and manage certain features of the Coachbar Platform. Client will ensure that Permitted Users only use the Coachbar Platform through the Client User Account. Client will not allow any Permitted User to share the Client User Account with any other person. Client will promptly notify Coachbar of any actual or suspected unauthorised use of the Coachbar Platform. Coachbar reserves the right to suspend, deactivate, or replace the Client User Account if it determines that the Client User Account may have been used for an unauthorised purpose.

(b) Usage Limits. An Order Form may provide Permitted User limits, and/or other usage limitations. Use of the Coachbar Platform by Client is restricted to such limitations as set forth in the Order Form.

1.5 Restrictions on Use

Your failure to pay the Fees on time will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. This could lead to the termination of the Agreement or a suspension of access to the Coachbar Platform. Unless stated otherwise in the Order Form, all Fees must be paid in advance in U.S. Dollars and cannot be cancelled or refunded except expressly provided for. 


3.3 Billing and Invoices

(a) Subscription Fee: We will invoice you for Subscription Fees on an annual basis as agreed in an Order Form.

You agree to provide further information in relation to any inquiries that we (or our affiliates) may consider necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment. You also agree to provide upon request updated payment details from your credit card company or banking account (for example updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company).


3.4 Payment Processing

Payment processing services for the Coachbar Platform are handled by third-party payment processors like Maxio LLC, and Stripe, Inc. (together, the “Payment Providers”).

All payments to Partners regarding Client Partner Programs must be processed through Coachbar. You agree not to cut out Coachbar by making payments outside of the Coachbar Platform with Referred Partners. You also agree to pay all monthly fees for Commissions earned by those Referred Partners while you’re using the Coachbar Platform.
