Introduction
1.1
The Marketplace is a publicly available site on which
Developers can distribute Products for GeneXus. In order to distribute Products
on the Marketplace, you must acquire and maintain a valid Developer Account.
1.2
If you want to charge a fee for your Products, you must
also acquire and maintain a valid Payment Account from an authorized Payment
Processor.
2
Accepting this Agreement
2.1
Your use of the Marketplace to distribute Products is
governed by a legal agreement between you and GeneXus consisting of the GeneXus
Marketplace Developer Program Policies (found at http://marketplace.genexus.com/programpolicies.aspx)
and this GeneXus Marketplace Developer Registration and Distribution Agreement
(found at http://marketplace.genexus.com/developeragreement.aspx)
(together, the "Agreement"). In order to use the Marketplace to
distribute Products, you must first agree to this Agreement by clicking to
accept where this option is made available to you. You may not publish Products
on the Marketplace if you do not accept this Agreement.
2.2
You may not use the Marketplace and may not enter into
this Agreement if you are (a) not of legal age to form a binding contract with
GeneXus, or (b) a person or entity barred from using GeneXus software under the
laws of Uruguay or other countries including the country in which you are
resident or from which you use the GeneXus software.
2.3
You represent and warrant that you have full power,
capacity, and authority to accept this Agreement. If you are agreeing to be
bound by this Agreement on behalf of your employer or other entity, you
represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer
or such entity to this Agreement. If you do not have the requisite authority,
you may not accept the Agreement or use the Marketplace on behalf of your
employer or other entity.
3
Pricing and Payments
3.1
This Agreement covers both Products you choose to
distribute for free and Products for which you charge a fee (once payment
processing is enabled on the Marketplace). In order to charge a fee for your
Products, you must have a valid Payment Account under a separate agreement with
a Payment Processor. If you already have a Payment Account with a Payment
Processor before signing up for the Marketplace, then the terms of this
Agreement shall supersede your Payment Account terms and condition for Products
sold via the Marketplace.
3.2
You may set the price for your Products in the
currencies permitted by the Payment Processor. The Marketplace may display to
users the price of Products in their native currency, but it is not responsible
for the accuracy of currency rates or conversion.
3.3 The price you
set for Products will determine the amount of payment you will receive. A
Transaction Fee, as defined below, will be charged on the sales price and
apportioned to the Payment Processor. The remainder (sales price less
Transaction Fee) will be remitted to your Payment Account. The "Transaction
Fee" is set forth at http://marketplace.genexus.com/fees.aspx
and may be revised by GeneXus from time to time.
3.4 For any
transaction in which both the Developer and the Buyer operate from Uruguay, the
Uruguay Value Added Tax will be added to the sales price to be paid by the
Buyer. You are still responsible for issuing an appropriate invoice to the
Buyer and remitting taxes to the taxing authority, in accordance to local laws
and regulations.
3.5
You may also choose to distribute Products for free. If
the Product is free, you will not be charged a Transaction Fee. You may not
collect future charges from users for copies of the Products that those users
were initially allowed to download for free. This is not intended to prevent
distribution of free trial versions of the Product with an "upsell"
option to obtain the full version of the Product: Such free trials for Products
are encouraged, provided the full version is also sold via the Marketplace. If
you want to collect fees after the free trial expires, you must collect all
fees for the full version of the Product through the Payment Processor on the
Marketplace. In this Agreement, "free" means there are no charges or
fees of any kind for use of the Product. All fees received by Developers for
Products distributed via the Marketplace must be processed by the Marketplace's
Payment Processor.
4
Refunds
4.1
The Payment Processor's standard terms and conditions
regarding refunds will apply.
5
Taxes
5.1
You are responsible for determining if a Product is
taxable and the applicable tax rate, if any, for each taxing jurisdiction where
Products are sold, as well as remitting taxes to the appropriate taxing
authority. Any VAT, sales tax, service tax, business tax, turnover tax, IVA,
ISS or any similar tax levied on you in the country where you are registered
for tax purposes, or the country of the Buyer, is solely your responsibility.
You agree that GeneXus is not liable to you or anyone else to pay any of the aforementioned
taxes in addition to the revenue share GeneXus remits to your Payment Account in
accordance with Sections 3.3
and 3.4. You are solely liable
for issuing any VAT, tax or similar invoice as may be required by applicable laws.
5.2
You are responsible for all taxes (including, but not
limited to, taxes based upon your income) or levies imposed on you under
applicable laws, regulations and tax treaties as a result of any contract and
any payments hereunder.
5.3
In the event that a withholding tax or similar tax,
including any advance tax, is payable, GeneXus or any operator, billing
aggregator or any other party involved with the billing arrangements for the
sale of your Product in the Marketplace shall be entitled to deduct the
withholding tax or similar tax from the payment relating to your Product as
required under applicable laws, regulations and tax treaties. Upon formal
written request from you, furnished to GeneXus’s mailing address provided herein
in Section 23.9, GeneXus will
furnish evidence of taxes withheld by GeneXus, or GeneXus shall take reasonable
actions as determined by GeneXus to obtain and furnish evidence of taxes
withheld by other parties involved with the billing arrangements in order to
enable you to obtain any credits available to you.
5.4
You indemnify and hold GeneXus, and any operator,
billing aggregator or any other party involved with the billing arrangements
for your Product harmless against all claims by any tax authority for any
underpayment of withholding tax or similar tax including advance tax, penalties
and interest.
6
Product Support
6.1
You will be solely responsible for support and
maintenance of your Products and any complaints about your Products. The
Marketplace will provide a way for users to contact you for customer support
purposes.
6.2
Failure to provide adequate support for your Products
may result in low Product ratings, less prominent product exposure, low sales
and billing disputes. Except in cases when multiple disputes are initiated by a
user with abnormal dispute history, billing disputes received by Payment
Processor for Products sold for less than $20 (twenty united states dollars) may
be automatically charged back to the Developer, in addition to any handling
fees charged by the Payment Processor. Chargeback requests for Products $20 or
more will be handled in accordance with the Payment Processor's standard
policy.
7
Reinstalls
7.1 Users are
allowed unlimited reinstalls of each Product distributed via the Marketplace,
provided however that if you remove a Product(s) from the Marketplace pursuant
to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section
15.1, such Product(s) shall be removed from
all portions of the Marketplace and users shall no longer have a right or
ability to reinstall the affected Products.
8
Use of the Marketplace by You
8.1
Except for the license rights granted by you in Section
9 below, GeneXus agrees that it
obtains no right, title or interest from you (or your licensors) under this
Agreement in or to any of Products, including any intellectual property rights
which subsist in those products.
8.2
You agree to use the Marketplace only for purposes that
are permitted by (a) this Agreement and (b) any applicable law, regulation or
generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions
(including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from
relevant countries).
8.3
You agree that if you use the Marketplace to distribute
Products, you will protect the privacy and legal rights of users. If the users
provide you with, or your Product accesses or uses, user names, passwords, or
other login information or personal information, you must make the users aware
that the information will be available to your Product, and you must provide
legally adequate privacy notice and protection for those users. Further, your
Product may only use that information for the limited purposes for which the
user has given you permission to do so. If your Product stores personal or
sensitive information provided by users, it must do so securely and only for as
long as it is needed. But if the user has opted into a separate agreement with
you that allows you or your Product to store or use personal or sensitive
information directly related to your Product (not including other products or
applications) then the terms of that separate agreement will govern your use of
such information.
8.4
Prohibited Actions.
8.4.1
You agree that you will not engage in any activity with the Marketplace,
including the development or publication of Products or other materials, that
violates the GeneXus Marketplace Developer Program Policies, or that:
A.
knowingly violates a third party's terms of
service, or
B.
violates any applicable laws or regulations, or
C.

creates a spammy user experience, whether by
posting repetitive content or misleading information about a Product's purpose,
or
E.

others, or
F.

content or media, or
G.

any means other than through the interface that is provided by GeneXus, unless
you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with
GeneXus.
8.4.3
You may not divert users or provide links to any other site that
mimics the Marketplace or passes itself off as the Marketplace.
8.4.4
You may not use customer information obtained from your use of the Marketplace
to sell or distribute Products outside the Marketplace.
8.4.5
Non-Compete. You may not use the
Marketplace to distribute or make available any Product whose primary purpose
is to facilitate the distribution of Products outside of the Marketplace.
8.5
You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that
GeneXus has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any Products you
distribute through the Marketplace and for the consequences of your actions
(including any loss or damage which GeneXus may suffer) by doing so.
8.6
You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that
GeneXus has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of
your obligations under this Agreement, any applicable third party contract or
terms of service, or any applicable law or regulation, and for the consequences
(including any loss or damage which GeneXus or any third party may suffer) of
any such breach.
8.7
Product Ratings. The
Marketplace will allow users to rate Products. Only users who download the
applicable Product will be able to rate it. Product ratings will be used to
determine the placement of Products on the Marketplace with higher rated
Products generally given better placement, subject to GeneXus's ability to
change placement at GeneXus's sole discretion. The Marketplace may also assign
you a composite score for any Product that has not received user ratings. A
Developer Composite Score will be a representation of the quality of your
Product based on your history and will be determined at GeneXus's sole discretion.
For new Developers without Product history, GeneXus may use or publish
performance measurements such as uninstall and/or refund rates to identify or
remove Products that are not meeting acceptable standards, as determined by GeneXus.
GeneXus reserves the right to display Products to users in a manner that will be
determined at GeneXus's sole discretion.
8.8
Marketing Your Product. You
will be responsible for uploading your Products to the Marketplace, providing
required Product information to users, and accurately disclosing the security
permissions necessary for the Product to function on user computers. Products
that are not properly uploaded will not be published in the Marketplace.
8.9
Restricted Content. Any
Product you distribute on the Marketplace must adhere to the GeneXus
Marketplace Developer Program Policies located at http://marketplace.genexus.com/programpolicies.aspx
.
8.10

may send communications to you from time to time. Such communications may be in
the form of phone calls, emails, text messages or other forms of commercially
available communication tools. The subject matter of these communications may
include, but not be limited to, marketing materials, technical information,
device support, and updates and/or changes regarding your participation in the
Marketplace. By agreeing to this Agreement, you consent that GeneXus may provide
you with such communications.
9
License Grants
9.1
You grant to GeneXus and its affiliates a worldwide,
nonexclusive, and royalty-free license to: (a) host, link to, copy, translate,
publicly perform, publicly display, test, distribute and otherwise use the
Products and any content contained in, accessed by, or transmitted through the
Products according to the publishing options selected by you on the Product
upload page of the Marketplace and (b) copy, perform, display, and use the
Product for administrative and demonstration purposes in connection with the
operation and marketing of the Marketplace.
9.2
GeneXus may use consultants and other contractors in
connection with the performance of obligations and exercise of rights under
this agreement, provided that such consultants and contractors will be subject
to the same obligations as GeneXus. After termination of this Agreement, GeneXus
will not distribute your Product, but may retain and use copies of the Product
for support of the Marketplace and the GeneXus platform.
9.3
You grant to the user a non-exclusive, worldwide, and
perpetual license to perform, display, and use the Product on the computer, and
any content contained in, accessed by, or transmitted through the Product. If
you choose, you may include a separate end user license agreement (EULA) in your
Product that will govern the user's rights to the Product in lieu of the
previous sentence. GeneXus is not responsible for any violation of any terms
between you and end users of Marketplace or your Product.
9.4
You represent and warrant that you have all intellectual
property rights, including all necessary patent, trademark, trade secret,
copyright or other proprietary rights, in and to the Product and any content
contained in, accessed by, or transmitted through the Product. If you use
third-party materials, you represent and warrant that you have the right to
distribute the third-party material in the Product. You agree that you will not
submit material to Marketplace that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret
or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including patent,
privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have
permission from their rightful owner to submit the material.
9.5
Except for the license rights granted in this
Agreement, (a) you retain all rights in the Products; and (b) each party
retains all rights it would have independent of this Agreement, including
rights under the U.S. Copyright Act or analogous laws in other jurisdictions.
GeneXus acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from
you (or your licensors) under this Agreement in or to any content that you
submit, post, transmit or display on, or through, the Products, including any
intellectual property rights which subsist in that content (whether those
rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights
may exist). Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with GeneXus, you agree
that you are responsible for protecting and enforcing those rights and that
GeneXus has no obligation to do so on your behalf.
10
Brand Features and Publicity
10.1
"Brand Features" means 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.
10.2 Each party
shall own all right, title and interest, including without limitation all
intellectual property rights, relating to its Brand Features. Except to the
limited extent expressly provided in this Agreement, neither party grants, nor
shall the other party acquire, any right, title or interest (including, without
limitation, any implied license) in or to any Brand Features of the other
party. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer grants
to GeneXus and its affiliates a limited, non-exclusive license during the term
of this Agreement to display Developer Brand Features, submitted by Developer
to GeneXus, for use solely online or, within GeneXus, or on mobile devices and
in either case solely in connection with the distribution and sale of
Developer's Product through the Marketplace, or to otherwise fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. If Developer discontinues the distribution of
specific Products on the Marketplace, GeneXus will cease use of the discontinued
Products' Brand Features pursuant to this Section
10.2, except as necessary to allow GeneXus to
effectuate Section 7.1. Nothing
in this Agreement gives Developer a right to use any of GeneXus's trade names,
trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, or other distinctive brand
features.
10.3
Publicity. In
addition to the license granted in
10.2 above, for purposes of marketing the
presence, distribution and sale of the Developer's Product in the Marketplace,
the Marketplace, and GeneXus products and services, GeneXus and its affiliates
may include Developer Brand Features, screenshots, videos, and demonstrations
of your Products and any content contained in, accessed by, or transmitted
through the Products: (i) within the Marketplace, GeneXus, and in any
GeneXus-owned online or mobile properties; (ii) in online or mobile
communications outside the Marketplace when mentioned along with other Marketplace
Products; (iii) when making announcements of the availability of the Product
online or on mobile devices; (iv) in presentations, marketing materials,
marketing events, developer events, financial reports, website listings
(including links to your website), press releases; and (v) in customer lists
which appear either online or on mobile devices (which includes, without
limitation, customer lists posted on GeneXus websites). If Developer
discontinues the distribution of specific Products on the Marketplace, GeneXus
will cease use of the discontinued Products' Brand Features for such marketing
purposes.
11
Selection for Availability
11.1
You understand and agree that GeneXus may determine in
its sole discretion that your Product does not comply with the submission
documentation and Product requirements then in effect, or reject your Product
for distribution for any reason even if it meets the submission documentation
and Productrequirements. You further understand and agree that if your Product
is selected for distribution via the Marketplace, GeneXus may, in its sole
discretion, remove your Product at any time and for any reason.
11.2
GeneXus, the Payment Processor and any network operators
enabling or featuring the Marketplace shall not be responsible for any costs,
expenses, damages, losses (including without limitation lost business
opportunities or lost profits) or other liabilities you may incur as a result
of developing your Product or use of the Marketplace, including without
limitation the fact that your Product may not be selected for distribution via
the Marketplace, is removed from distribution via the Marketplace, or if GeneXus
discontinues the Marketplace. You will be solely responsible for developing
Products that are safe, free of defects in design and operation, and comply
with applicable laws and regulations. You will be solely responsible for any
documentation, customer support and warranty obligations for Marketplace end
users. The fact that GeneXus may have reviewed, tested, approved or selected
your Product will not relieve you of these obligations and will not subject
GeneXus to responsibility or liability for your Product.
12
Marketplace Availability
12.1
GeneXus reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
change, improve and correct the Marketplace. The Marketplace may not be
available during maintenance breaks and other times.
12.2
GeneXus may also decide to discontinue the Marketplace
or any part thereof in its sole discretion. In such case you will be provided a
prior notification.
13
Confidentiality
13.1
You may, in your sole discretion, provide GeneXus with
comments, information or other feedback regarding GeneXus products, internet
services or this Marketplace, which GeneXus may freely use to improve or enhance
its products, services or this Marketplace without obligation of confidentiality
or compensation to you.
13.2 You agree that all information
disclosed by GeneXus to you that relates to the Marketplace or GeneXus’s
products, designs, business plans, business opportunities, finances, research,
development, know-how, personnel, or third-party confidential information, will
be considered and referred to collectively as “Confidential Information.”
Confidential Information, however, does not include: (i) information that
GeneXus makes generally available to the public; (ii) information that you can
demonstrate to have had rightfully in your possession prior to disclosure to
you by GeneXus; (iii) information that is independently developed by you without
the use of any Confidential Information; or (iv) information that you
rightfully obtain from a third party who has been given the right to transfer
or disclose it by GeneXus. You agree not to disclose, publish, or disseminate
Confidential Information to anyone other than those individuals who have an
existing Developer Account. You further agree to take reasonable precautions to
prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of
Confidential Information. You agree not to use Confidential Information
otherwise for your own or any third party’s benefit without the prior written
approval of an authorized representative of GeneXus in each instance. You
further agree that despite any other confidentiality agreements you may have
between you and GeneXus, GeneXus will not be responsible for keeping confidential
any information you submit to GeneXus for consideration through the use of the
Marketplace.
13.3 You acknowledge that GeneXus develops
its own Products and services and works with many developers and publishers who
develop their own Products. Some of GeneXus’s or its publisher partners’ Products
may be similar to or compete with your Products, either now or sometime in the
future. GeneXus cannot agree, and expressly disclaims, any confidentiality
obligations or use restrictions, express or implied, with respect to any
information that you may provide in connection with this Agreement or the Marketplace,
including information included in or with your Product.
14
Privacy and Information
14.1
In order to continually improve the Marketplace, GeneXus
may collect certain usage statistics from the Marketplace, including but not
limited to, information about how Product, GeneXus and the overall Marketplace
are being used. Data collected, including your personal data obtained through
use of the Marketplace, is maintained in accordance with the Marketplace
Privacy Policy (found at http://marketplace.genexus.com/privacypolicy.aspx
).
15
Product Takedowns
15.1 Your
Takedowns. You may remove your Products from future
distribution via the Marketplace at any time, but you must comply with this
Agreement and the Payment Processor's Payment Account terms of service for any
Products distributed through the Marketplace, including but not limited to
refund requirements. Removing your Products from future distribution via the
Marketplace does not (a) affect the license rights of users who have previously
purchased or downloaded your Products, (b) remove your Products from computers,
hardware or other devices, or from any part of the Marketplace where previously
purchased or downloaded applications are stored on behalf of users, or (c)
change your obligation to deliver or support Products or services that have
been previously purchased or downloaded by users. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event will GeneXus maintain on any portion of the Marketplace
(including, without limitation, the part of the Marketplace where previously
purchased or downloaded applications are stored on behalf of users) any Product
that you have removed from the Marketplace and provided written notice to
GeneXus that such removal was due to (i) an allegation of infringement, or
actual infringement, of any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress,
patent or other intellectual property right of any person, (ii) an allegation
of defamation or actual defamation, (iii) an allegation of violation, or actual
violation, of any third party's right of publicity or privacy, or (iv) an
allegation or determination that such Product does not comply with applicable
law. If you remove a Product from the Marketplace
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 15.1, and an end user purchased such Product
within a year before the date of takedown, at GeneXus's request, you must refund
to the affected end user all amounts paid by such end user for such affected
Product, less the portion of the Transaction Fee specifically allocated to the
credit card/payment processing for the associated transaction.
15.2 GeneXus
Review and Takedowns. While GeneXus is not obligated
to monitor the Products or their content, GeneXus may at any time review or test
your Products and their source code for compliance with this Agreement, the
GeneXus Marketplace Developer Program Policies, and any other applicable terms,
obligations, laws, or regulations, and may use automated means to conduct such
review. GeneXus retains the right to refuse to include a Product on the
Marketplace in its sole discretion. You may be required to provide information
about yourself (such as identification or contact details) as part of the
registration process for the Marketplace, or as part of your continued use of
the services. You agree that any information you give to GeneXus will always be
accurate, correct and up to date. As part of the specification for your Product,
GeneXus may ask that you include in the file for your Product information such
as your name and email address. GeneXus may use this information when featuring
the Product in our directory or for other uses. If GeneXus is notified by you or
otherwise becomes aware and determines in its sole discretion that a Product or
any portion thereof or your Brand Features; (a) violates the intellectual
property rights or any other rights of any third party; (b) violates any
applicable law or is subject to an injunction; (c) is pornographic, obscene or
otherwise violates GeneXus's hosting policies or other terms of service as may
be updated by GeneXus from time to time in its sole discretion; (d) is being
published or distributed by you improperly; (e) may create liability for GeneXus
or any third party; (f) is deemed by GeneXus to have a virus or is deemed to be
malware, spyware or have an adverse impact on GeneXus's or a third party's
network; (g) violates the terms of this Agreement or the GeneXus Marketplace
Developer Program Policies; or (h) the display of the Product is impacting the
integrity of GeneXus servers (i.e., users are unable to access such content or
otherwise experience difficulty), GeneXus may prevent the Product from being
made available in the Marketplace, remove the Product from the Marketplace,
remotely disable or remove the Product from user systems or devices, or flag,
filter, modify related materials (including but not limited to descriptions,
screenshots, or metadata), or reclassify the Product at its sole discretion. GeneXus
reserves the right to suspend or bar any Product from the Marketplace at its
sole discretion.
15.3
In the event that your Product is involuntarily removed
because it is defective, malicious, infringes intellectual property rights of
another person, defames, violates a third party's right of publicity or
privacy, or does not comply with applicable law, and an end user purchased such
Product within a year before the date of takedown,: (i) you must refund to
GeneXus, all amounts received, plus any associated fees (i.e. chargebacks and
payment transaction fees), and (ii) GeneXus may, at its sole discretion,
withhold from your future sales the amount in subsection (i) above.
15.4
From time to time, GeneXus may check for available
updates to Products, including but not limited to bug fixes or enhanced
functionality. If you upload an update for your Product to the Marketplace, you
agree that such update will be automatically requested, downloaded, and
installed without further notice to you. GeneXus makes no guarantees regarding
the timing of such updates. For the avoidance of doubt, updates to Products are
subject to the same terms and conditions as the Products, including without
limitation Section 15.2 of this
Agreement (GeneXus Review and Takedowns).
16
Your Developer Credentials
16.1
You agree that you are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of any developer credentials that may be issued to you by
GeneXus or which you may choose yourself and that you will be solely responsible
for all products that are developed or published under your developer
credentials.
16.2
GeneXus may limit the number of Developer Accounts
issued to you or to the company or organization you work for.
16.3 GeneXus
may limit the number of Products that you or the company or organization you
work for may publish to the Marketplace.
16.4
GeneXus, at its sole discretion, may suspend or
terminate your right to publish Products on the Marketplace for any reason, including
but not limited to: (a) violation of the Agreement or the GeneXus Marketplace
Developer Program Policies, or (b) infringement upon any intellectual property
rights, including copyright.
17
Terminating this Agreement
17.1
This Agreement will continue to apply until terminated
by either you or GeneXus as set out below.
17.2
If you want to terminate this Agreement, you must
provide GeneXus with thirty (30) days prior written notice (unless this
Agreement terminates under Section
21.1) and cease your use of any relevant
developer credentials.
17.3
GeneXus may at any time, terminate this Agreement with
you if:
A.
you have breached any provision of this
Agreement; or
B.
GeneXus is required to do so by law; or
C.
you cease being an authorized Developer; or
D.
GeneXus decides to no longer provide the Marketplace.
18

You agree that if GeneXus does not exercise or enforce
any legal right or remedy which is contained in this Agreement (or which GeneXus

be available to GeneXus.

If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to
decide on this matter, rules that any provision of this Agreement is invalid,

rest of this Agreement. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will
continue to be valid and enforceable.

this Agreement, shall be governed by the laws of Uruguay without regard to its
conflict of laws provisions. You and GeneXus agree to submit to the exclusive
