Partner Program Agreement

02Eligibility & enrollment

• You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract, and must accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Notice.
• Enrollment in the Partner Program is at PulsePMO IQ’s discretion. We may accept, decline, or close enrollment at any time.
• Partner pricing and benefits are personal to the enrolled account and may not be resold, sublicensed, or transferred.

03Term & renewal

The initial term is one (1) year from the Effective Date (“Initial Term”). The Agreement renews for additional one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”) only upon PulsePMO IQ’s written approval of renewal. Renewal is not automatic.

• Pricing for each Renewal Term is subject to change and will be communicated before the renewal takes effect.
• If PulsePMO IQ does not approve renewal, or Partner declines to renew, the Partner Program benefits end and the account converts to then-current standard (non-partner) pricing and plan terms, or is deactivated, in each case per the Terms of Service.

04Partner fees & billing

All fees are in U.S. dollars and billed monthly in advance. The Partner fee schedule is:

• Days 1–90 of the Initial Term: $0 per month (no cost).
• After the initial 90-day no-cost period: $559.30 per month while the account has no more than ten portfolios.
• When the account reaches ten portfolios: partner pricing and the partner allowance are full. Before another portfolio is enabled, the Partner must select an expansion plan or contact PulsePMO IQ for custom terms; the applicable price and capacity are shown before checkout.

• By enrolling, you authorize us and our payment processor (Stripe) to store your payment method and automatically charge the applicable fee, beginning when the no-cost period ends.
• Fees are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for any sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes, other than taxes on our net income.
• Fees are non-refundable, including for partial months. Failed payments may result in a short grace period followed by suspension per the Terms of Service.
• Partner pricing is conditioned on Partner remaining in good standing, including meeting the Partner obligations. If Partner does not, we may convert the account to then-current standard pricing on notice.

05Partner obligations

In exchange for Partner pricing, Partner agrees to actively help improve the Service. Specifically, Partner will:

• Engage in quarterly feedback — participate in a feedback session or written review at least once per calendar quarter, and respond to reasonable outreach from PulsePMO IQ within a reasonable time.
• Identify and report bugs, defects, and usability issues discovered during normal use.
• Suggest features and improvements, and share context on how the Service performs against real workflows.

Partner participation is provided voluntarily and without any expectation of compensation. Failure to meet these obligations may result in conversion to standard pricing or non-renewal, at PulsePMO IQ’s discretion.

06Feedback & intellectual property

PulsePMO IQ owns all right, title, and interest in and to all intellectual property related to any changes, features, ideas, suggestions, bug reports, or other feedback that Partner submits in connection with the Program. Partner hereby irrevocably assigns to PulsePMO IQ all such intellectual property rights, and will take reasonable steps to perfect that assignment on request.

• PulsePMO IQ may use, implement, modify, commercialize, or discard any feedback freely, without restriction, attribution, or obligation (including compensation) to Partner.
• Nothing in this Agreement transfers to Partner any ownership of the Service, and no feature built from Partner feedback grants Partner any ownership, license beyond normal use of the Service, or exclusivity.
• Partner retains ownership of its own pre-existing intellectual property and of Customer Data it submits, as described in the Terms of Service.

07Confidentiality

Through the Program, Partner may access pre-release features, product roadmap, non-public pricing, and the terms of this Agreement (“Confidential Information”). Partner will keep Confidential Information confidential, use it only to participate in the Program, and not disclose it to third parties without our prior written consent. This does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of Partner, or that Partner is required to disclose by law (with prompt notice where permitted). These obligations survive termination for three (3) years.

08Independent parties

The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship, and neither party may bind the other or represent that it has authority to do so. Each party bears its own costs and taxes arising from this Agreement.

09Publicity & references

Neither party will use the other’s name, logo, or trademarks in marketing without prior written consent (which may be by email). If Partner consents, PulsePMO IQ may identify Partner as a program participant and reference Partner in case studies or promotional materials; consent may be withdrawn on reasonable notice for future use.

10Pre-release, warranties & disclaimers

The Program provides early access to a product under active development. Features may be incomplete, may change, and may contain defects. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, and no uptime, service-level, or availability commitment applies to the Program unless separately agreed in writing. Pulse AI output is decision support, not professional advice; Partner remains responsible for its decisions. Partner should maintain its own records of critical data.

11Data & privacy

Handling of personal data and Customer Data is governed by the Privacy Notice and the Terms of Service. Partner remains the owner of Customer Data it submits. On termination, Partner may export its data during the window described in the Terms of Service, after which we may delete it in the ordinary course. PulsePMO IQ stores document URLs and metadata only and does not host uploaded file contents.

12Liability & indemnification

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Terms of Service apply to this Agreement. Given the reduced and no-cost nature of Program pricing, each party’s aggregate liability arising out of the Program is limited to the greater of the fees Partner paid to PulsePMO IQ in the twelve (12) months before the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.

13Suspension & termination

• Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience on thirty (30) days’ written notice, and either party may terminate immediately for material breach not cured within fifteen (15) days of notice.
• We may suspend or terminate Program benefits immediately for non-payment, violation of the Terms of Service, or misuse of Confidential Information.
• On termination or non-renewal, Partner pricing ends and the account converts to then-current standard pricing or is deactivated per the Terms of Service. Prepaid fees are non-refundable.
• Sections addressing feedback & intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability, and general terms survive termination.

14Relationship to the Terms of Service

This Agreement supplements the Terms of Service. If there is a conflict, this Agreement controls with respect to Partner pricing, term, renewal, feedback obligations, and feedback ownership; the Terms of Service control for all other matters. If a separate signed order form or master subscription agreement exists between the parties, that agreement controls to the extent it conflicts with this Agreement.

15General

• Governing law & disputes. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Georgia.
• Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Notice, is the entire agreement on the Partner Program and supersedes prior discussions on that subject.
• Amendment. We may update this Agreement; material changes will be communicated to active Partners, and continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
• Assignment. Partner may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent; we may assign it to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale.
• Severability & waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect; a failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Notices. Legal notices to PulsePMO IQ may be sent to [email protected]; notices to Partner may be sent to the email on the account.

16Contact & acceptance

By enrolling in the Partner Program or clicking to accept, you agree to this Agreement on behalf of yourself and, if applicable, the organization you represent. Questions about the Program or this Agreement can be sent to [email protected] or [email protected].
