Hello Talent Optimizer!

Please take the time to read these Partner Program Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully. By signing the Addendum(s) and participating in our Partner Program (“Program”), you agree to these Terms, which will result in a legal agreement between you and The Predictive Index (“Agreement”). By agreeing to the Terms, you are also agreeing to any document incorporated by reference, including our Privacy Policy.

The Predictive Index (“Predictive Index,” “PI,” “we,” or “us”) is a cloud-based Talent Optimization platform that allows Partners and Clients to align people with business strategies. The platform consists of products that contain our Software, Content and/or Other Products that we may develop from time to time (“Products”).

PI is a Delaware limited liability company whose legal name is Predictive Index, LLC. We have employees, independent contractors, and representatives. As a reseller of the Products or as a representative of an entity that’s a reseller of the Products, you’re a “Partner” according to the Agreement (or “you”).

Looking for a capitalized/defined term? We’ve included a glossary of definitions that should help you understand these Terms located in Appendix A. We tried to make this Agreement easy for everyone to read (including non-lawyers), but at the end of the day, there’s only so much we can do! Let’s begin with the basics.

The Agreement defines the terms and conditions for reselling the Products, so if the Agreement doesn’t work for you, you won’t be able to resell our Products. If it does, we are excited to have you as a Partner. If you have any questions about our Terms, feel free to contact us.

  6. Our Products and Your Clients
    Every Client who purchases Products enters into a valid and binding legal agreement (“Client Software Agreement”) between PI and the Client, which includes our Product(s) terms and conditions. As a reminder, (i) we will bill the Clients for any Software; (ii) you will bill the Client for any consulting services you provide them; and (iii) if your consulting services contain any Content, we will bill you for Content Licensing Fees.If a third party does not have a Client Software Agreement with us (i.e. not a Client), then you cannot, without the express written permission from PI: (i) allow any third party to use the Products or Trademarks; or (ii) administer the Products, or provide reports, recruiting or recommendations in connection with the Products to any third party (other than incidental no-charge sales demonstrations).Additionally, you are not allowed to sell, teach, train, or in any way provide the Products to any employment agency, company, individual, or consulting firm that will (i) use the Products for their clients in providing search, recruiting or placement services; or (ii) provide or offer services in personnel appraisal or assessment, or psychological testing or measurement of any kind, or organization analysis, or morale or attitude surveys, or personal or vocational counseling, nor shall any use of the Products by any such company, agency or individual be permitted by Partner.PI reserves the right to take whatever steps may be necessary to ensure that the teaching and servicing of the Products to Clients meets our reasonable quality standards, including but not limited to contacting Clients to address outstanding issues or assess their needs.

PI will not itself solicit or encourage Clients to choose a specific Partner nor will we direct others to proactively solicit or encourage partners to solicit a Client’s preference for a specific Partner.
  7. Certain Client Relationships
    We understand that before you make a sale to a Client, you may wish to demonstrate our Products by administering our Products to individuals in their own capacity and not in their capacity on behalf of his or her company. In that case, you understand you are acting as a controller and we are acting as a processor, and we will only allow you to do so by signing our Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”). If you have not signed the DPA, then you are in breach of this agreement.
  8. Training
    PI may require trainings for Partners or on new Products from time to time, and you agree that you will successfully complete these trainings.
  9. Client Service Obligations
    You will be responsible for all Client questions and requests for additional support or training for Products.

These may take the form of webinars or other resources at our sole discretion.
  10. Term
    The term of the Agreement (the “Term”) begins on the date specified in the Addendum you sign. The Term will continue until you or we terminate the Agreement in accordance with these Terms, whichever happens first.
  11. Termination for Convenience
    Each of us can terminate the Agreement at any time and for any reason by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party (“Termination for Convenience”). We may suspend services at any time, with or without cause (e.g. technical upgrades/fixes, the reasons stated in Section 6, etc.). If PI elects a Termination for Convenience, PI will pay you an amount equal to two times (2x) Commissions you received during the twelve (12) month period prior to termination.Upon notice of any Termination for Convenience, you agree to transition to PI or its designee, all of your Clients in a prompt and orderly manner. The 2x Commission for PI’s Termination for Convenience, shall be paid by PI in two equal installments. The first installment shall be paid sixty (60) days after the effective date of termination, and the second and final installment shall be paid one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of termination. You will not be entitled to any additional commission, fees, or compensation of any kind after termination of the Agreement, except as specifically set forth here.
  12. Termination for Cause
    We may terminate the Agreement if you (i) breach any of your representations, warranties or covenants, (ii) fail to fulfill any of your obligations under the Agreement, (iii) become insolvent, file for bankruptcy or make a general assignment for the benefit of your creditors, or (iv) if you in any way exceed the scope of the rights and licenses granted under the Agreement by giving written notice to you specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach, failure or excess (“Termination for Cause”). The termination will become effective upon giving notice of the breach, failure or excess.Immediately upon a Termination For Cause, you must transition to PI all Clients for which you are the agent of record. For the sake of clarity, the buyback provisions in Section 11 shall not apply.
  13. After Termination
    Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, your access to the Products will be shut off, and you must immediately discontinue all use of the Products and Intellectual Property.Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, you and your affiliates will not, intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships between PI and any Client for a period of two (2) years following such termination. This includes, but is not limited to, soliciting or inducing, or attempting to solicit or induce, any Client to discontinue its relationship with PI or any other Partner, or to otherwise discontinue any Client’s use of PI’s products or services.
  14. Changes
    We may change the Agreement, Terms or any Addendum(s) by providing you with thirty (30) days’ written notice of our revisions, which may be posted on our Website or within our Products, sent to you by email or any other reasonable means. Unless you terminate your Agreement, (i) any changes to Commissions based on a percentage of price will be effective immediately and apply on a go-forward basis (excluding renewals of prior Product sales unless PI, in its sole discretion, pays a Renewal Change Fee); and (ii) all other changes in the Agreement will be effective immediately and apply to any continued or new participation in our Program. We may change or discontinue Products or any features of any Product at any time. We also have the right to implement further policies and procedures related to Partner’s use or demonstration of the Products and Trademarks at any time.A “Renewal Change Fee” is two times (2x) the difference between: (i) the previous Commission rates as applied to the Partner’s previous twelve (12) months of billings prior to the change; and (ii) the new Commission rates as applied to the Partner’s previous twelve (12) months of billings prior to the change.EXAMPLE: If the Commission is 50% on a specific product that had gross billings for that product of $100k over the past 12 months, this would make the Partner’s Commission $50k on that product. If PI changed this Product to a 30% Commission, then PI would pay the Partner $40k (20%*$100k*2).

Billing and Payment

  1. Order Process

If we do not receive payment in respect of any invoice from any Client, within ninety (90) days of issuance, upon notice to you, we will issue a credit to the original invoice and deduct the Commission paid to you with respect to such unpaid invoice from subsequent commission payments. The Commissions paid to you by us under the Agreement shall constitute the full compensation to which you shall be entitled under the Agreement.
