    • DELL TECHNOLOGIES PARTNER PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS (MEXICO AND MCLA)

    • By participating in the Dell Technologies Partner Program (the "Program"), the company or entity that submits the channel Partner application or which is accepted into the Program (hereinafter referred to as "You" or "Partner") agrees to comply with the Dell Technologies Partner Program Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions"), which includes: (i) the General Terms and Conditions; ii) the Partner-specific Terms and Conditions, for any and all Partner registrations in respect of which You are authorized to participate in the Program; iii) the documents, terms and conditions (as amended) referred to in these Terms and Conditions; and (iv) any product resale agreement (the "Product Resale Agreement") that You have entered into with Dell Technologies.

       

      We ask that you print a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your records. Completing the Partner application does not imply or mean that You have been accepted into the Program, which will be subject to the successful completion of the vetting process, either directly by Dell Technologies or through an Authorized Reseller.

       

      For purposes of this Agreement, "Dell Technologies" means Dell America Latina Corp., Sucursal Argentina, Dell Computer de Chile Limitada, Dell Colombia Inc., Dell México S.A. de C.V., Dell Peru S.A.C., Dell World Trade L.P. and Dell Inc. and any of their affiliates and subsidiaries; "EMC" means EMC Computer Systems México S.A. de C.V., EMC Information Systems International Unlimited Company and EMC Corp. and any of their affiliates and subsidiaries, or any company that replaces them in the future as part of any corporate reorganization processes; "Dell Technologies" means Dell, EMC, or both; and "Dell Technologies Affiliate" means any direct or indirect subsidiary of Dell or EMC, as the case may be. This Agreement supersedes any prior Program terms in effect between You and Dell or EMC. If You have a Product Resale Agreement signed with Dell Technologies, it shall prevail over these T&Cs, in the event of a dispute, unless otherwise provided therein. 

       

      General Terms and Conditions

       

      1. Eligibility. During your participation in the Program, you must (a) maintain a good credit position with Dell Technologies; (b) meet the requirements of the Program, including completing, at your own expense, the necessary trainings; and (c) comply with these Terms and Conditions, and also with any product resale agreements (the "Product Resale Agreement") that You have entered into with Dell Technologies; in the event of a discrepancy, the latter shall prevail, unless otherwise provided. In addition, at all times You must: (d) maintain an updated company profile on the Partner Portal (as defined below), including your profile in the Find a Partner Tool, and provide relevant and up-to-date contact details of your staff; (e) manage Partner Portal permissions and access for your company's staff, and ensure that each user has appropriate access rights, including disabling in a timely manner the access of personnel who have been reassigned or who have been disassociated from the company; and (f) provide immediate written notice to Dell Technologies of any changes that may affect your participation in the Program. You shall designate an individual (the "Partner Account Manager") to perform the tasks referred to in subparts (d) and (f) and to receive all types of notices required by Dell Technologies pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. You authorize Dell Technologies to publish and include your Partner profile and company information in the Find a Partner Tool to help the public find a Dell Technologies Partner.

       

      2. Applicable documents

       

      2.1 Terms and Conditions. Unless noted in writing by Dell Technologies, these Terms and Conditions govern your participation in the Program, including marketing and incentive programs, and other subprograms available to You. These Terms and Conditions supersede all prior program terms and conditions (including but not limited to the EMC Reseller Marketing Support Terms, Dell Partner Direct Terms and Conditions, and Dell EMC Partner Program Terms and Conditions) between You and Dell Technologies. If a Product Resale Agreement has been entered into individually with Dell Technologies, or one is signed in the future, You must comply with both sets of terms and conditions, and in the event of a discrepancy, the Product Resale Agreement shall prevail, unless otherwise provided therein.

       

      2.2 Purchases. Purchases of hardware equipment and software licenses (the "Products") and support, maintenance, professional and other services (the "Services") provided directly by Dell Technologies are subject to the Product Resale Agreement you have entered into with Dell Technologies. In the event that a Product Resale Agreement has not been signed, You will purchase the Products and Services for resale only through an authorized Dell Technologies Partner Program reseller (the "Distributor"), unless You are expressly authorized in writing by Dell Technologies to purchase Products and Services directly from Dell Technologies.

       

      2.3 Subprograms’ Terms and Conditions. You agree that if you participate in or receive benefits from a sales or marketing initiative or program under the Dell Technologies Partner Program, you are subject to the terms and conditions (if any) that Dell Technologies imposes for the initiative or program (hereinafter, the "Subprograms’ Terms and Conditions"). All initiatives or programs that offer incentives, rebates, Marketing Development Funds or other economic benefits are subject to the Dell Technologies Partner Program Incentive Terms and Conditions included herein and the business rules (if any) of the initiative or program. Additionally, all Subprogram’s Terms and Conditions, even if expressly not provided for, shall be understood to contain these Terms and Conditions by reference.

       

      3. Partner Portal

       

      3.1 Grant of License. Dell Technologies may provide you, or You may receive, (a) access to the "Partner Portal", which includes websites, platforms, applications (web or mobile), tools and other resources related to the Program; and (b) "Information", including Confidential Information (as defined below), "Customer Data" (as defined in the Customer Data Terms and Conditions included herein), and "Personal Information" (as defined below). Dell Technologies grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license for as long as these Terms and Conditions are in effect, to access and use the Partner Portal and Information for your exclusive internal use and solely for the purposes of (a) marketing and delivery of Products and Services; (b) development of Partner value-added services for the sole purpose of enabling and supporting customers' use of the Products and Services; or (c) assistance provided to Dell Technologies in selling the Products and Services. You will use the Partner Portal and the Information only in accordance with (d) these Terms and Conditions, (e) all additional terms and conditions accompanying the Partner Portal or the Information, such as separately signed Reseller Terms and Conditions, an agreement accepted through 'clickwrap', or a notice indicating that additional terms and conditions govern the Partner Portal or the Information (referred to, collectively, as the "Accompanied Terms and Conditions") and (f) the Site Terms and Conditions of Use contained herein in the event that You access or use the Partner Portal or Information from Dell Technologies websites. Your use of the Find a Partner Tool is subject to the Terms and Conditions mentioned herein. You will use and manage Customer Data in accordance with and subject to the Customer Data Terms and Conditions mentioned in this section. In case of discrepancy between these terms and conditions, the order of precedence is: Accompanied Terms and Conditions, Customer Data Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions, and the Terms and Conditions of Use of the Site. All information shall be the property of Dell Technologies. Rights not expressly granted to You are the reserved rights of Dell Technologies.

       

      3.2 Errors and Availability. Dell Technologies assumes no responsibility for errors or delays in the transmission of Partner information to Dell Technologies that may occur prior to our receipt of the transmission of such information. The security procedures used in the Partner Portal are limited exclusively to the purposes of authenticating a transmission. Dell Technologies is deemed to have received transmissions only when Dell Technologies has received them in a reliable manner. The Partner Portal may sometimes be unavailable and no notice may have been issued. Dell Technologies is not responsible for any damage or loss that occurs as a result of such unavailability.

       

      3.3 Other benefits for the Partner. Dell Technologies may decide to make certain information collected about your company available to other companies with which Dell Technologies has a strategic relationship, including companies that conduct market research for Dell Technologies or offer products or services for your benefit or that of your customers. The information will be provided under confidentiality agreements between Dell Technologies and such Partners, and may be used to notify You of products, services or programs that Dell Technologies believes may be of interest to You.

       

      4. Information

       

      4.1 Confidential Information. In connection with the Program, You may be exposed to or have access (through the Partner Portal or otherwise) to materials, data or information, whether written, oral, electronic, website-based or otherwise, that is generally not available to the public (collectively, the "Confidential Information"). You will keep all Confidential Information in strict confidence for a period of three (3) years following the termination of these Terms and Conditions, and you must apply, at a minimum, the same level of care you employ for your own Confidential Information, but no less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms and Conditions, your confidentiality obligations with respect to Personal Information and trade secrets (including technical information about current Products and Services, and information about unreleased Products and Services) of Dell Technologies or a Dell Affiliate will never expire. You may share Confidential Information only with those employees who have a need to know in order to advance the business relationship between You and Dell Technologies, who are subject to legally binding confidentiality obligations that are at least as restrictive as those imposed on You in these Terms and Conditions. You are absolutely responsible for your staff's failure to comply with this paragraph. These confidentiality obligations do not apply to Confidential Information that (a) You can demonstrate was already in your possession prior to receiving it from Dell Technologies; (b) is publicly available, or becomes public, and this is not your or your staff fault; or (c) You have received it, by operation of law, from a third party that has no confidentiality obligation. In the event that a government entity or a court of law requires You to disclose Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by law, You agree to inform Dell Technologies thereof in reasonable time so that Dell Technologies may refuse disclosure or seek an order of protection. You acknowledge that damages arising from the inappropriate disclosure of Confidential Information may be irreparable and that Dell Technologies shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including an injunctive relief, in addition to any other available legal or equitable remedies. Beyond any individual confidentiality agreement You have entered into with Dell Technologies, You authorize and agree that Dell Technologies and Dell Affiliates, and its employees and contractors, may access and use information relating to your business with Dell Technologies and information, including Personal Information, that You provide to Dell Technologies in connection with the Program for sales and marketing purposes, and for any purpose relating to the Program or the relationship between You and Dell Technologies (collectively, the "Purpose"), and that the Purpose may be disclosed to distributors or resellers, governmental entities, or relevant customers or end users for the purpose of fulfilling the Purpose, or fulfilling the obligations Dell Technologies has assumed towards You and/or its customers or end users.

       

      4.2 Personal Information. In the event that You provide Dell Technologies with any Personal Information about your staff, customers or prospective customers, You declare that You have obtained the necessary permission to transfer such information to Dell Technologies and to use and disclose the Personal Information as authorized in these Terms and Conditions. As used in these Terms and Conditions, "Personal Information" means any type of data or information that, separately or in conjunction with other information, is related to an identified or identifiable natural person or legal entity, or data that is considered personal data as defined in applicable laws. You will hold Dell Technologies harmless from any third-party claims arising out of your violation to this section.

       

      5. Lead Management Tools. Dell Technologies may provide you with Lead Management tools (the "Lead Management Tools") to access and manage information related to your potential opportunities. The term "Partner Potential Opportunity Contact Data" means the first and last name, email address and telephone number of the contact that (i) Dell Technologies has not provided and (ii) You choose to register with the Lead Management Tools. Dell Technologies will not use Partner's Potential Opportunity Contact Data for its direct sales or marketing efforts, except if it has your prior approval or where Dell Technologies has independently obtained such data from other sources. You understand that potential opportunity records from the Partner Portal may automatically link to potential opportunities in the Lead Management Tool. You understand and consent to the following: once an opportunity is registered with a potential client, (a) information about the potential opportunity related to the client will be displayed in the Opportunity Registration Tool; (b) all contact details of potential Partner opportunities will be displayed to Partners and distributors, and to Dell Technologies' channel and sales staff through the Potential Opportunity Registration Tool; (c) the agreement registration officer may view a list of contacts at the Partner and Distributor level, and obtain the participation of one or more of them as a point of contact for the agreement; and (d) all Partner and Distributor contacts, and all Dell Technologies sales and channel staff can see the names and contact information of all contacts associated with the agreement.

       

      6. Administration.

       

      6.1 During the term of these Terms and Conditions, and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, You will maintain legible, accurate and complete books, records and documents in relation to these Terms and Conditions, and the activities You have performed under them. After the retention period is over, you will need to discard these records in a proper way. As requested by Dell Technologies, You shall cooperate with and assist Dell Technologies in connection with audits, reviews or investigations (the "Audit") related to (a) these Terms and Conditions, or your compliance with laws; (b) the marketing, sale, distribution, licensing or offering of Products and Services, whether obtained from Dell Technologies or other third parties; (c) refunds, incentives, concessions or other amounts paid or payable by Dell Technologies; (d) compliance with the brand's guidelines in relation to the logo; or (e) amounts due to Dell Technologies. In connection with an Audit, You will provide all records, information and documents reasonably requested by Dell Technologies. Dell Technologies has the right to perform Site Audits. You shall grant Dell Technologies and its employees and representatives reasonable access to information, records, personnel and customers (including customer agreements to verify your compliance with these Terms and Conditions), and provide entry to and access to your establishment or other locations (during normal business hours) in which such records and information are located. Failure to cooperate with an Audit or to provide the information or records requested by Dell Technologies is considered a breach of these Terms and Conditions, and will result in Dell Technologies initiating actions, such as withholding MDF, refunds or any other incentives, or terminating your participation in this Program or the Product Resale Agreement You may have with Dell Technologies. Dell Technologies will bear the costs of the Audit, except in those cases where a difference of five (5) percent or more is detected in the information You have disclosed, in which case You agree to assume responsibility for reasonable costs. Prior to accepting certain high-volume purchase orders, Dell Technologies may request You, and You agree to provide, evidence (not including confidential terms and prices) that a final and binding purchase order has been executed by the end user customer for the Dell Technologies products and/or services being ordered (notably, the necessary testing will be subject to approval by Dell Technologies and will not include letters of intent, purchases subject to a future event, internal documentation from distributors or participation in bidding processes before public or private entities).

       

      6.2 Dell Technologies may reject any claim that it considers, in its sole discretion, to be in non-compliance with these Terms and Conditions, the Program, the Product Resale Agreement or the Subprogramme Terms and Conditions. Without notice, Dell Technologies may immediately suspend or terminate a quote, purchase order, registration, your participation in the Program or your Product Resale Agreement, if you provide Dell Technologies or its customers with claims or information that are inaccurate, incomplete or fraudulent, or if you engage in activities that may cause harm, embarrassing situations or negative publicity to Dell Technologies or any of its officers, directors or employees. Dell Technologies records and systems will be final and conclusive for the purpose of determining your eligibility and the benefits of the Program and the subprogram, and for executing any type of calculation under the Program or subprograms. Dell Technologies reserves the right to interpret the Program and subprogram rules in its sole discretion. All decisions made by Dell Technologies will be final.

       

      7. Partner Conduct. The terms referred to in section 6 (Administration) and 7 (Partner Conduct) are collectively referred to as the "Terms and Conditions of Compliance".

Any incentive paid to you by Dell Technologies will automatically terminate and be terminated, and You must immediately refund such incentive to Dell Technologies, in the event of a breach of the Anti-Corruption Laws with respect to a transaction for which the incentive was paid.
