Program Special Features
Reseller Agreement
The Reseller may enter into sales agreements/contracts with third parties (customers) to sell the Products to customers. Wavelink are not a party to these agreements/contracts and are not contractually bound to such agreements/contracts and the Reseller cannot represent to the customers that Wavelink is bound.
Wavelink can only be bound to the provisions in the Reseller Agreement.
For example, if the Reseller sells 10 Products, but Wavelink only have 8 in stock, Wavelink are not bound by the Reseller’s sale (however clause 4.2 of the Reseller Agreement sets out that Wavelink must use good faith to fulfill all orders).
If Wavelink supplies Products that contain third party software that has its own applicable licence agreements/terms and conditions (ie Microsoft programs will have their own licence agreement), the Reseller (and in turn its customers) must agree to be bound by such third party terms and conditions as the use of such products is dependant on the terms being complied with.
In order to avoid disputes, it is important to set out when the risk of damage or loss regarding the Products will pass to the Reseller – in this case, upon delivery.
The Reseller cannot expect Wavelink to be responsible for Products in the Reseller’s possession, much like the Reseller won’t be responsible for the Products once in the customer’s possession.
Wavelink will retain a security interest in the Products until such time that it receives payment in full. The Reseller should have appropriate insurance.
Wavelink are not responsible for the actions or omissions of the Reseller (or vice versa). If there are not appropriate indemnity clauses, either party could be unfairly held responsible for losses that are out of their control.
This Agreement provides for mutual indemnity clauses, whereby each party indemnifies the other party against loss incurred or sustained by their negligent or wilful acts or omissions (but not if the other party failed to perform its obligations under the Agreement).
Clause 14.5 limits the Reseller’s indemnity.
The indemnity provisions will survive termination of the Agreement so if a party incurs a loss etc as a result of the other party, after the Agreement is terminated, that party can still rely on this clause.
