Extension Reseller Agreement
In plain English…
- You must have complete rights to the code you're submitting.
- You must provide support to your customers for at least 30 days.
- You must provide support within 48 hours of the ticket being created.
- Our refund policy is: the thing will work and the thing will do what it says. It's up to you to work with your customers though our support system to resolve any issues. You can offer them a refund if you'd like at any point.
- If customers can't install it, it doesn't work, they're not getting help out of you, or really any other reason we choose, we will grant them a refund for you.
- If you're going to be unable to provide support for some reason, you need to let us know so we can make other arrangements.
- You must leave enough credit in your Concrete CMS account at any time to cover the customer's support window (in case a refund is required.)
- You must have $100 in your account to request withdrawal.
- PLEASE DON'T sell your add-on or theme elsewhere. We're not going to keep you from doing this legally (as Apple's app store does) but just to be clear, that totally screws us over and negates any value we've helped you create.
The agreement:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS FOR THE Concrete CMS MARKETPLACE. THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUTES A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN DEVELOPER AND PORTLANDLABS/CONCRETE.
Concrete CMS MARKETPLACE APPLICATION DEVELOPER AGREEMENT
Parties; Scope. This Concrete CMS Application Developer Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between the Developer described on the Application Developer registration screen ("Developer") and PortlandLabs Inc. d.b.a. Concrete CMS, an Oregon corporation ("Concrete") with respect to one or more software and/or browser based applications (the “Application(s)”) submitted to Concrete CMS for listing (if accepted) on the ConcreteCMS.com Marketplace (the “Marketplace”). The Application(s) are to be used by Concrete CMS users as add-on modules to the open-source Concrete CMS Content Management System Software (“Concrete CMS Software”).
The Application(s) submitted by the Developer consists of one or more of the following: (a) application software in object code form (the "Application Software"), which contains a graphical user interface; (b) services used by the Application(s) to access information or content from third party sources and other information via the internet ("Application Services"); and (c) database and/or storage of data or application information (the "Server Software and Data”). Developer has asked Concrete to review and, if accepted, distribute the Application. Concrete is willing to do so subject to Developer’s acceptance of this Agreement, and any other attachments and schedules.
Revisions to Prices and Other Terms. Concrete may, at its sole discretion, change any term of this Agreement by providing notice to Developer. Those changes will be effective on the later of (a) the first day of the next calendar month or (b) 30 days, following the date of notice. Developer agrees that failure of the Developer to make a written request for removal of its Application(s) during the notice period constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement replaces and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous proposals, understandings and agreements, written, electronic or oral, as well as all other communications between Developer and Concrete concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. To the extent any proposal, invoice, acknowledgement, confirmation or any other document issued by Concrete after the Effective Date contains any terms that are inconsistent with, in additional to, or different from, those in this Agreement, those terms will be deleted and the terms of this Agreement will control unless (a) that document expressly references the section of this Agreement to be amended; and (b) a duly authorized representative of each party signs that document.
Concrete CMS SOFTWARE IS PROTECTED BY UNITED STATES COPYRIGHT LAW AND INTERNATIONAL TREATY. UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION, MODIFICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IS SUBJECT TO CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- Purpose. Developer would like to develop one or more Applications (as defined below) for use by Concrete CMS Software users, to be distributed by the Marketplace. Concrete is willing to grant Developer limited access to the Marketplace to distribute the Application subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Applications developed under this Agreement can be distributed in two ways: (1) through the Marketplace (if selected by Concrete CMS), and (2) on a direct basis by Developer to Concrete CMS Software users. Applications that meet Concrete's Developer Requirements (below) may be submitted for consideration by Concrete for distribution via the Marketplace. If requested by Developer, an Application approved by Concrete (a “Qualified Application”), will be distributed through Marketplace. Distribution of free (no charge) Applications, as well as Applications sold for a fee, will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
- Ownership. Concrete retains all rights, title, and interest in and to Concrete CMS Software platform and any updates thereto it may make available to Developers under this Agreement or under the Standard Concrete CMS Open Source License (the “Concrete CMS MIT”). Developer agrees to cooperate with Concrete to maintain Concrete's ownership of Concrete CMS Software, and, to the extent that Developer becomes aware of any claims relating to Concrete CMS Software, Developer agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly provide notice of any such claims to Concrete. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not give Concrete any ownership interest in the Application(s).
- Updates; No Support or Maintenance. Concrete may extend, enhance, or otherwise modify Concrete CMS Software or services at any time without notice, and Concrete shall not be obligated to notify Developer with any changes to Concrete CMS Software. If updates are made available by Concrete, the terms of Concrete CMS MIT will govern such updates, unless the update is accompanied by a separate developer agreement in which case the terms of that agreement will govern. Concrete is not obligated to provide any maintenance, technical or other support for Concrete CMS Software or services. Developer acknowledges that Concrete has no express or implied obligation to announce or make available any updates to Concrete CMS Software or to any services to anyone in the future. Should an update be made available, it may have APIs, features, services or functionality that are different from those found in the current version of Concrete CMS Software in use at the time an Application is submitted for approval.
- Application Submission and Selection
- Submission to Concrete. Developer may submit Application(s) for consideration by Concrete for distribution via the ConcreteCMS.com website at any time. By submitting an Application, Developer represents and warrants that the Application complies with the Developer Requirements then in effect. Developer further agrees that Developer will not attempt to hide or obscure any features, content or functionality in submitted Applications from Concrete's review or otherwise hinder Concrete from being able to fully review such Application(s). Developer agrees to cooperate with Concrete in this submission process and to answer questions and provide information and materials in connection with a submitted Application, as reasonably requested by Concrete, including, without limitation, to provide Concrete with access to or with samples of physical devices that connect to the Application. For both functionality and content submissions, Developer must provide the name, text description, price, unique identifier number, and other information that Concrete reasonably requests (collectively, the "Submission Description") to Concrete. In the case of Applications that serve content (except themes), the actual content will not have to be submitted to Concrete, unless requested by Concrete. Concrete reserves the right to review the actual content of the Submission Description at any time, including, but not limited to, in the submission process and after approval of the Application by Concrete. Concrete reserves the right to withdraw its approval of content previously approved, and Developer agrees to stop making such content available for use within the Application. For avoidance of doubt, all content and functionality delivered through the Marketplace is subject to the Developer Requirements for Applications. Further, if the Application is accepted for distribution via the Marketplace, Developer agrees that Concrete may use the Application for the limited purpose of compatibility testing of the Application with Concrete CMS Software, for finding and fixing bugs in the Concrete CMS Software and for purposes of providing other information to Developer (e.g. crash logs).
- Selection by Concrete for Distribution. Developer understands and agrees that Concrete may, in its sole discretion: (a) submit the Application for peer review to third party developers selected by Concrete, AND/OR conduct an internal review, to determine if the Application meets the Developer Requirements then in effect; (b) reject the Application for distribution for any reason, even if the Application meets the Developer Requirements; or (c) select and distribute the Application via the Marketplace. Concrete shall not be responsible for any costs, expenses, damages, losses (including without limitation lost business opportunities or lost profits) or other liabilities Developer may incur as a result of developing an Application, use of Concrete CMS Software, use of any services, including without limitation the fact that the Application may not be selected for distribution via the Marketplace. Developer will be solely responsible for developing Applications that are safe, free of defects in design and operation, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Developer will also be solely responsible for any documentation and end user customer support and warranty of the Application(s). The fact that Concrete may have reviewed, tested, approved or selected an Application will not relieve Developer of any of these responsibilities.
- Concrete Approval. All Applications must be approved by Concrete to be distributed through the Marketplace. If Applications require licensing and or transfer of key codes, such licensing terms will not purport to require Concrete (or its agents) to participate in the licensing process (beyond the standard distribution of Marketplace), and Concrete CMS will not be responsible for making available any of the keys, authorization codes, methods, procedures, data or other information related to the security of applications. Further, Concrete will not in any way be responsible for maintaining or protecting any intellectual property rights or copyrights for the Application(s).
- Distribution. Applications developed under this Agreement may be distributed in two ways: (1) through the Marketplace, if selected by Concrete, and (2) distribution for use directly to end users by Developer.
- Marketplace Distribution. If a Qualified Application is designated by Developer as a free application, OR Developer charges end users a fee of any kind for a Qualified Application, it is eligible for delivery to end users via the Marketplace. Developer hereby appoints Concrete as Developer’s legal agent pursuant to the terms of Schedule 1.
- Direct Distribution. While concrete strongly encourages distribution of Applications through the Marketplace, largely to maintain consistency of end user experience, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer may also distribute Applications directly to individual users. Concrete is not responsible for and licensing, charges, fees or enforcement of terms of use in the case of such direct distribution. Concrete shall not be responsible for any costs, expenses, damages, losses (including without limitation lost business opportunities or lost profits) or other liabilities Developer may incur as a result of distributing Applications in this manner, or for Developer’s failure to adequately manage, limit or otherwise control the access to and use the Application(s). Developer will be solely responsible for all user assistance, warranty and support of Developer’s Applications.
- Revocation. Developer understands and agrees that Concrete may cease distribution of Application(s) and/or Content at any time at its sole discretion.
- Confidentiality
- Information Deemed Concrete Confidential. Concrete may from time to time share confidential information with Developer. This information is defined as any information not freely available in the public domain or published on ConcreteCMS.com/ConcreteCMS.org. Developer also agrees any terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the terms and conditions of Schedule 1 will be deemed "Concrete Confidential Information". Notwithstanding the foregoing, Concrete Confidential Information will not include: (i) information that is generally and legitimately available to the public through no fault or breach of Developer, (ii) information that is generally made available to the public by Concrete, (iii) information that is independently discovered by Developer without the use of any Concrete Confidential Information, or (iv) information that was rightfully obtained from a third party who had the right to transfer or disclose it to Developer without limitation.
- Obligations Regarding Concrete Confidential Information. Developer agrees to protect Concrete Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care that Developer use to protect its own confidential information of similar importance, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. Developer agree to use Concrete Confidential Information solely for the purpose of exercising Developer’s rights and performing Developer’s obligations under this Agreement and agree not to use Concrete Confidential Information for any other purpose, for Developer’s own or any third party's benefit, without Concrete's prior written consent. Developer further agree not to disclose or disseminate Concrete Confidential Information to anyone other than: (i) those employees and contractors, who have a need to know and who are bound by a written agreement that prohibits unauthorized use or disclosure of the Concrete Confidential Information; or (ii) except as otherwise agreed or permitted in writing by Concrete. Developer may disclose Concrete Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that Developer take reasonable steps to notify Concrete of such requirement before disclosing the Concrete Confidential Information and to obtain protective treatment of the Concrete Confidential Information. Developer acknowledges that damages for improper disclosure of Concrete Confidential Information may be irreparable; therefore, Concrete is entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and preliminary injunction, in addition to all other remedies.
- Information Submitted to Concrete Not Deemed Confidential. Concrete works with many application and software developers and some of their products may be similar to or compete with Developer’s Applications. Concrete may also be developing its own similar or competing applications and products or may decide to do so in the future. To avoid potential misunderstandings, Concrete cannot agree, and expressly disclaims, any confidentiality obligations or use restrictions, express or implied, with respect to any information that Developer may provide in connection with this Agreement or the Program, including information about the Application(s) and Application information (such disclosures will be referred to as "Developer Disclosures"). Developers agree that any such Developer Disclosures will be non-confidential. Concrete will be free to use and disclose any Licensee Disclosures on an unrestricted basis without notifying or compensating Developer. Developer releases Concrete from all liability and obligations that may arise from the receipt, review, use, or disclosure of any portion of any Licensee Disclosures. Any physical materials Developer submits to Concrete will become Concrete property and Concrete will have no obligation to return those materials to Developer or to certify their destruction.
- Press Releases and Other Publicity. Developer may not issue any press releases or make any other public statements regarding this Agreement, its terms and conditions, or the relationship of the parties without Concrete's express prior written approval, which may be withheld at Concrete's discretion.
- Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, Developer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Concrete, its directors, officers, employees, independent contractors and agents (each an "Concrete Indemnified Party") from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and costs (including without limitation attorneys fees and court costs) (collectively "Losses") incurred by Concrete and its employees, consultants and affiliates as a result of: Developer’s breach of this Agreement; a breach of any certification, covenant, representation or warranty made by Developer in this Agreement; any claims that Developer’s Applications or the distribution, sale, offer for sale, use or importation of the Application(s) (whether alone or as an essential part of a combination), Application Information or metadata violate or infringe any third party intellectual property or proprietary rights; any claims arising out of Concrete's permitted use, promotion or distribution of Developer’s Application(s), Content, related trademarks and logos, or images and other materials that Developer provides to Concrete at Concrete's request; and/or otherwise related to or arising from Developer’s use of Concrete CMS Software or services, Developer’s Application(s), or Developer’s development and distribution of Applications. Developer acknowledges that neither Concrete CMS Software nor any services are intended for use in the development of Applications in which errors or inaccuracies in the content, data or information provided by the Application or the failure of the Application, could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage, and, to the extent permitted by law, Developer hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Concrete and its employees, consultants and affiliates from any Losses incurred by such Concrete Indemnified Party by reason of any such use. In no event may Developer enter into any settlement or like agreement with a third party that affects Concrete's rights or binds Concrete in any way, without the prior written consent of Concrete.
- Term and Termination
- Term. The Term of this Agreement shall extend until the one (1) year anniversary of the original activation date of Developer’s ConcreteCMS.com account registration ("Effective Date"). Thereafter, subject to Developer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Term will automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement.
- Termination. This Agreement and all rights granted by Concrete hereunder and any services provided hereunder will terminate, effective immediately upon notice from Concrete. Termination can be made for any breach of this Agreement, at any time, at Concrete’s complete and total discretion, or for any reason or no reason. Developer may terminate this Agreement for its convenience, for any reason or no reason, effective 5 days after providing Concrete with written notice of its intent to terminate.
- Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Developer agrees to return or destroy all Concrete Confidential Information in Developer’s possession or control. At Concrete's request, Developer agrees to provide written certification of such destruction to Concrete. The provisions of Sections 8, 9 and 17 will survive any termination of this Agreement. Concrete will not be liable for compensation, indemnity, or damages of any sort as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy Concrete may have, now or in the future.
- NO WARRANTY. Concrete CMS Software may contain inaccuracies or errors that could cause failures or loss of data and it may be incomplete and cause failures of the Application.

- Obligation to Maintain Records. Developer and Concrete will, during the Term and for a period of at least one years following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, maintain complete and accurate records relating to Developer’s Net Fees and payment thereof.
- Audit Rights. If a Developer is eligible for payment of Net Fees, Developer will from time to time have the right to have an independent auditor audit Concrete’s books and records related to this Agreement to determine (a) the accuracy of the reports generated for the purposes of documenting Developer Fees; and (b) the amount of Developer Fees payable to the Developer. Audits must be performed during normal business hours and subject to not less than five days' prior notice. Each audit will be conducted at Developer’s sole cost and expense. The Developer’s right to an audit is limited: it applies to the activity of the Developer and the Developer’s application(s) only, and it applies only to activity, payments and Developer Fees earned during the 12 months prior to the audit date. If an audit reveals that Concrete under paid any Developer Fees, Concrete will promptly pay the amount of the underpayment to Developer within 10 business days.
