Welcome to the PaperCut Add-ons Platform! These terms, and our published policies that support them, form an Agreement between us, PaperCut Software International Pty Ltd, and you, the individual or organization that you represent.

1. The relationship between PaperCut, Developers and Customers

The Add-ons Platform (from here on, just the “Platform”) is the place where add-on developers (from here on, “Developers”) can make their Add-ons available to PaperCut Customers for use alongside their PaperCut software or services.

We may be party to Terms of Service, Platform Terms or End User License Agreements between us and the customer, however it’s important that you understand that the Add-ons are provided directly by you to the Customers, subject to our rules but otherwise independent of any relationship PaperCut may have with those Customers.

For the purposes of this agreement, an Affiliate means an entity owned by, controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, directly or indirectly, a party to this Agreement. For this purpose, one entity “controls” another entity if it has the power to direct the management and policies of the other entity (for example, through the ownership of voting securities or other equity interest, representation on its board of directors or other governing body, or by contract).

Our rights in this Agreement extend to our Affiliates in the PaperCut family of companies to the extent that we rely on them to provide any part of the Platform services to you.

2. Term, termination, modification and suspension

The Agreement between you and us will begin upon your acceptance of these terms during the onboarding process, or the first time you submit an Add-on for availability on the Platform, whichever comes first.

You can terminate the Agreement by writing to us, with 10 days’ notice, stating that you will discontinue distribution of your Add-on via the Platform. We can terminate the Agreement, or part thereof, at any time with notice to you, in which case your Add-ons will be removed from the Platform.

We may, in our sole discretion, modify the operation of the Platform, remove any Add-on from the Platform, indefinitely suspend access to the Platform, or suspend the availability of any Add-on on the Platform, at any time and for any reason.

Finally, we may change these terms at any time with reasonable notice to you. If we make a material change, we’ll provide you with reasonable notice by emailing you at the address you’ve provided. You are responsible for ensuring that the email address you provide to us is properly monitored and that you provide us with an updated address if it changes.

What constitutes “reasonable notice” will depend on our reason for the modification- if the modification is required to address a time-sensitive issue that threatens, the integrity of the Platform or the interests of us, you, other Developers, our Customers, their users, our channel partners or anyone else, it may be necessary to notify you after the change has been made. If any change is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to remove your Add-on from the Platform and/or terminate the Agreement in accordance with this clause.

Importantly, your legal obligations to us, your Customers and their users will continue for as long as necessary while your Customers continue to use your Add-on. Termination of this Agreement does not affect your rights or obligations under the Terms of Use for your Add-on, your Privacy Policy, or any parts of this Agreement which set minimum standards for Add-ons (including, without limitation, any Policies).

3. Our policies

Access to the Platform, by you and by Customers, is subject to our published Policies. As the Platform grows, these policies will grow with it, and may contain rules, standards, directions or guidance relating to, without limitation:

  1. Onboarding

  2. Add-on content;

  3. Add-on quality control processes;

  4. Add-on security and access;

  5. Intellectual property management;

  6. Use (and access to) the PaperCut API (the “API”);

  7. Monetization of Add-ons;

  8. Data protection;

  9. Data sovereignty; or

  10. Use of the Platform by our channel partners (being non-PaperCut companies who resell our products and services).

By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to abide by these Policies, as updated by us from time to time.

4. Our API

License: Subject to any rights and obligations in this clause or otherwise set out in a Policy, we grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, limited license to access the API and any related documentation as necessary to develop, test and support Add-ons to be made available on the Platform.

Usage: Subject to our express agreement otherwise, you must keep the API and any related documentation safe and confidential. You must not:

  1. access the API or documentation in violation of any law or regulation;

  2. access the API in any manner that:

    1. compromises or circumvents any of our technical processes or security measures;

    2. exposes us or our Customers to any security vulnerability; or

    3. tests the vulnerability of the API, our systems or networks;

  3. access the API or documentation with the purpose of replicating or competing with the API or the Platform;

  4. attempt to reverse engineer or otherwise derive source code, trade secrets or any other confidential information in the API, the Platform, or any of our systems; or

  5. embed any of our confidential or sensitive information in a non-secure forum such as a single webpage application, including without limitation:

    1. your credentials, being any of the passwords, keys or client IDs we have issued to you in your capacity as a developer); or

    2. our credentials, whether or not they can be used to make an API call; or

  6. attempt to use the API in a way which, in our sole opinion acting reasonably, constitutes abuse or excessive usage.

5. Intellectual Property

Your intellectual property: You retain all ownership rights in your Add-on. To the extent that any part of your Add-on includes open source or third party intellectual property, nothing in this Agreement or your participation in the Platform constitutes any change in the ownership of that intellectual property. You represent and warrant that you have all right, title and interest necessary for us to make your Add-on available using the Platform, including all intellectual property rights. This includes the content of your Add-on as well as other necessary intellectual property, such as the right to use and broadcast your name and the name of your Add-on. You promise that you will not distribute, or allow anyone under your reasonable control to distribute or make available any material through the Platform which is copyrighted, protected by trade secrets or otherwise subject to any third party rights unless you have the written permission of the owner(s) of those rights.

Our intellectual property: We or our licensors retain all ownership rights in the Platform and the PaperCut ecosystem as a whole, including but not limited to our software, trademarks, API and documentation.

6. Licensing and Customer relationship

You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce and make available your Add-on and any trade names, trademarks, logos or other intellectual property that you indicate to us as being associated with your Add-on for the strict purposes of administering the Platform and facilitating the distribution of your Add-on.

Upon a Customer accessing your Add-on via the Platform, You:

  1. grant the Customer a non-exclusive, worldwide, subscription license to perform, display, and use the Add-on and any content legitimately contained in, accessed by, or transmitted through the Add-on in connection with the PaperCut software or services; and

  2. Promise to keep the Customer’s personal information, and any personal information provided to you via the Customer’s (or their end users’) use of the Add-on, private in such a way that complies with all applicable privacy laws. The best way to do this is to maintain a legally compliant privacy policy and ensure that the Customer understands that any personal information will be handled in accordance with it.

You may configure your Add-on to contain a separate EULA, Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy (“Customer Terms”) between you and the Customer provided that these terms meet the minimum licensing and privacy requirements described above. To the extent that your Add-on relies on the customer obtaining a license to any third-party intellectual property, you must also ensure that your Add-on allows the Customer to review and accept any necessary third-party licenses.

These agreements/policies will be strictly between you (or third-party licensors) and the Customer, and must meet any other rules, minimum standards and contain any mandatory wording specified by us in a Policy or otherwise notified to you, if any. We reserve the right to review any Customer Terms to ensure that they do not break the law or have the effect of reducing the effectiveness of the Platform for us, other developers, or customers. To protect ourselves, developers, customers and the Platform as a whole, we may ask you to amend or remove particular Customer Terms and may suspend or remove your Add-on from the Platform until you do.

Upon a Customer terminating use of, or otherwise disconnecting your Add-on:

All Customers will, via the Platform, be able to directly disconnect from an Add-on, effectively ceasing yours (and the Add-on’s) access to the Customer’s PaperCut instance. The Terms of Use between you and your Customer may include rules or restrictions relating to this right to disconnect (subject to any guidelines or policies we may set about the content of any Terms of Use), however you acknowledge that any such rules will be between you and the Customer and the actions of the Customer in disconnecting an Add-on will not, under any circumstances, constitute an action by us or a breach of this Agreement by us.

Upon our receiving notice of disconnection by a Customer, we will take reasonable steps to contact you and the Customer to ensure that the disconnection is finalised. You acknowledge that we may, without limitation:

  1. Require you to take active steps to ensure that the Add-on is disconnected;

  2. Require you to confirm whether the disconnection was successful; and

  3. Report to the Customer on the status of the disconnection, including any response (or lack thereof) we have received from you.

By making an Add-on available on the Platform, you undertake that you are able to support the disconnection process and will devote appropriate resources to ensuring that Customers are able to manage your Add-on (including any disconnection of that Add-on) with an appropriate level of engagement and transparency from you.

7. Support

You will be solely responsible for supporting or maintaining any Add-on you submit to the Platform. Subject to the introduction of alternative options in a Policy, all Add-ons to be submitted for distribution on the Platform must be appropriately supported by you. You warrant and represent that you will, at minimum:

  1. Provide and maintain clear and accurate contact information that Customers can use to identify and contact you; and

  2. Take immediate action to redress any issues with Add-on functionality or security that you become aware of.

Subject to the application of a specific Policy, we may exercise any necessary right to protect the Platform and Customers in the event that we reasonably believe that an Add-on has not been sufficiently maintained or supported, including removing the Add-on from the Platform and suspending or terminating your participation in the Platform.

8. Privacy and Security

To facilitate the distribution of Add-ons on the Platform, we may provide you with (or the Platform may facilitate your access to) relevant Customer information and also may provide Customers with your relevant information (for example for invoicing or support services).

You agree that you will keep Customer information confidential and only use this information in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. In circumstances where Personal Information is provided to you by PaperCut, you may be PaperCut’s data processor (or more specifically a subprocessor) for the purposes of the GDPR. In this case you agree to treat such information in accordance with the Data Processor Agreement appended to these terms.

If a Customer or any other person will be providing you with any personal information via their use of the Platform or an Add-on, then you must comply with all applicable law in dealing with that information, including, at minimum:

  1. providing a privacy notice, making the person aware of their personal information and how you will handle that information;

  2. obtaining the person’s permission to use their personal information;

  3. using the personal information only for the limited purposes for which the person gave permission; and

  4. meeting any privacy or spam law requirements that apply to you.

Without limiting the above, or any requirements set out in our official Policies, your Add-on must not require a Customer to grant a level of permission that exceeds what is strictly necessary for the Customer to access the Add-on’s functionality.

The security of your Add-on remains your responsibility. In the event that you become aware of any security or data privacy concerns with your Add-on, you must disclose any such issues in accordance with applicable law. Regardless of the law that applies in the circumstances, you must immediately inform us if you become aware of an actual, suspected or potential issue which affects the security of your Add-on or the security of any Customer data that has been made available to you.

9. Warranty disclaimer

Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement or a Policy, the Platform, APIs, documentation and all related information are provided by us on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties of any kind, and we expressly disclaim any and all warranties, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, title, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. You acknowledge that we do not warrant that the APIs will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

10. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total, cumulative liability to you (and your Affiliates) for any claim whether it be for breach of contract (including under an indemnity), in tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the Platform, this Agreement or the relationship between the parties, shall be limited the total of all Fees paid by you for in association with this Agreement or the Platform in the 12 months preceding the claim, and in any case no more than US$1,000.

To the extent permitted by law, PaperCut excludes any warranty or guarantee not expressly stated in this Agreement, whether express, implied or statutory, including any guarantees or warranties of acceptability and fitness for a particular purpose, and will not be liable for any loss, damage or expense which is indirect, consequential, special or exemplary damages, nor for any lost profits, revenue, goodwill, data or any business interruption, even if PaperCut has been advised of, knows of, or should have known of the possibility of such loss, damage or expense.

You acknowledge and agree that owing to the nature of the Platform, PaperCut does not represent or warrant that access to the Platform will be continuously available or that the Platform will be error free. You acknowledge that you act as agent for your Affiliates in respect of this Agreement and are responsible to PaperCut for their acts and omissions.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PaperCut, our Affiliates and their respective representatives, agents and employees against all losses, costs (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis), expenses, demands or liability that we incur arising out of, or in connection with, your use of the Platform and any Add-on or other content made available using the Platform.

We may, at our expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter you indemnify us against, and if we do so then you agree to cooperate with us.
