This Agreement shall enter into force upon submission of the application (online or in writing) and shall be concluded for an indefinite period. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. The right to terminate this Agreement for good cause, in particular in the event of breaches of duty, conduct damaging to reputation, or non-compliance with this Agreement, shall remain unaffected.
3. Services and Benefits of the Partnership
3.1 Visibility and Marketing
• OPaaS shall promote the Partner by listing it in the partner directory on www.opaas.cloud.
• The Partner shall receive a non-exclusive right to use the OPaaS partner logo and the designation “OPaaS Partner”, but only with the prior written approval of OPaaS.
• The Partner shall be granted access to official OPaaS marketing and sales materials.
3.2 Sales Commissions
• For each new customer referred by the partner, the partner, as a Business Class Partner, receives a one-time commission equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the net order volume, capped at a maximum of one hundred fifty euros (150 €) per monthly subscription or one thousand five hundred euros (1,500 €) per annual subscription.
• If the partner achieves net revenue of at least ten thousand euros (€10,000) from the customers they refer within a calendar year, the partner will be promoted to First Class Partner status effective immediately. As a First Class Partner, the Partner will receive a one-time commission equal to fifty percent (50%) of the net order volume for new customers referred on or after July 1, 2026, capped at a maximum of one hundred fifty euros (€150) per monthly subscription or one thousand five hundred euros (€1,500) per annual subscription.
