3.1 Program Benefits.
(a) Generally. As part of the Program, we might invite you to participate in opportunities or provide you with other benefits (collectively, “Benefits”) related to your activities that support usage, promotion or knowledge of Vultr products and services (collectively, “Projects”). Your participation in the Program, including any Projects, or your receipt of any Benefits, are governed by these Terms and any additional terms, conditions, guidelines, and requirements expressed as “Additional Terms” (collectively, “Additional Terms”) that are made available to you (including any terms that Vultr may be required to pass down to you from third parties) whether via the Partner Agreement, email, a program guide, letter [or the Partner Portal]. If we make these Additional Terms available to you, they are incorporated by reference into these Terms. By participating in a Project or accepting the Benefits, you agree to the Additional Terms.
(b) Eligibility. You are only eligible for Benefits as part of a Project if you (i) submit a Project proposal to Vultr, (ii) receive Vultr’s approval that you are eligible for such Benefits prior to the Project start date, and (iii) complete the Project in accordance with your Project proposal, in jurisdictions approved by Vultr, and in compliance with these Terms. Benefits are provided by us pursuant to these Terms, as determined by Vultr, and subject to your compliance with these Terms and any other agreements between you and Vultr (such as, for example only, the Partner Agreement). If you receive Benefits for which Vultr determines you are not eligible, you will return such Benefits upon our request, or we may cancel such Benefits or make corresponding reductions to any of your future Benefits.
(c) Use. You may not use any Benefits for any purpose other than for their intended use as communicated to you by Vultr. Benefits may not be used by your employees for their personal benefit.
(d) Government Customer Projects. If you accept Benefits in support of a Project relating to an existing or potential business relationship with a Government customer (a “Government Customer Project”), you agree that:
(i) If the Benefits are in the form of funding, the Government must derive independent financial benefit from your consumption of the Benefits (i.e., free or discounted products or services from you).
(ii) You will comply with all applicable Government procurement laws, rules, regulations, and contract provisions, including any that pertain to discounts and rebates, or that pertain to ethics and integrity (e.g., prohibitions against gratuities, bribery, corruption, kickbacks, conflicts of interest, false statements or claims, etc.). Your use of Benefits must not create a conflict of interest (or the appearance of a conflict of interest) for you or Vultr, or give rise to any liability for Vultr. Vultr recommends you confirm with the Government customer’s contracting officer, ethics official, or other applicable Government representative that your use of Benefits is lawful, ethical, and permissible.
(iii) You will disclose to Government customers the details regarding your receipt of Benefits to the extent required by applicable law, any Government contracting requirements, or Vultr. Vultr is not responsible for confirming the accuracy of such disclosures prior to distributing Benefits. If you provide recommendations to a Government customer regarding Vultr services, Benefits should not impact such recommendations, and you will not use Benefits for the Government Customer Project unless you first disclose in writing to the Government customer that Vultr is providing you Benefits for the Project.
(e) Responsibility. You are solely responsible for ensuring you are eligible to receive, and that you are using, Benefits in accordance with applicable law. You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Vultr and its affiliates, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives and their respective successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, judgment, settlement, expense, interest, and any other liability (including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs) related to any Project, your violation of applicable laws, breach of the Terms.

In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Vultr is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, Vultr’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. Evidence of successful transmission shall be retained. Each of the parties agrees to the following for all electronic communications: (i) the user identification of a sender, contained in an electronic communication, is legally sufficient to verify the sender's identity and the communication's authenticity; (ii) an electronic communication sent by you containing your user identification establishes you as its originator and has the same effect as a document with your written signature on it; and (iii) an electronic communication, or any computer printout of it, is valid proof of the validity of the original document of the electronic communication.
9.12 General. These Terms together with our Vultr Privacy Policy and related notices, Acceptable Use Policy, Copyright Policy, ncluding the terms of the Partner Agreement and any applicable Additional Terms and all other documents incorporated by reference herein, and any Additional Terms that we may make available from time to time through our internet properties, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vultr regarding your use of the Partner Portal and participation in the Program and supersede and replace any prior written or oral agreements regarding the foregoing. We will not be bound by, and specifically object to, any term, condition, or other provision in any purchase order or other document that you provide to us that is different from or in addition to the provisions of these Terms (whether or not it would materially alter these Terms). If there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control, except that these Terms will control with respect to any Additional Terms from a third party. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Neither the rights nor obligations arising under these Terms are assignable by you. Any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. We may assign these Terms without restriction. Beginning upon commencement of your registration as a Partner and continuing for a period of two (2) years after the termination of these Terms or after any other cancellation or termination of your Partner Portal account with us, you agree not to directly or indirectly, solicit, hire, contract, or otherwise employ any Vultr employee who was an employee during the term of these Terms, to work for you or any other firm, person or business, of whatever character, corporate or otherwise. Section and subsection headings of these Terms are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof. Vultr shall not be responsible for any failure to perform due to unforeseen circumstances or to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; war, riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, public health emergencies, pandemics, or terrorism; fire, flood, earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms or other natural disasters; fiber cuts; strikes, or shortages in transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials; failure of the telecommunications or information services infrastructure; hacking, SPAM, or any failure of a computer, server or software for so long as such event continues to delay Vultr's performance.
