This Section applies if you elect to order Products using any of the following order methods: (i) Bulk Order, or (ii) to make Products available to End Users using a Company Storefront.

 

2.1 Right to Distribute. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Subscription Term and in the Territory, Fitbit hereby appoints you as an authorized, non-exclusive distributor of the Products and grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to market, resell and distribute the Products directly to End Users for their use without any right of redistribution, provided that such distribution must be as part of your corporate or population health wellness program.

In the event of any breach of this Agreement by any Client Affiliate, Fitbit shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement for breach in accordance with the provisions hereof, and to pursue all remedies to which Fitbit is entitled as a result of such breach, as if Client was the party in breach.

 

2.2 Minimum Order Quantity and Ordering Window. To be eligible to order any Products under this Agreement, you agree to purchase the Minimum Order Quantity during each Ordering Window (each as defined on the Key Terms Schedule). In addition to orders made by you, purchases of Products by End Users through the Company Storefront shall count towards the Minimum Order Quantity. If the total number of Products purchased by you and End Users during the applicable Ordering Window is less than the Minimum Order Quantity, Fitbit will invoice and you must purchase the number of Products constituting the shortfall via bulk order by the end of the then-current Term. Once you have met your Minimum Order Quantity obligations, you may purchase additional Products at your option. Failure to purchase the Minimum Order Quantity during the applicable Ordering Window shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

 

2.3 Ordering Methods. Subject to the limitations in the Territory and this Section, the following ordering methods are available to you at your request: “Bulk Orders” (via Order Form or Order Link) and Company Storefront ordering.

 

(a) Bulk Orders.

 

(i) Via Fitbit Order Form. To place bulk orders for Products under this Agreement, you shall deliver an Order Form to Fitbit. No order shall be binding until accepted in writing by Fitbit. Any additional or different terms provided on any Client purchase order accompanying the Order Form shall have no force or effect. Bulk order quantities are subject to Fitbit’s then-current order process and the terms set forth in the Key Terms Schedule.

 

(ii) Via Order Link. At your request, we may provide a custom URL (“Order Link”) for the purpose of placing bulk orders via an online ordering cart. Order Link purchase availability is subject to Product stock limitations.

 

(iii) Via Distributor. If Bulk Orders via Fitbit are unavailable in the Territory, subject to Fitbit’s approval qualifying Bulk Order purchases of Products through Distributor during the Term of this Agreement shall apply towards the Minimum Order Quantity set forth in this Agreement. Any Bulk Order purchase of Products through Distributor is subject to Distributor’s payment and shipping terms.

 

(iv) Prior Orders. If you have purchased Products from Fitbit through Bulk Order(s) prior to execution of this Agreement (each, a “Prior Order”), the parties may agree to include a Prior Order placed up to twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date under this Agreement upon Fitbit’s written confirmation of the serial numbers or device IDs of the units of Products to be included hereunder (“Confirmed Products”). Upon such written confirmation, Confirmed Products shall be deemed to be Products purchased under this Agreement, counting towards any applicable Minimum Order Quantity obligations for the initial Ordering Window, and the terms of this Agreement shall supersede and replace any other terms of sale or terms of purchase under which such Prior Order was made to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency.

 

(b) Company Storefront Orders. At your request Fitbit will create a Company Storefront (if available In the Territory) to allow End Users to purchase subsidized Products directly from Fitbit. Company Storefront implementation requires a minimum lead time of four (4) weeks from your request. All Company Storefront purchases must be validated by either (a) unique Client issued ID (8-20 digit alphanumeric characters) or (b) by End User using a validated corporate email domain of Client. All purchases by End Users through the Company Storefront are directly with Fitbit and shall be subject to Fitbit’s standard applicable privacy policy and customer purchase and delivery terms. Fitbit will make the Company Storefront available during the Ordering Window and Fitbit may elect in its sole discretion to continue to make the Company Storefront available for a mutually agreed period of time after the Ordering Window if requested.

 

2.4 Price.

 

(a) Price to Client. For all direct orders from you to Fitbit, Fitbit shall sell the Products to you at the prices set forth on the Key Terms Schedule unless otherwise specified in an Order Form.

 

(b) Price to End Users and Subsidy Requirement. You shall be solely responsible for setting the price you charge to End Users for Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to the rights granted in Section 2.1, you must subsidize the price you charge to each End User for such Product. The subsidy you provide shall be no less than 25% of the lowest priced Product offered to your employees, members or participants (“Subsidy Amount”). The Subsidy Amount shall be applied to all Products offered regardless of order method.

 

(c) Company Storefront Subsidy True-Up. Fitbit shall invoice you monthly for, and you agree to pay, the Subsidy Amount for Products purchased via the Company Storefront (“Subsidy True-Up”).

 

2.5 Delivery. Bulk Orders for Products will be marked for shipment to up to one (1) address per order. You shall designate the shipping address in the Order Form. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form, shipment will be FOB Fitbit’s shipping point, with you responsible for all shipping costs, including any insurance or additional shipping expenses that may be incurred as a result of your specific instructions.

 

2.6 No Commitment to Manufacture. Fitbit does not represent that it will continue to manufacture any particular Product (or volume of Products) indefinitely or even for any specific period. Fitbit specifically reserves the right, upon at least twenty (20) days prior notice to you (unless the circumstances require shorter or no notice) to remove any Product from the market, and/or to cease manufacturing or supporting any Product.

3. Your Obligations

 

3.1 Marketing. You shall promote and market the Products consistent with your standard marketing plans and strategies using the promotional materials supplied by Fitbit. All marketing and promotional materials developed by you will be subject to initial approval by Fitbit; provided, however, that you shall continue to be responsible for such materials and the content contained therein. Approval by Fitbit of your marketing materials shall be deemed to apply to all repeat uses of such marketing or promotional material by you in the same manner as initially approved by Fitbit unless otherwise notified by Fitbit. In marketing the Products to End Users, you shall disclose that Product pricing reflects a subsidy provided by you; you shall not imply that the subsidized price reflects a discount from Fitbit.

 

3.2 Representations. You shall not make any representations, guarantees or warranties of any type with respect to the specifications, features, capabilities or otherwise concerning the Products or Fitbit’s services which are in addition to or inconsistent with those set forth in the product descriptions or promotional materials delivered by Fitbit to you hereunder. In no event shall you make any representation, warranty or guarantee by or on behalf of Fitbit. You shall represent Fitbit and its Products in a positive and professional manner at all times.

 

3.3 Technical Proficiency. In addition to technical information related to the Products and included in the Program Materials, Fitbit may, from time to time, provide its resellers and other clients with access to webinars or in-person informational sessions designed to provide sales and technical training. You will be responsible for utilizing such training and materials in order to ensure that its staff has a reasonable level of technical proficiency with respect to the Products.

 

3.4 Business Practices. You agree not to engage in any deceptive, misleading, illegal or unethical practices that may be detrimental to Fitbit or its Products and agree to comply with all applicable local laws and regulations (including, without limitation, all federal and state laws, the Privacy Laws, employment laws and regulations, import and export compliance laws and regulations, and advertising and marketing regulations) in connection with your performance under this Agreement.

Upon request, you shall provide Fitbit with certificates of insurance or evidence of coverage before commencing performance under this Agreement.

 

3.6 Payment. If you have been approved for credit by Fitbit, payments shall be made in the currency identified on the Order Form within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the applicable invoice from Fitbit. If you have not been approved for credit by Fitbit, all orders must be pre-paid. Any late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses incurred by Fitbit in collecting such delinquent amounts. All payments are non-refundable unless expressly set forth herein. Fitbit reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change your credit terms and/or require cash in advance payment for shipment should you fail to pay invoices in a timely manner. Non-payment by End Users shall not relieve you of your obligation to pay fees to Fitbit. You shall be responsible for all taxes (including value added tax), withholdings, duties, shipping expenses and levies arising from your purchases under this Agreement (excluding taxes based on the net income of Fitbit).

 

3.7 Your Wellness Program. You have reviewed the best practices listed in the Wellness Community Pledge, available at https://healthsolutions.fitbit.com/wellnesspledge/. You acknowledge that these best practices are meant to provide general guidance and that you are solely responsible for establishing and maintaining the compliance of your wellness or population health program, including registering with local works councils or data protection authorities if applicable.

 

4. Our Relationship with the End User

 

4.1 General. In order to use the Products and the Online Fitbit Service, all End Users must register their Products with us and agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Even if an End User has purchased the Product directly from you, that End User will be a direct customer of ours with respect to his or her use of the Product and the Online Fitbit Service. Each End User must create his or her own online account for the Fitbit service; you shall not (and shall not allow any third party to) create Fitbit accounts on behalf of any End User.

 

4.2 Warranty and Returns. Fitbit provides its standard limited warranty (currently set forth at http://www.fitbit.com/returns) directly to End Users for all Products purchased under this Agreement and not to you. Each End User must contact Fitbit directly in the event of any warranty issues; provided, however, that Fitbit may agree to implement a bulk RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) process under special circumstances. If Fitbit determines, in its sole discretion, that a refund is necessary to satisfy a warranty claim, upon return of the defective Product: (a) for Company Storefront orders, Fitbit shall refund the purchase price paid by the End User directly to the End User and the Subsidy True-Up paid by Client directly to Client; and (b) for all other orders, Fitbit shall refund the purchase price paid by you directly to you and you shall be responsible for refunding the End User. For refunds issued by you, you shall issue any such refund within thirty (30) days of receipt of such amounts from Fitbit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fitbit may issue any refund directly to the applicable End User (and in such case you will remit to such End User the difference between the amount refunded by Fitbit and any amounts previously received from such purchase by you, if applicable). In no event will Fitbit be liable for refunds exceeding the purchase price of the defective Product paid to Fitbit. For orders placed via Distributor, Distributor’s return policies will apply.

 

4.3 Fitbit End User Support Obligations. End Users will follow the standard customer support process with email support at http://contact.fitbit.com and FAQs at http://help.fitbit.com. Your program administrator may escalate issues affecting multiple End Users directly to Fitbit by email via the contact information on the Key Terms Schedule, and Fitbit will use reasonable efforts to promptly respond to such requests.

 

4.4 U.S. Clients: HIPAA. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Fitbit, Fitbit does not intend uses of the Fitbit Group Health Offering to create obligations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended and supplemented (“HIPAA”), and makes no representations that the Fitbit Group Health Offering satisfies HIPAA requirements. If Client is (or becomes) a Covered Entity or Business Associate, as defined in HIPAA, Client will not use the Fitbit Group Health Offering for any purpose or in any manner involving Protected Health Information (as defined in HIPAA) unless Client has received prior written consent to such use from Fitbit.

Confidential Information also includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any Products, software, documentation or technical information provided by Fitbit and performance information relating to the foregoing shall be deemed Confidential Information of Fitbit without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information.

10. Indemnification.

 

10.1 Indemnification by Client. Unless prohibited by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Fitbit from and against any loss, cost, liability or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which Fitbit becomes liable arising from or relating to: (a) the issuance by you of any warranty or representation not authorised in writing by Fitbit; (b) any other act or omission by you in connection with the marketing or distribution of the Products under this Agreement or your corporate wellness/population health program; or (c) your use of End User Data.

 

10.2 Indemnification by Fitbit. Fitbit will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Client from and against any loss, cost, liability or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which Client becomes liable arising from or relating to any third party claim asserted against Client by a third party that Client’s distribution of the Products or use of the Program Management Dashboard (if applicable) in accordance with this Agreement infringes the U.S. registered patent, U.S. copyright or U.S trademark rights of such third party. If Client’s distribution of a Product and/or use of the Program Management Dashboard is (or in Fitbit’s opinion is likely to be) enjoined or if Fitbit determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, Fitbit may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Client the right to continue distributing such Product and/or use of the Program Management Dashboard, as appropriate; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate the Agreement and refund to Client the unused portion of any fees prepaid by Client for the remainder of the Term.

 

10.3 Process. Each party’s indemnification obligations are contingent upon receipt from the indemnified party of: (a) prompt notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for the indemnifying party to respond without prejudice); (b) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defence, or settlement of such claim; and (c) all reasonable necessary cooperation of the indemnified party. The indemnified party may participate in the defence and settlement of such claim with counsel at its own expense. The indemnified party shall not settle or make any admissions with respect to a claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent. The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim without the indemnified party’s consent if such settlement involves an admission of liability on the part of the indemnified party or requires the indemnified party to take or refrain from taking any action (except for settlements by Fitbit with respect to the distribution of the Products or the use or non-use of the Program Management Dashboard (if applicable)).

 

11. Independent Contractor.

 

11.1 It is the express intention of the parties that each party is an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, joint venture or client of the other party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be read as creating the relationship of employer and employee between the parties. Neither party is entitled to participate in any benefits provided by the other party, including but not limited to its pension plans, bonus, stock or similar benefits that such other party makes available for its employees. Each party is responsible for all applicable taxes on remuneration received from the other party. This Agreement is non-exclusive and shall not in any way prohibit either party from entering into like arrangements with any other party.

 

12. Corrupt Practices and Trade Compliance.

 

12.1 You represent and warrant that: (a) in connection with this Agreement, you have not and will not make any payments or gifts or any offers or promises of payments or gifts of any kind, directly or indirectly, (i) to any official of any government (foreign or domestic) or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or to any person (other than an End User as defined herein) to induce or reward the person in connection with the performance of any act or failure to act or (ii) if such payment, gift, offer or promise would constitute extortion, kickbacks or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining business or any commercial advantage or acquiescence thereto; and (b) you will comply in all respects with the all applicable domestic or foreign laws (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as applicable), laws, statutes, regulations, and codes relating to anti-bribery and/or anti-corruption in any jurisdiction in which you are incorporated, carry on business or have your billing address. Client agrees that no End User is the target of any Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Sanctions Law; or is located in or a resident of a country or territory that is, or whose government currently is, the target of countrywide sanctions imposed by OFAC.

 

13. U.S. Government End-Users.

 

13.1 Elements of the Products contain or are provided with commercial computer software. If the user or licensee of the Products is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Products, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by a license agreement or by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defence Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 for military purposes.
