Each appointment to a Partner Type Program shall be subject to the applicable Partner Type Terms as specified in Partner Handbook. 

2.2 Payments to Asana.  Channel Partner will pay all fees and charges invoiced by Asana within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. If Channel Partner disputes any part of an invoice in good faith, Channel Partner will pay the undisputed part and provide Asana with notice and detail of the dispute no later than the invoice due date. Amounts due are payable in the currency set forth in the applicable invoice and are non-cancelable and non-refundable unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. Channel Partner is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing information to Asana, including the purchase order number at the time of purchase if Channel Partner requires one.

Except for those taxes based on Asana’s net income, Channel Partner will be responsible for all applicable taxes in connection with this Agreement including, but not limited to, sales, use, excise, value-added, goods and services, consumption, and other similar taxes or duties. If any withholding is required by law, or if Customer at its own discretion applies withholding tax to the fees, Channel Partner will pay Asana any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Asana receives, after any such withholding, equals the amount Asana would have received if no withholding had been applied. Upon request, Channel Partner will provide documentation showing that the withheld amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority. Asana’s failure to charge appropriate tax due to incomplete or incorrect information provided by Channel Partner will not relieve Channel Partner of its obligations under this Section. If Channel Partner or a Customer is exempt from certain taxes, Channel Partner will provide proof of such exemption to Asana without undue delay upon execution of the applicable Order Form.

2.4 Payments to Channel Partner.  If applicable to the Partner Type Program(s) indicated above or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties, Asana agrees to pay Channel Partner fees for its services in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordering document.

Asana shall pay all undisputed amounts within thirty (30) days of Asana’s receipt of a complete and correct invoice.

3. ACCESS TO THE ASANA SERVICE.  

3.1 Customer Access.  Customer’s access to and use of the Asana Service or other Asana offerings as agreed upon in an executed Order Form is subject to Asana’s Subscriber Terms.  If Channel Partner re-sells Asana Subscriptions as part of its Partner Type Program, and such Customer does not currently have a paid Subscription to the Asana Service at the time of Channel Partner’s Order Form, then Channel Partner is responsible for obtaining the Customer Acknowledgement Form from Customer upon or before submitting an Order Form to Asana. Asana is not obligated to provision Subscriptions to a Customer or issue an invoice to Channel Partner for an otherwise valid Order Form in the event that Channel Partner fails to provide such Customer Acknowledgment Form. For clarity, Channel Partner has no authority to and shall not alter, remove, or negotiate the Subscriber Terms with Customers.

3.1.1. Channel Partner may submit either of the following as an acceptable Customer Acknowledgment Form: (a) the Resale Order available via submission here and as updated by Asana from time to time; or (b) a redacted ordering document between Customer and Channel Partner, provided that the latter includes reference to the Subscriber Terms and evidence of Customer’s acceptance of such Subscriber Terms.

As a requirement of the Partner Program, the Channel Partner agrees to comply with the Asana Brand Guidelines (https://asana.com/brand) whenever the Channel Partner uses the Asana Materials or the Asana Brand Assets, as that term is defined in the Asana Brand Guidelines. Asana may immediately suspend or terminate Channel Partner’s participation in the Partner Program for Channel Partner’s failure to adhere to the Asana Brand Guidelines. All usage of the Asana Brand Assets by Channel Partner shall inure to Asana’s benefit. Upon Asana’s request from time to time, Channel Partner agrees to provide Asana with copies of materials bearing the Asana Brand Assets so that Asana can verify the quality of the materials. The Channel Partner shall suspend use of the Asana Brand Assets if Asana deems, in its sole discretion,  such quality inferior to Asana’s standards until such time as the Channel Partner has taken the steps required by Asana to solve the quality deficiencies. The Channel Partner shall not register or attempt to register any Asana Brand Assets or any mark confusingly similar thereto. The Channel Partner shall not assert any claim to the Asana Brand Assets (or any confusingly similar mark) or any goodwill associated therewith. The Channel Partner shall execute such documents as Asana may request to record or effectuate Asana’s ownership of the Asana Brand Assets and related goodwill.

4.4 Ownership and Use of the Channel Partner’s Trademarks.  As between the parties, the Channel Partner and its licensors and suppliers own and will retain all title and rights to the Channel Partner’s name and logos (“Channel Partner Marks”), including all related intellectual property rights.
