Reseller Relationship

Reseller Portal Website for License Generation
Resellers will be provided with a login for a website owned and managed by SimpleHelp which allows them to generate full licenses to pass on to their buyers. This website should be used only if the Reseller made a sale to a customer. It should not be used for the purposes of providing trials to customers. Any license generated via the website will be considered a sale by that Reseller of the generated license and SimpleHelp Ltd must be paid for in full for that license. SimpleHelp may limit the size of licenses that a Reseller may generate via this website. If a Reseller wishes to make a sale larger than the website limit they must contact SimpleHelp directly to clarify pricing (if a price is not listed on the SimpleHelp website) and obtain a license.
Resellers are grouped using a tiered system, a resellers tier is exclusively determined by SimpleHelp Ltd and can be changed at any time but in general the following requirements apply:
- Tier 0 resellers receive no discount on licenses they create and sell.
- Tier 1 resellers will receive a 15% discount on the list price of any non-renewal license they create and sell.
- Tier 2 resellers will receive a 20% discount on the list price of any non-renewal license they create and sell and a 15% discount on any renewal license they create and sell.
- Anyone may apply to SimpleHelp to become a Tier 0 reseller.
- In order to become a Tier 1 reseller a Tier 0 reseller must sell at least one full license within the past 12 months.
- In order to become a Tier 2 reseller a Tier 1 reseller must sell at least 3 licenses totalling $3500 USD or more within the past 12 months.
- Any license sold at a given tier will be treated as that same tier for future upgrades
Resellers may not use the reseller web portal to create discounted licenses for their own use.
All taxes, charges and levies are to be handled by the Reseller during the sale and may not be deducted from the license cost to be remitted to SimpleHelp Ltd.
Should a customer and/or potential customer of a Reseller make any purchase from SimpleHelp directly via our website or via any other means SimpleHelp is not responsible for refunding the Reseller any part of the license cost, nor is SimpleHelp responsible for determining if the customer has had any contact with or purchased from a Reseller previously.
Resellers may not transfer their role in this agreement to any other organisation. Resellers must not divulge the address or login credentials of the Resellers Website Portal. Resellers must ensure that any employee with access to the Resellers Website Portal must agree to the terms of this agreement.
