      5.	PROGRAM MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES
      5.1.	Qualifications. In addition to the responsibilities set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Program Member agrees to comply with the policies and criteria (corresponding to its assigned partner level) established by Malwarebytes for the Techbench Program, as set forth at Malwarebytes webpage located at: https://www.malwarebytes.com/techbench/ . Malwarebytes may change such policies and criteria from time to time as it sees fit. It shall be the sole responsibility of Program Member to check this site for updates and to follow and abide by all requirements.
      
      5.2.	Sales Efforts. Program Member shall use its diligent efforts to: (i) market, advertise, and otherwise promote and sell the Products in the Territory, (ii) unless prohibited by law, prevent the export of the Products from the Territory for resale outside the Territory, (iii) perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) further preserve the goodwill and reputation of Malwarebytes and the Products. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Program Member is solely responsible to sell any Products that it purchases from Malwarebytes, and Malwarebytes has no responsibility to assist with that sale and in no way assumes any responsibility to assist with that sale or to ensure any sale is consummated. Program Member is free to set the prices it charges in its discretion, provided it is responsible to ensure full compliance with all laws.
      
      5.3.	Not for Resale. Not for resale Product will only be used for Program Members internal demonstration. Such Products shall not be offered for resale unless otherwise agreed to in writing signed by an authorized representative of Malwarebytes.
      
      5.4.	Internet Auction and Marketplace Sales Restriction. Program Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that, due to the complexity of Malwarebytes’s Products, online auction or third-party marketplace sales do not provide adequate presales support. Therefore, Program Member hereby agrees and warrants that it shall not sell or otherwise make available Products via any online auction websites or third-party marketplaces on the world wide web (for example but not limited to e-Bay or Amazon), service, or similar bidding medium or marketplace throughout the duration of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, where a corporate end user utilizes the Internet for an online based tender bidding-system this provision shall not apply. In addition, Program Member acknowledges and agrees
      
      that because inadequate presales support reflects poorly upon and tarnishes the Malwarebytes name a breach of this Section 5.4 is a material breach of this Agreement.
      
      5.5.	Duty to Pass Down Notice and Terms. Program Member is responsible to ensure that it obtains and documents the date of the initial shipment from Malwarebytes from the Authorized Distributor at the time of purchasing Product. In addition, prior to re-selling a Product, the Program Member must clearly explain to any End User and clearly document that it has explained, the following: (i) the date of the initial shipment from Malwarebytes, and (ii) that the term for all warranties will be governed by Malwarebytes’s policies, as currently stated at https://www.malwarebytes.com/eula/ or such other website or as otherwise designated by Malwarebytes. Program Member is responsible to contractually bind End Users to the terms stated in this Section, and Program Member agrees to indemnify Malwarebytes for any failure to comply with this provision.
      
      5.6.	Failure to Comply with this Section. If a Program Member sells a Product with a warranty, for which the warranty period starts prior to registration, or if it fails to comply with the aforementioned passdown requirements, it shall be subject to remedial action, including but not limited to, the cost of a warranty extension, and/or termination of its partner status. Both parties to this Agreement agree that failure to comply with this Section shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
      
      5.7.	End User License Agreement, Warranties. Program Member may distribute the Products only with all warranties, disclaimers, license agreements, including Malwarebytes’s then-current End User License Agreement, or EULA, and Documentation as shipped from Malwarebytes, and Program Member is responsible to ensure all End Users are provided such End User License Agreement and Documentation and are subject to such terms and agreements. Program Member shall take all steps reasonably requested by Malwarebytes to inform End Users of all applicable restrictions and limitations regarding the use of Products. Any guaranties, warranties, promises or commitments given or made by the Program Member which go beyond the Malwarebytes standard license terms provided by Malwarebytes with the Product are not binding for Malwarebytes and are at the sole responsibility of Program Member, and Program Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless in full Malwarebytes related to any such guaranties, warranties, promise or commitments.
      
      5.8.	Maintenance of Qualified Individuals. Program Member hereby represents and warrants it possesses the experience, skills and resources required to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Program Member shall, at its expense, retain adequate numbers of qualified individuals to meet the resource requirements as established in the Techbench Program Guidelines.
      
      5.9.	Records and Reports; Audit Rights.

Program Member shall promptly provide Malwarebytes full access to any records requested by Malwarebytes.
      
      5.10.	Indemnification by Program Member. Program Member shall indemnify and hold Malwarebytes harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages or judgments, including all reasonable legal fees and expenses related thereto that arise from or are related to: (i) Program Member’s modification, use or distribution of the Product not in strict accordance with this Agreement and the Malwarebytes Techbench Program guidelines; (ii) any misrepresentation or any breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement of Program Member; (iii) any infringement or misappropriation of any of Malwarebytes’s intellectual property rights, including, among others, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets, or (iv) any action against Malwarebytes for injuries or damage to persons or property caused or claimed to have been caused by the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Program Member personnel while in the course of performing work under this Agreement.

      under this Section are contingent upon Malwarebytes: (a) giving prompt written notice to Program Member of any such claim; (b) allowing Program Member to control the defense and any related settlement of any such claim; and
