      7.3 海關、出口管制以及制裁法規遵循


      A. Dell Technologies 接受任何產品或服務之任何訂單的前提取決於貴方是否遵守本條規定。若向最終使用者銷售產品與服務,貴方應要求最終使用者同意遵守至少與本 7.3 小節中所含條款同樣嚴格的條款。

      L. 在本條款適用的範圍內,除非貴方已經獲得 Dell Technologies (銷售副總裁或更高層級) 的書面核准,同時已與 Dell Technologies 簽署工廠交貨附約並且遵守該附約規定,否則貴方無權根據工廠交貨條款向協議區域進口或從協議區域出口產品與服務。


      7.4 產品/服務特定條款。貴方暸解並同意,貴方在購買供轉售的產品與服務 (包括第三方品牌產品)(請見 www.dell.com/offeringspecificterms) 時,需遵守 www.dell.com/offeringspecificterms 所載的特定其他條款 (下稱「產品/服務特定條款」)。在銷售或提供任何此類產品時,貴方應通知並要求最終使用者 (同時要求貴方的經銷商 (如有) 通知並要求最終使用者) 同意適用的產品/服務特定條款;並且在收到 Dell Technologies 的要求後,貴方應提供相應的書面證據。


      8. 標誌與商標


      8.1 貴方同意,與 Dell Inc.、Dell 關聯公司或產品或服務相關的商標、服務商標、商號或公司名稱、產品和服務標識、網際網路網域/網際網路位址、標誌、圖案設計和其他符號及圖案 (下稱「Dell 商標」) 始終為 Dell Inc. 的財產。未經 Dell Inc. 事先書面許可,貴方不得註冊或使用包含任何 Dell 商標或是與任何 Dell 商標類似而易造成混淆的任何網域名稱、企業名稱、電子郵件地址、社交媒體使用者名稱或其他身分名稱或來源名稱,並且貴方應根據 Dell Inc. 的要求,自費將任何此類名稱轉讓給 Dell Inc.。貴方不得在自身的產品名稱、服務名稱或任何其他類似名稱中加入 Dell 商標。未經 Dell 事先書面許可,貴方不得在搜尋引擎廣告中使用 Dell 商標,無論是作為關鍵字或出現在搜尋引擎上的廣告中皆不例外,但若適用法律禁止,則此類使用限制將不適用。特此說明,在歐洲經濟區 (EEA)、瑞士、聖馬利諾、梵蒂岡、澳大利亞和日本,未經 Dell 事先書面許可,貴方也可進行關鍵字競價;但若貴方要求 Dell Technologies 資助關鍵字競價活動,Dell Technologies 可就此訂立其他條款與條件。貴方對 Dell 商標的使用應以 Dell Inc. 為唯一受益人。貴方確認,Dell Technologies 向貴方提供之產品或服務的影像與圖案設計版權歸 Dell Inc. 或 Dell 關聯公司所有或由其授權,並且貴方不得變更這些影像或圖案設計,亦不得在將此類影像和圖案設計提供給貴方的範圍之外使用它們。


      8.2 方案標誌。貴方對本方案標誌的使用係由 Dell Technologies「合作夥伴標誌與商標使用條款」 (請見此處) 中的條款與條件決定,並且需確實遵守這些條款與條件。


      9. 免責聲明。對於本方案,DELL TECHNOLOGIES 不作任何明示或默示的保證,並明確否認與本方案相關的所有保證和條件 (包括有關本方案或在本方案下提供的所有資訊、工具和其他資料),包括對適銷性、特定用途適用性或不侵權的任何默示保證,以及因法規、法律運作、交易或履約過程或行業慣例產生的任何保證。貴方瞭解,本方案不保證達成任何銷售額或產生利潤。所有 DELL TECHNOLOGIES 資訊均係依「現況」提供。


      10. 賠償。在法律允許的最大範圍內,對於因貴方違反適用法律、法規遵循條款、第 4 節 (「資訊」) 或 Dell Technologies《合作夥伴行為準則》而引起的任何索賠、要求、訴因、債務或責任 (包括合理的律師費和法律費用、開支和訴訟費),貴方應向 Dell Technologies、Dell 關聯公司及其各自的繼承人和受讓人進行賠償、辯護並使其免受損害。


      11. 法律責任限制。貴方確認,貴方完全出於自願參與本方案,且 DELL TECHNOLOGIES 未要求將貴方參與本方案作為自 DELL TECHNOLOGIES 購買產品或服務的前提條件。


      11.1 對於任何衍生性、特殊性、懲罰性、信賴、懲戒性、隨附性或間接損失或損害,以及任何營業虧損、收入或利潤損失,或是資料或軟體遺失或損壞,DELL TECHNOLOGIES 概不負責。


      11.2 在所有情況下,DELL TECHNOLOGIES 對本方案、本協議或其終止所產生、由之引起或與之相關的全部索賠承擔的賠償責任總額不得超過 $500.00 美元。


      11.3 上述責任限制適用於所有損害索賠,不論是基於侵權、合約還是其他理論提出索賠要求,亦不論 DELL TECHNOLOGIES 對上述損害的可能性是否知情或應當知情。儘管本協議含有其他規定,本條制定之救濟措施均應適用,即使救濟措施喪失其基本目的亦然。


      12. 終止


      12.1 終止。貴方可透過書面方式通知 Dell Technologies 以隨時退出本方案。出於以下原因,Dell Technologies 可在不事先書面通知的情況下,全部或部分暫停或終止貴方參與本方案:(a) 貴方違反本協議或與貴方參與本方案相關的任何其他協議,或 (b) Dell Technologies 判定貴方有損害本方案完整性的任何企圖。此外,Dell Technologies 可以自行決定,在提前十 (10) 天通知合作夥伴帳戶管理員或貴方提供的與貴方參與本方案相關的其他聯絡人後,針對所有參與者或僅針對貴方全部或部分終止本協議或本方案,而無需提供任何理由。


      12.2 終止的效力。協議終止後,本協議授予貴方的授權和權利將完全終止,貴方應停止使用資訊和合作夥伴入口網站,並立即將貴方或貴方員工所持資訊的所有有形副本歸還給 Dell Technologies,所需費用自行負擔。本第 12 節 (終止) 中的任何規定均不限制 Dell Technologies 尋求其他法律救濟的權利,包括直接的法院或司法救濟。對於依性質在協議終止後仍具效力的所有規定,本協議終止後,這些規定應繼續有效。


      12.3 合作夥伴入口網站存取權限的終止。Dell Technologies 有權自行終止或中止貴方或貴方任何員工對資訊或合作夥伴入口網站的存取權限。

      13.1 轉讓。未經 Dell Technologies 明確書面同意,貴方不得 (不論自願還是非自願) 不得轉讓或讓渡本協議或貴方在本方案或協議下的任何權利,亦不得將貴方的任何義務委託給任何第三方,無論是透過合併、整合、解散、法律運作還是任何其他方式,皆不例外。Dell Technologies 得撤銷違反前述規定之任何聲稱的轉讓、讓渡或委託。若 Dell Technologies 同意某項轉讓、讓渡或委託,本協議 (包括權利與義務) 將以貴方的權益繼承人 (透過合併、收購或其他方式) 和貴方准許的受讓人為受益人,並對其產生約束力。


      13.2 獨立訂約人。貴方與 Dell Technologies 皆為獨立訂約人,無權約束彼此。本協議或貴方參與本方案皆不得視為建立合作關係、代理、合資企業、連鎖企業或其他類似安排。任何一方皆不得代表另一方作出任何陳述或保證。任何一方均不是,亦不得聲稱是另一方的法定代表人、加盟連鎖商、員工、代理人或代表。


      13.3 爭議解決。作為提起任何訴訟的先決條件,貴方與 Dell Technologies 應嘗試透過與具有充分授權能夠解決爭議的人員協商,或透過雙方同意的調解人進行調解,而非透過訴訟方式,來解決因本方案或本協議引起、由其導致或與其相關的針對 Dell Technologies 或 Dell 關聯公司的任何索賠、糾紛或爭議 (下稱「爭議」)。任何協商或調解的存在或結果,皆應視為機密。儘管相關爭議的實質問題將根據本第 13 節 (其他) 予以解決,但任一方都有權向具司法管轄權的法院申請臨時限制令、臨時禁制令或其他衡平救濟,以維持現狀、防止發生無法彌補的損害、避免任何適用的時效期限到期,或保持相對於其他債權人的優勢地位。若雙方無法在向另一方傳送爭議通知的三十 (30) 天內 (或雙方同意的其他時間) 解決爭議,則可自由尋求普通法或衡平法提供的所有救濟。若出現任何爭議 (Dell Technologies 向貴方收取未繳款項以外的爭議),各方需自行承擔律師費和相關費用,且根據《Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code》(德州民法實務與救濟法) 第 § 38.001 節規定,雙方明確放棄任何有關律師費的法定權利。


      13.4 不可抗力。若因超出 Dell Technologies 合理控制範圍的情況而導致在任一期間延遲履行義務或無法履行義務,Dell Technologies 概不負責。


      13.5 準據法。本協議以及因本方案或本協議引起、由其導致或與其相關的任何爭議皆依據貴方與 Dell Technologies 簽訂的最新通路合作夥伴採購協議中所載的法律予以解決,同時不考慮其法律衝突規定。《聯合國國際貨物買賣契約公約》並不適用。在法律許可的範圍內,除非雙方在單獨協議中另有約定,否則在發生任何爭議時,台灣台北地方法院將擁有專屬管轄權。Dell Technologies 及貴方皆無權加入或支持其他合作夥伴或客戶提出的索賠或針對其他合作夥伴或客戶提出的索賠,亦不得以代表人訴訟或集體訴訟的形式,或以私人檢察長的身分提起任何索賠。


      13.6 修改。Dell Technologies 保留隨時修改本方案 (包括資格要求)、方案權益 (包括任何折扣、獎勵和定價) 以及本協議 (包括其中引用的所有文件、條款與條件) 的權利,恕不事先通知。貴方繼續參與本方案將構成貴方以具法律效力的方式接受這些修改,且是經考量後同意此類修改。


      13.7 可分割性。若本協議的任何部分被宣告或認定為非法、無效或不可執行,則應將其作廢或在使其合法、有效和可執行的必要範圍內對該部分進行修改,同時在最大範圍內保留雙方的原始意圖。本協議的其餘部分仍然具有充分效力,不受影響。


      13.8 放棄權利。Dell Technologies 未能執行本協議的任何條款不構成放棄未來執行該條款或本協議任何其他條款的權利。除非採用書面形式並由 Dell Technologies 授權代表簽署,否則對 Dell Technologies 不利的棄權均屬無效。


      13.9 引用。未經 Dell Technologies 事先書面核准,貴方不得直接或間接發行或發佈以任何方式與本協議、貴方參與本方案或貴方與 Dell Technologies 的關係相關的任何書面宣傳、行銷資料、新聞稿或其他公告。貴方根據第 8.2 小節 (方案標誌) 的條款使用該節許可的方案標誌不需要事先取得 Dell Technologies 的書面核准。


      13.10 完整協議。本協議 (包括一般條款、適用的合作夥伴特定條款以及本協議中引用的所有文件、條款與條件 (可能會進行修改)) 構成合作夥伴與 Dell Technologies 之間就本方案 (包括子方案、回饋金、獎勵及行銷方案) 達成的完整協議。合作夥伴明確放棄依賴任何未在本協議中體現的 Dell Technologies 聲明或陳述,或 Dell Technologies 先前的行為。


      13.11 標題、解釋和語言。本協議中使用的節標題和小節標題僅為方便與引用而編寫,在解讀或解釋本協議時不應納入考量。本協議中提及的所有「節」和「小節」均應視為指代本協議的各節。「包括」一詞及其變型不應視為限制用語,而應視為其後緊接「但不限於」用語。雙方確認,Dell Technologies 與貴方均希望本協議及與之相關的其他文件 (包括所有聲明) 已按英文草擬且僅會以英文草擬。


      14. 「同意使用」電子文件。按下「接受 Dell Technologies 合作夥伴方案協議 (APJ 版本)」按鈕,即表示貴方同意貴方與 Dell Technologies 之間在 Dell Technologies 合作夥伴方案下達成的任何及所有協議皆使用電子文件,包括但不限於「Dell Technologies 合作夥伴方案協議」、「Dell Technologies 合作夥伴方案獎勵條款與條件」(如適用),以及「MDF 條款與條件」(如適用)。對於 Dell Technologies 合作夥伴方案中,貴方按下「接受…」或「同意…」按鈕的所有電子文件,貴方同意受其約束。若貴方不同意貴方與 Dell Technologies 之間在 Dell Technologies 合作夥伴方案下達成的任何及所有協議皆使用電子文件,請勿點按「接受 Dell Technologies 合作夥伴方案協議 (APJ 版本)」按鈕。

      A. 一般規定。「最終使用者」係指購買或以其他方式獲得產品與服務以供內部最終使用 (而非用於轉售、配銷或轉授權給他人) 的任何實體。在本協議和訂購協議的約束下以及貴方遵守這些協議的前提下,貴方可以將某些產品與服務轉售給經銷商,供此類經銷商銷售給最終使用者。貴方只能將產品與服務銷售給訂購協議中指定的地理區域內的經銷商。貴方理解,並非能根據訂購協議購買所有產品與服務以供轉售。貴方有資格購買並獲准銷售和配銷的產品與服務清單會在訂購協議中列明,或會在貴方向 Dell Technologies 銷售代表提出要求後提供給貴方。Dell Technologies 保留隨時更新此產品與服務清單的權利。除非訂購協議或本協議以及適用於軟體的授權合約 (對於軟體而言) 中明確許可,否則貴方不得行銷、轉售或使用產品或服務。


      B. 限制。儘管有第 5.3(A) 小節的相關規定,貴方仍不得直接或間接將產品或服務行銷或轉售給 (a) 任何消費者、代理商、第三方銷售代理商或再製造商;以及 (b) 透過零售店面 (線上或線下)、網路商店或拍賣型網站開展行銷或轉售活動,除非 Dell Technologies 以書面形式明確授予貴方這些權利。貴方不得將產品或服務行銷或轉售給以下任何經銷商:(1) 不在貴方訂購協議中指定的地理區域內的任何經銷商,或 (2) 貴方有理由知曉其意圖將產品或服務轉售給貴方訂購協議中指定的地理區域之外的最終使用者的任何經銷商。Dell Technologies 不希望貴方將產品或服務銷售給特定經銷商 (下稱「保留的經銷商」),並會以書面形式將此經銷商清單告知貴方;收到通知後,貴方便不得將產品或服務銷售給此類保留的經銷商或應停止該等銷售活動,同時 Dell Technologies 有權自行修改該清單。Dell Technologies 不希望貴方將產品或服務轉售給特定最終使用者 (下稱「保留的最終使用者」),並會以書面形式將此最終使用者清單告知貴方;貴方不得將產品或服務銷售給貴方有理由知曉意圖將產品或服務轉售給保留的最終使用者的任何經銷商,或應停止該等銷售活動,同時 Dell Technologies有權自行修改該清單。自 Dell Technologies 發佈「保留的經銷商」清單或「保留的最終使用者」清單之日起,貴方將有十五 (15) 天緩衝期,之後便須遵守此類清單。


      5.4 經銷商法規遵循。貴方應確保貴方就轉售或配銷產品或服務而與任何一方簽訂或維持的每份協議皆應:(a) 與任何現有的經銷商協議、增值型經銷商協議,或是貴方與 Dell Technologies 簽署的、授權貴方購買 Dell 產品以進行轉售的任何基本類似的轉售協議以及法規遵循條款相同或相似;(b) 使貴方經銷商有義務將經銷商銷售條款中規定的條款傳遞給最終使用者;以及 (c) 使貴方經銷商有義務確認並同意 (並要求最終使用者同意),Dell Technologies 是經銷商與最終使用者之間所訂協議的第三方受益人,且 Dell Technologies 有權直接或透過經銷商向最終使用者強制傳遞條款。


      5.5 交易註冊與資助函。若貴方獲得參與交易註冊方案的許可,貴方在註冊時須遵守「交易註冊條款與準則 - APJ」(請見此處)。此外,貴方同意遵守 Dell Technologies 透過合作夥伴入口網站或其他方式以書面形式提供給貴方的代理商資助函協議中所載的所有條款與條件。


      5.6 優先順序。若有關貴方自 Dell Technologies 購買產品和服務或貴方銷售產品和服務的條款之間存在衝突,則優先順序為:(a) 法規遵循條款、(b) 訂購協議、(c) 代理商類型適用的合作夥伴特定條款以及 (d) 一般條款 (法規遵循條款除外)。若有關方案、資訊、獎勵、回饋金、定價 (均根據本方案規定) 或本協議之解釋的條款之間存在任何衝突,則優先順序為:(1) 法規遵循條款、(2) 代理商資助函、(3) 代理商類型適用的合作夥伴特定條款、(4) 一般條款 (法規遵循條款除外) 以及 (5) 訂購協議。
