Last Modified: September 1, 2023

Welcome to the HubSpot Template Provider Agreement! These terms (“Agreement”) apply to Template Providers that provide templates, themes, modules or other content for use with the HubSpot products (hereinafter “Templates”) for our Template Marketplace. If you are a Service Provider, you may have to comply with other requirements or Agreements as we make them available to you and as required by the rules of the HubSpot program you may participate in.

1. Company Acceptance

Once you complete an application to list your Service Offering on our Marketplace, we will review your application and let you know whether your Service Offering has been accepted or not to list on our Marketplace.  Before we accept an application, we may reach out to review your Service Offering with you. We may require that you complete certain requirements (besides those listed), questionnaires, assessments, or certification(s) before we accept your application. If we do not let you know that you are accepted to list your Service Offering on our Marketplace within sixty (60) days from your application, your application is considered to be rejected.  By agreeing to these terms, you also agree to and accept our Developer Terms and Developer Policy (together our “Platform Policy”).

2. Service Offerings 

a. Rights to Service Offerings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you hereby grant to us a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to internally use or access the Service Offerings and content included on your Marketplace listing page, for (i) evaluating, configuring, and testing the Service Offering and certifying interoperability  between the Service Offerings and HubSpot Products, (ii) providing maintenance support to our Customers, and (iii) for marketing purposes.  Unless you and we otherwise agree in writing, in no event will we: (a) modify, enhance, translate, supplement, create derivative works from reverse engineer, reverse compile or otherwise reduce the Service Offerings to human readable form, (b) sell, lease, transfer or sublicense the Service Offerings to any third party, (c) disclose or otherwise provide all or any portion of the Service Offerings to any unauthorized third party, or (d) use the Service Offerings or any component thereof for commercial purposes.  Title to and ownership of the Service Offerings, and all patents, copyrights and property rights applicable thereto, shall at all times remain solely and exclusively with you.

b. Testing. We may request from you, from time to time, additional information or files related to your Service Offering or listing page to allow us to conduct a review of your Service Offering.  We may review such information or files regarding your Service Offerings to determine, in our good faith discretion, whether there is sufficient interoperability between the Service Offerings and the HubSpot Products, and whether the Service Offerings meet our security and quality standards as described in the Platform Policy. We make suggestions and/or recommendations to you to modify the Service Offerings to help assure interoperability, security, and/or quality. You will either implement such suggestions and/or recommendations or terminate your listing in the Marketplace.

Additionally, we may use third party tools or applications to test your Service Offerings or any other public facing assets (including, but not limited to, your listing page, website and product pages). We may require you to make modifications or corrections to your Service Offerings or public facing assets based on the results of these tests. Failure to make corrections or modifications may result in your termination or removal from the Marketplace and we reserve the right to deny your application or remove your Service Offerings from being listed in the Marketplace.

c. Questionnaires. We may provide you, at any time, with questionnaires, assessments, or surveys regarding you and your Service Offerings. Failure to respond or complete questionnaires, assessments, or surveys may result in your termination or removal from our Marketplace. Based on your answers, we may make suggestions and/or recommendations to you to modify your Service Offering and/or public facing assets (including, but not limited to, your listing page, website and product pages) and you will either implement such modifications and/or corrections or be removed from the Marketplace.

d. Modifications. We reserve the right to modify, cancel, and/or charge for the HubSpot Products, and you reserve the right to modify, cancel, and/or charge for the Service Offering, as each party sees fit, including new releases or updates (each, a "Modification").

If any Modification impacts compliance with our Platform Policy or interoperability between one of the Service Offerings and the HubSpot Products, we may by written notice to you (the “Resubmission Notice”): (i) request another full demonstration of the Service Offering interoperating with the HubSpot Products as described above, (ii) make reasonable modifications and/or corrections to you in the event Modifications to the Service Offering are required in an effort to ensure interoperability between the Service Offering and the HubSpot Products, and (iii) provided you choose to support the interoperability certification status of theService Offering, you agree, within 30 days after the Resubmission Notice, to resubmit the Service Offering, with any Modifications and, if applicable, an updated interoperability guide, to us for review of your recertification.  If the Service Offering fails to pass the interoperability testing within 30 days after the Resubmission Notice, Service Offering and HubSpot Product versions prior to the Modifications and your Service Offering may be removed from the Marketplace.

e. Compliance with Policies. You agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the Platform Policy and the Program Policies at all times, which are incorporated herein by reference. We may change the Program Policies from time to time by updating our website.

We expect Template Providers to use good judgment in all decisions and interactions with customers, HubSpot employees, and other Service Providers  and to act in good faith.
