  • Overview

    Demo Builder is a tool created by SugarCRM that enables users to create “on-demand” demos from a list of available products and show those demos to customers. Demo Builder is available for use by SugarCRM’s own personnel as well as current partners in SugarCRM’s partner programs. Partners can also submit products for possible inclusion in Demo Builder, as further detailed below.

    A. Getting Started; Creating and Showing Demos

    Top of the document

    1. Account.
    (a) Creation; Authorized Users. You are required to create and maintain a single user account to access and use Demo Builder (“Master Account”). The Master Account can have more than one user from your company logged in under that single account. However, users must be employees or contractors of your company only. You can provide a URL from the Sugar Demo Environment for a specific Demo to a Customer, but you are not authorized to allow any other third parties, including any current or prospective Customers, to access or use your Master Account or any of the Demo Materials for any other purpose.

    (b) Responsibility for Account Use. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password for your Master Account and for the compliance by all users you invite to access or use your Master Account with these Terms. You shall keep the required profile information accurate and up to date. You will notify SugarCRM in writing immediately of any unauthorized use of, or access to, all or any portion of the Demo Materials.

    (c) Active Partner Status Required. If you cease to be a SugarCRM partner in any of SugarCRM’s partner programs, your Master Account will be disabled. See Section C(5)(b) for additional details on what happens upon account termination.

    2. Use of Demo Builder and Related Terms.
    (a) Right to Access and Use Demo Builder. Subject to these Terms, SugarCRM grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free and revocable license to (i) use and access Demo Builder and Documentation to select Demo Products and create Demos (which must always include a SugarCRM Product); (ii) create Demo Back-ups, which will be stored within the Sugar Demo Environment (i.e., not downloadable); and (ii) show “live” Demos to current and prospective Customers at no charge. Demos (including Demo Back-Ups) are only be stored for a limited period of time, but no more than 90 days from date of creation (the “Storage Period”). The Storage Period for a given Demo can be extended within Demo Builder, except where a Demo Product is no longer available for use. Where a Demo Product is no longer available, then you will be notified and you must create a new Demo as further detailed in Section A(3)(b) below. SugarCRM can, however, change its storage policy at any time, without prior notice.

    If you elect to provide a URL for a Demo to a Customer, then you must include the following in that email: “Your use of this demo is subject to the terms here: http://www.sugarcrm.com/7-day-trial-license-agreement”

    You can authorize a Customer’s access and use of a Demo for more than 7 days (see here), unless that Demo or a Demo Product in that Demo is no longer available.

    (b) Use Restrictions. Except as expressly authorized in these Terms, you shall not, nor permit any third party to, directly or indirectly: (i) modify, distribute or otherwise provide all or any portion of the Demo Materials to any third party; (ii) sublicense, resell, rent, lease, distribute, commercialize or otherwise transfer rights or grant access to or use of the Demo Materials to any third party; (iii) remove or alter any copyright, trademark or proprietary notices in the Demo Materials; or (iv) reverse engineer, decompile or modify any encrypted or encoded portion of the Demo Materials. For purposes of this Section, third party includes any current or prospective Customer for whom a demo is or may be shown.

    (c) Demo Conduct. The Demos provided by you must at all times be accurate with respect to the Demo Products shown. Any data that you input or upload into a Demo must be “dummy data” only. You agree to conduct all demonstrations in a professional and respectful manner that does not disparage SugarCRM, the Demo Product Providers or the Demo Products you show to Customers. You also agree that you have no authority to, and shall not, bind SugarCRM nor any Demo Product Provider to any obligations with respect to its or their products or services, unless expressly agreed to in writing by the respective party. Further, you shall not make any representations or warranties on behalf of SugarCRM or any Demo Product Provider that are false, misleading or inconsistent with the documentation, promotional materials and other literature distributed by SugarCRM or the Demo Product Provider for each of their Demo Products.

    3. Changes to Demo Builder.
    (a) Right to Make Changes. SugarCRM reserves the right, without prior notice, to (i) change or discontinue all or any portion of Demo Builder and (ii) release new versions, add or remove Demo Products from Demo Builder, including Your Demo Products (defined in Section B(3) below), at any time.

    (b) Actions Required by You When Changes Are Made. If a particular Demo Product is no longer available for any reason (each a “Discontinued Demo Product”), then Demo Builder will be updated and you will be notified of the change either within Demo Builder and/or by email to the email address on file for the Master Account. You agree to promptly stop using any Demos containing Discontinued Demo Products and create a new Demo with authorized Demo Products as soon as commercially practicable, but within no more than 10 business days of being notified of the change.

    4. Feedback. You may, from time to time, provide suggestions, comments or other feedback to SugarCRM with respect to the Demo Materials (collectively, "Feedback"). You agree that all Feedback is and shall be given by you entirely voluntarily. SugarCRM is free to use, disclose, reproduce, license or otherwise distribute and exploit the Feedback in its discretion, without restriction or obligation of any kind or nature. These rights include the right to share the Feedback about a particular Demo Product with the Demo Products Provider of that product.

    B. Including Your Products in Demo Builder

    Top of the document

    1. Eligibility and Submission of Apps. You have no obligation to submit your products or services for use in Demo Builder. However, if you wish to do so, follow the instructions that are available on the ‘Help’ page within Demo Builder. SugarCRM will review your submissions, but has no obligation to include Your Products or Your Content. Additionally, SugarCRM can remove Your Products or Your Content at any time from Demo Builder for any reason. SugarCRM will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you in the case of a removal.

    2. Providing Your Products to SugarCRM. When you submit Your Products to SugarCRM for inclusion in Demo Builder, the following applies: (a) Your Product and Your Content must comply with SugarCRM’s then-current technical requirements and policies for products appearing in Demo Builder, as provided or made available to you by SugarCRM from time to time; (b) you must identify the Authorized User Group for Your Product; and (c) you must provide all required documentation regarding Your Product (e.g., Your Content and/or Your Marks) within Demo Builder. An example of one policy is that Your Product can’t contain any infringing material, Malicious Code or any content or file or system that provides a method to circumvent any security features of Demo Builder.

    3. Right to Use Your Products and Your Content. For each of Your Products that you submit to SugarCRM that are approved and subsequently included in Demo Builder by SugarCRM (each a “Your Demo Product”), you grant SugarCRM a non-exclusive, royalty-free, and revocable license to (a) integrate and include Your Demo Product and Your Content for that product in Demo Builder; (b) provide access to and use of Your Demo Product and Your Content for that product as part of Demo Builder (as contemplated in Section A above) to the Authorized User Group designated by you for Your Demo Product; and (c) use Your Marks to identify Your Demo Product as available for inclusion in a Demo by the applicable Authorized User Group.

    4. Maintaining Your Demo Products. You agree to provide reasonable support to SugarCRM, at no charge, with respect to each of Your Demo Products should there are any performance or other issues experienced with the use of Your Demo Product(s) in Demo Builder or a Demo.

    5. Changing Use Terms for Your Demo Products.
    (a) Changing Access Rights. You can change Your Authorized User Group for Your Demo Products by submitting that request to demosupport-partner@sugarcrm.com. Implementing these changes requires removing and re-loading and subsequently publishing Your Demo Product with the new access rights within Demo Builder. SugarCRM will process any such changes as soon as commercially practicable for SugarCRM.

    (b) Removing Your Demo Products from Demo Builder. You can request the removal of Your Demo Products from Demo Builder at any time by submitting a request to demosupport-partner@sugarcrm.com. SugarCRM will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove Your Demo Product(s) and Your Content associated with the removed product within 10 business days of its receipt of your request (each a “Removed Demo Product”). However, since SugarCRM is unable to remove Your Demo Product from a previously created Demo, you agree that Demos containing a Removed Demo Product can remain accessible and available for use by the Authorized User Groups for the duration of the applicable Storage Period for each such Demo.

    6. Partner Warranties and Disclaimers. You represent and warrant that you are the owner of Your Products, Your Content and Your Marks (collectively, “Your Property”) or have all the rights and power to authorize the use of Your Property as reflected in these Terms. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, YOU DISCLAIM ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PROPERTY AS COVERED UNDER THESE TERMS.

    7. Your Obligation for Third Party Claims. You shall, at your expense, (a) defend or settle any third party claims, actions and demands asserted against SugarCRM and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents and the Demo Product Providers (each a “Covered Party”), and (b) pay all damages finally awarded therein against a Covered Party or agreed upon in settlement by you (including other reasonable costs incurred by SugarCRM or its Affiliates, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with enforcing this Section) arising from: (i) any claim or threatened claim that the use of Your Property by a Covered Party in compliance with these Terms infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights or that you misappropriated any trade secrets in the development of the foregoing; or (ii) a claim, which true, would result in a breach by you of Section A(2)(c). SugarCRM agrees to promptly notify you of any claim for which it may seek protection for under this Section. You shall control the defense of the claim and settlement negotiations (provided that you shall not enter into any settlement that admits liability or wrongdoing on the part of a Covered Party without SugarCRM’s prior written approval). SugarCRM agrees to provide you with reasonable assistance in the defense of such claim, at your expense. SugarCRM and, if implicated in a claim, the Demo Product Provider, each have the right to participate in the proceedings at its and their own option and expense.
