Updated March 11, 2023

 

Pica8, Inc.’s deal registration program for resale and distribution partners (“Partners”) is designed to incent Partners with extra discounts for their support of end user customers, often through extended sales cycles.

An opportunity is eligible for deal registration if the Partner and the opportunity meet all of the criteria described below, as determined by Pica8 in its sole discretion.

Deal Registration Benefits

  • Pre-sales support from Pica8 staff
  • Additional discounts off suggested retail price on software licenses (subscription and perpetual), maintenance & support services and professional services
  • Exclusive deal registration for that specific opportunity (i.e., registration attempts from other Partners for the same deal will not be accepted)
  • Extended deal registration period available upon approval

 

Deal Registration Process and Requirements

  • The Partner must submit the deal for review by completing all fields in the deal registration form provided. (The registration is for a single business opportunity, at either the company or sub- division level(s). To maximize deal registration discounts, enter the contact data for all channel partners involved with the opportunity.)
  • A deal registration application notification email will be sent immediately after submission of the form. The notification will include an alpha numeric “Deal Reg ID” tracking identifier.
  • If an opportunity is eligible for deal registration, the first Partner to submit an application that meets all of the opportunity and Partner criteria for deal registration, as determined by Pica8 in its sole discretion, will receive the approved deal registration for that deal.
  • If deal registration is approved, Pica8 will notify the Partner by e-mail. within three business days.
  • If deal registration is declined, Pica8 will notify the Partner by e-mail and will include the reason(s) for such decision.
  • Deal registration is valid for 120 days after approval. To receive the applicable discount for an approved deal registration, the Reseller must (1) submit a purchase order for the registered deal within 120 days from the date of deal registration approval and (2) include the Deal Reg ID in the purchase order for the deal.
  • The 120-day deadline to submit a purchase order for a registered deal may be extended by an additional period of up to 120 days, at Pica8’s sole discretion. The Partner must request an extension before the expiration of the 120-day period.
  • The discount(s) to be received for approved deal registration is set forth in the Partner’s agreement with Pica8.
  • Deal registration discounts cannot be combined with other programs and do not stack with other Pica8 discounts, except for fulfillment discounts (if any) set forth in Partner’s agreement with Pica8.
