THE PROGRAM AGREEMENT IS A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN PARTNER AND CROWDSTRIKE, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION (“CROWDSTRIKE”). THE DEFINITIONS FOR CAPITALIZED WORDS USED IN THESE TERMS CAN BE FOUND HERE.

1. Program Application and Agreement.

1.1. Program Acceptance. Applicants must complete the partner application, agree to the Program Agreement, meet the applicable partner qualifications and be accepted into the Program by CrowdStrike in order to participate in the Program. Acceptance into the Program and partner type designation is at CrowdStrike’s sole discretion. Provided that CrowdStrike accepts the Partner applicant into the Program and Partner applicant complies at all times with the Program Agreement, CrowdStrike grants Partner the applicable rights and licenses specified in the Program Agreement based on Partner’s designated partner type(s). The rights and licenses granted to Partner under the Program Agreement are personal to Partner and Partner may not transfer, assign or sublicense the appointment set forth in the Program Agreement except as expressly set forth in the Section entitled Assignment. Applicants that have not yet been accepted, are not accepted, or do not qualify for the Program are subject to, and agree to be bound by, the Section entitled Confidentiality herein.

1.2. Program Agreement. These Terms are a master agreement that cover all CrowdStrike partner types; provisions regarding specific types of partners or rights apply only to the extent Partner has been approved by CrowdStrike in CrowdStrike’s sole discretion to participate in the applicable aspect of the Program. The Program “welcome letter” and/or Partner Portal will specify Partner’s designation or type. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the welcome letter and the Partner Portal, the Partner Portal prevails. Partner specific terms below and the Guide set forth the rights and obligations associated with each partner type. In the event of an inconsistency between these Terms, the Guide or the Standards, the order of precedence is first, the Terms, the Standards, and then the Guide.

1.3. Updating the Program Agreement. CrowdStrike may revise the Program Agreement (including partner type specific terms) from time to time in its sole discretion. CrowdStrike will post notice of the new Terms, Guide(s), and/or Standards in the Partner Portal. Partner’s continued participation in the Program following the posting of revised Terms, Guide, and/or Standards shall be Partner’s acceptance and agreement to the new Agreement. The revised Terms, Guide and/or Standards automatically supersede the prior version. The new Terms, Guide and/or Standards apply prospectively only from the date they are posted.

1.4. Partner Affiliates. Any Partner Affiliate using or accessing any Offering hereunder, or benefitting from the Partner’s use of an Offering, will be bound by and comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement as if they are Partner. In such event, Partner shall be responsible for Partner’s Affiliates’ acts and omissions in connection with the Program, including any use of the Offerings hereunder. Alternatively, Partner Affiliates may: (i) sign a participation agreement in a form mutually acceptable to the parties, or (ii) separately apply to the Program, and in either case, agree to the Program Agreement. If accepted into the Program, each Partner Affiliate shall bear responsibility for its own acts and omissions. A Partner Affiliate may only place an order if it has been accepted into the Partner Program.

2. Partner Personnel.

2.1. Qualified Staff. All Partners shall maintain a staff of employees with a good working knowledge of the Offerings, including their use, applications, limitations, installation, maintenance and related subjects. Partner shall appoint employees of appropriate experience and skill to participate in training programs offered by CrowdStrike from time to time as mutually agreed by the parties, or as required by the Guide. Partner shall appoint one primary point of contact to coordinate the collaborative relationship with CrowdStrike’s designated point of contact. Partner shall designate a Partner Portal administrator and an authorized signer in the Partner Portal. The authorized signer is the person authorized by the Partner to bind the Partner to the Program Agreement and other agreements. Partner Portal users may also be subject to Partner Portal terms of use, acceptable use policies or other terms related to the Program.

2.2. Training and Certification. CrowdStrike may require Partner’s completion of minimum training or certification programs established by CrowdStrike, including the payment of fees related to certain testing or certifications. If Partner does not agree to participate in such programs and pay any associated fees, then, in CrowdStrike’s sole discretion, Partner may not obtain certain certifications or be elevated within the Program.

3. CrowdStrike Offerings.

3.1. Available Offerings. CrowdStrike reserves the right at any time, in its sole discretion, to have Offerings that are not eligible for use, resale, or distribution under the Program Agreement. Future Offerings are deemed added to the Program at such time as CrowdStrike designates them for use, resale, or distribution under the Program and all such future Offerings shall be subject automatically to the Program Agreement. Partner has the option not to use, resell, or distribute any Offering. Certain Offerings may be available only for specific program types and not available for others, e.g. an Offering may be available for resale but not as part of a Packaged Product.

3.2. Discontinued Offerings. At any time CrowdStrike may discontinue Offerings. CrowdStrike will provide Partner written notice in advance of such discontinuance by posting notice on a web page accessible by Partner, by email or some other written format. CrowdStrike shall fulfill Order(s) for discontinued Offerings if such Order was accepted by CrowdStrike prior to the end of sale date of such Offering and to the extent not prohibited by law or court order or ruling. CrowdStrike and Partner shall work together to address Partner’s quotations to Customers based on CrowdStrike quotations for recently announced discontinued Offerings. CrowdStrike may re-name, re-brand, bundle or unbundle Offerings at any time in its sole discretion without notice to Partner.

4. Resale and Distribution.

4.1. One-Time Resellers. Partners designated by CrowdStrike as “One-Time Resellers” on a CrowdStrike quotation may purchase Offerings from CrowdStrike to resell to a single Customer located in a CrowdStrike approved country on a quote by quote basis by executing the CrowdStrike quote/Order. One-Time Resellers are not permitted to sell Offerings to any third party (including a Customer or another CrowdStrike partner) for purposes of further resale by such third party. One-Time Resellers are not entitled to any Program benefits, including deal registration and NFR licenses (defined below).

4.2. Resellers.

Partners designated by CrowdStrike as “Direct Resellers” may purchase Offerings from CrowdStrike and market and sell the Offerings to (i) Customers only in the Territory, or (ii) another Partner in the Direct Reseller’s Territory; provided, the other Partner is not reselling the Offering(s) to Customers, for example, a CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider Partner.

4.2.3. Reseller Exceptions and Limitations. At any time and in CrowdStrike’s sole discretion for one or more opportunities or permanently, CrowdStrike may: (i) require a Direct Reseller to purchase from a Distributor in which case, the Partner shall be deemed an Indirect Reseller, or (ii) allow an Indirect Reseller to purchase from CrowdStrike in which case, the Partner shall be deemed a Direct Reseller. Direct Resellers and Indirect Resellers shall not sell Offerings to any third party (including a Customer or another CrowdStrike partner) for purposes of further resale by such third party.

Partners designated by CrowdStrike as “Distributors” may purchase Offerings from CrowdStrike and market and sell the Offerings: (i) directly to Customers in the Territory, (ii) indirectly to Customers in the Territory by selling to an Indirect Reseller for sale directly to a Customer in the Territory, or (iii) to another Partner in the Territory who is not reselling the Offerings to Customers, for example, a CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider Partner.

5. Orders and Purchasing.

5.1. Orders with Distributors. If Partner is (i) designated as an Indirect Reseller, or (ii) instructed by CrowdStrike to, Partner must purchase the Offerings from a Distributor when Partner is placing an Order. All pricing and payment terms shall be determined between Partner and Distributor.

CrowdStrike’s obligation to provide Offerings shall be in accordance with CrowdStrike’s agreement with the Distributor and the Distributor’s corresponding Order that has been accepted by CrowdStrike.

5.2. Orders with CrowdStrike.

5.2.1. Form of Order. If Partner purchases from CrowdStrike, it must purchase and place orders for Offerings with CrowdStrike by providing CrowdStrike with: (i) an executed CrowdStrike quote/order form, or (ii) Partner’s purchase order referencing and consistent with the CrowdStrike approved quote, (either, (i) or (ii) are referred to herein as an “Order”). All Orders are subject to and governed by the Program Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Program Agreement shall apply to all Orders submitted to CrowdStrike and supersede any different or additional terms on Partner’s purchase orders or other documents. Orders issued by Partner to CrowdStrike are solely for the purpose of specifying the Offerings, pricing, amounts, owed, requesting delivery dates and/or performance periods, identifying the Customer (name, address (including country), email and phone numbers) and quantities, if applicable.

5.2.2. Order Acceptance. All Orders placed with CrowdStrike are subject to CrowdStrike’s review and may be rejected for any reason in CrowdStrike’s sole discretion prior to fulfillment of the Order. Orders are deemed accepted upon CrowdStrike’s receipt of the Order to the extent consistent with the corresponding CrowdStrike approved quotation and the Program Agreement. All Orders inconsistent with a CrowdStrike approved quotation or this Program Agreement are deemed rejected to the extent inconsistent. Once an Order has been received by CrowdStrike, (i) Order(s) are non-cancellable by Partner (including in the event of termination at will of the Program Agreement provided for in the Section entitled Suspension and Termination), (ii) all payments are non-refundable except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Program Agreement, and (iii) delivery/performance dates may be changed only upon CrowdStrike’s written consent.

5.2.3. Price and Invoicing. Partner shall pay CrowdStrike, for all Offerings at the price set forth in the Order. As between CrowdStrike and Partner, prices are determined by the CrowdStrike list price minus the applicable discount, as specified in the Program Guide, unless otherwise provided in CrowdStrike’s quote to Partner. A price quoted or offered in one quote is not guaranteed for any other quotation. At any time, CrowdStrike may change its prices on its price list and/or discounts in its Program Guide effective at least 30 days after CrowdStrike’s written notice of such. CrowdStrike may invoice Partner for Products upon receipt of an Order. CrowdStrike may invoice Partner for Services either: (i) at the time the Order is placed for Services that are procured on a flat fee or retainer basis with fees payable in advance; or (ii) at the time Services are provided and/or fees and expenses are incurred. If Services are provided on a time and materials basis, Partner shall pay: (a) all fees provided for in the Statement of Work, including but not limited to hourly fees (minimums and overages), retainer fees, travel time fees, tools fees, and post-engagement data retention fees, and (b) expenses, including but not limited to travel expenses. Travel expenses, travel time fees, and post-engagement data retention fees shall be charged to the Partner at CrowdStrike’s customary rates without discount.

5.2.4. Payment. Unless otherwise provided for in CrowdStrike’s quote to Partner: (i) Partner shall pay CrowdStrike within 30 calendar days of CrowdStrike’s invoice date, regardless of whether Partner has been paid by the Customer, and (ii) all payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any amounts due and payable by Partner but unpaid shall bear interest at the maximum annual rate permitted by applicable law until paid in full, which amount, including accrued and unpaid interest, shall be payable upon demand.

5.2.5. Taxes and Duties. In addition to any payments due to CrowdStrike under the Program Agreement, Partner shall pay amounts equal to any taxes, shipping, insurance, duties or other amounts, including without limitation state sales taxes, however designated, which are levied or based on such payments or arise under the Program Agreement, provided, however, that Partner shall not be liable for taxes based on CrowdStrike’s net income. Partner shall promptly provide CrowdStrike with a resale certificate or notice that the Partner does not have one. In the event that Partner is required by applicable law to make deductions or withholdings from payments to CrowdStrike, then Partner shall pay such additional amounts to CrowdStrike as may be necessary to assure that the actual amount received by CrowdStrike after deduction or withholding (and after payment of any additional taxes due as a consequence of such additional amount) shall equal the amount that would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required.

5.2.6. Refunds. In the event CrowdStrike is obligated to refund fees under the terms of the End User Agreement or at its own discretion agrees to refund any fees under the End User Agreement, CrowdStrike may refund the applicable amount to Partner and Partner, at CrowdStrike’s request, shall promptly refund to Customer the corresponding applicable proportionate amount based on the fees Customer paid to Partner. In such event, the Customer’s right to use the Offerings shall terminate to the extent of the refund or altogether if proration of a Product is not generally available.

5.3. Partner Pricing and Profits. Partners are responsible for setting their pricing for the Offerings, the Packaged Product, and Partner’s own products and services. CrowdStrike has no responsibility to Partner for, and makes no promises or commitments to Partner regarding, Partner’s success in the Program, Partner’s profits or margins, or its ability to continue to participate in the Program or sell to any Customers in the future.

5.4. Failure to Pay. In addition to any other rights or remedies CrowdStrike has under this Program Agreement, including under the Section entitled Suspension and Termination, CrowdStrike may suspend or terminate its performance under this Program Agreement (including, but not limited to no longer providing quotes, or benefits of the Program to Partner) and/or the End User Agreement at any time if the Partner fails to pay the Distributor or CrowdStrike for the Offerings. Nothing herein limits CrowdStrike’s remedies in the event Partner fails to pay CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike shall have no obligation to cease to provide or suspend the Offerings to any Customer. Partner is solely responsible for the collection of amounts owed to Partner for the Offerings and the failure to collect money owed by Customer or another Partner does not excuse Partner’s performance to pay CrowdStrike.

6. License Grants. All licenses granted to Partner are subject to the Partner complying at all times with the Program Agreement and having the necessary Partner type designation from CrowdStrike.

6.1. Not For Resale License. If CrowdStrike provides Partner a “not-for-resale license”, then CrowdStrike grants Partner a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Products in Partner’s non-production environment for: (i) internal training, and (ii) demonstrating and marketing the Products to Customers (the “NFR License”).

Partner shall not make the Partner Integration available to Customers or other third parties until after review and written approval by CrowdStrike. Prior to making the Partner Integration available to Customers or other third parties, Partner shall create technical and user documentation accurately and adequately describing how: (a) the Products interoperate, and (b) to use the Product Integration.

Notices regarding updates to the Program Agreement, price and product changes, or Program changes, Incentives or offers may be provided through email and/or in the Partner Portal or other web interface. All such notices are effective on the day posted or emailed to Partner.

20.4. Waiver. No waiver under the Program Agreement is effective unless it is in writing, identified as a waiver to the Program Agreement, and signed by an authorized representative of the party waiving its right. Any waiver on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated, and does not operate as a waiver on any future occasion or of any succeeding breach.

20.5. Severability. In the event any term or provision of the Program Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, shall not render the Program Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable as a whole. Upon a determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Program Agreement to affect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. In the event the parties are unable to agree to a modification of the Program Agreement, the court may then modify the Program Agreement to affect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

20.6. Controlling Law. The Program Agreement and all related documents including all exhibits attached hereto and arising out of or relating to the Program Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to its choice of law rules or conflicts of law rules. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods do not apply to the Program Agreement.

20.7. Dispute Resolution and Attorneys’ Fees.

20.7.1. Scope. The parties agree that any disagreement, dispute or claim that arises from or relates to this Program Agreement in any way, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to the construction, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, enforceability or validity of this Program Agreement, whether arising from law, equity, statute, common law or any other legal theory (“Dispute”) shall be subject to the following alternative dispute resolution procedure, except as set forth in Section 20.7.4 (Claims and Disputes Not Subject to Binding Arbitration) below.

20.7.2. Non-Binding Mediation.

20.7.3. Binding Arbitration. The binding arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or the AAA’s International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”). Except as set forth herein, the arbitration shall be conducted either under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Commercial Rules”) or the ICDR’s International Dispute Resolution Procedures (“ICDR Procedures”) in existence at the time the demand for binding arbitration is made. The locale of the arbitration shall be in Santa Clara County, California, unless the parties otherwise agree to a different locale. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected either under Rule 12 of the Commercial Rules or Article 13 of the ICDR Procedures except the AAA and ICDR shall not have the power to appoint the arbitrator under Rule 12(c) or Article 13(5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the arbitrator shall be independent, impartial, and an attorney or retired judge with at least fifteen years of experience and be familiar with California substantive law. The parties agree that if there are two or more claimants and/or two or more respondents that the claimants will be treated as one party with regard to the selection of the arbitrator and the respondents will be treated as one party with regard to the selection of the arbitrator. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to submit to binding arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to any principles of choice of law or conflicts of law and the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of California. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Good will not be applied. The parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California for the purposes of any motion to compel arbitration, for any preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration or for any injunctive relief to maintain the status quo or prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the application of the Commercial Rules or the ICDR Procedures, the AAA and the arbitrator (or an emergency arbitrator) shall not have the authority or ability to grant emergency measures, interim relief, provisional remedies or injunctive relief.

The arbitrator and parties shall treat all aspects of the arbitration proceedings including the existence, content, and results as confidential, other than disclosures that are permitted in this Program Agreement or required by law.

Notwithstanding the terms of the AAA Commercial Rules in effect at the time that any party initiates an arbitration, or the ICDR Procedures, including, but not limited to Rules 4 and 5, of the Commercial Rules and Articles 2 and 3 of the ICDR Procedures, upon the filing of a Demand for Arbitration or Notice of Arbitration, and any response and counterclaim thereto, CrowdStrike shall make a determination of the amount in controversy, as set forth below, which will determine the tier under which the arbitration is administered and notify the opposing party and the AAA or ICDR, as applicable, of its determination within ten days of any response or counterclaim. The other party may challenge CrowdStrike’s determination of the amount in controversy by filing a notice with the AAA or ICDR, as applicable, within ten days after receiving CrowdStrike’s notification. If a challenge is filed prior to the appointment of the arbitrator, the parties will wait until the appointment of the arbitrator for the dispute between the parties regarding the amount in controversy to be resolved by the arbitrator and the issue shall not be determined by an emergency arbitrator. The arbitrator shall determine any dispute regarding the amount in controversy within thirty days of appointment. The arbitrator’s ruling shall control the amount in controversy and, as set forth below, the procedures under which the arbitration shall be conducted.

20.7.3.1. Tier One. Where the Dispute’s amount in controversy is equal to or less than $1,000,000, taking into account the higher of either claims or counterclaims but not both, exclusive of interest, costs, and any request for attorneys’ fees, the arbitration shall be subject to the AAA Commercial Expedited Procedures or ICDR International Expedited Procedures, except that the arbitration shall be resolved based on the submission of documents without any in-person or oral hearing and the arbitrator shall not have the authority to order a hearing. Discovery in such Dispute shall be limited to the exchange of documents. There shall be no other discovery allowed, including third-party discovery. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the arbitrator shall issue a decision (“Underlying Award”) no later than twelve months from the appointment of the arbitrator. For an arbitration performed under Tier One, the arbitrator does not have the authority to issue an award in excess of $1,000,000 exclusive of interest, costs, and any request for attorneys’ fees.

20.7.3.2. Tier Two. Where the Dispute’s amount in controversy is more than $1,000,000 and less than or equal to $5,000,000, taking into account the higher of either claims or counterclaims but not both, exclusive of interest, costs, and any request for attorneys’ fees, the arbitration shall be subject to the AAA Commercial Rules or the ICDR Procedures. The arbitrator shall place reasonable limitations on written discovery to facilitate an efficient and expeditious proceeding, and there shall be no other discovery permitted, including depositions and third-party discovery. The parties may submit affidavits or declarations. The hearing will not include any witnesses. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the arbitrator shall issue a decision (“Underlying Award”) no later than twelve months from the appointment of the arbitrator. For an arbitration performed under Tier Two, the arbitrator does not have the authority to issue an Underlying Award in excess of $5,000,000 exclusive of interest, costs, and any request for attorneys’ fees.

20.7.3.3. Tier Three. Where the Dispute’s amount in controversy is more than $5,000,000, taking into account the higher of either claims or counterclaims but not both, exclusive of interest, costs, and any request for attorneys’ fees, the arbitration shall be subject to the AAA Commercial Rules or the ICDR Procedures. The arbitrator shall place reasonable limitations on written discovery to facilitate an efficient and expeditious proceeding. Each side shall have no more than 3 depositions of 5 hours each. However, no CrowdStrike employee that is a Vice President or higher level may be deposed or subpoenaed to attend the hearing unless identified as a hearing witness by CrowdStrike. There shall be no third-party discovery permitted. Each side may only call witnesses to the hearing that have been deposed absent a showing of good cause. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the arbitrator shall issue a decision (“Underlying Award”) no later than twelve months from the appointment of the arbitrator.

The parties shall share equally in the administrative costs of the arbitration (including the fees and costs of the arbitrator) until the issuance of the Underlying Award, but the arbitrator shall have the power to award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to be paid to the prevailing party, in addition to the reimbursement of any prior arbitration costs paid for the Dispute. The prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including without limitation, costs and fees incurred on appeal or in a bankruptcy or similar action. The prevailing party shall be the party with a net monetary recovery, a respondent that receives a dismissal, a respondent when neither the claimant or respondent obtains any relief, and a respondent as to those claimants who do not recover any relief from that respondent. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award any damages or equitable relief that conflicts with the Sections entitled (i) Confidentiality, (ii) Warranty, (iii) Indemnification, and (iv) Limitation of Liability of this Program Agreement and will not have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, fines, penalties statutory damages or double or treble damages. The arbitrator shall have the power to award interest under the applicable law.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, any final hearing must be conducted no later than twelve months from the appointment of the arbitrator and the final hearing shall be no longer than four consecutive business days. The arbitrator shall issue the Underlying Award within 30 days of the final hearing. The Underlying Award shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby agree that the Underlying Award may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“Appellate Rules”) where the Dispute is administered under Tier Three. The Underlying Award rendered by the arbitrator shall, at a minimum, be a reasoned award; and that the Underlying Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired, if applicable. A party’s rights under the Appellate Rules are in addition to a party’s rights under the Federal Arbitration Act or the California Arbitration Act. Subject to the foregoing right to appeal, a judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court of competent jurisdiction, provided, however, it is expressly understood and agreed to by the parties that in the event any party is awarded a monetary award as a result of the Underlying Award that the party will not file the Underlying Award in a court of competent jurisdiction for ten calendar days after the Underlying Award is final to provide for the payment of any such Underlying Award. In the event payment is made to the party within the ten days, the Underlying Award shall remain completely confidential, and no party will move to confirm or make the contents of the Underlying Award public. In the event there is a conflict between the Commercial Rules, the ICDR Procedures, the Appellate Rules and Section 20.7.3 (Binding Arbitration), Section 20.7.3 shall control.

20.7.4. Claims and Disputes Not Subject to Binding Arbitration. Notwithstanding Section 20.7.3 (Binding Arbitration), any claims and all allegations relating to intellectual property rights (including patent infringement or trade secret misappropriation), claims arising under the Section entitled Confidentiality, and any enforcement of arbitration awards and judgments shall not be subject to binding arbitration under Section 20.7.3, and must be brought in a separate suit or action, whether legal or equitable in nature (“Lawsuit”). To the extent a party has claims under Section 20.7.3 and Section 20.7.4 the claims must be brought separately as Binding Arbitration and a Lawsuit and cannot be consolidated. The parties expressly agree that such Lawsuit shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to any principles of choice of law or conflicts of law, and the court shall apply the substantive law of California. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Good will not be applied. The parties hereby expressly agree that CrowdStrike’s principal place of business is located in Sunnyvale, California and the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California. The parties further agree that notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lawsuit brought against CrowdStrike under Section 20.7.4 must be exclusively filed in the state or federal courts of California in Santa Clara County, California. Nevertheless, any challenge to the validity of a patent may be brought before the United States Patent Trial and Appeal Board or any equivalent United States or foreign bodies.

20.8. No Agency. The use of the term “Partner” is for convenience and does not reflect an intention of the parties to form a legal partnership. The parties are independent contractors under the Program Agreement, and nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, employment, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties and nothing contained in the Program Agreement (including use of the term “Partner”) will be construed to (i) give either Party the power to direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other, (ii) create a principal-agent or employer-employee relationship, or (iii) give either Party the authority to bind the other Party to any contract with a third party.

20.9. Force Majeure. CrowdStrike, CrowdStrike’s agents and Affiliates, Partner and Partner’s agents and Affiliates shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform for any cause beyond their reasonable control, except for the payment of money, to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, wars, sabotage, civil unrest, governmental acts, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of and is not caused by the negligence of the nonperforming party. The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is not an act of Force Majeure.

20.10. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. The Program Agreement completely and exclusively states the agreement of the parties regarding its subject matter. The Program Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous proposals, agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, or other communications between the Parties, oral or written, regarding such subject matter. Other than as set forth in Section entitled Updating the Program Agreement, the Program Agreement shall not be modified, amended, or supplemented, except by an agreement in writing signed by CrowdStrike by its duly authorized representatives. Any provision of Partner’s purchase order or any other document or communication, including emails, text messages or unofficial communications that attempt in any way to vary, add, modify or change the provisions of this Program Agreement shall be deemed null and void and have no legal effect whatsoever.
