Marketplace Terms and Conditions
Last Updated on April 25, 2022These DigitalOcean Marketplace Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into between DigitalOcean, LLC, including its affiliates (collectively, “DigitalOcean”), and you and your company (“Vendor”, “you”, or “your”). These Terms apply to Vendor’s publication of information regarding Vendor’s software, data, media, service, product, Add-On, or other offering (“Vendor Offering”) and product information and images regarding your Vendor Offering (“Listing Information”) on the site maintained by DigitalOcean where it provides information about certain third-party offerings (“DigitalOcean Marketplace”).
By submitting your Vendor Offering to DigitalOcean for publication on the DigitalOcean Marketplace you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind Vendor to these Terms and agree to bind Vendor to these Terms.
1. Submission, Approval, and Publication of Vendor Offerings
(a) Submission Process. In order to participate in the DigitalOcean Marketplace, Vendor must submit a request in the form required by DigitalOcean. The requirements for each submission are set forth in DigitalOcean’s current publishing guidelines (“DigitalOcean Marketplace Publishing Guidelines”) located at https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/vendors/getting-started-as-a-digitalocean-marketplace-vendor, which DigitalOcean may update from time to time in its sole discretion. The DigitalOcean Marketplace Publishing Guidelines include minimum requirements for Vendors and Vendor Offerings to be included in the DigitalOcean Marketplace. Vendor may be required to create an account on a publishing portal (“Vendor Portal”) in order to manage the submission process. If DigitalOcean approves the Vendor Offering for inclusion on the DigitalOcean Marketplace, DigitalOcean may publish the Vendor Offering on the DigitalOcean Marketplace, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms. DigitalOcean reserves the right to reject any Vendor application for any or no reason. Vendor is responsible for ensuring that the Listing Information associated with its Vendor Offering is accurate and up to date at all times.
(b) Presentation of Vendor Offerings. DigitalOcean reserves the right to determine the manner in which Vendor Offerings, Listing Information, and any other information intended to inform DigitalOcean Marketplace users about a Vendor Offering, is presented and promoted in the DigitalOcean Marketplace. “Vendor Offerings” may include DigitalOcean 1-Click Apps (also known as One-Click applications), which are pre-built virtual machine images and/or Kubernetes configurations that automate common set-up steps for users including package installation, firewall rules, and software configuration, and may also include new types of listings as determined in the future in DigitalOcean’s sole discretion. During the term of these Terms, Vendor grants DigitalOcean a limited, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license under all of Vendor’s intellectual property rights in and to the Listing Information and Vendor Offerings to use, reproduce, translate into any language, and display the Listing Information and Vendor Offerings on the DigitalOcean Marketplace. DigitalOcean shall have no obligations to post, maintain, ensure the accuracy of or otherwise manage or handle the Listing Information or Vendor Offerings.
(c) License to Vendor Marks. During the term of these Terms, Vendor grants DigitalOcean a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, worldwide right and license right and license under all of Vendor’s intellectual property rights in and to the Vendor Marks to use, reproduce and display Vendor’s trademarks and logos (“Vendor Marks”) as provided to DigitalOcean, in connection with the marketing and promotion of the Vendor Offerings in the DigitalOcean Marketplace. DigitalOcean may reformat or resize Vendor Marks for publishing on the DigitalOcean Marketplace provided that it does not materially alter the overall appearance of the Vendor Marks. DigitalOcean will stop using the Vendor Marks upon termination of Vendor’s participation on the DigitalOcean Marketplace.
