Claude Partner Network Agreement
This Claude Partner Network Agreement (this “CPNA”) governs your participation in the Claude Partner Network Program (the “Program”) and is an agreement between Anthropic (as defined below, and also referred to herein as “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you” or “your”). This CPNA also incorporates by reference, and is deemed to include the terms and conditions contained in, our Partner Program Guide, the Anthropic Policies, and any exhibits or other documents or terms (including any Program Specific Terms) that are incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing, each of which forms an integral part of this CPNA. Please see Section J for definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this CPNA.
This CPNA takes effect on the day you electronically agree to these terms by any method made available by Anthropic for such purpose (the “Effective Date”). By doing so, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this CPNA and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions. You also hereby represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor) and, if you are entering into this CPNA for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity.
A. Program.
- Participation. To participate in the Program and utilize any of its benefits, you must (a) submit a complete Program application through the Claude Partner Hub portal, (b) receive written approval from Anthropic to join the Program, which shall be granted in Anthropic’s sole discretion (including, if accepted, as to your Program level or tier), and (c) enter into this CPNA (and this CPNA must not have been terminated).
- Affiliate Participation. Your Affiliates may participate in the Program, subject to their compliance with this CPNA and separate execution of any applicable Program Specific Terms; provided, you remain fully liable to us for your Affiliates’ actions or omissions under, and their compliance with, this CPNA. Any breach of the CPNA by your Affiliates will be deemed a breach by you, and we reserve the right to terminate any Affiliate’s participation in the Program upon written notice.
- Account. If you are accepted into the Program, you may register a Program account where you can manage your participation in the Program. Anthropic may use your Program Account Information to send you information about Anthropic, the Program or other relevant information. Program Account Information and any other personal information Anthropic or any of its Affiliates receive from you or otherwise collect to maintain and facilitate your participation in the Program will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You are solely responsible for all activity under your Program account. You will promptly notify Anthropic if you believe your account has been compromised or is subject to a denial of service or similar malicious attack.
- Benefits. As part of the Program, we may invite you to participate in opportunities or provide you with funding or other benefits related to your activities that support usage, promotion, or knowledge of the Anthropic Services. Any benefits, or their continued availability to you, are not guaranteed and may be subject to change as further described in this CPNA. If you receive benefits for which we determine you are not eligible, you will return such benefits upon our request, or we may cancel such benefits or make corresponding reductions to any of your future benefits. You may not use any benefits for any purpose other than for their intended use as set forth in the Partner Program Guide or otherwise communicated to you by Anthropic. Benefits may not be used by your employees for their personal benefit. All Program benefits and details thereof are set forth in the Partner Program Guide and may be subject to additional Program Specific Terms.
- Government Customer Projects. If you accept any benefits under this CPNA in support of a project relating to an existing or potential business relationship with a Governmental Entity (a “Government Customer Project”), you agree that:
- If the benefits are in the form of funding, the Governmental Entity must derive independent financial benefit from your consumption of the benefits (i.e., free or discounted products or services from you).
- You will comply with all procurement laws, rules, regulations, and contract provisions, including any that pertain to discounts and rebates, or that pertain to ethics and integrity (e.g., prohibitions against gratuities, bribery, corruption, kickbacks, conflicts of interest or false statements or claims). Your use of benefits under this CPNA must not create a conflict of interest (or the appearance of a conflict of interest) for you or Anthropic or give rise to any liability for Anthropic. Anthropic recommends you confirm with the applicable Governmental Entity’s contracting officer, ethics official, or other applicable Representative that your use of the benefits provided under this CPNA in connection with the applicable Government Customer Project is lawful, ethical, and permissible.
- You will disclose to the applicable Governmental Entity the details regarding your receipt of benefits under this CPNA to the extent required by Applicable Law, such Governmental Entity’s contracting requirements, or Anthropic. Anthropic is not responsible for confirming the accuracy of such disclosures prior to distributing the benefits under this CPNA. If you provide recommendations to a Governmental Entity regarding Anthropic’s services, your receipt of such benefits should not impact such recommendations, and you will not use such benefits for the Government Customer Project unless you first disclose in writing to the applicable Governmental Entity that Anthropic is providing you benefits for the Government Customer Project.
- Fees. To the extent applicable, any Program fees payable by you to participate in the Program, and the terms and conditions associated with the payment thereof, will be set forth in the Partner Program Guide (including, if applicable, in the relevant Program Specific Terms).
- Conduct.
- You will at all times (i) conduct your activities in connection with the Program in a professional and competent manner and in accordance with the Anthropic Policies, and (ii) not engage in any harmful, false, or deceptive acts or practices (including making any unauthorized, false, misleading or illegal statements in connection with this CPNA, or regarding the Program). You are solely responsible for ensuring you are eligible to receive, and that you are using, any benefits under the Program in accordance with Applicable Law. You will be responsible for your Representatives’ compliance with the terms and conditions of this CPNA as if their acts and omissions were your acts and omissions.
- You will not, directly or indirectly, offer, promise, give or authorize the giving of anything of value to any government official or other person for the purpose of (i) influencing any act or decision in connection with this CPNA, (ii) inducing any person to act in violation of their lawful duty or (iii) securing any improper business advantage. You will immediately notify Anthropic if you become aware of (A) any investigation, enforcement action, complaint, litigation, or other proceedings against you or your Representatives related to the Program or your activities in connection with the Program, (B) any government investigation, enforcement action, or formal allegation involving Partner or its personnel, including any matter under Anti-Bribery Laws (as defined below), sanctions, export controls, or the AI Diffusion Rule or (C) any fact or circumstance that would render any representation or warranty you made under this CPNA— including representations when accepting this CPNA, in the Program application, or in any subsequent recertification—materially inaccurate.
- While you are a participant in the Program, you will comply with all Applicable Laws (and you will not attempt to cause or knowingly support any violation of any Applicable Law), including all applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations, including (i) those maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (including the Export Administration Regulations and the AI Diffusion Rule), the U.S. Department of Defense Trade Controls, the European Union, the United Kingdom and any other applicable jurisdiction and (ii) the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR") maintained by the U.S. Department of State. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in performing your obligations under this CPNA, you will comply with all applicable commercial and public anti-bribery laws (“Anti-Bribery Laws”), including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act of 2010 and any local equivalents in any jurisdictions where you operate or transact, which prohibit corrupt offers of anything of value, either directly or indirectly to anyone, including government officials, to obtain or keep business or to secure any other improper commercial advantage. You will (A) comply with Anthropic’s anti-bribery due diligence process, including providing complete and accurate information in response to Anthropic's requests and completing any periodic compliance certifications or recertifications Anthropic may reasonably require, in each case within the timeframe reasonably specified by Anthropic and (B) not make any facilitation payments, which are payments to induce officials to perform routine functions they are otherwise obligated to perform. For the purposes of Section A.7, “government official” includes any government employee; candidate for public office; and employee of government-owned or government-controlled companies, public international organizations, and political parties.
- You will not make any representations or warranties concerning the Program on behalf of Anthropic. Anthropic will not be responsible for any representations or warranties made by you concerning the Program.
- You agree that you will only disclose customer contact details to Anthropic in connection with your participation in the Program if you have obtained any appropriate consents, as applicable, from such customer to allow Anthropic or an Anthropic-authorized partner to use such details to communicate directly with the customer for purposes related to Anthropic (or Anthropic-authorized partners) soliciting a direct or indirect sales or service provider relationship with such customer. For the avoidance of doubt, neither you nor Anthropic will be acting as the other party’s processor (as defined under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or its equivalent under other applicable data protection laws) in connection with your acceptance into the Program, and each party is an independent controller of personal information received. Any disclosure of personal information under a particular Program initiative may be subject to additional terms set forth in the Partner Program Guide or applicable Program Specific Terms. If we provide any personal information to you, you will handle, use, process, and delete such personal information (a) in accordance with applicable data protection laws, (b) only for the purpose for which it is provided, and (c) in accordance with your privacy policy.
B. Confidentiality.
- Confidential Information. The parties may share Confidential Information in connection with the Program. The receiving party (“Recipient”) may only use Confidential Information of the disclosing party (the “Discloser”) to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this CPNA and will use reasonable care to protect against any unauthorized disclosure of Discloser’s Confidential Information. Recipient may only share Discloser’s Confidential Information with Recipient’s Representatives that have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound to obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those provided in this CPNA. Recipient is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Representatives relating to this CPNA or the activities contemplated hereby.
- Exclusions. Confidential Information excludes information that: (a) becomes publicly available through no fault of Recipient or its Representatives, (b) is obtained by Recipient from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality, or (c) is independently developed by Recipient without use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information. Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent it is required by Applicable Law and will, except where expressly prohibited, notify Discloser of the required disclosure promptly and cooperate with Discloser’s efforts to prevent or narrow the scope of disclosure.
- Destruction Request. Recipient will destroy Discloser’s Confidential Information promptly upon request, except where retained to comply with Applicable Law or as copies in Recipient’s automated back-up systems, which will remain subject to these obligations of confidentiality while maintained.
- Security Incidents. You will notify Anthropic in writing within the seventy-two (72) hours upon becoming aware of any confirmed security incident affecting Anthropic’s Confidential Information (including any personal information).
C. Intellectual Property.
- Rights Granted by Anthropic. Solely in connection with your participation in the Program, and only while you remain a participant in good standing, Anthropic hereby grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to display Anthropic Trademarks, subject to, in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, this CPNA (including the Partner Program Guide) and the Anthropic Brand & Trademark Guidelines. All goodwill arising from your use of the Anthropic Trademarks shall inure to the benefit of Anthropic.
- Rights granted by You. For so long as you are a participant in the Program, (a) Anthropic may disclose your name, website, and other general contact information as a Program participant, and (b) you hereby grant Anthropic and its Affiliates a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, and translate all or any part of Partner Materials in connection with your participation in the Program. In connection with Anthropic’s exercise of such rights, Anthropic may make reasonable, minor changes to Partner Materials, such as resizing or reformatting Partner Materials. As between the parties, you own and reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the Partner Materials. All goodwill arising from Anthropic’s or its Affiliates’ use of the Partner Trademarks shall inure to your benefit.
- Restricted Use. Each party may use the other party’s Trademarks only as expressly permitted in this CPNA. Each party may revoke the other party’s right to use its Trademarks under this CPNA with written notice to the other party; provided that a reasonable period of time is provided to cease use of the Trademarks.
- Reservation of Rights. Except as expressly stated in this CPNA, this CPNA does not grant either party any rights to the other’s intellectual property, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, acceptance into the Program does not authorize you to access, use, resell or sublicense Anthropic Services, and nothing in this CPNA grants you any such rights. Any use of the Anthropic Services shall be governed by your relevant Customer Agreement(s).
- Contacts. By registering a Program account, you hereby consent to Anthropic contacting you (e.g., by email) for any of the following purposes: (a) regarding Program updates; (b) with relevant Program promotional materials, and/or (c) to reasonably request information from you about your business and customers as it relates to your participation in the Program. You represent and warrant that you have obtained the consents necessary for Anthropic to send these communications to your Representatives who are also registered in your Program account.
- Feedback. If you provide (in your sole discretion) Anthropic with any suggestions for, contributions to or feedback on the Program (“Feedback”), you hereby grant Anthropic and its Affiliates an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, paid-up, royalty-free license to use such Feedback.
D. Publicity.

The following provisions will survive termination or expiration of this CPNA: (i) Sections B (Confidentiality), C.4 (Reservation of Rights) and C.6 (Feedback), D (Publicity), E (Term and Termination), F (Disputes), G (Indemnification), H.1 (Warranties), H.2 (Disclaimer of Warranties), H.3 (Limits on Liability), and I (Miscellaneous), and (ii) any provision or condition that must survive to fulfill its essential purpose.
F. Disputes.
- Disputes. In the event of a Dispute, the parties will first attempt in good faith to informally resolve the matter. The party raising the Dispute must provide Notice to the other party. The other party will respond to the Dispute Notice in a timely manner. If the parties have not resolved the Dispute within 45 days of delivery of the Dispute Notice, either party may seek to resolve the Dispute through arbitration as stated in Section F.2 (Arbitration).

- Process. The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party of the relevant Claim and reasonably cooperate in the defense. The indemnifying party will retain the right to control the defense of any such Claim, including the selection of counsel, the strategy and course of any litigation or appeals, and any negotiations or settlement or compromise, except that the indemnified party will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to an ongoing affirmative obligation.

Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this CPNA without the other party’s prior written consent, except that Anthropic may assign its rights and delegate its obligations to an Affiliate or as part of a sale of all or substantially all of its business. Any purported assignment or delegation is null and void except as permitted above. No permitted assignment or delegation will relieve the contracting party or assignees of their obligations under this CPNA.

If you and Anthropic enter into a separate written agreement that is negotiated and executed by both parties and that explicitly governs your participation in the Program, that agreement will control over this CPNA to the extent of any conflict.
- Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

You will not make any representations, warranties, or guarantees to any third party on behalf of Anthropic. Neither party, nor any of its respective Affiliates, is an agent of the other for any purpose or has the authority to bind the other. This CPNA is non-exclusive, and nothing in it precludes either party from entering into similar arrangements with third parties. Nothing in this CPNA is a revenue, lead, or volume guarantee, and neither party is obligated to purchase the other party’s products or services
