What is the Bonterms Standard Agreement?

Atlassian offers the Bonterms Standard End User Agreement (“Bonterms Standard Agreement”) as a streamlined end-user contracting option in the Atlassian Marketplace.

The Bonterms Standard Agreement was designed by a committee of 100 lawyers to offer a best-practice standard agreement that balances the interests of both Marketplace Partners and customers. This agreement is free to use and licensed under the open source document license CC BY ND.

Marketplace Partners can adapt the Bonterms Standard Agreement for their Cloud or Data Center apps by entering their own Provider-Specific Terms to customize the base agreement as necessary (for instance, to specify a different governing law and jurisdiction). Partners can also include links to Attachments (such as a DPA, Security Policy, Support Policy, or SLA) that are tailored for their business and how they provide their products.

Why use the Bonterms Standard Agreement?

Reviewing a custom legal agreement for an app takes time and legal resources – and for customers who are migrating to Cloud, this process must be repeated for each app they want to bring on their Cloud migration journey.

Customers benefit from the Bonterms Standard Agreement by having a baseline set of legal terms that they only need to review once but can use to purchase any participating apps. These customers can focus instead on the limited Attachments and Provider-Specific Terms that vary from app to app, reducing friction and accelerating the app review process.

By adopting the Bonterms Standard Agreement, Marketplace Partners can benefit from a balanced agreement representing industry best practices and make it easy and fast for customers to review and purchase their apps.
