DPP Host Partner Terms and the brand's authorisation

Version of 29 October 2026

This text is published in English only.

Part 1. Partner Terms

These Partner Terms are an addendum to the DPP Host Terms of Service (the "Terms"). Words defined in the Terms have the same meaning here, in particular Partner, Partner Organisation, Client Organisation, Partner Link and Partner Staff (Terms clause 2).

1. Scope. These Partner Terms add to the Terms for a Customer whose Organisation is a Partner Organisation (the "Partner"). On the partner programme they prevail over the Terms.
2. Joining. A Verified Organisation whose legal name a register or DPP Host has confirmed joins when an Organisation Owner accepts these Partner Terms in the Dashboard for the Partner and DPP Host approves the request.
3. Clients. The Partner works only in Client Organisations whose Organisation Owner linked it, only with the role that Client chose (Viewer or Editor), and only for that Client. The Client stays the Customer for its Organisation and responsible under the Terms. The Partner never holds the Admin or Organisation Owner role in a Client Organisation.
4. Its own agreement with each Client. The Partner has a written agreement with each Client for its services, with data processing terms where it processes personal data for the Client (GDPR Art. 28(3)). DPP Host is not a party to that agreement and is not responsible for the Partner's services.
5. No agency. The Partner is not DPP Host's agent, reseller, employee or partner in law. It cannot accept terms, give promises or take payments for DPP Host. Neither party is exclusive.
6. Data. The Partner uses a Client's data only for that Client, keeps its Clients apart and keeps their data confidential. When a Partner Link ends, the Partner deletes or returns the Client's data it holds outside DPP Host, such as downloaded labels and files, unless the law requires it to keep them or the Client agrees otherwise.
7. GTINs. The Partner never claims or uses a Client's GTINs for itself. It publishes a Client's products in its own Organisation only as their Economic Operator, with the licensee's Delegation or letter (Terms clause 7). DPP Host refuses a GTIN Claim by the Partner that overlaps a claim or Delegation of an Organisation it has or had a Partner Link with. The Partner cooperates in the GTIN dispute procedure (Terms clause 7.5).
8. Claims. The Partner does not say or suggest that DPP Host certifies, approves, authorises or employs it; that DPP Host or the Partner is approved by the EU, a verified DPP service provider or certified by GS1; that passports guarantee compliance with the law; or that it is a partner of GS1, Shopify or a marketplace. It may say "We manage Digital Product Passports for our clients on DPP Host". It uses no DPP Host logo unless DPP Host provides one. This does not stop a Client from naming the Partner in passport fields where the Partner holds a legal role for the product (manufacturer, importer or EU responsible person).
9. Staff. The Partner is responsible for its Partner Staff. A person's access to every Client Organisation ends automatically when they leave the Partner Organisation.
10. Sanctions. The Partner, its owners and its staff are not on an EU sanctions list, and it does not act for a listed person or for businesses in Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea or Syria. The Partner tells DPP Host at once if this changes. DPP Host may then end these Partner Terms at once.
11. Money. The partner account has no fee. DPP Host may give the Partner a promotion code for its Clients; the code's terms are those stated with it (Terms clause 5.7). DPP Host pays the Partner no fee or commission unless an Order says so. DPP Host may change the partner programme with 30 days' notice; a change never withdraws a discount already applied at Checkout.
12. Ending. Either party may end these Partner Terms at any time, the Partner by email to hello@dpphost.eu. DPP Host may suspend or end them at once for a breach. Every Partner Link then ends, the Client Organisations and their data stay with the Clients, and DPP Host tells the Clients.
13. Liability, law and venue. As in the Terms (clauses 17 and 21), and the Partner indemnifies DPP Host against claims arising from a breach of items 6, 7, 8 and 10.
14. Organisations prepared for a brand, and approvals. The Partner may prepare an Organisation for a brand that has not joined DPP Host yet, enter the email address of a contact at that brand, prepare the brand's Passports there and send them to the brand for approval. The Partner does so only for a brand that asked for its services and enters only an address that the brand gave it for this purpose. Until the brand's contact takes the Organisation over, it has no Organisation Owner, publishes nothing, cannot be verified and has no paid Plan, and the Partner is not the Customer for it and gains no right in it. The contact takes the Organisation over when they open one of its Passports or decide on a request, and accepts the brand's authorisation (Part 2) for the Partner at that moment; from then on the brand is the Customer for the Organisation (item 3). Only the brand's Organisation Owners and Admins approve. Approving publishes the Passports in the brand's name, as if its own members had asked for it, and the Partner never holds the Admin or Organisation Owner role there. When the brand declines, the Partner sees its reason. If the brand does not take the Organisation over, DPP Host deletes the contact's address 90 days after it was entered or the last request ran out, whichever is later; the Organisation and its Passports stay, and the Partner may enter a new contact the brand gave it for this purpose.

Part 2. The brand's authorisation

The Organisation Owner of the Client Organisation sees this text in full on the invitation page before accepting, with the Partner's confirmed legal name, country and proved web domains and the name and email of the person who sent the link. The words in braces stand for the details of each link. The acceptance records the version, who accepted and when. The English text below is the source; the Dashboard shows it in the person's interface language and the English text prevails, as Terms clause 1.6.

{Organisation} lets {partner legal name} ({country}) work in this organisation as its partner, with the role {viewer or editor}. (1) The partner's staff act for {Organisation}; what they do binds {Organisation} as if its own members did it. (2) {Organisation} stays the Customer and the owner of this organisation, and is responsible for its passports, GTINs and data. (3) Partner staff are never admins or owners here: they cannot manage members, billing, business verification, GTIN claims and delegations, settings, shop links, API keys, webhooks, domains, exports or the owner-services terms. (4) They see what a member with this role sees, including the members list (with other partners' staff), supplier contacts and, if owner services are on, owners' requests; as editors they change products and suppliers and publish passports through an approval. (5) Agree with {partner} how it handles your data (GDPR Art. 28); DPP Host is not a party to that agreement. (6) Partner staff don't use your plan's seats. (7) You can change the role or remove {partner} at any time under Members; access ends at once and your data stays.
