Avalara 2025 Partner Awards Terms and Conditions
By participating in the Avalara 2025 Partner Awards (the “Partner Awards”), you agree to the following terms and conditions (the “Terms”). The Partner Awards are sponsored by Avalara, Inc. (“Avalara”). Subject to these Terms, Avalara will select winners from participating partners to receive certain awards (each an “Award”) and corresponding prizes. These Terms, including Avalara’s provision and the winners’ acceptance of the Awards and corresponding prizes, are governed by the Avalara Partner Program Agreement (or equivalent partnership agreement) between Avalara and each participating partner. Contact your Avalara Strategic Account Manager (“SAM”) or your Strategic Partner Manager (“SPM”) directly with any questions.
PRIZES: Winners selected to receive an Award will be granted the following benefits:
- Press release announcing Award
- Digital badge for display on winners’ websites
- Co-branding opportunities, such as spotlights for the winners in various Avalara marketing initiatives (e.g., webinar, blog, newsletter, social media, website); winners of the Partner of the Year Awards may be invited to publish a joint customer success story
- Meeting with senior Avalara executives
- Trophy
- Swag bags for winners’ primary representatives
ELIGIBILITY: Only partners that have entered into a written Avalara Partner Program Agreement (or equivalent partnership agreement) enrolling them in the Avalara Partner Program prior to January 1, 2025, are eligible to win an Award.
HOW TO ENTER: No purchase is necessary to enter or win an Award. All eligible partners will be automatically entered into the running for the Awards. Partners may opt out of participating in the Awards by sending written notice to their SAMs, SPMs, or partnerengagementdesk@avalara.com.
SELECTION OF WINNERS: At or around the beginning of the 2026 calendar year, Avalara will give out a total of six Awards, each for a different category. Finalists for each Award will be selected from all eligible, participating partners based on a combination of objective performance indicators, subjective criteria, and voting by Avalara employees. Finalists may be asked to submit additional materials for consideration by the Avalara selection committee to remain eligible to win. The Avalara selection committee and senior Avalara leadership, in their sole discretion, will select a winner for each Award from the finalists.
AWARD ACCEPTANCE: The winners will be notified via email upon selection. If a winner does not accept the Award within 7 days of being notified, the winner will forfeit the Award and corresponding prizes and an alternate winner will be selected. This process will continue until a winner accepts the Award.
PRIZE RESTRICTIONS: The winner is solely responsible for all taxes, fees, and insurance expenses, if any. No prize substitution, cash substitution, assignment or transfer of the prize is permitted, except that Avalara may substitute a prize of equal or greater value in the event it deems necessary. All tangible, chattel prizes are awarded “as is” and without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied. The winner agrees to provide Avalara with any required tax form, including Form W-9, or other information reasonably requested by Avalara relating to the Award or the prize. Avalara will provide the Internal Revenue Service with any required tax reporting forms relating to the Award or the prize, including Form 1099-MISC.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY: Each participant agrees that Avalara and its affiliates, distributors, partners, consultants, agents, and employees are not responsible for typographical or other errors in the offer or administration of these partner awards, including but not limited to errors in the terms, the selection and announcement of the winners, or the distribution of the prizes.
PUBLICITY: By accepting an Award, each winner grants Avalara the right to use the winner’s trademarks, trade names, logos, and any marketing materials provided by the winner to promote the winner’s receipt of the Award and partnership with Avalara, solely in connection with the provision of the Award and corresponding prizes. Avalara does not obtain any other right, title, or interest in the winner’s trademarks, trade names, logos, and marketing materials. Avalara will comply with any usage guidelines provided by the winner for such trademarks, trade names, logos, and/or marketing materials.
GOVERNING LAW: The Partner Awards and these Terms, including any disputes hereunder, will be governed, construed, and interpreted under the laws of the state of Washington, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles. The state or federal courts in King County, Washington, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit. Depending on the country in which you are employed or engaged as a contractor, additional laws and regulations may apply.
MISCELLANEOUS: This offer is void where prohibited by law unless otherwise indicated. Avalara may suspend, terminate, or modify the Partner Awards and these Terms at any time, without notice, and reserves the right to disqualify anyone from participation. Avalara shall be entitled to interpret these Terms as needed, and all interpretations, determinations, and selections will be made by Avalara in its sole discretion and are final and binding. Avalara’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision, nor will it waive or invalidate any other provision of these Terms. If you violate these Terms, violate any law, rule or regulation in connection with participation in the Partner Awards, tamper with the operation of the Awards, or engage in any conduct that is detrimental or unfair to Avalara, the Partner Awards or any other participant (in each case as determined in Avalara’s sole discretion), you are subject to disqualification from participating in the Partner Awards. Any provision of these Terms deemed unenforceable will be enforced to the extent permissible, and the remainder of these Terms will remain in effect.
