This Reseller Agreement is a separate agreement from the agreement that FlippingBook has with its end users at https://flippingbook.com/help/legal/flippingbook-publisher-end-user-license-agreement (as may be modified by FlippingBook from time to time, “EULA”). For convenience and consistency, however, the definitions of certain terms related to our products and services will be the same as those in the end user agreements.
