GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SECTION 1. ACCESS TO THE SERVICES

Zendesk will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, except during (a) Planned Downtime (of which Zendesk will give advance notice via the Site or to the Account owner); and (b) Force Majeure Events. Zendesk reserves the right to monitor and periodically audit Subscriber’s use of the Zendesk Services to ensure that Subscriber’s use complies with the Agreement and the Service Plan restrictions on Zendesk’s Site. Should Zendesk discover that Subscriber’s use of a Service violates this Agreement or the Service Plan features and limitations on Our Site or Documentation, Zendesk reserves the right to charge the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby agrees to pay, for said overuse, in addition to other remedies available to Us.
1.2 Support. Zendesk will, at no additional charge, provide Subscriber standard customer support for the Services as detailed on the applicable Site and Documentation. If purchased by Subscriber, Zendesk will provide upgraded support or support that includes service level agreements.
1.3 Professional Services. If Subscriber engages Zendesk for the provision of Professional Services, either directly with Zendesk or from an unrelated third party authorized to sell such Professional Services, the provision of such Professional Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions stated at https://www.zendesk.com/company/agreements-and-terms/professional-services-terms.

1.5 Additional Features. Zendesk will notify Subscriber or the Reseller of applicable Supplemental Terms or alternate terms and conditions prior to Subscriber’s activation of any Additional Features. Subscriber’s activation of any Additional Features in Subscriber’s Account or by the Reseller will be considered acceptance of the applicable Supplemental Terms or alternate terms and conditions where applicable.
1.6 Extension of Rights to Affiliates. Subscriber may extend its rights, benefits and protections provided herein to its Affiliates and to contractors or service providers acting on Subscriber’s or Subscriber’s Affiliates’ behalf, provided that Subscriber remains responsible for their compliance hereunder.
SECTION 2. USE OF THE SERVICES
2.1 Login Management. Access to and use of certain Services is restricted, such as to the specified number of individual Agents permitted under Subscriber’s subscription to the applicable Service, as detailed in the Documentation. For Services that are Agent-based, Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that an Agent Login cannot be shared or used by more than one (1) individual per Account. However, Agent Logins may be reassigned to new individuals replacing former individuals who no longer require ongoing use of the Services. Subscriber and Agents are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Agent Login information for an Account. Absent a written license from Zendesk expressly stating otherwise, Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that Subscriber may not use the Services, including but not limited to the API, to circumvent the requirement for an individual Agent Login for each individual who (a) leverages the Services to interact with End-Users; (b) processes data related to interactions with End-Users; or (c) processes data related to interactions originating from a Non-Zendesk Service or third-party service that provides functionality similar to functionality provided by the Services and which would, pursuant to this Agreement, require an individual Agent Login, if utilizing the Services for such interaction. Further, Subscriber shall not use the API or any Software in such a way to circumvent applicable Service Plan restrictions or Agent licensing restrictions that are enforced in the Service user interface. Zendesk reserves the right to charge Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby agrees to pay, for any overuse of a Service in violation of this Agreement or the Service Plan features and limitations on the Site or Documentation, in addition to other remedies available to Zendesk.
2.2 Compliance. Subscriber is responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by Agents and End-Users and for any and all activities that occur under an Account, which Zendesk may verify from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber will ensure that its use of the Services is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations as well as any and all privacy notices, agreements or other obligations Subscriber may maintain or enter into with Agents or End-Users.
2.3 Content and Conduct. Subscriber agrees to comply with the Zendesk User Content and Conduct Policy (as defined below) which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. Further, in Subscriber’s use of the Services Subscriber agrees not to (a) modify, adapt, or hack the Services or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems or networks; (b) attempt to bypass or break any security or rate limiting mechanism on any of the Services or use the Services in any manner that interferes with or disrupts the integrity, security or performance of the Services and its components; (c) attempt to decipher, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise discover the source code of any Software making up the Services; or (d) to the extent Subscriber is subject to the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and its implementing regulations (HIPAA), use the Services to store or transmit any “protected health information” as defined by HIPAA, unless expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by Zendesk.
2.4 System Requirements. A high-speed Internet connection is required for proper transmission of the Services. Subscriber is responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect Subscriber’s network to the Services including, but not limited to, browser software that supports protocols used by Zendesk, including the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol or other protocols accepted by Zendesk, and to follow procedures for accessing services that support such protocols. Zendesk is not responsible for notifying Subscriber, Agents or End-Users of any upgrades, fixes or enhancements to any such software or for any compromise of data, including Service Data, transmitted across computer networks or telecommunications facilities (including but not limited to the Internet) which are not owned, operated or controlled by Zendesk. Zendesk assumes no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any connections as described in this Section.
2.5 Internal Business Purposes Only. Unless otherwise authorized by Zendesk in this Agreement or expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by Zendesk, Subscriber may not use the Services in any manner where Subscriber acts as a service bureau or provides any outsourced business process services on behalf of more than one (1) third party (other than Affiliates) through a single Account. This provision is not intended to prevent or inhibit the use of the Services to provide business support to multiple End-Users; however, Subscriber agrees not to license, sublicense, sell, outsource, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time-share or otherwise commercially exploit or resell the Services to any third party, other than authorized Agents and End-Users in furtherance of Subscriber’s internal business purposes as expressly permitted by this Agreement, unless expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by Zendesk. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber’s right to access and use the API is also subject to the restrictions and policies implemented by Zendesk from time to time with respect to the API as set forth in the Documentation or otherwise communicated to Subscriber in accordance with this Agreement.
2.6 No Competitive Access. Subscriber may not access the Services for competitive purposes or if Subscriber is a competitor of the Zendesk Group.

SECTION 3. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
3.1 Under the terms and conditions of Zendesk’s agreement with Reseller (the “Reseller Agreement”), Zendesk is entitled to suspend or terminate Your subscription to the Service, Your rights to access and use the Service or Your Account, and remove and discard any Service Data if: (a) Zendesk is notified by Reseller of Your failure to pay amounts due to Reseller with respect to Your subscription to a Service; or (b) Reseller fails to pay any amounts due to Zendesk pursuant to the Reseller Agreement with respect to Your subscription to a Service. You consent to these suspension and termination rights and acknowledge and agree that Zendesk shall have no liability to You of any kind with respect to any such suspension or termination. Subscriber sole recourse with respect to any such suspension or termination shall be against Reseller.
3.2 Following the termination or cancellation of Subscriber’s subscription to the Service and/or Account, Zendesk reserves the right to delete all Service Data in the normal course of operation pursuant to Zendesk’s Service Data Deletion Policy available on Zendesk’s Agreements and Terms Website.
3.3 Termination for Cause. A Party may terminate this Agreement for cause (a) upon written notice to the other Party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured after thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice; or (b) if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors. However, Zendesk may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause without notice if Subscriber violates the Zendesk User Content and Conduct Policy or if provision of the Service violates applicable law, regulation or court order.
3.4 Export of Service Data. Upon Subscriber’s written request, Zendesk will make Service Data available to Subscriber for export or download as provided in the Documentation for thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination, expiration or migration of the Account, except for Service Data which (i) has been deleted in accordance with the Documentation, (ii) was created and/or used in violation of this Agreement, or (iii) unless prohibited by law or legal order. Thereafter, Zendesk will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Service Data and Zendesk will delete Service Data in accordance with Zendesk’s Service Data Deletion Policy available on Zendesk’s Agreement and Terms Website unless prohibited by law or legal order.
SECTION 4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
In connection with the Services, each Party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure in the same manner as each Party protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each Party may use the other Party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall disclose such Confidential Information (a) solely to the employees and/or non-employee service providers and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality intended to prevent the misuse of such Confidential Information; (b) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. Except for Zendesk’s Security Non-Disclosure Agreement (where executed by Subscriber), the provisions of this Section 4 shall control over any non-disclosure agreement by and between the Parties and any such non-disclosure agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to the exchange of Confidential Information after the execution of this Agreement. This section shall not apply to any information which (a) was publicly known prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party, or (b) becomes publicly known after such disclosure through no action or inaction of the receiving Party in violation of this Agreement. For clarity, any exchange of Confidential Information prior to the execution of this Agreement shall continue to be governed by any such non-disclosure agreement. Given the unique nature of Confidential Information, the Parties agree that any violation or threatened violation by a Party to this Agreement with respect to Confidential Information may cause irreparable injury to the other Party. Therefore, the Parties agree such violation or threatened violation shall entitle the other Party to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to all legal remedies.
SECTION 5. SUB-PROCESSORS AND SECURITY OF SERVICE DATA
5.1 Sub-processors. Zendesk will utilize Sub-processors who will have access to or process Service Data to assist in providing the Services to the Subscriber. Subscriber hereby confirms and provides general authorization for Zendesk’s use of the Sub-processors listed within Zendesk’s Sub-processor Policy. Zendesk shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of members of Zendesk Personnel and Sub-processors to the same extent that Zendesk would be responsible if Zendesk was performing the services of each Zendesk Personnel or Sub-processor directly under the terms of this Agreement. Subscriber may sign up to receive notifications of any changes to the Sub-processor Policy within the policy webpage.
5.2 Third-Party Service Providers. Zendesk may use third-party service providers that are utilized by the Zendesk Group to assist in providing the Services to Subscriber, but do not have access to Service Data. Any third-party service providers utilized by the Zendesk Group will be subject to confidentiality obligations which are substantially similar to the confidentiality terms herein.

The Zendesk Group’s compliance with the Enterprise Security Measures or the Innovation Security Measures, each as applicable, shall be deemed compliance with the Zendesk Group’s obligations to protect Service Data as set forth in the Agreement.
5.4 Service Data. Zendesk will, and Subscriber hereby instructs Zendesk to, access Service Data to provide, secure and improve the Services. Subscriber is solely responsible for the accuracy, content, and legality of all Service Data. When Service Data is used to improve Zendesk machine learning models, Zendesk will ensure that Service Data, including Personal Data, is not reproduced by the model to another customer, and will take necessary steps to prevent this, such as applying data sanitation algorithms to training data.

SECTION 6. TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
Zendesk reserves the right to restrict functionalities or suspend the Services (or any part thereof), Subscriber’s Account or Subscriber’s and/or Agents’ or End-Users’ rights to access and use the Services and remove, disable or quarantine any Service Data or other content if (a) Zendesk reasonably believes that Subscriber, Agents or End-Users have violated this Agreement; or (b) Zendesk suspects or detects any Malicious Software connected to a Subscriber’s Account or use of a Service by Subscriber, Agents or End-Users. This right includes the removal or disablement of Service Data or other content in accordance with Zendesk’s Copyright Infringement Notice and Takedown Policy available on Zendesk’s Intellectual Property Website. Zendesk also reserves the right to immediately suspend Subscriber’s Account for Subscriber’s violation of the Zendesk User Content and Conduct Policy. Unless legally prohibited from doing so or where Zendesk is legally required to take immediate action, Zendesk will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Subscriber via email when taking any of the foregoing actions. Zendesk shall not be liable to Subscriber, Agents, End-Users or any other third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuation of Subscriber’s rights to access and use the Services. Zendesk may refer any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity by Subscriber, Agents or End-Users to law enforcement authorities at Zendesk’s sole discretion.
SECTION 7. NON-ZENDESK SERVICES
If Subscriber decides to enable, access or use Non-Zendesk Services, Subscriber’s access and use of such Non-Zendesk Services shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions of such Non-Zendesk Services. Zendesk does not endorse, is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations as to any aspect of such Non-Zendesk Services, including, without limitation, their content or the manner in which they handle, protect, manage or process data (including Service Data), or any interaction between Subscriber and the provider of such Non-Zendesk Services. Zendesk cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Non-Zendesk Service features, and may cease enabling access to them without entitling Subscriber to any refund, credit or other compensation, if, for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-Zendesk Service ceases to make the Non-Zendesk Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Service in a manner acceptable to Zendesk. Subscriber irrevocably waives any claim against Zendesk with respect to such Non-Zendesk Services. Zendesk is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with Subscriber’s enablement, access or use of any such Non-Zendesk Services, or Subscriber’s reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or other policies of such Non-Zendesk Services. Subscriber may be required to register for or log into such Non-Zendesk Services on their respective websites. By enabling any Non-Zendesk Services, Subscriber is expressly permitting Zendesk to disclose Subscriber’s login and Service Data to the provider of the Non-Zendesk Service as necessary to facilitate the use or enablement of such Non-Zendesk Services.
SECTION 8. FREE TRIALS
If Subscriber registers for a free trial for any of the Services, Zendesk will make such Services available to Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement as well as the terms and conditions stated at: https://www.zendesk.com/company/agreements-and-terms/free-trial-terms.
SECTION 9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

9.3 Use of Zendesk Marks. Subscriber may only use the Zendesk Marks in a manner permitted by Zendesk’s Trademark Usage Guidelines available on Zendesk’s Intellectual Property Website, provided Subscriber does not attempt, now or in the future, to claim any rights in the Zendesk Marks, dilute or degrade the distinctiveness of the Zendesk Marks, or use the Zendesk Marks to disparage or misrepresent Zendesk or Zendesk Services. Zendesk’s ability to use Subscriber Marks will be set forth in a Service Order or by mutual agreement of the Parties.

10.3 Disclaimers.

SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ZENDESK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY SUBSCRIBER FROM ZENDESK OR THROUGH THE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Indemnification by Zendesk. Zendesk will indemnify and defend the Subscriber from and against any claim brought by a third party against Subscriber alleging that Subscriber’s use of a Service as permitted hereunder infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret (an “IP Claim”). Zendesk shall, at Zendesk’s expense, defend such IP Claim and pay damages finally awarded against Subscriber in connection therewith, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys engaged by Zendesk for such defense, provided that (a) Subscriber promptly notifies Zendesk of the threat or notice of such IP Claim; (b) Zendesk will have sole, exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, defend and/or settle any such IP Claim (however, Zendesk shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by Subscriber without Subscriber’s prior written consent); and (c) Subscriber fully cooperates with Zendesk in connection therewith. If use of a Service by Subscriber, Agents or End-Users has become, or, in Zendesk’s opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, Zendesk may, at Zendesk’s option and expense (i) procure for Subscriber the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (iii) if options (i) or (ii) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by Zendesk, terminate Subscriber’s subscription to the Service(s) and repay Subscriber, on a pro-rata basis, any Subscription Charges paid to Zendesk for the unused portion of Subscriber’s Subscription Term for such Service(s). Zendesk will have no liability or obligation under this Section 11.1 with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (x) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by Subscriber; (y) modification of the Service(s) by anyone other than Zendesk or Zendesk Personnel; or (z) the combination, operation or use of the Service(s) with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing. The provisions of this Section 12.1 state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of Zendesk to Subscriber and Subscriber’s sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by Subscriber, Agents or End-Users.
11.2 Indemnification by Subscriber. Subscriber will indemnify, defend and hold Zendesk harmless against any claim brought by a third party against Zendesk (a) arising from or related to Subscriber, Agents’ or End-Users use of a Service in breach of this Agreement (and not arising solely from the Service itself); or (b) alleging that Subscriber Marks or content selected by Subscriber in the design and implementation of the Services, including but not limited to the URL, graphics, illustrations, logos, and marks, or Service Data infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret; provided that (i) Zendesk promptly notifies Subscriber of the threat or notice of such claim; (ii) Subscriber will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and to defend and/or settle any such claim (however, Subscriber shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by Zendesk without Zendesk’s prior written consent); and (iii) Zendesk fully cooperates with Subscriber in connection therewith.
SECTION 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
12.1 EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) SHALL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA (WHERE SUCH DATA IS LOST IN THE COURSE OF TRANSMISSION VIA SUBSCRIBER’S SYSTEMS OR OVER THE INTERNET THROUGH NO FAULT OF ZENDESK), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COSTS OF COVER OR REPLACEMENT, OR FOR ANY OTHER TYPE OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER INDIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.
12.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE ZENDESK GROUP’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE SUBSCRIBER, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND/OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FEES PAID BY THE RESELLER TO ZENDESK WITH RESPECT TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO SUCH SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 12.2 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FEES, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF ZENDESK WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. ZENDESK HAS RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE SUBSCRIBER WITH THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES AND/OR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ZENDESK’S IP CLAIMS INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 11.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT.
THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ZENDESK’S IP CLAIMS INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 11.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

12.4 Jurisdiction-specific exclusions. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or for a party’s own fraud, willful injury to the person or property of another, or violation of law, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to Subscriber. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, THE ZENDESK GROUP’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
12.5 Enforceable against Zendesk. Any claims or damages that Subscriber may have against Zendesk shall only be enforceable against Zendesk and not any other entity, nor any officers, directors, representatives or agents of Zendesk or any other entity.

We may assign this Agreement to any member of the Zendesk Group or in connection with any merger or change of control of Zendesk or the Zendesk Group or the sale of all or substantially all of Zendesk’s assets provided that any such successor agrees to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. If requested by Zendesk, You must execute a document to give effect to Zendesk’s assignment. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any and all prior agreements between Subscriber and Zendesk, with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall apply in lieu of the terms or conditions in any purchase order, request for information, request for proposal, or other order documentation Subscriber or any entity which Subscriber represents provide(s) and all such terms or conditions in such purchase order, request for information, request for proposal, or other order documentation are null and void. Except as expressly stated herein, there are no other agreements, representations, warranties or commitments which may be relied upon by either Party with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no oral promises, conditions, representations, understandings, interpretations or terms of any kind between the Parties, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein.
