Main Services Agreement

We have updated Zendesk’s Main Services Agreement (formerly called the Master Subscription Agreement). If You are a new Subscriber, this Main Services Agreement is effective as of December 4, 2023. If You are an existing Subscriber, Zendesk is providing You with prior notice of these changes which will be effective as of January 4, 2024. For the previous version of Zendesk’s Main Services Agreement, please click here. For a PDF version of this Main Services Agreement, please click here. If You are acquiring a subscription to a Service operated by Zendesk from an unrelated third party authorized to sell such subscriptions under a separate agreement with Zendesk, the terms of this Main Services Agreement shall be null and void, and the terms and conditions that govern Your access to and use of the Service are found here.

THIS AGREEMENT IS A BINDING CONTRACT AND GOVERNS THE USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICES BY YOU, AGENTS AND END-USERS WHETHER IN CONNECTION WITH A PAID SUBSCRIPTION OR FREE TRIAL FOR THE SERVICES.

By accepting this Agreement, either by accessing or using a Service, or authorizing or permitting any Agent or End-User to access or use a Service, Subscriber agrees to be bound by this Agreement as of the date of such access or use of the Service (the “Effective Date”). If You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company, organization or another legal entity (an “Entity”), You are agreeing to this Agreement for that Entity and representing to Zendesk that You have the authority to bind such Entity and its Affiliates to this Agreement, in which case the terms “Subscriber,” “You,” or “Your” herein refers to such Entity and its Affiliates. If You do not have such authority, or if You do not agree with this Agreement, You must not use or authorize any use of the Services. Subscriber and Zendesk shall each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties” for purposes of this Agreement.

The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms and conditions under which Subscriber may purchase Zendesk’s Services and Professional Services as described in a Service Order, Statement of Work or other document signed or agreed to by the Subscriber.

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Main Services Agreement and the terms of any Service Order or Statement of Work, the terms of the Service Order or Statement of Work shall control. Non-English translations of this Agreement are provided for convenience only. In the event of any ambiguity or conflict between translations, the English version shall control.

General Terms and Conditions

SECTION 1. ACCESS TO THE SERVICES

1.1 Service. Zendesk will make the Services and Service Data available pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Service Order(s) and Documentation in accordance with Subscriber’s Service Plan. 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.

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. Upon Subscriber’s request, Zendesk may provide Professional Services subject to the terms and conditions stated at: https://www.zendesk.com/company/agreements-and-terms/professional-services-terms.

1.4 Modifications. Subscriber acknowledges that Zendesk may modify the features and functionality of the Services during the Subscription Term. Zendesk shall provide Subscriber with thirty (30) days’ advance notice of any deprecation of any material feature or functionality. Zendesk will not materially decrease the overall functionality of the Services purchased by Subscriber during the Subscription Term.

1.5 Additional Features. Zendesk will notify Subscriber 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 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. An Affiliate may also directly purchase Services or Professional Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement provided that such Affiliate (i) executes a Service Order or Statement of Work for such Services or Professional Services; and (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were an original party hereto. Subscriber also agrees that it will be responsible for its Affiliates’ compliance with this Agreement. Subscriber hereby authorises Zendesk to share the content of this Agreement with Subscriber’s Affiliates.

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 licence 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 that provides functionality similar to functionality provided by the Services and which would, pursuant to this Agreement, require an individual Agent Login, if utilising 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. As between Subscriber and Zendesk, 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 unauthorised 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 authorised 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 authorised 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.

2.7 The provision and use of certain Services are subject to Zendesk’s Service-Specific Terms.

2.8 Region-Specific Supplemental Terms. The provision and use of the Services in certain jurisdictions are subject to Zendesk’s Region-Specific Terms.

2.9 In-Product Cookies. Whenever Subscriber, its Agents or End-Users interact with the Services, Zendesk’s In-Product Cookie Policy applies.

SECTION 3. TERM, CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

3.1 Term. The term of this Main Services Agreement begins on the Effective Date and will remain in effect as long as the Subscriber has a valid Service Order/Statement of Work or until this Main Services Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, whichever occurs first. The Subscription Term will be defined in each individual Service Order. Zendesk will provide sixty (60) calendar days’ notice of renewal to Subscriber before the end of the Subscription Term. Unless an Account and subscription to a Service are terminated either by Subscriber or Zendesk in accordance with this Agreement, specifically Section 3.2, or the applicable Service Order, or unless otherwise stated in the applicable Service Order, (a) Subscriber’s subscription to a Service (including any and all Deployed Associated Services) will renew for a Subscription Term equivalent in length to the then-expiring Subscription Term; and (b) the Subscription Charges applicable to any subsequent Subscription Term shall be Zendesk’s Standard Subscription Charges for the applicable Service Plan and Deployed Associated Services at the time of such renewal.

3.2 Cancellation. Either Party may elect to terminate an Account and subscription to a Service at the end of the then-current Subscription Term by providing notice in accordance with Section 18 of this Agreement to revops@zendesk.com no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of such Subscription Term.

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 by the other Party 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 novation 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.

Without prejudice to any applicable rights Subscriber may have under the Australian Consumer Law, Zendesk will refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term as of the effective date of termination if this Agreement is terminated by Subscriber in accordance with this Section for Zendesk’s uncured material breach.

Subscriber must pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term pursuant to all applicable Service Order if Zendesk terminates this Agreement for Subscriber’s material breach in accordance with this Section. In no event will Zendesk’s termination for cause relieve Subscriber of its obligation to pay any fees payable to Zendesk for the period prior to termination.

3.4 Payment Upon Termination. Except for Subscriber’s termination under Section 3.3, and without prejudice to any applicable rights Subscriber may have under the Australian Consumer Law, if Subscriber terminates its subscription to a Service or cancels its Account prior to the end of the then-effective Subscription Term, or if Zendesk terminates or cancels Subscriber’s Account pursuant to Section 3.3, in addition to any other amounts Subscriber may owe Zendesk, Subscriber must immediately pay any and all unpaid Subscription Charges associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term.

3.5 No Refunds. Except for Subscriber’s termination rights under Section 3.3, no refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided if Subscriber terminates a subscription to a Service or cancels its Account prior to the end of a Subscription Term.

3.6 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. BILLING, PLAN MODIFICATIONS AND PAYMENTS

4.1 Payment and Billing. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, a Service Order, a Statement of Work, or in Supplemental Terms, or as otherwise agreed for Usage Charges, all Subscription Charges are due in full upon commencement of the Subscription Term, or with respect to a Deployed Associated Service, at the time such Deployed Associated Service is purchased, subscribed to or otherwise deployed. Subscriber is responsible for providing valid and current payment information and Subscriber agrees to promptly update the Account information, including payment information, with any changes that may occur (for example, a change in Subscriber’s billing address or credit card expiration date). If Subscriber fails to pay Subscription Charges or any other charges indicated on any Service Order or Statement of Work, or in any Supplemental Terms, within five (5) days of Zendesk’s notice to Subscriber that payment is delinquent, or if Subscriber does not update payment information upon Zendesk’s request, in addition to other remedies, Zendesk may suspend access to and use of the Services by Subscriber, Agents and End-Users. As permitted by applicable law, Zendesk reserves the right to charge the Subscriber late payment penalties or interest charges on any past-due invoices that are not subject to a previously-noticed good faith dispute as to amount owed.

4.2 Upgrades. If Subscriber chooses to upgrade the Service Plan or increase the number of Agents authorised to access and use a Service during the Subscription Term, any incremental Subscription Charges associated with such upgrade will be charged in accordance with the remaining Subscription Term. In any subsequent Subscription Term, the Subscription Charges will reflect any such upgrades.

4.3 Downgrades. Subscriber may not downgrade its Service Plan or reduce the number of Agents during any Subscription Term. Subscriber may only downgrade its Service Plan or reduce the number of Agents under any Service Plan for a subsequent Subscription Term at the end of the then-current Subscription Term by providing Zendesk with thirty (30) days prior written notice indicating which instances will be affected and the details of the downgrade requested. In the event of a downgrade, Subscriber must demote any downgraded Agents prior to the beginning of the subsequent Subscription Term. Downgrading the Service Plan may generate additional costs (e.g., storage costs) and cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to Subscriber under an Account, and Zendesk is not responsible for such loss. If a new Service Order is not signed by the Subscriber before the end of the then-current Subscription Term, the Services will renew as defined in Section 3.1.

4.4 Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Zendesk’s Subscription Charges do not include any Taxes. Subscriber is responsible for paying Taxes assessed in connection with the subscription to the Services except those assessable against the Zendesk Group measured by its net income. Zendesk will invoice the Subscriber for such Taxes if Zendesk believes it has a legal obligation to do so and Subscriber agrees to pay such Taxes if so invoiced. Zendesk agrees to exempt Subscriber from any taxes for which Subscriber provides to Zendesk a tax exemption certificate prior to the issuance of an invoice; provided, however, that no such exemption shall be extended to Subscriber following written notice to Zendesk from a taxing authority of appropriate jurisdiction that Subscriber does not qualify for the claimed exemption.

4.4.1 If the Subscriber is required to withhold Taxes from payments to Zendesk, Subscriber shall pay Zendesk the amount owing on the invoice, less a deduction for such Taxes withheld to be remitted directly by the Subscriber to the relevant tax authority. Subscriber will provide Zendesk with a valid receipt for such Taxes remitted to the relevant tax authority within 75 (seventy-five) days of Subscriber’s payment to Zendesk from which the withholding was made. If Subscriber does not provide the valid receipt for such Taxes remitted within 75 days, Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that it will be charged and will have to pay for the full amount of the invoice.

4.4.2 If the Subscriber is legally required to withhold Taxes from payments to Zendesk but fail to do so and pay an invoice in full, Subscriber may be entitled to reimbursement of the Taxes which should have been withheld. Such reimbursement can only be made in the first year following payment of the relevant invoice to Zendesk, once the Subscriber provides Zendesk with a valid receipt for the Taxes remitted to the relevant tax authority in respect of that invoice.

4.5 Payment Agent. If Subscriber pays by credit card or certain other payment instruments, the Services provide an interface for the Account owner to change credit card information (e.g., upon card renewal). Payments made by credit card, debit card or certain other payment instruments for the Zendesk Service are billed and processed by Zendesk’s Payment Agent. Subscriber hereby authorises the Payment Agent to bill Subscriber’s credit card or other payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the Service Plan for the Services, and for periodic Subscription Charges applicable to Deployed Associated Services to which Subscriber subscribes until the subscription to the Services terminates, and Subscriber further agrees to pay any Subscription Charges so incurred. If applicable, Subscriber hereby authorises Zendesk and the Payment Agent to charge Subscriber’s credit card or other payment instrument to establish prepaid credit. The Account owner will receive a receipt upon each acceptance of payment by the Payment Agent, or they may obtain a receipt from within the Services to track subscription status. To the extent the Payment Agent is not Zendesk, the Payment Agent is acting solely as a billing and processing agent for and on behalf of Zendesk and shall not be construed to be providing the applicable Service. The Payment Agent uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Subscriber’s billing information except to process Subscriber’s credit card information for the Payment Agent.

4.6 Payment Portals. If Subscriber mandates Zendesk to use a vendor payment portal or compliance portal that charges Zendesk a subscription fee or a percentage of any uploaded invoice as a required cost of doing business, Subscriber shall be invoiced by Zendesk for, and Subscriber is obligated to pay, the cost of this fee.

4.7 Promotional Credits. Any promotional credits issued hereunder will be subject to the Zendesk Promotional Credits Policy available on the Zendesk Agreements and Terms Website.

SECTION 5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

In connection with the Services, each Party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorised 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 5 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 6. SUB-PROCESSORS AND SECURITY OF SERVICE DATA

6.1 Sub-processors. Zendesk will utilise 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.

6.2 Third-Party Service Providers. Zendesk may use third-party service providers that are utilised 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 utilised by the Zendesk Group will be subject to confidentiality obligations which are substantially similar to the confidentiality terms herein. Zendesk shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of members of Zendesk’s third-party service providers to the same extent that Zendesk would be responsible if Zendesk was performing the services of each third-party service provider directly under the terms of this Agreement.

6.3 Safeguards. The Zendesk Group will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data for Enterprise Services in accordance with the Enterprise Security Measures described at “How We Protect Your Service Data (Enterprise Services)”; for Innovation Services in accordance with the Innovation Security Measures described at “How We Protect Your Service Data (Innovation Services)”; as well as in accordance with Supplemental Terms for any Deployed Associated Services, as applicable. 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.

6.4 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. To improve Zendesk machine learning functionality, Zendesk models will only be trained on Service Data which has been subject to de-identification processes.

6.5 Agent Contact Information. Zendesk shall be the Data Controller of Agent Contact Information, and shall process such Agent Contact Information in accordance with Zendesk’s Privacy Notice and Zendesk’s Controller Global Binding Corporate Rules located at https://www.zendesk.com/privacy/ and https://www.zendesk.com/trust-center/. Subscriber is responsible for informing its Agents of their rights set forth in Zendesk’s Privacy Notice. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has obtained all relevant consents, permissions and rights and provided all relevant notices necessary under applicable data protection laws for Zendesk to lawfully proceAgent Contact Information as an independent Controller for the purposes set forth in Zendesk’s Privacy Notice.

6.6 Data Processing Agreement. The Data Processing Agreement, US State Addendum, and/or any other Zendesk-provided privacy terms located at https://www.zendesk.com/trust-center/ shall be incorporated by reference herein into this Agreement once signed by the Parties.

SECTION 7. 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 8. 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 9. FREE TRIALS

If Subscriber registers for a free trial for any of the Services, Zendesk will make such Services available to Subscriber pursuant to the terms and conditions stated at: https://www.zendesk.com/company/agreements-and-terms/free-trial-terms.

SECTION 10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

10.1 Intellectual Property Rights. Each Party shall retain all rights, title and interest in any of its respective Intellectual Property Rights. The rights granted to Subscriber, Agents and End-Users to use the Service(s) under this Agreement do not convey any additional rights in the Service(s) or in any Intellectual Property Rights of Zendesk associated therewith. Subject only to limited rights to access and use the Service(s) as expressly stated herein, all rights, title and interest in and to the Services and all hardware, Software and other components of or used to provide the Services and Zendesk’s machine learning algorithms, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, will remain with Zendesk and belong exclusively to Zendesk.

The Zendesk Group also reserves the right to seek intellectual property protection for any features, functionality or components that may be based on or that were initiated by suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback regarding the Services that Zendesk receives from Subscriber, Agents, End-Users, or other third parties acting on Subscriber’s behalf.

10.3 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.

For any breach of a warranty in this section, and subject to any additional rights Subscriber may have under the Australian Consumer Law, Subscriber’s exclusive remedies are those described in Section 3.3 herein. The warranties herein do not apply to any misuse or unauthorised modification of the Services made by Subscriber, its Agents or its End-Users.

THEY ARE ALSO ENTITLED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR ANY OTHER REASONABLY FORESEEABLE LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM A MAJOR FAILURE OF THE SERVICES. IF THE FAILURE DOES NOT AMOUNT TO A MAJOR FAILURE, SUBSCRIBER IS ENTITLED TO HAVE THE SERVICE RECTIFIED IN A REASONABLE TIME AND, IF THIS IS NOT OR CANNOT BE DONE, TO CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND OBTAIN A REFUND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM.

SECTION 12. INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 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 counsel engaged by Zendesk for such defence, 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 defence counsel, 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 12.1 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.

12.2 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 defence counsel, 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 13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

13.1 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.

13.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT BUT WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO ANY APPLICABLE RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW, 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 SUBSCRIBER 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 13.2 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 13.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ZENDESK’S IP CLAIMS INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 12.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT, NOR DO WE EXCLUDE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES THAT MAY BE APPLICABLE TO YOU UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW WHICH CANNOT BE CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDED OR RESTRICTED.

13.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN THE AGGREGATE. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN APPLIES IN AGGREGATE TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BY SUBSCRIBER AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

13.4 Jurisdiction-specific exclusions. Some jurisdictions, including Australia, 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 (including the Australian Consumer 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.

13.5 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.

SECTION 14. NOVATION, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT

14.1 Novation. Except as permitted herein, neither party may, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, novate all or any part of this Agreement or rights under this Agreement, or delegate performance of its duties under this Agreement, without written prior consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) subject to Section 2.6 herein, Subscriber may, without Zendesk’s consent, novate this Agreement to an Affiliate or in connection with any merger or change of control of Subscriber or the sale of all or substantially all of Subscriber’s assets, provided that (i) any such successor agrees to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Novation, and (ii) Subscriber and the assignee execute Zendesk’s Assignment Form; and (b) Zendesk may novate this Agreement without Subscriber’s consent 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, Subscriber must execute a novation to give effect to Zendesk’s novation.

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.

14.3 Amendment. Zendesk may amend this Agreement from time to time, in which case the new Agreement will supersede prior versions. Zendesk will notify the Subscriber not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such amendment and Subscriber’s continued use of the Services following the effective date of any such amendment may be relied upon by Zendesk as Subscriber’s consent to any such amendment. Zendesk’s failure to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 15. SEVERABILITY

If any term in this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a competent court or governing body, such term shall be replaced with another term consistent with the purpose and intent of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

Each Party represents that it (nor its parents or controlling shareholders) is not named on (nor directly or indirectly owned 50% or greater, in the aggregate, or otherwise controlled by, a person or persons named on) any U.S. government or other applicable restricted-party list, and Subscriber will not, and will not permit any Agent or End-User to: (a) access or use any Service in a U.S.-embargoed or U.S.-sanctioned country or region, (e.g., Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine, or any other country or region embargoed or sanctioned during the Subscription Term); (b) access or use any Service if Subscriber, Agent, or End-User is named on (or directly or indirectly owned 50% or greater, in the aggregate, or otherwise controlled by, a person or persons named on) any U.S. government or other applicable restricted-party list; (c) place any information in the Services that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or other similar laws; or (d) access or use any Service for any purpose prohibited by the United States or applicable international import and export laws and regulations.
