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.

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.
