2.7 As between You and Zendesk, You are responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by Agents and End-Users and for any and all activities that occur under Your Account. Without limiting the foregoing, You are solely responsible for ensuring that the use of the Services to store and transmit Service Data is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations as well as any and all privacy policies, agreements or other obligations You may maintain or enter into with Agents or End-Users. You also maintain all responsibility for determining whether the Services or the information generated thereby is accurate or sufficient for Your purposes. Subject to any limitation on the number of individual Agents available under the applicable Service Plan(s) to which You subscribed or applicable Deployed Associated Service, access to and use of the Services is restricted to the specified number of individual Agents permitted under Your subscription to the applicable Service. You agree and acknowledge that each Agent will be identified by a unique username and password (“Login”) and that an Agent Login may only be used by one (1) individual. Traditional or full-time Agent subscriptions are for designated individuals only and a Login cannot be shared or used by more than one individual but may be reassigned to new individuals replacing former individuals who no longer require ongoing use of the Services. You and Your Agents are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Login information for Your Account. You agree and acknowledge that You 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) absent a license from Us otherwise, Processes data related to interactions originating from a 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. Zendesk reserves the right to periodically verify that Your use of the Zendesk Services complies with the Agreement and the Service Plan features and limitations on Our Site including, without limitation, by assuming into Your Account. Should Zendesk discover that Your use of a Zendesk Service is not in compliance with this Agreement or the Service Plan features and limitations on Our Site, Zendesk reserves the right to charge You, and You hereby agree to pay for, said usage in addition to other remedies available to Us.

2.8 In addition to Our rights as set forth in Sections 2 and 8.4, We reserve the right, in Our reasonable discretion, to temporarily suspend Your access to and use of a Service if We suspect or detect any Malicious Software connected to Your Account or use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users.

Please review the applicable Documentation during the trial period so that You become familiar with the features and functions of the Services under applicable Service Plans before You make Your purchase.

ANY SERVICE DATA YOU ENTER INTO A SERVICE, AND ANY CONFIGURATIONS OR CUSTOMIZATIONS MADE TO A SERVICE BY OR FOR YOU, DURING YOUR FREE TRIAL WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST UNLESS YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SAME SERVICE AS COVERED BY THE TRIAL, PURCHASE THE APPLICABLE SERVICE, OR EXPORT SUCH SERVICE DATA, BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL PERIOD.

Beta Services are not considered “Services” under this Agreement; however, all restrictions, Our reservation of rights and Your obligations concerning the Service, and use of any Third Party Services shall apply equally to Your use of Beta Services. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available without the applicable Beta Services designation. We may discontinue Beta Services at any time in Our sole discretion and may never make them generally available. We will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Service.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY; SECURITY AND PRIVACY

3.1 Subject to the express permissions of this Agreement, each Party will protect each other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure in the same manner as each 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 each other’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. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall control over any non-disclosure agreement by and between the Parties and such agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to the exchange of Confidential Information after the acceptance of this Agreement. To be clear, any exchange of Confidential Information prior to the acceptance of this Agreement shall continue to be governed by such non-disclosure agreement.

3.2 The Zendesk Group will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data, as described in the Agreement, the Supplemental Terms entitled, “How We Protect Your Service Data” attached hereto, and Supplemental Terms for the Deployed Associated Services, as applicable. Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures for preventing access, use, modification or disclosure of Service Data by Personnel except (a) to provide the Services and prevent or address service, support or technical problems; (b) as compelled by law in accordance with Sections 3.1(b) or 3.1(c); (c) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4; or (d) as You expressly permit in writing. The Zendesk Group’s compliance with the provisions of Sections 3.2 through 3.5 and the Security Measures set forth in Exhibit B, Section 2 (“How We Protect Your Service Data”) shall be deemed compliance with the Zendesk’s Group’s obligations to protect Service Data as set forth in the Agreement.

3.3 To the extent Service Data constitutes Personal Data, You and the Zendesk Group hereby agree that You shall be deemed to be the Data Controller and the relevant entity in the Zendesk Group Party shall be deemed to be the Data Processor as those terms are understood under the Applicable Data Protection Law. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to by Zendesk, Service Data may be hosted by the Zendesk Group or their respective authorized third-party service providers in the United States, the EEA or other locations around the world. In providing the Services, Zendesk will engage entities within the Zendesk Group and other authorized service providers, to Process Service Data, including and without limitation, any associated Personal Data pursuant to this Agreement within the EEA, the United States and in other countries and territories. Under no circumstances will any entity in the Zendesk Group be deemed a Data Controller with respect to Service Data under Applicable Data Protection Law or any relevant law or regulation of any Member State as defined in Applicable Data Protection Law.

3.4 As between the Parties, all Service Data Processed under the terms of this Agreement shall remain the property of Subscriber. Except for where Zendesk collects (i) the contact information of Your Agents, which may include Personal Data, in the ordinary course of Us providing the Services to You; and (ii) Personal Data about visitors to Our Site, under no circumstances will We act, or be deemed to act, as a “controller” (or equivalent concept) of the Service Data Processed within the Service under Applicable Data Protection Law. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber shall be considered the Data Controller of all End-User Personal Data under Applicable Data Protection Law.

3.5 If Personal Data originates from an Agent or End-User in the EEA, We will ensure, pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Law, to the extent that any Service Data constitutes Personal Data, if Service Data is transferred to a country or territory outside of the EEA (a “non-EEA country”), such transfer will only take place if: (a) the non-EEA country in question ensures an adequate level of data protection; (b) one of the conditions listed in Article 26(1) of Directive 95/46/EC (or its equivalent under any successor legislation) is satisfied; (c) done so on the basis of Zendesk’s approved binding corporate rules known as the Zendesk Binding Corporate Rules (“Zendesk’s BCRs”) which establish adequate protection of such personal information and are legally binding on the Zendesk Group (Zendesk’s BCRs can be accessed here and here); or (d) the transfer takes place pursuant to the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks. Upon Your request and subject to Your entry into Zendesk’s DPA, We will further ensure that the transfer is subject to the standard contractual clauses designed to facilitate transfers of Personal Data from the EEA to all third countries that have been adopted by the European Commission, which have been incorporated into the DPA. As a Subscriber, You can execute Our DPA by emailing privacy@zendesk.com.

3.6 You agree that the Zendesk Group and the third-party service providers that are utilized by the Zendesk Group to assist in providing the Services to You shall have the right to access Your Account and to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, display and disclose Service Data and the Personal Data of Your Agents to the extent necessary to provide or improve the Services, including, without limitation, in response to Your support requests. Any third-party service providers utilized by the Zendesk Group will only be given access to Your Account and Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services and will be subject to (a) confidentiality obligations which are commercially reasonable and substantially consistent with the standards described in Sections 3.1 and 3.2; and (b) their agreement to comply with the data transfer restrictions applicable to Personal Data as set forth in Section 3.4. An up-to-date list of the names and locations of all Sub-Processors used for the Processing of Personal Data under this Agreement is available here.

3.7 Whenever You, Your Agents or End-Users interact with Our Services, We automatically receive and record information on Our server logs from the browser or device, which may include IP address, “cookie” information, and the type of browser and/or device being used to access the Services, as further described here. “Cookies” are identifiers We transfer to the browser or device of Your Agents or End-Users that allow Us to recognize Agent or End-User and their browser or device along with how Our Services are being utilized. When We collect this information, We only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify Your Agents or End-Users personally. For example, this aggregate data can tell Us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and We can use that knowledge to improve the Services.

3.8 We receive and store any information that You knowingly provide to Us. For example, through the registration process for Our Services and/or through Your Account settings, We may collect Personal Data such as name, email address, phone number, credit card information and third-party account credentials (for example, log-in credentials for Third Party Services that integrate with the Service(s) as further detailed in Section 3.10) of You and Your Agents. We base the Processing of Personal Data of Your Agents on Our legitimate interest under Applicable Data Protection Law, to provide You with the necessary functionality required during Your use of the Service(s). In addition, We may communicate with You and Your Agents, send You and Your Agents product announcements and promotional offers, or contact You and Your Agents about the Service(s). If You or an Agent does not want to receive communications from Us, please indicate this preference by sending an email to privacy@zendesk.com and provide Us with the name and email address of each Agent that no longer wishes to receive these communications.

3.9 We never sell, rent, or lease Your Service Data to any third party. We do not share Your Service Data with third parties, except as permitted by Section 3 of this Agreement and in order to provide and support the Services. The Parties agree that We may, however, share aggregated and/or anonymized information regarding Your use of the Service(s) with third parties for marketing purposes and as described in this Section, to the extent it is necessary for Our legitimate interest under Applicable Data Protection Law, in developing and improving the Service(s) and providing You with more relevant content and service offerings. To be clear, We never disclose aggregated and/or anonymized information to a third party in a manner that would identify You as the source of the information or Your Agents or End-Users personally.

3.9.1 Zendesk Benchmark. You have the choice whether to enable Zendesk Benchmark from within the settings in the Services, to the extent this is necessary for our legitimate interest. If You do not wish to participate in Zendesk Benchmark then You should not opt-in to Zendesk Benchmark. If enabled, Zendesk Benchmark aggregates and anonymizes the Personal Data of Your Agents and Service Data and publishes this information, segmented by industry, geography, and other metrics, in order to provide qualitative insights on customer support metrics and other relevant insights. Zendesk may use Zendesk Benchmark for the Zendesk Group’s own marketing purposes, to the extent it is necessary for Our legitimate interest under Applicable Data Protection Law in developing and improving the Service(s) and providing You with more relevant content and service offerings.

3.9.2 Improving the Services. We consistently endeavor to improve Our Services. In doing so, We use analytics techniques to better understand how Our Service(s) are being used as detailed below.

(i) Usage Data. We may engage third party analytics providers to collect metrics and information regarding Your use of the Service(s), including evaluating how Agents and End-Users use the Services (“Usage Data”). To be clear, when Zendesk uses Usage Data, any Personal Data that was included in Service Data shall be anonymized and/or aggregated in such a manner that it no longer constitutes Service Data or Personal Data under Applicable Data Protection Law. Usage Data is used to develop new features or improve existing features, inform future sales and marketing strategies and to market and sell the Services. The third party analytics providers will not share or otherwise disclose Usage Data, although Zendesk may make Usage Data publicly available from time to time. We base the Processing of Usage Data on Our legitimate interest to analyze trends in order to assess and improve the overall user experience in the Service(s) to the extent it is necessary for Our legitimate interest under Applicable Data Protection Law.

(ii) Zendesk uses Service Data in an anonymized manner, such as conversion to numerical value, for the training of the machine learning models to support certain features and functionality within the Service(s).

3.10 In the event that You decide to use a Third Party Service or You log into Our Services through a third party social media or authentication service, or otherwise provide Us with access to information from such third party social media or authentication services, Zendesk may obtain other information, including Personal Data, from third parties and combine that with information We collect through Our Services. Any access that We may have to such information from a third party social or authentication service is in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by that service. By authorizing Us to connect with a Third Party Service, You authorize Us to access and store Your name, email address(es), current city, profile picture URL, and any other Personal Data that the Third Party Service makes available to Us, and to use and disclose it in accordance with this Agreement and the Zendesk Privacy Policy in effect from time to time and available here. We base the Processing of the Personal Data of Your Agents on Our legitimate interest under Applicable Data Protection Law, to provide You with the necessary functionality required during Your use of Our Service(s).

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Each Party shall retain all rights, title and interest in and to all its respective patents, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, know-how and any other intellectual property and/or proprietary rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”). The rights granted to You, 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 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, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, will remain with Zendesk and belong exclusively to Zendesk.

5. THIRD PARTY SERVICES

If You decide to enable, access or use Third Party Services, be advised that Your access and use of such Third Party Services are governed solely by the terms and conditions of such Third Party Services, and We do not endorse, are not responsible or liable for, and make no representations as to any aspect of such Third Party 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 You and the provider of such Third Party Services. We cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Third Party Service features, and may cease enabling access to them without entitling You to any refund, credit, or compensation, if, for example and without limitation, the provider of a Third Party Service ceases to make the Third Party Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Service in a manner acceptable to Us. You irrevocably waive any claim against Zendesk with respect to such Third Party Services. We are not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with Your enablement, access or use of any such Third Party Services, or Your reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or other policies of such Third Party Services.

6. BILLING, PLAN MODIFICATIONS AND PAYMENTS

6.1 Unless otherwise indicated on an Order Form or SOW referencing this Agreement or in the Supplemental Terms or as otherwise agreed for Usage Charges, and subject to Section 6.2, all charges associated with Your access to and use of a Service (“Subscription Charges”) are due in full upon commencement of Your Subscription Term, or, with respect to a Deployed Associated Service, at the time such Deployed Associated Service is purchased, subscribed to or otherwise deployed. If You fail to pay Your Subscription Charges or other charges indicated on any Order Form within five (5) business days of Our notice to You that payment is delinquent, or if You do not update payment information upon Our request, in addition to Our other remedies, We may suspend or terminate access to and use of such Service by You, Agents and End-Users. “Usage Charges” means additional Subscription Charges that are incurred by Subscriber related to the use of certain features and functionality that Subscriber enables within the Service.

6.2 If You choose to upgrade Your Service Plan or increase the number of Agents authorized to access and use a Service during Your Subscription Term (a “Subscription Upgrade”), any incremental Subscription Charges associated with such Subscription Upgrade will be prorated over the remaining period of Your then current Subscription Term, charged to Your Account and due and payable upon implementation of such Subscription Upgrade. In any future Subscription Term, Your Subscription Charges will reflect any such Subscription Upgrades.

6.3 No refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You if You elect to downgrade Your Service Plan. Downgrading Your Service Plan may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to You under Your Account, and Zendesk does not accept any liability for such loss.

6.4 Unless otherwise stated, Our charges do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying Taxes, except those assessable against the Zendesk Group measured by its net income. We will invoice You for such Taxes if We believe We have a legal obligation to do so and You agree to pay such Taxes if so invoiced.

6.5 If You pay 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). 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. You hereby authorize the Payment Agent to bill Your 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 You subscribe until Your subscription to the Services terminates, and You further agree to pay any Subscription Charges so incurred. If applicable, You hereby authorize Zendesk and the Payment Agent to charge Your credit card or other payment instrument to establish such prepaid credit. You agree to promptly update Your Account information with any changes (for example, a change in Your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. The Payment Agent uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Your billing information except to process Your credit card information for the Payment Agent.

6.6 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. 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.

6.7 If You mandate Zendesk use a vendor payment portal or compliance portal which charges Zendesk a subscription fee or a percentage of any uploaded invoice as a required cost of doing business, You shall be invoiced by Zendesk for, and You are obligated to pay, the cost of this fee.

7. PROMOTIONAL CREDITS POLICY

We may, at Our sole discretion, choose to offer credits for the Services in various ways, including but not limited to, coupons, promotional campaigns and referrals for Zendesk services such as training. Zendesk reserves the right to award credits at its sole discretion. Credits have no monetary or cash value and can only be used by You to offset Your subsequent payments of Subscription Charges for the applicable Service. Credits may only be applied to Subscription Charges due for the Service specifically identified by Zendesk when issuing the credit. Credits can only be used by You and are non-transferable. To the extent that You have been awarded credits, unless the instrument (including any coupon) states an earlier expiration date, credits shall expire and no longer be redeemable twelve (12) months from the date the credit was issued.

8. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

8.1 Either Party may elect to terminate Your Account and subscription to a Service as of the end of Your then current Subscription Term by providing notice, in accordance with this Agreement, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of such Subscription Term. Unless Your Account and subscription to a Service is so terminated, Your 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. Unless otherwise provided for in an Order Form, the Subscription Charges applicable to Your subscription to a Service for any such subsequent Subscription Term shall be Our standard Subscription Charges for the Service Plan and Deployed Associated Services to which You have subscribed or which You have deployed, as applicable, as of the time such subsequent Subscription Term commences.

8.2 Except for Your termination rights under Section 8.5, no refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You if You elect to terminate Your subscription to the Service or cancel Your Account prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term.

8.3 Except for Your termination under Section 8.5, if You terminate Your subscription to a Service or cancel Your Account prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term or We effect such termination or cancellation pursuant to Sections 8.4 and 8.5, in addition to other amounts You may owe Zendesk, You must immediately pay any then unpaid Subscription Charges associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term. This amount will not be payable by You in the event You terminate Your subscription to a Service or cancel Your Account as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by Zendesk.

8.4 We reserve the right to restrict functionality, suspend or terminate the Services (or any part thereof), Your Account or Your and/or Agents’ or End-Users’ rights to access and use the Services, and remove, disable and quarantine any Service Data if We reasonably believe that You, Agents or End-Users have violated this Agreement. This right includes the removal or disablement of Service Data in accordance with Our Copyright Infringement Notice and Takedown Policy available at www.zendesk.com/company/trademark-property/dmca/. Unless legally prohibited from doing so, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact You directly via email to notify You when taking any of the foregoing actions. We shall not be liable to You, Agents, End-Users or any other third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuation of Your rights to access and use the Services. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity by You, Agents or End-Users may be referred to law enforcement authorities at Our sole discretion.

8.5 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 at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of the breaching Party’s 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. If this Agreement is terminated by You in accordance with this section, We will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, refund You any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Us in accordance with this section, You will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term pursuant to all applicable Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees payable to Us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

8.6 Upon request by You made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, We will make Service Data available to You for export or download as provided in the Documentation. After such 30-day period, We will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Service Data, and, as provided in the Documentation, will delete all copies of Service Data in Our possession or control in accordance with Our Data Deletion Policy, unless prohibited by law.

9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

9.1 Each Party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.

9.2 We warrant that during an applicable Subscription Term (a) this Agreement and the Documentation will accurately describe the applicable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data; and (b) the Services will perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation. For any breach of a warranty above, Your exclusive remedies are those described in Section 8.5 herein.

9.3 EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.2, THE SITES AND THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL SERVER AND NETWORK COMPONENTS, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO 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 YOU FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) WILL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA, (BEING DATA LOST IN THE COURSE OF TRANSMISSION VIA YOUR SYSTEMS OR OVER THE INTERNET THROUGH NO FAULT OF ZENDESK), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COSTS OF COVER OR REPLACEMENT, OR FOR ANY TYPE OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR CONSULTING SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.

10.2 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE ZENDESK GROUP’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, ANY AFFILIATE, OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR CONSULTING SERVICES, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND/OR CONSULTING FEES PAID BY YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 10.2 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND CONSULTING FEES, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF WE WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. WE HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES AND/OR CONSULTING SERVICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN WILL APPLY IN AGGREGATE TO SUBSCRIBER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

10.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or personal injury or death, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to You. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, THE ZENDESK GROUP’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10.4 Any claims or damages that You may have against Zendesk shall only be enforceable against Zendesk and not any other entity or its officers, directors, representatives or agents.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 We will indemnify and hold You harmless from and against any claim brought by a third party against You by reason of Your use of a Service as permitted hereunder, alleging that such Service infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret (an “IP Claim”). We shall, at Our expense, defend such IP Claim and pay damages finally awarded against You in connection therewith, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the attorneys engaged by Zendesk for such defense, provided that (a) You promptly notify Zendesk of the threat or notice of such IP Claim; (b) We will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such IP Claim; and (c) You fully cooperate with Zendesk in connection therewith. If use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users has become, or, in Our opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, We may, at Our option and expense, (d) procure for You the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (e) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (f) if options (d) or (e) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by Zendesk, terminate Your subscription to the Service(s) and repay You, on a pro-rata basis, any Subscription Charges previously paid to Zendesk for the corresponding unused portion of Your Subscription Term for such Service(s). We 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 (i) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by You; (ii) modification of the Service(s) by anyone other than Zendesk; or (iii) 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 11.1 state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of Zendesk to You and constitute Your sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users.

11.2 You will indemnify and hold Zendesk harmless against any claim (i) arising from or related to use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users in breach of this Agreement; or (ii) alleging that Your use of the Service or Your Service Data infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret; provided (a) We promptly notify You of the threat or notice of such claim; (b) You will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such claim (however, You shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by Us without Our prior written consent); and (c) We fully cooperate with You in connection therewith.

12. ASSIGNMENT, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT

12.1 You may not, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, assign all or any part of this Agreement or Your rights under this Agreement or delegate performance of Your duties under this Agreement without Our prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. We may, without Your consent, 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 Our assets provided that any such successor agrees to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 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.

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.

12.3 We may amend this Agreement from time to time, in which case the new Agreement will supersede prior versions. We will notify You not less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such amendment and Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of any such amendment may be relied upon by Zendesk as Your consent to any such amendment. Our 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.

13. SEVERABILITY

If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as to best accomplish the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SECTION 1: SERVICE-SPECIFIC TERMS

The terms and conditions in the Section entitled, “General Terms and Conditions” (“General Terms”) apply generally to all Services. This section contains supplemental service-specific terms that are in addition to the General Terms.

Supplemental Terms for Zendesk’s Support (”Zendesk Support“) and Chat Services (“Zendesk Chat”):

If Your Service Plan allows You to use Zendesk Support or Zendesk Chat or You otherwise subscribe to or utilize Zendesk Support or Zendesk Chat as a Service, the following Supplemental Terms apply:

If You are accessing and using Zendesk Support or Zendesk Chat in connection with an integration to a third party messaging platform (e.g. Facebook Messenger), You hereby acknowledge that such messaging platforms are Third Party Services and certify that You have agreed to the terms of service that such third party uses to govern the use of their platform. If You use such Third Party Service functionality, You hereby represent that You have provided notice to and received all necessary consents from Your End-Users to contact such End-Users using Zendesk Support or Zendesk Chat and/or the Third Party Services You enable within Your Account. Further, You agree that Your Service Data may be transferred to and processed by the Third Party services that You enable in Zendesk Support or Zendesk Chat as necessary to provide the Service.

You agree not to use any functionality of Zendesk Support or Zendesk Chat that integrates with third party messaging platforms to (i) facilitate conversations between End-Users and healthcare providers; or (ii) to send or collect any patient data obtained from healthcare providers.

Zendesk reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate any Chat Lite accounts that have been inactive for thirty (30) or more days and re-assign the subdomain(s) associated with such terminated Chat Lite account.

If Your Service Plan for Zendesk Support allows You to use Zendesk Talk or You otherwise subscribe to or utilize Zendesk Talk as a Service, the following Supplemental Terms apply:

You understand and agree that (a) Zendesk Talk is not intended to support or carry emergency calls to any emergency services, such as public safety answering points; (b) We will not be held liable for any claim, damages or loss (and You hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action), arising from or relating to Your (or Agents’ or End-Users’) inability to use Zendesk Talk to make such emergency calls; (c) You are solely responsible for Your operation of Zendesk Talk (including the available texting functionality) in compliance with all applicable laws in all jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, telephone recording and wiretapping laws and laws related to telemarketing and spam, such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; and (d) You will defend, hold harmless and indemnify Us from and against any third party claim arising from any of the foregoing.

At Zendesk’s election, Subscription Charges and Usage Charges for Zendesk Talk may be charged in arrears or by requiring You to prepay for expected usage. To the extent that You have or are required to prepay for expected usage of Zendesk Talk, Your credit card will automatically be charged with the same amount and by the same payment method chosen when You first establish a prepaid credit for Zendesk Talk, or by such additional amount You request as a regular prepaid credit.

If You prepay for Zendesk Talk via check, wire, or ACH, Zendesk reserves the right to automatically re-invoice You for the same amount as the previous prepayment amount if Your balance approaches $0.00. If You wishes to cancel or change this automatic recharge option, then You should contact Your Sales Representative or support@zendesk.com. Talk usage credits will expire one (1) year from the date of purchase if unused at that time.

If Your Zendesk Talk Service Plan includes Zendesk Text, then You agree that only Your Agents who have purchased both Zendesk Talk and Zendesk Text are authorized to use Zendesk Text. Zendesk reserves the right to monitor and periodically audit Your use of Zendesk Talk and Zendesk Text to ensure that Your use complies with this Agreement and the Zendesk Talk Service Plan restrictions on Our Site. Should Zendesk discover that Your or any Agent’s use of Zendesk Talk or Zendesk Text is not in compliance with the Agreement and the Zendesk Talk Service Plan restrictions on Our Site, Zendesk reserves the right to charge You, and You hereby agree to pay for, said usage in addition to other remedies available to Us.

Use of Zendesk Talk and the related functionality is subject to the obligation to pay applicable Usage Charges, Subscription Charges and other applicable charges stated here. By enabling or otherwise using Zendesk Talk, You are agreeing to pay these fees. Usage Charges are subject to change and may be revised by Zendesk at any time. Any changes to the list price of Usage Charges will be made across all Subscribers and will not be targeted towards individual Subscribers.

Some jurisdictions may require that You have an address within the jurisdiction or provide additional documentation to purchase a phone number within the jurisdiction through Zendesk Talk. If You are in such a jurisdiction, You agree to provide this information as reasonably requested by Zendesk. You further authorize Zendesk to disclose the provided information to Our third party voice service provider, Twilio, Inc. (“Twilio”), any necessary governmental agency and the telecommunications carrier generating the phone number. Such information will be considered Confidential Information under this Agreement (subject to Your consent to share it with the listed third parties above).

Subscription Charges for certain Zendesk Guide features may be charged in arrears or require You to prepay for expected consumption. Unless an earlier expiration date is communicated to You at time of purchase, Consumption Capacity will expire and no longer be redeemable at the end of the time period to which the Consumption Capacity is allocated. If Your Account reaches a Consumption Capacity limit during the applicable time period, the functionality of the relevant feature will not be available in Your Account until the beginning of the next time period unless You purchase additional Consumption Capacity by upgrading to a higher Service Plan or have otherwise agreed to a different overage pricing model which allows You to continue to use the feature and pay for such additional use.

Supplemental Terms for Zendesk’s Connect Service (“Zendesk Connect”):

2. End-User Consent

You hereby represent that You have provided notice to and received all necessary consents from Your End-Users to contact them using Zendesk Connect.

3. Third Party Services

Zendesk Connect provides functionality that allows You to enable Third Party Services within Zendesk Connect to send campaigns to End-Users through the Third Party Service. If You are accessing and using Zendesk Connect in connection with an integration to a Third Party Service, You hereby acknowledge that such providers are Third Party Services and certify that You have agreed to the terms of service that such third party uses to govern use of their platform. If You use such Third Party Services, You hereby represent that You have provided notice to and received all necessary consents from Your End-Users to contact such End-Users using Zendesk Connect and/or the Third Party Services You enable within Your Account. Further, You agree that Your Service Data may be transferred to and processed by the Third Party Service that You enable in Zendesk Connect as necessary to provide the Service.

SECTION 2: HOW WE PROTECT YOUR SERVICE DATA

The Zendesk Group is committed to providing a robust and comprehensive security program including the security measures set forth in these Supplemental Terms (“Security Measures”). During the Subscription Term, these Security Measures may change without notice, as standards evolve or as additional controls are implemented or existing controls are modified as We deem reasonably necessary.

Security Measures Utilized by Us

As provided for in Section 3.2 of Exhibit A: General Terms and Conditions, We will abide by these Security Measures to protect Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services:

1. Security Policies and Personnel. We have and will maintain a managed security program to identify risks and implement preventative technology, as well as technology and processes for common attack mitigation. This program is and will be reviewed on a regular basis to provide for continued effectiveness and accuracy. We have, and will maintain, a full-time information security team responsible for monitoring and reviewing security infrastructure for Our networks, systems and services, responding to security incidents, and developing and delivering training to Our employees in compliance with Our security policies.

2. Data Transmission. We will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data. These safeguards include encryption of Service Data at rest and in transmission with Our UI’s or API’s (using TLS or similar technologies) over the Internet, except for any Third Party Services that does not support encryption, which You may link to through the Services at Your election.

3. Audits and Certifications. Upon Customer’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement, Zendesk shall make available to Subscriber that is not a competitor of Zendesk (or Subscriber’s independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of Zendesk) information regarding Zendesk’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this Agreement in the form of the Zendesk’s ISO 27001 certification and/or SOC 2 or SOC 3 reports.

4. Incident Response. We have an incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of Our systems or data that includes a response time under which Zendesk will contact its subscribers upon verification of a security incident that affects Your Service Data. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. The incident response program includes 24×7 centralized monitoring systems and on-call staffing to respond to service incidents. Unless ordered otherwise by law enforcement or government agency, You will be notified within seventy-two (72) hours of a Service Data Breach. “Service Data Breach” is defined as an unauthorized access or improper disclosure that has been verified to have affected Your Service Data.

5. Access Control and Privilege Management. We restrict administrative access to production systems to approved personnel. We require such personnel to have unique IDs and associated cryptographic keys. These keys are used to authenticate and identify each person’s activities on Our systems, including access to Service Data. Upon hire, Our approved personnel are assigned unique keys. Upon termination of personnel, or where compromise of said key is suspected, these keys are revoked. Access rights and levels are based on Our employees’ job function and role, using the concepts of least-privilege and need-to-know to match access privileges to defined responsibilities.

6. Network Management and Security. The Sub-processors utilized by Us for hosting services maintain industry standard fully redundant and secure network architecture with reasonably sufficient bandwidth as well as redundant network infrastructure to mitigate the impact of individual component failure. Our security team utilizes industry standard utilities to provide defense against known common unauthorized network activity, monitors security advisory lists for vulnerabilities, and undertakes regular external vulnerability audits.

7. Data Center Environment and Physical Security. The Sub-processors which are utilized by Us for hosting services in connection with Our provision of the Service employ the following security measures:

  • A security organization responsible for physical security functions 24x7x365.
  • Access to areas where systems or system components are installed or stored within data centers is restricted through security measures and policies consistent with industry standards.
  • N+1 uninterruptible power supply and HVAC systems, backup power generator architecture and advanced fire suppression.

Technical and Organizational Security Measures for Third-Party Service Providers Who Host, Process, or Have Access to Service Data.

As provided for in Section 3.5 of the General Terms and Conditions, any third-party service providers that are utilized by the Zendesk Group will only be given access to Your Account and Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service and will be subject to, among the other requirements in Section 3.5, their implementing and maintaining compliance with the following appropriate technical and organizational security measures:

2. System Access Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to prevent data processing systems from being used without authorization. These controls shall vary based on the nature of Processing undertaken and may include, among other controls, authentication via passwords and/or two-factor authentication, documented authorization processes, documented change management processes, and/or logging of access on several levels.

3. Data Access Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to provide that Service Data is accessible and manageable only by properly authorized staff, direct database query access is restricted and application access rights are established and enforced to ensure that persons entitled to access Service Data only have access to Service Data to which they have the privilege of access; and, that Service Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization in the course of Processing.

4. Transmission Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish to which entities the transfer of Service Data by means of data transmission facilities is envisaged so Service Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization during electronic transmission or transport.

5. Input Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures designed to ensure that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom Service Data has been entered into data processing systems, modified or removed; and, any of transfer of Service Data to a third-party service provider is made via a secure transmission.

6. Data Protection. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures designed to ensure that Service Data is secured to protect against accidental destruction or loss.

Unless otherwise agreed to in a SOW or Order Form, Subscriber agrees that any Consulting Services purchased by Subscriber must commence within six (6) months of the execution of the SOW or Order Form. In consideration of the foregoing, Subscriber and Zendesk, intending to be legally bound, agree to the terms set forth below.

All Consulting Services pursuant to the Agreement provided by Zendesk to Subscriber will be outlined in one or more mutually agreed-upon and jointly executed SOW(s) or Order Form(s), each incorporated into the Agreement and describing in detail the scope, nature and other relevant characteristics of Consulting Services to be provided.

2. Retention. Subscriber hereby retains Zendesk to provide the Consulting Services described in one or more SOWs or Order Forms, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Zendesk shall not be obligated to perform any Consulting Services until both Parties have mutually agreed upon and executed a SOW or Order Form with respect to such Consulting Services. After execution of a SOW or Order Form, the Consulting Services to be provided under that SOW or Order Form may only be changed through a change order mutually executed by the Parties (“Change Order”).”

3. Performance of Consulting Services.

3.1 Each SOW or Order Form will include reasonable details about Consulting Services, including, at a minimum, the Consulting Fees (defined below) charged and the Consulting Services provided. Zendesk and Subscriber agree to cooperate in good faith to achieve satisfactory completion of the Consulting Services in a timely and professional manner.

3.2 The Parties will each designate a representative to interface and facilitate the successful completion of the Consulting Services.

3.3 Zendesk will perform the Consulting Services through qualified employees and/or non-employee contractors of Zendesk (“Subcontractors” and together with Zendesk’s employees for the purposes of these Supplemental Terms, “Consulting Services Personnel”). Subscriber agrees to provide, at no cost to Zendesk, timely and adequate assistance and other resources reasonably requested by Zendesk to enable the performance of the Consulting Services (collectively, “Assistance”). Zendesk, including its Subcontractors, will not be liable for any deficiency in the performance of Consulting Services to the extent such deficiency results from any acts or omissions of Subscriber, including but not limited to, Subscriber’s failure to provide Assistance as required hereunder.

3.4 In performing the Consulting Services, Zendesk will utilize Consulting Services Personnel as it deems necessary to perform the Consulting Services or any portion thereof. Subscriber may object to Zendesk’s use of a Subcontractor by specifying its reasonable objection to Zendesk, in which case the Parties will cooperate in good faith to appoint another Consulting Services Personnel to perform such Consulting Services. Zendesk may replace Consulting Services Personnel in its normal course of business, provided that Zendesk will be responsible for the performance of Consulting Services by all Consulting Services Personnel.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Completion Notice shall not be necessary for Consulting Services that are time and materials based.

4. Consulting Fees.

4.1 Subscriber will pay Zendesk the fees to provide the Consulting Services as detailed or described in an Order Form or SOW (the “Consulting Fees”).

Upon receiving such amended T&M Estimate, Subscriber will accept or reject the amended T&M Estimate. Unless Subscriber rejects such amended T&M Estimate within five (5) days of delivery, such amended T&M Estimate shall be deemed accepted by Subscriber and Subscriber shall be liable for all Consulting Fees associated with Consulting Services delivered in reliance on such amended T&M Estimate. Any amended T&M Estimate which is accepted by Subscriber shall be deemed a Change Order.

4.3 As detailed in the applicable SOW or Order Form, the performance of Consulting Services may be subject to an advance payment of Consulting Fees by Subscriber upon execution of the SOW or Order Form. Such advance payment will be applied against Consulting Fees which become payable by Subscriber. Zendesk may refuse to perform Consulting Services unless and until such advance payment is paid to Zendesk.

4.4 In addition to any and all Consulting Fees, Subscriber will reimburse Zendesk for any reasonable expenses for travel, lodging, communications, shipping charges and out-of-pocket expenses, including changes to travel and accommodations resulting from Subscriber’s request incurred by Zendesk in connection with providing the Consulting Services (“Expenses”).
