This is Customer's only remedy for breach of this warranty. This warranty does not cover any misuse or unauthorized changes to the Services made by Customer or others acting on its behalf.
3Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," AND ZENDESK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ZENDESK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, OR WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S BUSINESS, LEGAL, OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY CUSTOMER FROM ZENDESK OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. THESE DISCLAIMERS APPLY TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

8SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION

1Zendesk IP Indemnity. Zendesk will defend the Customer against any IP Claim and will indemnify Customer from and against any damages or costs finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed in settlement by Zendesk (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from such IP Claim. If Zendesk reasonably believes that the Services might result in an IP Claim, Zendesk may: (a) procure rights for Customer to continue using the Services; (b) replace or modify the alleged infringing portion of the Services without materially reducing functionality; or (c) terminate this Agreement, and refund Customer any prepaid fees Zendesk received covering the remainder of the Subscription Term. Zendesk will not be liable for any IP Claim resulting from: (i) following designs, data, instructions, or specifications provided by Customer; (ii) modifications of the Services made by anyone other than Zendesk; or (iii) Customer's combination or use of the Services in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Documentation. This Section 9.1 states Customer's only remedy regarding any IP Claim.
2Customer Indemnity. Customer will defend and indemnify Zendesk from and against any third-party claims made against Zendesk or its Affiliates that arise from or relate to: (i) Service Data; or (ii) any violations of this Agreement by Customer, its Affiliates, or its personnel.
3Process. The indemnities given by each party under this section are subject to: (i) the indemnified party giving the indemnifying party prompt written notice of the claim; (ii) the indemnifying party having sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim (but the indemnifying party cannot settle any claim that admits liability for the indemnified party without the indemnified party's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (iii) the indemnified party providing information as may be reasonably requested by the indemnifying party in connection with the claim. Failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of the claim under Section 9.3(i) will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 9; however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any litigation expenses that the indemnified party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the indemnifying party according to Section 9.3(i).

4SECTION 4. PAYMENT TERMS

4.14.1 Payment. Customer will pay all agreed-upon Charges upon commencement of the Subscription Term, or as otherwise specified in an Order Form or SOW. If Customer requires Zendesk to use a vendor payment or compliance portal that charges Zendesk any fees, Zendesk may charge these fees to Customer. Customer will ensure its payment and account information remain accurate.
4.24.2 Charges. Charges are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. Additional fees will apply if Customer exceeds applicable pricing metrics in the Order Form or the limits in the Storage Limits Policy. Customer cannot downgrade its Service Plan or reduce the applicable pricing metric (such as the number of Agents) during a Subscription Term. A Customer seeking any such downgrade or reduction for a future term must give 30 days' written notice of such changes prior to the end of the current Subscription Term to revops@zendesk.com. Customer must also remove or deactivate any affected Agents prior to the beginning of the subsequent Subscription Term to avoid renewal at their existing levels. If a new Order Form is not signed by the Customer before the end of the then-current Subscription Term, the Services will renew as stated in Section 7.2.
4.34.3 Payment Disputes. All payment, fee, or invoice disputes must be made in good faith and submitted to Zendesk prior to the payment due date, or within 30 days of invoice for Customers on immediate payment terms.
4.44.4 Late Payment. Zendesk may charge Customer interest at the maximum rate permitted by law on any overdue amounts, plus all collection expenses.
4.54.5 Taxes. Charges do not include Taxes. Customer is solely responsible for paying any Taxes, except for those applicable to Zendesk's net income. If Zendesk has a legal obligation to collect or pay any Taxes, Zendesk will invoice the Customer for such Taxes, unless Customer provides Zendesk with a valid tax exemption certification authorized by the appropriate taxing authority before Zendesk issues the invoice.
4.64.6 Withholding Tax. If Customer is required to withhold Taxes from payments to Zendesk, Customer will: (i) deduct authorized Taxes from payments to Zendesk; (ii) remit withheld Taxes directly to tax authorities; and (iii) provide Zendesk a valid tax receipt within 75 days. If Customer fails to submit a valid tax receipt within 75 days, Customer will pay the full amount of the invoice. Any withholding will only be valid and enforceable if it is established within the Order Form signed by the Customer, and the Order Form will establish the amount or percentage that will be withheld.
4.74.7 Resale Customers. If Customer purchases the Services through a Reseller, all applicable fees will be paid by Customer directly to the Reseller. If Customer is eligible for a refund, Zendesk will refund the Reseller, who will then refund the Customer.

5SECTION 5. CONFIDENTIALITY

5.15.1 Obligations. Each party will protect the other's Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as each party protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care.

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 may disclose such Confidential Information only: (i) to its Affiliates, employees, and/or agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality at least as protective as this Agreement; (ii) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation.

7SECTION 7. TERM AND TERMINATION

7.17.1 Term. The Agreement term begins on the Effective Date and will continue until the expiration of the Subscription Term unless terminated earlier under this Agreement. The Subscription Term will be specified in either the Order Form or SOW.
7.27.2 Renewals. Unless either party provides at least 30 days' prior written notice of its intent not to renew, or the Order Form states otherwise, the Subscription Term will automatically renew for an equivalent term and Zendesk may apply then-current rates. Customer must send an email to revops@zendesk.com to notify Zendesk of its intent not to renew.
7.37.3 Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause, if the other party: (i) is in material breach of the Agreement and fails to cure that breach within 30 days after receipt of written notice; or (ii) ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings. Zendesk may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause without notice if Customer violates Section 2.1(ii) or 2.1(v).
7.47.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, Customer will no longer have access to the Services except as stated in Section 3.4, and Zendesk will delete Service Data according to the Service Data Deletion Policy. If Customer terminates this Agreement under Section 7.3, Zendesk will refund any prepaid fees it received covering the remainder of the Subscription Term as of the effective date of termination. If Zendesk terminates the Agreement under Section 7.3 or if Customer cancels its account before the end of the Subscription Term, Customer will pay any unpaid amounts covering the remainder of the Subscription Term. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to Zendesk or the Reseller for the period before the effective date of termination.
7.57.5 Suspension. Zendesk may limit or suspend Customer's access to the Services if: (i) Customer disrupts or creates a security risk to the Services; (ii) Zendesk reasonably believes Customer's use of the Services violates applicable law or suspension is requested by a government authority; (iii) subject to Section 4.3, Customer's fees owed to Zendesk are 30 days or more overdue; (iv) Customer purchases the Services through a Reseller, and either Customer fails to pay fees owed to the Reseller or the Reseller fails to pay fees owed to Zendesk; or (v) Zendesk reasonably determines that suspension is necessary to avoid material harm to Zendesk, its Affiliates, or customers. Suspension includes removing or disabling Agents, Service Data, or other content. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, Zendesk will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer by email or through the Services before suspending access to the Services.

8.28.2 Zendesk Warranty. Zendesk warrants that the Services will operate materially as described in the Documentation. If Zendesk breaches this warranty and Customer makes a warranty claim within 30 days of discovering the issue, Zendesk will use reasonable efforts to correct the Services. If Zendesk determines it cannot correct the Services, either party may terminate the affected Services, and Zendesk will refund any prepaid fees for those Services covering the remainder of the Subscription Term as of the effective date of termination. This is Customer's only remedy for breach of this warranty. This warranty does not cover any misuse or unauthorized changes to the Services made by Customer or others acting on its behalf.
8.38.3 Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," AND ZENDESK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ZENDESK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, OR WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S BUSINESS, LEGAL, OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY CUSTOMER FROM ZENDESK OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. THESE DISCLAIMERS APPLY TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

9SECTION 9. INDEMNIFICATION

9.19.1 Zendesk IP Indemnity. Zendesk will defend the Customer against any IP Claim and will indemnify Customer from and against any damages or costs finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed in settlement by Zendesk (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from such IP Claim. If Zendesk reasonably believes that the Services might result in an IP Claim, Zendesk may: (a) procure rights for Customer to continue using the Services; (b) replace or modify the alleged infringing portion of the Services without materially reducing functionality; or (c) terminate this Agreement, and refund Customer any prepaid fees Zendesk received covering the remainder of the Subscription Term. Zendesk will not be liable for any IP Claim resulting from: (i) following designs, data, instructions, or specifications provided by Customer; (ii) modifications of the Services made by anyone other than Zendesk; or (iii) Customer's combination or use of the Services in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Documentation. This Section 9.1 states Customer's only remedy regarding any IP Claim.
9.29.2 Customer Indemnity. Customer will defend and indemnify Zendesk from and against any third-party claims made against Zendesk or its Affiliates that arise from or relate to: (i) Service Data; or (ii) any violations of this Agreement by Customer, its Affiliates, or its personnel.
9.39.3 Process. The indemnities given by each party under this section are subject to: (i) the indemnified party giving the indemnifying party prompt written notice of the claim; (ii) the indemnifying party having sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim (but the indemnifying party cannot settle any claim that admits liability for the indemnified party without the indemnified party's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (iii) the indemnified party providing information as may be reasonably requested by the indemnifying party in connection with the claim. Failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of the claim under Section 9.3(i) will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 9; however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any litigation expenses that the indemnified party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the indemnifying party according to Section 9.3(i).
