These Premier Developer Support Terms supplement the terms and conditions contained in: (i) the Zoom Reseller Customers Terms of Service (https://explore.zoom.us/en/eula-terms-of-service/) or a Master Subscription Agreement or equivalent agreement for the provision of services by Zoom, as applicable (the “Service Agreement”); (ii) the Zoom API License and Terms of Use (https://explore.zoom.us/en/legal/zoom-api-license-and-tou/); (iii) the Video SDK Terms of Service (https://www.zoom.com/en/trust/video-sdk-terms/); and (iv) for Customers who have purchased a Premier Support Plan through a Reseller, the Zoom Reseller Customer Premier Support Terms of Services (https://explore.zoom.us/en/reseller-customer-premier-support-terms/) (collectively, “Program and Purchase Terms”). As used in these Premier Developer Support Terms, “Customer” means the party purchasing the Premier Developer Support Services from a Reseller. These Premier Developer Support Terms are incorporated into the Service Agreement (and the referenced Program and Purchase Terms) by this reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Service Agreement.

  1. Definitions.
    “Order Form” means a written or electronic order form(s) provided by a Reseller and signed by Customer specifying the Support Services Customer has subscribed to. For the avoidance of doubt, Zoom is not a party to any Order Form and any terms therein shall not be binding on Zoom.

    3. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination pursuant to Section 2(b) (Termination):
      1. As of the termination date, Customer’s payment obligations to Reseller for the Premier Developer Support Services provided by Zoom through the termination date will be due.
