Customer and the Customer Application will employ reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards that:
-
comply with applicable laws and regulations, including Applicable Data Protection Laws;
-
protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Customer Data; and
-
prevent Security Incidents (as defined below).

In the event Customer becomes aware of any accidental, unlawful or unauthorized access to, or use, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction of, the Build Platform Service, Customer Data, the Customer Application, the information technology systems and facilities on which the Customer Application depends, or Zoom’s applications or systems (each, a “Security Incident”), Customer will notify Zoom about such Security Incident promptly and in no event later than 72 hours after Customer becomes aware of it. Customer agrees to preserve evidence regarding the Security Incident, and provide Zoom with information reasonably requested regarding the Security Incident, including an explanation of the nature and root cause of the Security Incident, the categories and approximate number of affected individuals and/or organizations, the categories and approximate quantity of affected records, the likely consequences of the Security Incident and corrective action being taken. Before Customer communicates with the public (e.g., via press release, blogs, social media, bulletin boards) or any third party about a Security Incident, Customer will consult with Zoom regarding, and provide Zoom an advance copy of, such communication, provided so doing is permitted by applicable laws and regulations and does not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s investigation or remediation of the Security Incident or Customer’s compliance with its legal obligations to give notifications about the Security Incident.
-
Security Review, Monitoring, and Remediation. Zoom and/or an independent third party selected by Zoom (and acting at Zoom’s direction) may, at Zoom’s sole cost and discretion, perform monitoring or a security review of the Customer Application to ensure that the Customer Application complies with these Build Platform Terms and does not threaten the security, integrity, availability or performance of Zoom’s services, software, applications, or Build Platform Service (a “Security Review”).

Except as required by applicable law, Zoom shall keep the results of the Security Review confidential. Zoom may require, at its sole discretion and in light of Customer’s use of the Build Platform Service, that Customer make adjustments or improvements to the Customer Application’s security standards or processes as a condition to using or continuing to use the Build Platform Service. Customer will maintain processes to encourage reporting of, identifying, and remediating any security vulnerabilities in the Customer Application, and Customer shall promptly notify Zoom in writing of, and explain to Zoom in reasonable detail, any security vulnerabilities related to the Customer Application's connection to or use of the Build Platform Service promptly upon becoming aware of such vulnerabilities. Zoom’s performance of a Security Review or decision not to respond to notice of a Security Incident or security vulnerability shall not be construed as an approval, warranty, or certification of the Customer Application or security safeguards, nor shall it limit Customer’s liability for the breach of, or waive Customer’s compliance with, any provision of these Build Platform Terms. Customer shall treat the occurrence of, results of, and any communications in connection with a Security Review as Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not use such information in any marketing or advertising of its Customer Application.

Limitation of Liability
-
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE SERVICE AGREEMENT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE) WILL ZOOM, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUBCONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, RESELLERS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER, ITS USERS, OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER LOSS INCURRED BY CUSTOMER, ITS USERS, OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THESE BUILD PLATFORM TERMS OR BUILD PLATFORM SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ZOOM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE BUILD PLATFORM TERMS OR THE SERVICE AGREEMENT, ZOOM’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER, ITS USERS, OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OR RELATING TO THESE BUILD PLATFORM TERMS OR THE BUILD PLATFORM SERVICE SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES CUSTOMER HAS PAID TO ZOOM FOR THE BUILD PLATFORM SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Indemnification
-
Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold Zoom, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, and resellers harmless against any suits, demands, or claims and associated losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages and liabilities, brought by a third party (including, without limitation, Customer’s Users) and arising from or relating to (i) any breach of these Build Platform Terms by Customer or its Users, or those acting on its behalf, (ii) any violation of applicable law or regulation by Customer or its Users, or the Customer Application, (iii) Customer’s gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct, or (iv) the Customer Application or Customer’s use of the Build Platform Service.
-
Zoom agrees to defend and indemnify Customer from any third party (except an Affiliate of Customer) suits, claims or demands and associated liabilities, costs, damages and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, expert fees and court costs) that Customer may sustain or incur arising from the infringement by the Build Platform Service of any copyright, trademark, or U.S. patent of a third party. This defense and indemnity will not apply to any claim that the infringement arose from (i) the combination of the Build Platform Service with software, hardware, content, data or other items not supplied by Zoom; (ii) Customer’s unauthorized modification of the Build Platform Service; (iii) Customer’s failure to update or upgrade the Build Platform Service to the extent such update or upgrade would have avoided the infringement; (iv) inputs or prompts provided by Customer or its Users that infringe or would reasonably be expected to generate infringing outputs; or (v) Customer’s failure to adhere to a Zoom-provided workaround. In the event that the Build Platform Service is, or in Zoom’s sole opinion is likely to be, enjoined due to the type of infringement described in this section, Zoom, at its option and expense, may (1) replace the applicable materials with functionally equivalent non-infringing technology or (2) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of the Build Platform Service or a substantially similar service, or, if the foregoing alternatives are not reasonably available to Zoom, (3) terminate these Build Platform Terms and any associated Order Forms and, upon request, Zoom will provide Customer with a pro-rated refund of any unused, prepaid fees related to the terminated Build Platform Service. Zoom’s defense and indemnification obligations for any covered claims arising under this Section 14.b sets forth Zoom’s entire obligation and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and compensation.
-
Indemnification Procedures. In claiming any indemnification under this Section 14, the indemnified party shall promptly provide the indemnifying party with notice of any claim that the indemnified party believes is within the scope of the obligation to indemnify. The indemnified party may, at its own expense, assist in the defense if it so chooses, but the indemnifying party shall control the defense and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any such claim. Any settlement intended to bind the indemnified party shall not be final without the indemnified party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Term; Termination and Renewal
-
Term.

Termination of Month-to-Month Subscription. If Customer has purchased a Month-to-Month Subscription, then Customer or Zoom may terminate these Build Platform Terms and Customer’s Build Platform Account and use of the Build Platform Service at any time upon providing thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to the other Party. Customer will be responsible for any Fees incurred up to the effective date of termination.

Termination of Annual Subscription. If Customer has purchased an Annual Subscription, and if available and stated on Customer’s Order Form and automatic renewal is not prohibited by applicable Law, each Renewal Term for the Annual Subscription will begin automatically at the end of the then-current Initial Subscription Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, unless either party provides written notice of termination of these Build Platform Terms or termination or modification of Customer’s Build Platform Account and use of the Build Platform Service under such Order Form (i) at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of the next Renewal Term, or (ii) within the notice period required by applicable Law (collectively, (i) and (ii), the “Renewal Notice Period”). In order to terminate or modify the Build Platform Service, Customer must provide notice to Zoom, via the billing portal (if available for Customer’s account) or in an email to renewals@zoom.us, in accordance with the Renewal Notice Period. Any statutory rights Customer may have under the applicable Laws to terminate Customer’s Build Platform Services at an earlier time during the Initial Subscription Term or any given Renewal Term remains unaffected by this clause, and, if required by applicable Law, Zoom will send Customer a reminder notice prior to the commencement date of the Renewal Term (and in accordance with the notice periods specified in these Build Platform Terms or other such deadline set by applicable Law that may apply to Customer) reminding Customer of Customer’s right to terminate the Build Platform Service and how to do so. Customer will be responsible for any Fees incurred up to the effective date of termination.

Termination of Customer’s Build Platform Account, pursuant to these Build Platform Terms, will automatically result in the termination of these Build Platform Terms.
