ZEPHYR TEAMS TERMS AND CONDITIONS (VERSION 1.0 EFFECTIVE AUGUST 7, 2018)
1. Services; Subscription Fee; Taxes. From time to time during the term of these Terms and Conditions, Zephyr and Customer may execute one or more individual order forms (each, an “Order Form”). Each Order Form shall, at a minimum, describe the Services to be provided to Customer by Zephyr, the subscription fees for such Services, the subscription period during which such Services shall be available to Customer (the “Subscription Period”), and other transaction-specific terms. In consideration for the Services, Customer shall pay to Zephyr the subscription fee(s) set forth in the applicable Order Form.
All subscription fees and other amounts payable by Customer during the Subscription Period are exclusive of taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes, and all other taxes imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer, other than any taxes imposed on Zephyr’s income.
Customer agrees to pay the subscription fee and all applicable taxes and other costs associated with the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions, including, without limitation, the fee schedule, set forth in such Order Form. By providing Zephyr with a payment method, Customer (i) represents that Customer is authorized to use the payment method Customer provided and any payment method Customer provides is true and accurate, (ii) authorizes Zephyr to charge Customer for the Services using Customer’s payment method.

Customer shall only use the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions, as well as the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy posted on Zephyr’s website. The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are incorporated into these Terms and Conditions by reference. For any software provided in connection with the Services, Customer shall not, nor permit anyone else to, directly or indirectly: (i) copy, modify or distribute such software or any license key (if any) to such software; (ii) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or structure, sequence and organization of the software, in whole or in part; (iii) assign, rent, lease or use the software for timesharing or service bureau purposes, or otherwise use the software for any commercial purpose; or (iv) create any derivative works from or sublicense any rights in the software. Customer represents, warrants and covenants that Customer shall not use the software: (a) to infringe the intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, of any third party; (b) to violate any applicable federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance or regulation; (c) to disseminate, transfer or store information or materials in any form or format (the “Content”) that are harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, or otherwise objectionable or that otherwise violate any law or right of any third party; (d) to disseminate any software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs that may interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment, or violate the security of any computer network; or (e) to run Maillist, Listserv, “bots”, “robots”, any form of auto-responder, or “spam” or any processes that run or are activated while Customer is not logged in. Customer, not Zephyr, remains solely responsible for all Content that Customer uploads, posts, e-mails, transmits, or otherwise disseminates using, or in connection with, the software. Customer acknowledges that all Content Customer accesses through use of the software is accessed at Customer’s own risk and Customer shall be solely responsible for any damage or liability to any party resulting from such access.
4. Ownership. Zephyr and its licensors shall retain (i) all right, title and interest in and to the Services, including in and to Zephyr’s proprietary software (in object and source code forms), any and all accompanying documentation, copies or portions thereof and related materials, (ii) all right, title and interest in and to the Zephyr service marks, trademarks, trade names or any other designations and associated goodwill, and (iii) all copyrights, patent rights, trade secret rights and all other intellectual property and proprietary rights in the Services. Customer acknowledges that Customer neither owns nor acquires any rights in any of the foregoing not expressly granted by these Terms and Conditions.
5. Warranty Disclaimer. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. ZEPHYR MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ZEPHYR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INTERFERENCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, DATA ACCURACY OR SYSTEM INTEGRATION. FURTHER, ZEPHYR DOES NOT WARRANT RESULTS OF USE OR THAT THE SERVICES ARE BUG FREE OR ERROR FREE OR THAT ITS USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE ON THE BASIS OF TRADE USAGE, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR COURSE OF DEALING. ALL THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS ALSO APPLY IN FULL WITH RESPECT TO ZEPHYR’S LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, DISTRIBUTORS, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS.
6. Indemnity. Zephyr and its licensors, distributors, contractors and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) shall have no liability whatsoever for any use Customer makes of the Services. Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) Customer’s failure to comply with any term of these Terms and Conditions; or (b) use of the Services in combination with other hardware, software or other systems that is not contemplated by the applicable accompanying documentation. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Customer shall hereby release, and waive all claims against Zephyr and its licensors, suppliers, employees and agents (including litigation costs and attorneys’ fees) of every kind and nature, arising out of or in any way connected with the use of Zephyr’s proprietary software. If Customer is a California resident, Customer waives Customer’s rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Residents of other states and nations waive their rights under analogous laws, statutes or regulations.
7. Limitations of Liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY PROBLEMS OR DISSATISFATION WITH THE SERVICES IS TO UNINSTALL AND TO STOP USING THE SERVICES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TORT, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON (I) FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS AND LOSS OF PROFITS) OR (II) FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES’ REASONABLE CONTROL. ZEPHYR’S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY SUCH APPLICABLE LAW. ALL THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IF ZEPHYR KNOWS OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES, WITHOUT WHICH THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT, AND ACCORDINGLY THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS INTENDED TO APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY OTHER REMEDY HAS FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
