Last Updated: March 4, 2020
This Built by Zendesk Application Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between Zendesk, Inc. and its Affiliates, (collectively, “Zendesk”) and You. By accepting this Agreement or by using the Application (as defined below), You represent and acknowledge that You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement as it governs Your use of and access to the Application. The Application made available to You pursuant to this Agreement may only be utilized and tested in association with a subscription to a Service provided by Zendesk to You (as those terms are defined in the Master Subscription Agreement available at https://www.zendesk.com/company/customers-partners/master-subscription-agreement/ unless there is a separately negotiated agreement between You and Zendesk (the “Master Subscription Agreement”)). Your use of a Service provided by Zendesk shall be governed by the Master Subscription Agreement. Your use of the Application shall be governed by this Agreement. By entering into this Agreement, You represent and warrant that You have the authority to bind the owner, and all Agents authorized under the account for the Service (the “Account”) to the Agreement. If the Account is owned, controlled or operated by or on behalf of a company or another legal entity, You represent that You have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to this Agreement, in which case the terms “You” shall refer to such entity and its affiliates. If You do not have such authority, or if You do not agree to the terms herein, You must not accept this Agreement or use the integration. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Master Subscription Agreement.
1. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
You are being invited by Zendesk to access and use an application developed by Zendesk that may utilize and interact with the API and a Non-Zendesk Service (“Non-Zendesk Service”) provided by a third party (“Third Party”) in connection with Your Account (“Application”). If applicable in the Application, Your use of the Non-Zendesk Service will be governed by Your agreement with the Third Party and Zendesk is not responsible for the actions of the Third Party. The Non-Zendesk Service is developed, operated, and maintained by the Third Party and includes any ancillary products and services that the Third Party provides to You. Zendesk shall retain sole and absolute discretion as to whether the Application will be made available to You. You are not required to utilize or enable the Application, but if You elect to do so, Your use of and access to the Application shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Zendesk may charge for use and access to the Application or may provide the Application for no charge. Zendesk reserves the right to start charging or revise fee amounts at any time, at its sole discretion, under this Agreement or after the Application is incorporated into the Service. You acknowledge that Your use of the Application is governed by this Agreement and that the Master Subscription Agreement (including any terms related to Deployed Associated Services) does not apply to the Application.

2.2 You agree that You will not, without the express prior written consent of Zendesk, disclose any Confidential Information or any part thereof to any third party, except to the extent that such Confidential Information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through any means other than as a result of any act or omission by You; (ii) is rightfully received by You from a third party that is not subject to any obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto and without limitation as to its use; or (iii) is independently developed by You without any reliance on any Confidential Information.
2.3 At the termination of this Agreement or at any time by request of Zendesk, You will return all Confidential Information in Your possession to Zendesk. You also agree that You will not duplicate, translate, modify, copy, print, disassemble, decompile or otherwise tamper with the Application or any Confidential Information.
