Content also includes any resulting derivatives, analytics, outputs, visual text, translations, displays, or data sets created by, provided by, or made available by Zoom resulting from the data, content, or other materials or sources provided by You or Your End Users; however, You acknowledge for clarity, that no Content created by, provided by, or made available by Zoom results in the transfer, conveyance, assignment, or any other ownership transfer of Zoom’s Proprietary Rights to You in any way and that Zoom retains all Proprietary Rights as set forth in Section 10 (Proprietary Rights).

You grant Zoom a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license and all other rights required or necessary for the Permitted Uses. You further agree that Zoom owns all rights, title, and interest in and to telemetry data, product usage data, diagnostic data, and similar data that Zoom collects or generates in connection with Your or Your End Users’ use of the Trial Offering.

    Zoom may also access, use, preserve, or disclose account information and Content if legally required to do so or on a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or request; to enforce this Agreement; to detect or prevent fraud, security, or technical issues; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Zoom, its end users, customers, or the public as permitted by law.

  13. General Availability; Future Roadmap.Zoom may, in its sole discretion and at any time, choose to make a Trial Offering generally available to the public and remove the Trial Offering. Zoom makes no representation that the Trial Offering will comply with any potentially applicable laws (including regulations). You acknowledge that (i) additional laws and regulations may apply to a Trial Offering upon general release, and (ii) You may be required to accept additional contract terms, pay for access to the generally available version of a Trial Offering to enable continued use, or both. You acknowledge that access and use is voluntary and for the sole purpose of assisting and benefiting Zoom in the advancement of the Trial Offering. You acknowledge that (a) Zoom has not made any representations, promises, or guarantees that a Trial Offering will ever be announced or made generally available or otherwise available to anyone, and (b) Zoom has no express or implied obligation to You to announce or make a Trial Offering generally available or otherwise available.Any future plans or roadmap information provided during the Term is intended solely to outline general product direction and should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision and does not represent a commitment or legal obligation to deliver any material, code, or functionality.

Any forward-looking indication of plans for products, including the development, release, and timing of any features or functionality, is preliminary and all future release dates are tentative and are subject to change without notice. You acknowledge that a Trial Offering could be or include material nonpublic information, and therefore, You shall not offer to sell, sell, or otherwise enter into any transaction in connection with Zoom stock to the extent You are aware of or in the possession of any of Zoom’s material nonpublic information.
  14. Indemnification.You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Zoom, its Affiliates, licensors, and suppliers (the “Indemnified Parties”) and each of the Indemnified Parties respective officers, directors, members, employees, consultants, representatives, and agents from any third-party allegations, suits, claims, or demands and associated liabilities, costs, damages, and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and court costs) (collectively, “Claims”) arising from or related to Your or Your End Users’: (a) dispute between each other; (b) violation of this Agreement; (c) infringement or violation of the intellectual property rights of another; (d) violation of any law; or (e) act or omission resulting in personal injury or property damage.
  15. Limitation on Liability.

    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT LIMITS THE LIABILITY OF ZOOM TO YOU.

    IN NO EVENT WILL ZOOM OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER RESULTING FROM A TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, OR OTHER FORM OF ACTION, AND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF YOU HAVE ADVISED ZOOM OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS MATERIAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. BECAUSE SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 

  16. International Use; Export Controls; Sanctions.You acknowledge that the Trial Offerings, or a portion thereof, are subject to the Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-774, of the United States and may be subject to other applicable country export control and trade sanctions laws (“Export Control and Sanctions Laws”). You shall not, and shall not permit any of Your End Users of a Trial Offering, to access, use, export, re-export, divert, transfer, or disclose any part of a Trial Offering or any related technical information or materials, directly or indirectly, in violation of any applicable export control or trade sanctions law or regulation.

    You represent and warrant that: (i) You and Your End Users (a) are not citizens of, or located within, a country or territory that is subject to U.S. trade sanctions or other significant trade restrictions (including without limitation Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine) and that You and Your End Users will not access or use a Trial Offering, or export, re-export, divert, or transfer a Trial Offering, in or to such countries or territories; (b) are not persons, or owned 50% or more, individually or in the aggregate by persons, identified on the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or Foreign Sanctions Evaders Lists; and (c) are not persons on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List, Entity List, or Unverified List, or U.S. Department of State proliferation-related lists; and (ii) You and Your End Users located in China, Russia, or Venezuela are not Military end users and will not put Zoom’s Trial Offerings to a Military end user, as defined in 15 C.F.R. 744.21. You are solely responsible for complying with the Export Control and Sanctions Laws and monitoring them for any modifications.

  17. Commercial Agreements; Data Processing Addendum; US Privacy Laws.The parties intend for this Agreement to be separate and distinct from a master subscription agreement, terms of service, and any other agreement for Zoom services (each, a “Commercial Agreement”) that You may have with Zoom and this Agreement does not become part of, modify, supersede, or amend any Commercial Agreement between You and Zoom. You acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Agreement govern and control Your use of and access to the Trial Offering and not any Commercial Agreement nor any free trial terms that may be contained in a Commercial Agreement.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You are a business, enterprise, or education account owner and Your use of the Trial Offering requires Zoom to process personal data of Your End Users under a data processing agreement, then You acknowledge and agree that the Global Data Processing Addendum or Agreement (“DPA”) entered into between You and Zoom, as an addendum to, or as a separate agreement related to, your Commercial Agreement, governs Zoom’s processing of any personal data under this Agreement and such DPA is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement solely for such purposes.If You are (i) a “business” and we process “personal information” (as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020) on Your behalf, (ii) a “controller” and Zoom processes “personal data” (as those terms are defined by other applicable US state data privacy Laws) on Your behalf, or (iii) You meet both criteria set out in (i) and (ii), then Zoom’s US State Law Privacy Addendum is incorporated herein by reference and applies to Zoom’s “processing” of Your “personal information” and “personal data” (as those terms are defined under the aforementioned Laws).
  18. Agreement to Arbitrate Claims and Class Action Waiver.You agree to resolve disputes with Zoom through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Arbitration means that an arbitrator, and not a judge or a jury, will decide the dispute. This Agreement also prevents You from bringing or participating in any kind of class, collective, or mass action, private attorney general action, or any other proceeding brought against Zoom by someone else.
    1. Covered Disputes. You agree that any dispute or claim arising between You and Zoom concerning the Trial Offering, including any related software, hardware, advertising or marketing communications related to the subject matter herein, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court.
    2. Exceptions to Arbitration. This Agreement does not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (1) small claims court actions brought by either You or Zoom, if the requirements of the court are met and the claims are only on an individual basis; and (2) claims pertaining to domain names or intellectual property rights, including trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents.
    3. Arbitration Procedure. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules unless You are an individual and use the Trial Offering for personal or household use, in which case AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. Visit adr.org for more information. In the event of a conflict between any applicable AAA rules and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum and, if they cannot agree, will ask the court to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5. Arbitration hearings will take place in one of the following locations: (i) where You reside or use the Trial Offering, (ii) in San Jose, California, or (iii) in another location that You and Zoom agree upon in writing. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim; however, a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity.
    4. Arbitration Fees. Your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in AAA’s rules. If You have a gross monthly income of less than 300% of the federal poverty guidelines, You are entitled to a waiver of arbitration fees and costs. If You cannot afford to pay AAA’s fees and AAA denies Your request for a waiver of fees, Zoom will pay them for You.
    5. Requirement to File Within One Year. Notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, and exclusive of any claims or causes of action that are subject to Section 18(b) (Exceptions to Arbitration), any claim or cause of action under this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or else that claim or cause of action will be permanently barred.
    6. Severability of Class Action Waiver. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts will not be arbitrated but will be resolved in court, with the balance resolved through arbitration.
  19. Miscellaneous Terms.
    1. Notice. Zoom may give notice by (i) electronic mail to Your e-mail address on record in Your account information, (ii) written communication sent by letter delivered by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iii) first-class postage prepaid mail to Your address on record in Your account information. You must give notice to Zoom (and such notice shall be deemed given when received by Zoom) by letter delivered by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first-class postage prepaid mail to Zoom at 55 Almaden Blvd, San Jose, CA, 95113, Suite 600, USA, addressed to the attention of “Legal,” with an email copy to legal@zoom.us, addressed to the attention of “Legal.”
    2. No Agency Relationship. The parties do not intend for this Agreement to create an express or implicit agency relationship in accordance with federal or state common law of agency. Each party is intended to be an independent contractor and no agency relationship is created under this Agreement.
    3. No Third-Party Rights or Remedies. This Agreement does not and is not intended to confer any enforceable rights or remedies upon any person other than Zoom and You.
    4. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. You may not assign Your rights or transfer any of Your obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of Zoom and such consent may be granted or withheld in Zoom’s sole discretion. Zoom may assign its rights or transfer any or all of its obligations under this Agreement at any time, without prior notice to You. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this section is null and void. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
    5. Changes to this Agreement; Additional Terms. Zoom reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time, and Zoom will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate any material change to You. Use of the Trial Offering may require acceptance of new, modified, or additional terms of use from time-to-time by and through You, Your administrator, or other account owner. By continuing to access and use the Trial Offering and not issuing a notice of termination of this Agreement, unless expressly prohibited by law, You agree that such actions will be deemed acceptance of, and Your agreement to be bound by, any such new, modified, or additional terms.
    6. Merger; Conflicts. The parties intend for this Agreement to constitute the final agreement between the parties, and that it is the complete and exclusive expression of the parties’ agreement on the matters contained herein. All prior or contemporaneous writings, negotiations, and discussions between the parties with respect to its subject matter are expressly merged and superseded by this Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, neither party has relied upon any statement, representation, warranty, or agreement of the other party except to the extent expressly contained in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between any other agreement between the parties and this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will control. You acknowledge that no text or information set forth on any purchase order, preprinted form, or other document can add to or vary the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
    7. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties do not intend for this determination to affect or impair the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any way.
    8. Survival. All sections of this Agreement which, by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, sections pertaining to confidential information, any payment obligations, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, arbitration, and the limitation on liability.
    9. Governing Law; Forum Selection.
