Terms & Policies

These Intercom Terms of Service (the “Agreement") are entered into by and between the Intercom entity set forth below (“Intercom") and the entity or person placing an order for, or accessing, any Services (“Customer” or “you"). If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on behalf of your company, and all references to “you” or “Customer” reference your company.

This Agreement permits Customer to purchase subscriptions to online software-as-a-service products and other services from Intercom pursuant to Order Form(s) (defined below) and sets forth the terms and conditions under which those products and services will be provided. This Agreement includes the Additional Product Terms, incorporated by reference herein.

The “Effective Date” of this Agreement is the date that is the earlier of: (a) Customer's initial access to any Services (as defined below) through any online provisioning, registration or order process or (b) the effective date of the first Order Form referencing this Agreement.

As used in this Agreement, “Intercom” means (a) Intercom, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 55 2nd Street, 4th Fl., San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, if Customer's shipping address on the applicable Order Form is located in the United States of America; or (b) Intercom R&D Unlimited Company, an Irish company with offices at 124 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, DC02 C628, Republic of Ireland, if Customer's shipping address on the applicable Order Form is located anywhere else in the world.

Modifications to this Agreement: From time to time, Intercom may modify this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by Intercom, changes become effective for Customer upon renewal of Customer's current Subscription Term (as defined below), or entry into a new Order Form. Intercom will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of the changes through communications via Customer's account, email or other means. Customer may be required to click to accept or otherwise agree to the updated Agreement before renewing a Subscription Term or entering into a new Order Form, but in any event continued use of the Services after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect will constitute Customer's acceptance of such updated version. If Intercom specifies that changes to the Agreement will take effect prior to Customer's next renewal or new Order Form (such as for legal compliance, product or pricing change reasons) and Customer objects to such changes, Customer may terminate the applicable Subscription Term on notice in writing to Intercom and receive as its sole remedy a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of the applicable Services for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term, commencing on the date notice of termination was received.

BY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ACCESSING OR USING ANY SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES CONTAINED OR REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY SERVICES. FOR CLARITY, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING UPON IT. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS THAT REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

2.2. Provision of Services. Each Service is provided on a subscription basis for a set term designated on the Order Form (each, a “Subscription Term"). Customer will purchase and Intercom will provide the specific Services as specified in the applicable Order Form.

Some Services may be subject to Additional Product Terms. By accessing or using a product or feature covered by the Additional Product Terms, Customer hereby agrees that their use of those Services is governed by the applicable Additional Product Terms.

2.3. Access to Services. Customer may access and use the Services solely for its own benefit (and for the benefit of People) and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Documentation and any scope of use restrictions designated in the applicable Order Form (including, without limitation, the usage quantity tracked). Use of and access to the Services is permitted only by Permitted Users. If Customer is given API keys or passwords to access the Services on Intercom's systems, Customer will require that all Permitted Users keep API keys, user ID and password information strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorized person. User IDs and related credentials are granted to individual, named persons and may not be shared. If Customer is accessing the Services using credentials provided by a third party (e.g., Google), then Customer will comply with all applicable terms and conditions of such third party regarding provisioning and use of such credentials. Customer will be responsible for any and all actions taken using Customer's accounts and passwords. If any Permitted User who has access to a user ID is no longer an employee (or Contractor, as set forth below) of Customer, then Customer will promptly delete such user ID and otherwise terminate such Permitted User's access to the Service. Intercom reserves the right to suspend access to any Services or features (including, without limitation, in-app messaging and integrations with Third Party Platforms and Third Party Messaging Apps) if Customer has exceeded applicable usage limits (if any) or if Intercom otherwise determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer is using the applicable Service in a manner that has become excessive (e.g., substantially exceeds typical use projections or exceeds usage by similar-sized customers (where customer size is defined by number of seats), including, but not limited to, storage and bandwidth consumption) and/or negatively impacts the operability, integrity, or security of the Service until usage is reduced to reasonable levels, as determined by Intercom and/or such impact is resolved to Intercom's satisfaction. We may change usage limits at any time, in our sole discretion, without notice.

2.4. Intercom Apps. To the extent Intercom provides Intercom Apps for use with the Services, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (unless otherwise indicated in the specific Intercom App), Intercom grants to Customer a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license during any applicable Subscription Term to use the object code form of the Intercom Apps internally, but only in connection with Customer's use of the Service and otherwise in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement.

2.8. Intercom APIs.

Further, Intercom may monitor Customer's usage of such APIs and limit the number of calls or requests Customer may make if Intercom believes that Customer's usage is in breach of this Agreement or may negatively affect the security, operability, or integrity of the Services (or otherwise impose liability on Intercom).

2.9. Trial Subscriptions. If Customer receives free access or a trial or evaluation subscription to the Service (a “Trial Subscription"), then Customer may use the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section (and any other supplemental trial terms agreed by Customer) for a period of fourteen (14) days or such other period granted by Intercom (the “Trial Period"). Trial Subscriptions are permitted solely for Customer's evaluation to determine whether to purchase a paid subscription to the Services or an upgrade to a service plan. Trial Subscriptions may not include all functionality and features accessible as part of a paid Subscription Term and may be subject to usage limits. If Customer does not enter into a paid Subscription Term prior to the expiration of the Trial Period, this Agreement and Customer's right to access and use the Services will terminate at the end of the Trial Period, except as otherwise set forth herein. If stated in the Order Form or Additional Product Terms for a specific Service or otherwise communicated in advance by Intercom to Customer, a paid Subscription Term will commence automatically once the Trial Period expires, and Customer will be charged for any continued use of the Services. Intercom has the right to terminate a Trial Subscription at any time for any reason. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, INTERCOM WILL HAVE NO WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, SUPPORT, SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT ("SLA"), OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO TRIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Beta Offerings may be changed at any time without notice and may not be maintained and/or become generally available. Beta Offerings are to be used for Customer's internal testing and evaluation purposes only and are not subject to the same security measures specified in the Security Policy. Intercom will have no liability arising out of or in connection with Beta Offerings and disclaims any warranty, indemnity, support, SLA, or other obligations with respect to its Beta Offerings.

7. Subscription Term, Fees & Payment

7.1. Subscription Term and Renewals.

a) Monthly Subscription Term. For a month-to-month subscription, the Subscription Term will automatically renew on a monthly basis. Each successive contract month will be considered a “renewal term.” Customer may cancel a month-to-month subscription at any time by going to the “Settings” page in the Dashboard, and the effective termination date will be the last day of the then-current renewal term.

b) Yearly or Multi-Year Subscription Term. For a yearly or multi-year subscription, the initial Subscription Term is set forth in the Order Form. The Subscription Term will automatically renew for additional, successive twelve month periods (each, a “renewal term"), unless either party gives the other written notice of intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the initial Subscription Term or then-current renewal term. Customer will send written notice of intent not to renew to [email protected].

7.2. Fees and Payment. All fees are as set forth in the applicable Order Form and will be paid by Customer within thirty (30) days of invoice, unless (a) Customer is paying via a Recurring Payment Method (as defined below) or (b) otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form. Intercom reserves the right to adjust pricing for any service plan and/or any Service(s) to the then-current list price upon the start of any renewal term.

a) Baseline Monthly Fee. Intercom will charge Customer the monthly subscription fee in advance of each billing period. The monthly subscription fee will be based on the contracted quantity of full seats purchased for the applicable service plan plus any upgrades (e.g., Proactive Support Plus), if applicable. Customer's invoice will also include any fees for one-time services (e.g., onboarding services) ordered by Customer.

b) Changes to Contracted Usage. If the contracted usage quantity (e.g., number of full seats, resolutions or channel usage) or service plan is changed during a billing period, Customer's monthly subscription fee will be prorated accordingly as of the effective date of the change.

c) Additional Usage Charges. In addition to the monthly subscription fee, if Customer uses any Services that are subject to additional usage charges and/or if Customer's actual usage exceeds Customer's contracted usage quantity, Customer will be charged additional usage fees (calculated based on published pricing and/or applicable unit price set forth in the Order Form).

Services. For any Services that are subject to additional usage charges, the applicable charges will be calculated based on the actual amount of usage of each Service in the given contract month. These additional usage charges will be billed in arrears in the next invoice that Customer receives following the date when the charges were incurred.

Seats. With respect to charges for full seats specifically, if Customer exceeds the originally contracted quantity, the additional seats activated by Customer will be billed as additional usage charges. In the month the additional seats are activated, these charges will be prorated as of the effective date of the change and included in the next invoice that Customer receives. Thereafter, these additional usage charges will be pre-billed for each month that the additional seats remain activated, unless Customer's Order Form specifies otherwise. At any time, Customer may reduce the then-current full seat quantity (but no lower than the originally contracted quantity), in which case, Customer will receive a credit on their account for the prorated portion of the pre-paid additional usage charges for the number of days that the removed seats were not activated during the contract month.

d) Taxes. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all fees are non-refundable. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes, and all Taxes are excluded from any fees set forth in the applicable Order Form. Intercom will invoice Customer for Taxes as well as any legally required fees arising from Customer's use of Services if Intercom believes it has a legal obligation to do so, and Customer will pay such Taxes and fees if invoiced. If Customer is required by Law to withhold any Taxes from Customer's payment, the fees payable by Customer will be increased as necessary so that after making any required withholdings, Intercom receives and retains (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholdings been made. Any late payments will be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

7.3. Payment Via Recurring Payment Method. If you are purchasing the Services via credit card, debit card or any other recurring payment method accepted by Intercom (“Recurring Payment Method"), the following terms apply:

a. Recurring Billing Authorization. By providing Recurring Payment Method information and agreeing to purchase any Services, Customer hereby authorizes Intercom (or its designee) to automatically charge Customer's Recurring Payment Method on the same date of each calendar month (or the closest prior date, if there are fewer days in a particular month) during the Subscription Term for all fees accrued as of that date (if any) in accordance with the applicable Order Form. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the amount billed and charged each month may vary depending on Customer's usage of the Services and may include adjustments to monthly subscription fee, upgrade fees, one-time service fees, additional usage charges, taxes and other fees as described above.

b. Foreign Transaction Fees. Customer acknowledges that for certain Recurring Payment Methods, the provider/issuer may charge a foreign transaction fee or other charges.

c. Invalid Payment. If a payment is not successfully settled due to expiration of a Recurring Payment Method, insufficient funds, or otherwise, Customer remains responsible for any amounts not remitted to Intercom and Intercom may, in its sole discretion, either (i) invoice Customer directly for the deficient amount, (ii) continue billing the Recurring Payment Method once it has been updated by Customer (if applicable) or (iii) terminate this Agreement.

d. Changing Recurring Payment Method Information. At any time, Customer may change its Recurring Payment Method information by entering updated information via the “Settings” page on the Dashboard.

e. Payment of Outstanding Fees. Upon any termination or expiration of the subscription, Intercom will charge Customer's Recurring Payment Method (or invoice Customer directly) for any outstanding fees for Customer's use of the Services during the Subscription Term, after which payment, Intercom will not charge Customer's Recurring Payment Method for any additional fees.

7.4. Suspension of Service. If Customer's account is thirty (30) days or more overdue, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies (including but not limited to any termination rights set forth herein), Intercom reserves the right to suspend Customer's access to the applicable Service (and any related services) without liability to Customer until such amounts are paid in full. Intercom also reserves the right to suspend Customer's access to the Services, without liability, if Customer's use of the Services is in violation of the AUP or this Agreement.

8. Term and Termination

8.1. Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and expires on the date of the last to expire Subscription Term under any Order Form, unless earlier terminated as set forth herein.

8.2. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement (including all related Order Forms) if the other party (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement (including a failure to pay fees) within thirty (30) days after written notice; (b) ceases operation without a successor; or (c) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors' arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against that party (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter).

8.3. Effect of Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, Customer will immediately cease any and all use of and access to all Services (including any and all related Intercom Technology) and delete (or, at Intercom's request, return) any and all copies of the Documentation, any Intercom passwords or access codes and any other Intercom Confidential Information in its possession. Customer acknowledges that following termination, it will have no further access to any Customer Data input into any Service, and that Intercom may delete any such data as may have been stored by Intercom at any time. Except where an exclusive remedy is specified, the exercise by either party of any remedy under this Agreement, including termination, will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, by law or otherwise.

9. Limited Warranty

9.1. Limited Warranty. Intercom warrants, for Customer's benefit only, that each Service will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation. Intercom's sole liability (and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty will be, at no charge to Customer, for Intercom to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the reported non-conformity, or if Intercom determines such remedy to be impracticable, either party may terminate the applicable Subscription Term and Customer will receive as its sole remedy a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of such Service for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. The limited warranty set forth in this Section 9.1 will not apply: (i) unless Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first noticed the non-conformity, (ii) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications or third-party hardware, software or services, or (iii) if Services are provided to Customer to use on a no-charge, trial, beta or evaluation basis.

9.2. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 9.1, ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS". NEITHER INTERCOM NOR ITS SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

12. Limitation of Liability

12.1. Consequential Damages Waiver. EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS (DEFINED BELOW), NEITHER PARTY (NOR ITS SUPPLIERS) SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

12.2. Liability Cap. EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS (DEFINED BELOW), EACH PARTY'S ENTIRE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO INTERCOM UNDER THE AGREEMENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12.3. Excluded Claims.” Excluded Claims” means any claim arising (a) from Customer's breach of Section 2.7 (General Restrictions); (b) under Section 3.5 (Customer Obligations) or 3.6 (Indemnification by Customer); or (c) from a party's breach of its obligations in Section 14 (Confidential Information) (but excluding claims arising from operation or non-operation of any Service or relating to Customer Data).

12.4. Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose. The parties agree that the waivers and limitations specified in this Section 12 apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contact, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

12.5. Applicable Law. The limitations on liability under this Section 12 will not apply to the extent such liability cannot be limited under applicable law.

13. Indemnification

Intercom will defend Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that a Service when used as authorized under this Agreement infringes any Intellectual Property Rights and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages and costs finally awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by Intercom (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from such claim, provided that Intercom will have received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Intercom to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer. If Customer's use of a Service is (or in Intercom's opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement or if Intercom determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, Intercom may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Service; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Subscription Term that was paid by Customer but not rendered by Intercom. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Intercom will not apply: (1) if such Service is modified by any party other than Intercom, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) if such Service is combined with products or processes not provided by Intercom, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorized use of such Service; (4) to any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within such Service; (5) to the extent the alleged infringement is not caused by the particular technology or implementation of the Service but instead by features common to any similar product or service; (6) to any action arising from Customer's use of Third Party Messaging Apps; or (7) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim without Intercom's prior written consent. THIS SECTION 13 SETS FORTH INTERCOM'S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.

14. Confidential Information

Each party (as “Receiving Party") agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information"), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any Intercom Technology, performance information relating to any Service, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of Intercom without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Intercom, the subcontractors referenced in Section 16.8 (Subcontractors)), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 14 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 14. The Receiving Party's confidentiality obligations will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

15. Publicity

Intercom may, upon Customer's prior written consent, use Customer's name to identify Customer as an Intercom customer of the Services, including on Intercom's public website. Intercom agrees that any such use shall be subject to Intercom complying with any written guidelines that Customer may deliver to Intercom regarding the use of its name and shall not be deemed Customer's endorsement of the Services.

16. General Terms

16.1. Assignment. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party's assets or voting securities. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorized under this Section 16.1 will be null and void.

16.2. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement will be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in effect.

16.3. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

a) Direct Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, (“Dispute"), the parties shall first use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute. If a Dispute arises, the complaining party shall provide written notice to the other party in a document specifically entitled “Initial Notice of Dispute,” specifically setting forth the precise nature of the dispute (“Initial Notice of Dispute"). If an Initial Notice of Dispute is being sent to Intercom it must be emailed to [email protected] and sent via mail to:

Attn: Legal Department Intercom 55 Second Street, 4th Fl., San Francisco, CA 94105

Following receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interest, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution of the Dispute that is satisfactory to both parties (“Direct Dispute Resolution"). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the Dispute through Direct Dispute Resolution within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute may subsequently be resolved in a court of law as set forth below.

b) Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. FOR ANY CLAIM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, CUSTOMER AGREES TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. IN ANY DISPUTE, CALIFORNIA LAW SHALL APPLY.

c) Construction and Joinder. THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE CONSTRUED AS IF IT WAS JOINTLY WRITTEN BY BOTH PARTIES. BOTH CUSTOMER AND INTERCOM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION, SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ADJUDICATED BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR.

d) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the above provisions, Intercom may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

16.4. Notice. Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Order Form or at such other address as may be given in writing by either party to the other in accordance with this Section and will be deemed to have been received by the addressee (i) if given by hand, immediately upon receipt; (ii) if given by overnight courier service, the first business day following dispatch (iii) if given by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, the second business day after such notice is deposited in the mail; or (iv) if given by email on the first business day after we send it. You agree that any electronic communication satisfies any applicable legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

16.5. Amendments; Waivers. Except as provided under “Modifications to this Agreement” and otherwise provided herein, no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party to this Agreement. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by Customer that may be referenced in the Order Form or otherwise issued by Customer will supersede or modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement (regardless of any statement to the contrary in such document), and any such document relating to this Agreement will be for Customer's convenience and administrative purposes only and will have no legal effect.

16.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Services are on-line, subscription-based products, and that in order to provide improved customer experience Intercom may make changes to the Services, and Intercom will update the applicable Documentation accordingly. The support and service level availability terms described in the Security Policy, the Support Policy, and the SLA may be updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing practices (but the modifications will not materially decrease Intercom's obligations as compared to those reflected in such terms as of the Effective Date).

16.7. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur after the signing of this Agreement and that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.

16.8. Subcontractors. Intercom may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to Intercom in order to provide the Services under this Agreement, provided that Intercom remains responsible for (i) compliance of any such subcontractor with the terms of this Agreement,(ii) for the overall performance of the Services as required under this Agreement, and (iii) compliance with the terms of the DPA.

16.9. Subpoenas. Nothing in this Agreement prevents Intercom from disclosing Customer Data to the extent required by law, subpoenas, or court orders, but Intercom will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer where permitted to do so.

16.10. Independent Contractors. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent

16.11. Export Control and Economic Sanctions. Each party: (i) agrees to comply with all export control and economic sanctions and any relevant import laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions, and (ii) represents and warrants that it is not listed on any U.S. or other government list of prohibited or restricted parties or located in (or a national of) a country that is subject to a U.S. government export control embargo or economic sanctions. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Customer will not (and will not permit any of its users to) access or use the Services in violation of any U.S. export control or economic sanction, prohibition or restriction, and (b) Customer will not submit to the Services any information that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or that is controlled under any Export Control Classification Number (other than EAR99) on the Commerce Control List of the Export Administration Regulations.

16.12. Government End-Users. Elements of the Services are commercial computer software. If Customer or end user of the Services is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government, then the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Services, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 (Computer Software) for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Commercial Computer Software Documentation) for military purposes. All Services were developed fully at private expense.

16.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will be considered one and the same agreement.
