Prices specified in the Order Form may include discounts or promotional pricing. These discounts or promotional pricing amounts may be temporary and may expire upon the commencement of a Renewal Term, without additional notice. Zoom reserves the right to discontinue or modify any promotion, sale or special offer at its sole and reasonable discretion.

Tax exemptions. If You are exempt from any Tax or Fee, You will provide Zoom with all appropriate tax exemption certificates, and/or other documentation satisfactory to the applicable taxing authorities to substantiate such exemption status. Zoom reserves the right to review and validate tax exemption documentation. In the event that the tax exemption documentation is not valid, Zoom reserves the right to charge applicable taxes to You.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS; CHANGES
Payment of Taxes and Fees. You will pay to Zoom any applicable Taxes and Fees. You are solely responsible for paying any and all Taxes and Fees owing as a result of Zoom’s provision of the Services to You. If You are required to pay any Taxes and Fees, You shall pay such amounts with no reduction or offset in amounts payable to Zoom hereunder and You will pay and bear such additional amount, as shall be necessary such that Zoom receives the full amount of payment required as if no such reduction or offset were required.
Your use of the Services and Software requires one or more compatible devices, Internet access, and certain third-party software, and you may be required to obtain updates or upgrades from time to time for Software or third-party software, which may result in additional costs to you. Because use of the Services and Software involves hardware, software, and Internet access, your ability to access and use the Services and Software may be affected by the performance of the foregoing. High-speed Internet access is recommended. You are solely responsible for any fees that may apply to your access to or use of the Services and Software, including fees for hardware, software, Internet access, or text messages. You agree that the foregoing requirements are your responsibility, and Zoom may, in its sole discretion, discontinue availability or compatibility of the Services or Software, on a particular operating system, device, or platform.
VAT due by the customer. In the event Taxes and Fees are due towards the taxing authorities by You instead of Zoom, through the reverse charge or other similar mechanism, You will provide Zoom with all appropriate evidence for Zoom to demonstrate Your business nature, such as a valid VAT registration number (or similar information required under the relevant VAT laws). Zoom reserves the right to review and validate your VAT registration number. In the event that the VAT registration number is not valid, Zoom reserves the right to nevertheless charge applicable VAT to You. For the avoidance of doubt, if VAT is due by You to a taxing authority, through the reverse charge or other similar mechanism, You are solely responsible for paying those amounts to the relevant taxing authority such that Zoom receives the full amount of payment required.
Tax determination. Tax determination is principally based on the location where the Customer has established its business based on the Customer Data, or for individuals where that individual permanently resides. This will be defined by Zoom as Your ‘Sold To’ address. Zoom reserves the right to cross reference this location against other available evidence to validate whether Your location is accurate. In the event that Your location is inaccurate, Zoom reserves the right to charge You any outstanding Taxes and Fees.
USE OF BETA SERVICES
Use and enjoyment. If You purchase Zoom Services, and those Services are used and enjoyed by a subsidiary of You in a country that is different to Your location as determined by Section 9(e) of this TOS, You confirm that where required You will treat this as a supply to Your subsidiary. In the event You purchase Services and those Services are used and enjoyed by a branch or individual in a country that is different to Your location as determined by Section 9 (e) of this TOS, You acknowledge that You will inform Zoom of the Services that have been allocated and You acknowledge that Zoom reserves the right to charge Taxes and Fees based on the use and enjoyment of those Services.
If you use any beta services, products, or software offered or made available by Zoom, then you acknowledge that your use of the services, products, or software are governed by separate Beta Program Terms of Use and not by this Agreement.
TERMINATION. The Zoom website contains information on how to terminate Your Account. If you have purchased a Service for a specific term, such termination will be effective on the last day of the then-current term. Your Order Form may provide that a Renewal Term will begin automatically unless either party provides notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the next Renewal Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if You fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement, Zoom may terminate this Agreement immediately and retain any fees previously paid by You. Sections 1 and 3 through 22, inclusive, shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Upon any termination of this Agreement, You must cease any further use of the Services. You may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination for cause in the event Zoom has materially breached the Agreement and has not cured such material breach within thirty (30) days of Your written notice of such breach.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Zoom and/or its suppliers, as applicable, retain ownership of all proprietary rights in the Services and in all trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, and domain names (“Zoom Marks”) associated or displayed with the Services. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any Zoom Marks, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of Zoom without express written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing Zoom Marks without Zoom’s express written consent.
RECORDINGS
CONFIDENTIALITY.

You are responsible for compliance with all Laws governing the monitoring or recording of conversations as the Host or Phone Host. A Host or Phone Host can choose to record, for example, meetings, webinars, or a phone call. By using the Services, you authorize Zoom to store recordings. You will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled. If you do not consent to being recorded, you can choose to leave the recorded session.
Exclusions. “Confidential Information” shall not include Content or information that (a) is already rightfully known to a party at the time it is obtained from the other party, free from any obligation to keep such information confidential; (b) is or becomes publicly known or available through no wrongful act of a party; (c) is rightfully received from a third party without restriction and without breach of this TOS; or (d) is developed by a party without the use of any proprietary, non-public information provided by the other party under the Agreement.
Exception.

PROHIBITED USES
Confidentiality Period and Obligations. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this section of the TOS shall remain in effect for a period of five (5) years from the disclosure of the information. Both parties agree (a) to take reasonable steps to protect the other party’s Confidential Information, and these steps must be at least as protective as those the receiving party takes to protect its own Confidential Information, and no less than a reasonable standard of care; (b) to notify the disclosing party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information; and (c) in the event of any unauthorized disclosure by a receiving party, to cooperate with the disclosing party to help regain control of the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure of it.
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any End Users to, directly or indirectly: (i) use the Services or Software in violation of our Acceptable Use Guidelines (which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement); (ii) modify, customize, disassemble, decompile, prepare derivative works of, create improvements, derive innovations from, reverse engineer, or attempt to gain access to any underlying technology of the Services or Software, including any source code, process, data set or database, management tool, development tool, server or hosting site; (iii) knowingly or negligently use the Services or Software in a way that abuses, interferes with, or disrupts Zoom’s networks, your account, Host rights, or any other user rights, or the Services; (iv) engage in activity that is illegal under applicable Law, fraudulent, false, or misleading; (v) transmit through the Services or Software any material that may infringe, misappropriate, or violate the Proprietary Rights of third parties; (vi) build or benchmark a competitive product or service, or copy any features, functions, or graphics of the Services or Software; (vii) use the Services or Software for the development, production, or marketing of a service or product substantially similar to the Services or Software; (viii) use the Services or Software to communicate any message or material that is harassing, libelous, threatening, obscene, indecent, would infringe or violate the Proprietary Rights of any party, or is otherwise unlawful, or would give rise to civil or criminal liability, under any applicable Law; (ix) upload or transmit any software, Customer Content, or code that does or is intended to harm, disable, destroy, or adversely affect performance of the Services or Software in any way or which does or is intended to harm or extract information or data from other hardware, software, networks, or other users of the Services or Software; (x) engage in any activity or use the Services, Software, or your account in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or otherwise interfere with or disrupt the Services, Software, or any servers or networks connected to the Services or Zoom security systems; (xi) use the Services or Software in violation of any Zoom policy or in a manner that violates applicable Law, including anti-spam, import and export control, intellectual property, privacy, anti-terrorism, anti-bribery, foreign corrupt practices, and any other Laws requiring the consent of subjects of audio and video recordings; (xii) remove, delete, alter, or obscure any Proprietary Rights notices provided on or with the Services or Software, including any copy thereof; (xiii) make, use, or offer the Services or Software for lease, rent, or sale, or reproduce, resell, distribute, publish, display, assign, transfer, sublicense, lend, use on a timeshare or service bureau basis, or use the Services or Software for any commercial or other purpose that is not expressly permitted by this Agreement; or (xiv) make available the Services or Software, or any features or functionality thereof, to any third party for any reason or by any manner, unless expressly permitted by this Agreement or otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by you and Zoom.
