Neither party will either have, or represent itself to have, any authority to bind the other party or act on its behalf. Nothing in these Terms is intended or shall be construed as a third party beneficiary agreement, nor shall these Terms confer, convey or be deemed to accord any rights to any third party. For clarity: (a) Platform Reseller is not a third-party beneficiary of these Terms; (b) You are not a third-party beneficiary of any agreement between us and Platform Reseller; and (c) we are not a party to any Order or other agreement between you and Platform Reseller; provided, however, that we are a third-party beneficiary with respect an Order as it relates to these Terms.
(b) Force Majeure. If either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its obligations under these Terms due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, e.g., war, riots, labor unrest, fire, earthquake, flood, hurricane, other natural disasters and acts of God, Internet service failures or delays, and denial of service attacks (collectively, “Force Majeure”), the affected party’s performance will be excused for the resulting period of delay or inability to perform. The affected party must, however, (a) give the other party prompt written notice of the nature and expected duration of such Force Majeure, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the delay and other effects, (c) periodically notify the other party of significant changes in the status of the Force Majeure, and (d) notify the other party promptly when the Force Majeure ends. A Force Majeure will not excuse you, or Platform Reseller on your behalf, from paying amounts due under any Order subject to these Terms.
(c) Notices. Any notice under or in connection with these Terms shall be in writing and shall be sent by nationally recognized (in the country of the sending party) overnight courier or certified mail (return receipt requested) to the address for notice that you provide in the Order (in the case of notice to you) and the then-current address of our corporate headquarters set forth on our corporate website at www.kustomer.com (in the case of notice to us). Additionally, we may notify you via the e-mail address you provide in the Order. All notices shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given immediately upon delivery by electronic mail (provided that the sender does not receive a response that the message could not be delivered); or, if otherwise delivered to a party’s physical address upon the earlier of receipt or two (2) business days after being deposited in the mail or with a courier as permitted above. Either party may change its notice address by written notice to the other party by email or otherwise as described above.
(d) Assignment. You may not assign or otherwise transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment or attempt to do so other than as provided in this Section 11(d) will be void.

(e) Waiver, Modification, Severability, Cumulative Remedies, Construction.
(i) Waiver, Modification. Except as otherwise provided herein, any waiver, amendment or other modification of these Terms will not be effective unless in a physical writing, manually executed by the parties (e.g., no e-mail correspondence or other form of electronic contracting shall serve to amend, modify or waive any portion of these Terms). No other course of conduct shall operate to waive, amend or modify these Terms. The waiver by either party of any of its rights or remedies in a particular instance will not be construed as a waiver of the same or different right or remedy in subsequent instances.
(ii) Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall either be: (A) revised only to the extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and such revision shall not affect the enforceability: (I) of such provision under other circumstances; or (II) of the remaining provisions hereof under any circumstances; or (B) if such revision is not possible, severed from these Terms and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
(iii) Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, all remedies set forth in these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity, statutory or otherwise.
(iv) Agreement Drafting. Each party has had the opportunity to consult legal counsel with respect to the terms and conditions of these Terms. These Terms will be fairly interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either party based on such party’s drafting of the terms.
(v) Construction. Words importing the singular include the plural, words importing any gender include every gender and words importing persons include entities, corporate and otherwise; and (in each case) vice versa. The section headings are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of these Terms. Whenever the terms “including” or “include” are used in these Terms in connection with a single item or a list of items within a particular classification (whether or not the term is followed by the phrase “but not limited to” or words of similar effect) that reference shall be interpreted to be illustrative only, and shall not be interpreted as a limitation on, or an exclusive enumeration of, the items within such classification.
(f) Publicity. Neither party shall refer to the identity of the other party in promotional material, publications or other forms of publicity relating to its products and services unless the prior written consent of the other party has been obtained; provided, however, that you agree that we may use your name and logo to list you as a customer on our website and in other marketing materials distributed by us (which may include web and print materials) at all times subject to any written guidelines that you may deliver to us regarding the use of your name and logo unless you advise us, in writing, that you do not consent to such use.
(g) Survival. Sections that by their nature, or to give effect to their meaning, must survive expiration or termination of these Terms, shall survive any expiration or termination of these Terms.
(h) Governing Law. These Terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., excluding its conflicts of laws principles. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the existence, validity, breach or termination thereof, whether during or after the Term, will be brought in the federal or state courts having jurisdiction over New York County, New York, to whose exclusive jurisdiction the parties hereby irrevocably submit for such purposes. Both parties hereby exclude the application of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (“UCITA”), the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (“CISG”) and any law of any jurisdiction that would apply UCITA or CISG or terms equivalent to UCITA or CISG to these Terms.
(i) Entire Agreement. These Terms and any schedules, exhibits and other documents expressly incorporated herein or therein, constitute the complete and entire statement of all terms, conditions and representations of the agreement between us and you with respect to its subject matter and supersede all prior agreements, writings or understandings, whether oral or in writing. No terms or conditions stated in any purchase order or in any other order documentation we may receive from you shall be incorporated into, or form any part of, these Terms, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void.
(j) Additional Terms for Certain Features. The provision and use of certain features of the Platform (including certain ancillary services) are subject to service-specific supplemental terms. We will notify you of service-specific supplemental terms (if any) applicable to such features or functionality by including or incorporating them into an Order via hyperlink or other reference or presenting them prior to your activation of, continued use of, or access to, such features or functionality. Your activation of, continued use of, or access to such features or functionality will be considered acceptance of the service-specific supplemental terms, as applicable. The service-specific supplemental terms, as updated from time to time, are currently available at https://www.kustomer.com/legal/supplemental-terms/.
(i) Additional Features. If we offer additional features or functionality that are available or enabled through the Platform, with or without charge, we will notify you of supplemental terms (if any) applicable to such additional features or functionality prior to your activation of or access to such additional features or functionality. Your activation of, or access to such additional features or functionality will be considered acceptance of the applicable supplemental terms where applicable. The supplemental terms are currently available at https://www.kustomer.com/legal/supplemental-terms/
(k) Incorporation of Terms; Conflict. These Terms govern your access and use of the Platform in connection with an Order between you and a Platform Reseller. You acknowledge the agreement between us and Platform Reseller that authorized the Platform Reseller as a reseller or a managed service provider requires Platform Reseller to incorporate these Terms into all Orders, and you expressly agree that we shall have the benefit of and right to enforce these Terms against you. In the event any provision of these Terms is deemed to conflict with a provision of an Order or other agreement between you and Platform Reseller with respect to the Platform or other subject matter of these Terms, the applicable provision of these Terms shall control as between you and Kustomer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the agreement between You and a Platform Reseller: (i) shall not modify any of the terms set forth herein, and (ii) is not binding on us.
(l) Anti-Corruption. You acknowledge that neither you nor any of your employees or representatives have received or been offered any illegal or otherwise improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of our employees, representatives or agents in connection with any Order subject to these Terms. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If you learn of any violation of the above restriction, you will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify us at legal@kustomer.com.
(m) Changes to these Terms. We may modify these Terms at any time by posting a revised version at https://www.kustomer.com/legal/reseller-pass-through-terms/, which modifications will become effective as of the first day of the calendar month following the month in which they were first posted; provided, however, that if an Order specifies a fixed term of 12 months or longer, the modifications will instead be effective immediately upon the start of the next renewal term, if any. In either case, if you object to the updated Terms, as your sole and exclusive remedy, you may choose not to renew your subscription to the Platform, including canceling with Platform Reseller any terms set to auto-renew. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of the Terms in effect at the time of such Order.
