Below is a copy of the prior version of the Tymeshift Master Subscription Agreement, which is no longer effective for any new Tymeshift Subscriber as of September 13, 2023.

Version 1.05 (June 22 2023)

THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A BINDING CONTRACT ON YOU AND GOVERNS THE USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE TYMESHIFT SERVICES BY YOU, AGENTS AND END-USERS WHETHER IN CONNECTION WITH A PAID OR FREE TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION TO THE TYMESHIFT SERVICES. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT GOVERN YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO ANY OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY ZENDESK.

By accepting this Agreement, either by (1) accessing or using a Service, (2) authorizing or permitting any Agent or End-User to access or use a Service, or (3) clicking or checking “I agree” (or similar button or checkbox), You agree to be bound by this Agreement as of the date of such access or use of the Service (the “Effective Date”). If You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company, organization or another legal entity (an “Entity”), You are agreeing to this Agreement for that Entity and representing to Tymeshift that You have the authority to bind such Entity and its Affiliates to this Agreement, in which case the terms “Subscriber,” “You,” “Your” or a related capitalized term herein shall refer to such Entity and its Affiliates. If You do not have such authority, or if You do not agree with this Agreement, You must not use or authorize any use of the Services.

Each Party represents and warrants to the other that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms; (b) no authorization or approval from any third party is required in connection with such Party’s execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement does not and will not violate the terms or conditions of any other agreement to which it is a party or by which it is otherwise bound, or any applicable law or regulation.

The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms and conditions under which Subscriber may purchase Tymeshift Services as described in an applicable service Order Form.

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of any Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall control.

General Terms and Conditions

  1. ACCESS TO THE SERVICES

    1.1. Service. We will make the Services and Your Service Data available to You pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Order Form(s) and Documentation. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except (a) during Planned Maintenance Requiring Downtime (of which We will give advance notice via the Tymeshift Status Page or to the Account owner); and (b) for any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Our reasonable control, including, for example, a Force Majeure Event.

    1.2. Support. We provide applicable customer support for the Services to You as described on an applicable service Order Form.

    1.3. Modifications. You acknowledge that Tymeshift may modify the features and functionality of the Services during the Subscription Term. Tymeshift shall provide You with commercially reasonable advance notice of any deprecation of any material feature or functionality.

    1.4. Extension of Rights to Affiliates. You may extend Your rights, benefits and protections provided herein to Your Affiliates and to contractors or service providers acting on Your or Your Affiliates’ behalf, provided that You remain responsible for Your and their compliance hereunder.
  2. USE OF THE SERVICES

    2.1. Login Management. Access to and use of certain Tymeshift Services is restricted, such as to the specified number of individual Agents permitted under Your subscription to the applicable Service, as detailed in the Documentation. For Tymeshift Services that are Agent-based, You agree and acknowledge that an Agent login cannot be shared or used by more than one (1) individual per Account. However, Agent logins may be reassigned to new individuals replacing former individuals who no longer require ongoing use of the Services. You and Your Agents are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Agent login information for an Account. Absent a written license from Tymeshift expressly stating otherwise, You agree and acknowledge that You may not use the Tymeshift Services to circumvent the requirement for an individual Agent login for each individual who leverages the Tymeshift Services. Tymeshift reserves the right to charge You, and You hereby agree to pay, for any overuse of a Tymeshift Service in violation of this Agreement or the Service Plan features and limitations on the Site or Documentation, in addition to other remedies available to Tymeshift.

    2.2. Pricing. Cost is based on the plan selected and billing frequency selected and further information regarding Tymeshift plans is available online at: https://www.tymeshift.com/pricing.

    2.3. Compliance. As between You and Tymeshift, You are responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by Agents and End-Users and for any and all activities that occur under Your Account, which Tymeshift may verify from time to time. You agree that You, Your Agents and Your End-Users shall be jointly and severally responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to Your use of the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, You are solely responsible for ensuring that the use of the Services to store and transmit Service Data is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations as well as any and all privacy policies, agreements or other obligations You may maintain or enter into with Agents or End-Users. You also maintain all responsibility for determining whether the Services or the information generated thereby is accurate or sufficient for Your purposes.

    2.4. Content, Conduct and Restrictions. In Your use of the Services, You agree not to: (a) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time-share or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Services available to any third party, other than authorized Agents and End-Users in furtherance of Your internal business purposes as expressly permitted by this Agreement, unless expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by Tymeshift; (b) use the Services to Process data on behalf of any third party other than Agents or End-Users; (c) modify, adapt, or hack the Services or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems or networks; (d) use the Services in any unlawful manner, including, but not limited to, violation of any person’s privacy rights; (e) use the Services to send unsolicited or unauthorized bulk mail, junk mail, spam, other forms of duplicative or unsolicited messages or messages that directly or indirectly support pyramid schemes or other fraudulent activities; (f) use the Services to store or transmit files, materials, data, text, audio, video, images or other content that infringes on any person’s intellectual property rights; (g) use the Services in any manner that interferes with or disrupts the integrity or performance of the Services and its components; (h) attempt to decipher, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise discover the source code of any Software making up the Services; (i) use the Services to knowingly post, transmit, upload, link to, send or store any content that is (or directly or indirectly supports activities that are) unlawful, racist, hateful, abusive, libelous, obscene, or discriminatory; (j) use the Services to store or transmit any “protected health information” as defined in 45 C.F.R. 160.103 provided that You are a “business associate” or “covered entity” as defined in 45 C.F.R. 160.103, unless expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by Tymeshift; (k) use the Services to knowingly post, transmit, upload, link to, send or store any Malicious Software; (l) use or launch any automated system that accesses a Service (i.e., bot) in a manner that sends more request messages to a Service server in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional online web browser; or (m) attempt to use or use the Services in violation of this Agreement.

    2.5. System Requirements. A high-speed Internet connection is required for proper utilization of the Services. You are responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect Your network to the Services, including, but not limited to, browser software that supports protocols used by Tymeshift and to follow procedures for accessing services that support such protocols. We are not responsible for notifying You, Agents or End-Users of any upgrades, fixes or enhancements to any such software or for any compromise of data, including Service Data, transmitted across computer networks or telecommunications facilities (including but not limited to the Internet) which are not owned, operated or controlled by Tymeshift. We assume no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any connections as described in this section.

    2.6. Internal Business Purposes Only. Unless otherwise authorized by Tymeshift in this Agreement or expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by Tymeshift, You may not use the Services in any manner where You act as a service bureau or to provide any outsourced business process services on behalf of more than one (1) third party (other than Affiliates) through a single Account. For the avoidance of doubt, this section means You may not resell or outsource the Service(s) except as expressly authorized by Tymeshift. Without limiting the foregoing, Your right to access and use any Tymeshift Application Programming Interfaces (“APIs”) is also subject to the restrictions and policies implemented by Tymeshift from time to time with respect to the API as set forth in the Documentation or otherwise communicated to You in accordance with this Agreement.

    2.7. No Competitive Access. You may not access the Services for competitive purposes.
  3. TERM, CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

    3.1. Term. Unless Your Account and subscription to a Service is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or unless otherwise provided for in an Order Form, Your subscription to a Service will renew for a Subscription Term equivalent in length to the then expiring Subscription Term. Unless otherwise provided for in an Order Form, the Subscription Charges applicable to Your subscription to a Service for any such subsequent Subscription Term shall be Our standard Subscription Charges for the Services and the support plan to which You have subscribed or which You have deployed, as applicable, as of the time such subsequent Subscription Term commences.

    3.2. Cancellation. Either Party may elect to terminate Your Account and subscription to a Service as of the end of Your then current Subscription Term by providing notice, in accordance with this Agreement, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of such Subscription Term.

    3.3. Mutual Termination for Cause. A Party may terminate this Agreement for cause (a) upon written notice to the other Party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of the breaching Party’s receipt of such written notice; or (b) if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. However, Tymeshift may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause without notice if You violate Section 2.4 of this Agreement or if provision of the Tymeshift Services violates applicable law, regulation or court order.

    If this Agreement is terminated by You in accordance with this section, We will refund You any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the effective date of termination.

    If this Agreement is terminated by Us in accordance with this section, You will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term pursuant to all applicable Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees payable to Us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

    3.4. Payment Upon Termination. Except for Your termination under Section 3.3, if You terminate Your subscription to a Service or cancel Your Account prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term, or if We terminate or cancel Your Account pursuant to Section 3.3, in addition to any other amounts You may owe Tymeshift, You must immediately pay any then unpaid Subscription Charges associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term.

    3.5. No Refunds. Except for Your termination rights under Section 3.3, if You elect to terminate Your subscription to the Service or cancel Your Account prior to the end of Your then current Subscription Term, no refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You.

    3.6. Export of Service Data. During the Subscription Term, you can export your own data per our Documentation. For thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, upon Your written request, We will use all reasonable efforts to make your Service Data available to You for export or download as provided in the Documentation here. Thereafter, We will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Service Data, and, as provided in the Documentation, We will, unless prohibited by law or legal order, delete Your Service Data in Our Services in accordance with Tymeshift’s standard data deletion policies.
  4. BILLING, PLAN MODIFICATIONS AND PAYMENTS

    4.1. Payment and Billing. All Subscription Charges are due in full upon commencement of Your Subscription Term, unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or an Order Form. You are responsible for providing valid and current Account information and You agree to promptly update Your Account information, including payment information, with any changes that may occur (for example, a change in Your billing address or credit card expiration date). If You fail to pay Your Subscription Charges or other charges indicated on any Order Form within five (5) business days of Our notice to You that payment is delinquent, or if You do not update payment information upon Our request, in addition to Our other remedies, We may suspend or terminate access to and use of such Service by You, Agents and End-Users.

    4.2. Upgrades. If You choose to upgrade Your Service Plan or increase the number of Agents authorized to access and use a Service during Your Subscription Term, any incremental Subscription Charges associated with such upgrade will be charged in accordance with the remaining Subscription Term. In any future Subscription Term, Your Subscription Charges will reflect any such upgrades.

    4.3. Downgrades. You may not downgrade Your Service Plan or reduce the number of Agents under any Service Plan during Your Subscription Term. If You desire to downgrade Your Service Plan or reduce the number of Agents under any Service Plan for a subsequent Subscription Term, You must provide Tymeshift with thirty (30) days advance written notice prior to the end of Your then current Subscription Term. Downgrading Your Service Plan may generate additional costs and cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to You under Your Account, and Tymeshift does not accept any liability for such loss.

    4.4. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Our charges do not include any Taxes. You are responsible for paying Taxes and We will invoice You for such Taxes if We believe We have a legal obligation to do so and You agree to pay such Taxes if so invoiced.

    4.5. Payment by Credit Card. If You pay by credit card or certain other payment instruments, the Services provide an interface for the Account owner to change credit card information (e.g., upon card renewal). You hereby authorize Tymeshift (or an affiliate, including Zendesk) to bill Your credit card or other payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the Service Plan for the Services until Your subscription to the Services terminates, and You further agree to pay any Subscription Charges so incurred. Monthly payments must be paid online via credit card and cannot receive invoice terms.
  5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

    Each Party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure in the same manner as each Party protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each Party may use the other Party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall disclose such Confidential Information (a) solely to the employees and/or non-employee service providers and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality intended to prevent the misuse of such Confidential Information; (b) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The provisions of this Section 5 shall control over any non-disclosure agreement by and between the Parties and any such non-disclosure agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to the exchange of Confidential Information after the execution of this Agreement. To be clear, any exchange of Confidential Information prior to the execution of this Agreement shall continue to be governed by any such non-disclosure agreement.

To the extent Service Data constitutes Personal Data, You and the Tymeshift hereby agree that You shall be deemed to be the Data Controller, and Tymeshift shall be deemed to be the Data Processor, as those terms are understood under the Applicable Data Protection Law.

    7.2. Hosting and Processing. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to by Tymeshift, Service Data may be hosted by Tymeshift, or their respective authorized third-party service providers, in the United States, the EEA or other locations around the world.

Note that in providing the Services, Tymeshift may engage entities within its affiliated corporate group and other authorized service providers to Process Service Data, including and without limitation, any Personal Data within Service Data pursuant to this Agreement within the EEA, the United States and in other countries and territories.

    7.3. Transfer of Personal Data. To the extent that Personal Data within Service Data originates from an Agent or End-User in the EEA, as further described in our DPA, We will ensure that, pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Law, if Personal Data within Service Data is transferred to a country or territory outside of the EEA (a “non-EEA country”), then such transfer will only take place if: (a) the non-EEA country in question ensures an adequate level of data protection; (b) one of the conditions listed in Article 46 GDPR (or its equivalent under any successor legislation) is satisfied; or (c) the transfer is subject to the standard contractual clauses designed to facilitate transfers of Personal Data from the EEA to all third countries that have been adopted by the European Commission.

    7.4. Data Processing Agreement. Tymeshift’s DPA can be executed upon Subscriber’s written request. Upon execution by Subscriber, the DPA is hereby incorporated by reference herein into the terms of this Agreement.

We shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of members of Tymeshift Personnel and Sub-Processors to the same extent that We would be responsible if Tymeshift was performing the services of each Tymeshift Personnel or Sub-Processor directly under the terms of this Agreement. The names and locations of all current Sub-Processors used for the Processing of Personal Data under this Agreement are set forth here.

    7.6. Datacenter Location Selection. Subscribers that purchase Tymeshift’s Datacenter Selection Add-on in an applicable Order Form may elect to store their data in a specific datacenter location as indicated on such Order Form.

  8. TEMPORARY SUSPENSION

    We reserve the right to restrict functionality or suspend the Services (or any part thereof), Your Account or Your and/or Agents’ or End-Users’ rights to access and use the Services and remove, disable or quarantine any Service Data if (a) We reasonably believe that You, Agents or End-Users have violated this Agreement; or (b) We suspect or detect any Malicious Software connected to Your Account or use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users. This right includes the removal or disablement of Service Data in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or other applicable copyright laws. Unless legally prohibited from doing so, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact You directly via email to notify You when taking any of the foregoing actions. We shall not be liable to You, Agents, End-Users or any other third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuation of Your rights to access and use the Services. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity by You, Agents or End-Users may be referred to law enforcement authorities at Our sole discretion.
  9. EVALUATIONS, TRIALS, AND BETAS

    9.1. "No-Charge Products". Your use of any No-Charge Product(s) is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted during the Subscription Term we designate (or, if not designated, until terminated in accordance with this Agreement). Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 2.4 (Content, Conduct and Restrictions), fully apply to No-Charge Products. We may modify or terminate your right to use No-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release and beta Services, and any pre-release and beta features within generally available Services, that we make available (collectively, “Beta Versions”) are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Services. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this Section 9. All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of any No-Charge Products (including Beta Versions) constitutes our Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to No-Charge Products, including any Support, warranty and indemnity obligations. ANY SERVICE DATA YOU ENTER INTO A NO-CHARGE PRODUCT, AND ANY CONFIGURATIONS OR CUSTOMIZATIONS MADE TO A NO-CHARGE PRODUCT BY OR FOR YOU MAY BE PERMANENTLY LOST. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THESE TERMS, OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU IN RESPECT OF NO-CHARGE PRODUCTS WILL BE US$100.

    9.2. Sandbox Access. Subscribers to the Enterprise plan may request access to one (1) sandbox account which is tied to their Zendesk Sandbox Domain. Sandbox accounts are considered No-Charge Products under this Agreement.
  10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    Each Party shall retain all rights, title and interest in any Intellectual Property Rights. The rights granted to You, Agents and End-Users to use the Service(s) under this Agreement do not convey any additional rights in the Service(s) or in any Intellectual Property Rights of Tymeshift associated therewith. Subject only to limited rights to access and use the Service(s) as expressly stated herein, all rights, title and interest in and to the Services and all hardware, Software and other components of or used to provide the Services, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, will remain with Tymeshift and belong exclusively to Tymeshift.

Tymeshift also reserves the right to seek intellectual property protection for any features, functionality or components that may be based on or that were initiated by suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback We receive from You, Agents, End-Users, or other third parties acting on Your behalf.
  11. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

    11.1. Authority. Each Party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.

We warrant that during an applicable Subscription Term (a) this Agreement and the Documentation will accurately describe the applicable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data; and (b) the Services will perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
  12. INDEMNIFICATION

    12.1. Indemnification by Us. We will indemnify and hold You harmless from and against any claim brought by a third party against You by reason of Your use of a Service as permitted hereunder, alleging that such Service infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret (an “IP Claim”). We shall, at Our expense, defend such IP Claim and pay damages finally awarded against You in connection therewith, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the attorneys engaged by Tymeshift for such defense, provided that (a) You promptly notify Tymeshift of the threat or notice of such IP Claim; (b) We will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such IP Claim (however, We shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by You without Your prior written consent); and (c) You fully cooperate with Tymeshift in connection therewith. If use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users has become, or, in Our opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, We may, at Our option and expense, (i) procure for You the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (iii) if options (i) or (ii) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by Tymeshift, terminate Your subscription to the Service(s) and repay You, on a pro-rata basis, any Subscription Charges previously paid to Tymeshift for the corresponding unused portion of Your Subscription Term for such Service(s). We will have no liability or obligation under this Section 12.1 with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (x) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by You; (y) modification of the Service(s) by anyone other than Tymeshift or Tymeshift Personnel; or (z) the combination, operation or use of the Service(s) with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing. The provisions of this Section 12.1 state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of Tymeshift to You and constitute Your sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users.

    12.2. Indemnification by You. You will indemnify and hold Tymeshift harmless against any claim (a) arising from or related to use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users in breach of this Agreement; or (b) alleging that Your use of the Service or Your Service Data infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret; provided (i) We promptly notify You of the threat or notice of such claim; (ii) You will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such claim (however, You shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by Us without Our prior written consent); and (iii) We fully cooperate with You in connection therewith.
  13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    13.1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) WILL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA (BEING DATA LOST IN THE COURSE OF TRANSMISSION VIA YOUR SYSTEMS OR OVER THE INTERNET THROUGH NO FAULT OF TYMESHIFT), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COSTS OF COVER OR REPLACEMENT, OR FOR ANY TYPE OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.

    13.2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, TYMESHIFT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, ANY AFFILIATE, OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES PAID BY YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 13.2 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF WE WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. WE HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN WILL APPLY IN AGGREGATE TO SUBSCRIBER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

    13.3. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or for personal injury or death, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to You. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, TYMESHIFT’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

    13.4. Any claims or damages that You may have against Tymeshift shall only be enforceable against Tymeshift and not any other entity or its officers, directors, representatives or agents.

    14.4. Promoting the Services. We may share aggregated and/or anonymized information regarding Your use of the Services with third parties for marketing purposes based on Our legitimate interest under Applicable Data Protection Law to develop and promote Service(s).
