Any changes that are made to these AppConnect Terms will not apply retroactively and will not apply to disputes or events occurring before the change is published. You are responsible for reviewing these AppConnect Terms on a regular basis.

Third Party Applications. You acknowledge that the Third Party Applications that are created, offered, supported and maintained by third parties (“Third Party Developers”) are not affiliated with Talkdesk. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these AppConnect Terms, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) you must use your own discretion when you access Third Party Applications through AppConnect and access Third Party Developer services; (b) you will read the terms and conditions and privacy policies associated with Third Party Applications as provided by Talkdesk or the applicable Third Party Developer as they will govern your use of the Third Party Applications; (c) Talkdesk does not own or control any of these Third Party Developers or the Third Party Applications, and you will not hold Talkdesk responsible or liable for any such Third Party Applications or acts or omissions of Third Party Developers, under any circumstances; and (d) the Third Party Applications and AppConnect are subject to further development, and may be modified or updated by Talkdesk or the applicable Third Party Developer at any time without notice to you.

You agree that you bear all risks associated with using or relying on Third Party Applications. If you have any questions about Third Party Applications or the terms that govern the use of the Third Party Applications, you should contact Third Party Developer of the Third Party Application directly.


Billing for Third Party Applications.

All subscriptions to Third Party Applications on AppConnect are month-to-month subscriptions, billed on the same payment method as your subscription to the Talkdesk Service, and billed directly by Talkdesk and not the applicable Third Party Developer.  The first month of your subscription to each Third Party Application shall be pro-rated as necessary such that your monthly billing cycle for such Third Party Application shall correspond to the same day of the month as your billing cycle for the Talkdesk Service, and you will receive a single monthly invoice for all Third Party Applications as well as your charges relating to the Talkdesk Service, if applicable under your subscription for the Talkdesk Service.

If you choose to upgrade your subscription plan or increase the number of agents who have access to a given Third Party Application, you will be charged a pro-rated fee for the remainder of the then-current billing cycle.  If you choose to downgrade your subscription plan or decrease the number of agents who have access to a given Third Party Application, you can contact [email protected] and such change will be effective upon the end of your current billing cycle, and no refunds will be given.

Dispute Resolution.  Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of AppConnect or a Third Party Application (a “Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration in San Francisco, California, from which arbitration there shall be no appeal. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the state of California, except that the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefore. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award damages in connection with any Dispute in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this Agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY.
