In consideration of this Agreement, TYPEFORM will provide the Client with the possibility to use the Software and related Services (including, when applicable, SSO to collect, store and analyze data. Client shall be responsible for meeting any human and material resources (including, without limitation, complying with any hardware or software requirements) needed to use the Software and the Services correctly and safely, as these requirements are communicated to Client from time to time.
If SSO is requested by the Client, integration with the Client’s identity provider (IDP) will be required, leading this to the Client having to provide TYPEFORM with the following details to configure and enable the integration: IDP issuer URI, single sign-on IDP URL, and signature certificate. Setting up and further activation of SSO will be punctually performed by TYPEFORM as soon as the corresponding Order Form has been fully executed by the Parties, and requires the cooperation of the Client in obtaining and confirming the above-mentioned data sets. Parties acknowledge and agree that SSO is dependent on Client using an IDP supporting SAML, OAuth or OpenID, and SSO may not work on IDPs other than the ones referred above.
3.2. Ancillary Services. Subject to Client fully and timely complying with the obligations set forth in the Agreement and as part of the Services, TYPEFORM shall provide Client with technical support and assistance services in accordance with industry good practices and standards, by means of email the Help Center (https://www.typeform.com/help/ and/or https://www.videoask.com/help), the Contact Forms specially generated to serve Typeform or VideoAsk requests (https://www.typeform.com/help/contact/ and https://www.videoask.com/fn5pz0q1v, respectively), and/or by means of email dedicated to VideoAsk-related issues (support@videoask.com).
3.3. Customization. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Services (including, for clarification purposes, the Site and the Software), the Beta Services and any Materials are provided on an ‘as is’ basis, and have not been created or prepared to meet any specific requirements of the Client. Client shall be responsible for ensuring that it meets any material resources (including, without limitation, complying with any hardware or software requirements). If requested by Client and if mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, TYPEFORM may provide reasonable software customization services and/or new functionalities for the Software.
3.4. Beta Services. Client may be offered to take part in early access programs to use so-called alpha or beta versions of the Software or, in general, the Services or Materials (“Beta Services”). Beta Services may not work in accordance with the documentation or Materials provided to Client, or contain errors, defects or bugs, as Client acknowledges and agrees. Beta Services are not covered under any SLAs commitments under the Agreement, and TYPEFORM does not make any sort of representation and warranty, and disclaims any liabilities. Beta Services may be discontinued at any time, for no reason and without prior notice, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring TYPEFORM to release Beta Services as part of its regular Services.
Authorization to use the Software for the Services and Software Provisions
3.5. Authorization. Subject to the payment of the Price and to Client fully and timely complying with obligations set forth in this Agreement, TYPEFORM shall provide the Services to Client and its Authorized Users, including any access to the Software strictly necessary for the Services. The authorization in this Section shall only cover the Client organization, and is granted for Client’s business purposes only, excluding third parties or other parties directly or indirectly related to the Client. Reselling or leasing of the Software and/or the Services is strictly forbidden.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted to Client under this Agreement result in the ability to use as part of the Services the Software functionalities —as periodically made available and/or upgraded by TYPEFORM— by the number of Accounts identified in the Order Form(s). Client shall create Accounts (or, as the case may be, designate those Accounts already existing that should fall within the scope of each Order Form) and specific workspaces to enable Authorized Users collaboration, and TYPEFORM shall ensure that one of the Accounts —acting as the admin Account— is granted rights to control contents created by the rest of Accounts in such workspace(s).
3.6. Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement and provided that this MEA is in full force and effect, Affiliates of Client may benefit from the Services as long as TYPEFORM and said Affiliate(s) execute self-standing Order Form(s) in accordance with this MEA. Any such Order Form(s), which shall detail the Services at issue to be rendered by TYPEFORM, shall be fully subject to the terms of the MEA, which shall be construed, as the case may be, as referring to the Affiliate(s) instead of the Client.
3.7. Software modifications. Client acknowledges that TYPEFORM may update from time to time the Software, and that such updates may result in changes in its ‘look & feel’ and/or functionality. Software modifications shall not substantially impact the essential functionalities of the Software. TYPEFORM will make its best efforts to provide reasonable prior notice to Client. TYPEFORM will provide, implement, configure, install, support, and maintain at its own cost and expense any and all updates, upgrades, enhancements, improvements, releases, corrections, bug fixes, patches, and modifications to the Software. The authorization referred to in Section 3.5 above shall be automatically extended or automatically cover, as the case may be, to any modification of the Software.

For purposes of this Section:
(i) Number of Authorized Users, Authorized Responses and/or Authorized Minutes may be increased at any time by purchasing one-off add-on packages (“Add-on(s)”), subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable Order Form or subject to a further mutual agreement of the Parties.

(i) Passwords to use the Accounts shall neither be shared with any third-party nor within Client’s organization (e. g. by sharing passwords inside Client’s own entity, or with other companies part of its Group). Passwords shall not be written down for recovery purposes or any other purposes whatsoever. For clarification purposes, the Software is licensed in accordance with the terms and conditions in each applicable Order Form when it comes to number of licensed users (Authorized Users), and it cannot be used simultaneously by two different users.

Therefore, Client is required to collect these kinds of information by using the corresponding question blocks in the Software; (k) Carrying out activities such as vulnerability scanning, load testing, penetration tests or bypassing our security measures in any intended way, as well to ¡ monitor the availability, performance or functionality of the Services or the Software, or for benchmarking purposes. In the event that Client is interested in performing a penetration test, it shall (I) let TYPEFORM know in advance about its intention to carry out a penetration test, no less than fifteen (15) days in advance in respect of the date in which Client intends to carry out said penetration test; and (II) sign a release form, as proposed by TYPEFORM, releasing TYPEFORM of any liabilities and damages the penetration test may cause to it (or to any of its clients’) infrastructure, data and/ or business.

Client acknowledges that, in order to ensure compliance with legal obligations, prevent phishing or fraud or when unlawful content is reported to TYPEFORM, TYPEFORM may be required to review Client’s activity, and contents and responses used in connection with the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, Parties agree that TYPEFORM has no obligation to monitor or review any content submitted by Client.
TYPEFORM shall have the right to modify, prevent access to, delete, or refuse to host, display or make available those contents that are believed to violate the law or this Agreement, either by the way in which said contents are used as analyzed on their own or by the way they interoperate with other contents, entities or people. Except for those cases in which the contents at issue could automatically trigger TYPEFORM’s liability under applicable law or when it is necessary to act diligently to prevent harm to others, TYPEFORM will notify Client in advance about its intention to act against said contents and give Client reasonable time to respond and take any necessary actions. Failure to do so, will entitle TYPEFORM to remove the contents without being held liable to Client for any Losses.

Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify as set forth in this Section 7 in connection with any Losses for which indemnified Party has an obligation to indemnify the indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.
7.2. TYPEFORM indemnification
Breach of Intellectual Property or Other Proprietary Rights
TYPEFORM will defend Client against all Losses arising out of a breach of Section 6.3.(ii) above.

9. Term and Termination
9.1. Term. This MEA comes into effect on the Effective Date and shall be in force unless terminated by any Party by providing thirty (30) calendars day prior notice.
For the avoidance of doubt and despite a termination of this MEA in accordance with this Section 9, Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of this MEA shall subsist and remain fully in force for as long as there is an Order Form in force between the Parties, as the provisions of this MEA are incorporated by reference to any Order Form(s) in accordance with Section 2.1 above.

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Order Form, Order Forms shall come into effect in the date specified therein, and shall automatically renew at the end of each Term for consecutive terms equal to the duration of the Term unless early terminated in writing by either of the Parties by giving thirty (30) calendar days prior notice. In particular, auto-renewal shall not apply to any Consulting Services, set-up fees for SSO Services, or any Add-Ons placed by the Client.
9.3. Termination. A Party may also terminate the MEA and/or an Order Form: (a) When it is expressly authorized to do so under this MEA; (b) In the event that a Party breaches the Agreement, provided that the Party requesting the termination is not in breach of any of its obligations and gives written prior notice to the breaching Party of at least fifteen (15) calendar days, it being understood, however, that non-substantial and remediable breaches shall give the right to the Party in default to remedy any such breach within fifteen (15) days from the date on which the other Party notifies its will to terminate the Agreement.

9.4. Consequences of termination. Upon termination of the MEA and/or an Order Form(s) in place, all rights and obligations will cease to have effect and will terminate.

For the avoidance of doubt and unless the Client expressly requests to cancel its Accounts (action that will trigger the deletion of all data collected through the Software), termination of the relevant Order Form shall result in (i) the accounts covered under such Order Form being downgraded to ‘freemium’ Accounts and being fully subject to the terms and conditions published from time to time in the Site; (ii) Client being entitled to continue receiving the services which are available to all clients for free, and using the Software in the ‘freemium’ functionalities, as made available to any free user of the Software, and as provided by TYPEFORM from time to time.

Although Annex 1A and Clause 7 of the Approved EU SCCs require signature by the Parties, for the purpose of making Restricted Transfers, the Parties may enter into this Addendum in any way that makes them legally binding on the Parties and allows data subjects to enforce their rights as set out in this Addendum. Entering into this Addendum will have the same effect as signing the Approved EU SCCs and any part of the Approved EU SCCs.
Interpretation of this Addendum
Where this Addendum uses terms that are defined in the Approved EU SCCs those terms shall have the same meaning as in the Approved EU SCCs. In addition, the following terms have the following meanings:

If the meaning of this Addendum is unclear or there is more than one meaning, the meaning which most closely aligns with UK Data Protection Laws applies.

Incorporation of and changes to the EU SCCs
This Addendum incorporates the Addendum EU SCCs which are amended to the extent necessary so that:
together they operate for data transfers made by the data exporter to the data importer, to the extent that UK Data Protection Laws apply to the data exporter’s processing when making that data transfer, and they provide Appropriate Safeguards for those data transfers;
Sections 9 to 11 override Clause 5 (Hierarchy) of the Addendum EU SCCs; and
this Addendum (including the Addendum EU SCCs incorporated into it) is (1) governed by the laws of England and Wales and (2) any dispute arising from it is resolved by the courts of England and Wales, in each case unless the laws and/or courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland have been expressly selected by the Parties.

Amendments to this Addendum

From time to time, the ICO may issue a revised Approved Addendum which:
makes reasonable and proportionate changes to the Approved Addendum, including correcting errors in the Approved Addendum; and/or
reflects changes to UK Data Protection Laws;
The revised Approved Addendum will specify the start date from which the changes to the Approved Addendum are effective and whether the Parties need to review this Addendum including the Appendix Information. This Addendum is automatically amended as set out in the revised Approved Addendum from the start date specified.
If the ICO issues a revised Approved Addendum under Section 18, if any Party selected in Table 4 “Ending the Addendum when the Approved Addendum changes”, will as a direct result of the changes in the Approved Addendum have a substantial, disproportionate and demonstrable increase in:
its direct costs of performing its obligations under the Addendum; and/or
its risk under the Addendum,
and in either case it has first taken reasonable steps to reduce those costs or risks so that it is not substantial and disproportionate, then that Party may end this Addendum at the end of a reasonable notice period, by providing written notice for that period to the other Party before the start date of the revised Approved Addendum.
The Parties do not need the consent of any third party to make changes to this Addendum, but any changes must be made in accordance with its terms.
