Customer Terms of Service
These Customer Terms of Service (the "Customer Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when using our developer tools and platform (the "Services"). These Customer Terms also apply if you purchase any expert services that we offer to help our customers launch, accelerate or optimize their use of the Services ("Expert Services"). Please read these Customer Terms carefully. If you are a Customer (defined below), these Customer Terms govern your access and use of our Services and any Expert Services you receive from us. If you are an individual that a Customer is inviting to use the Services, the User Terms of Service (the "User Terms") govern your access and use of the Services.
THE CONTRACT
These "Customer Terms" Form a Part of a Binding "Contract"
These Customer Terms (or, if applicable, your written agreement with us) and any Order Form(s) (defined below) together form a binding "Contract" between Customer and us. If any terms in the Customer-Specific Supplement apply to Customer (e.g., if Customer is a U.S. government entity), those terms are also incorporated herein by reference and form part of the Contract. "We," "our" and "us" refers to the applicable Retool entity in the section entitled "Which Retool Entity is Customer Contracting With?" below.
Your Agreement On Behalf of "Customer"
If you purchase subscription(s) to the Services, invite individuals to use the Services, purchase Expert Services, or use or allow use of the Services after being notified of a change to these Customer Terms, you acknowledge your understanding of the then-current Contract and agree to the Contract on behalf of Customer. Please make sure you have the necessary authority to enter into the Contract on behalf of Customer before proceeding.
CUSTOMER CHOICES AND CONFIGURATIONS
Who is "Customer"?
"Customer" is the organization that you represent in agreeing to the Contract. If the Services are being set up by someone who is not formally affiliated with an organization, Customer is the individual setting them up. If you signed up for a plan using your corporate email domain, your organization is Customer, and Customer can modify and re-assign roles for your Services (including your role) and otherwise exercise its rights under the Contract. If Customer elects to replace you as the representative with ultimate authority for the Services, we will provide you with notice following such election and you agree to take any actions reasonably requested by us or Customer to facilitate the transfer of authority to a new representative of Customer.
Who is an "Authorized User"?
Under the Contract, an "Authorized User" is an individual, such as an employee, contractor or client of Customer, who is invited by Customer to use the Services. Depending on the subscription plan in effect and how Customer elects to configure the Services, Authorized Users may have varying levels of roles, access and permission. For example, Authorized Users with broad access and permission may be able to build applications, workflows and processes using the Services (each, a "Custom App"), while others may only be able to access Custom Apps as end users.
How can "Custom Apps" be Built and Used?
Custom Apps are configured by dragging and dropping one or more of Retool's building blocks, such as its tables, lists, charts, maps and wikis onto a blank canvas, and organizing them into a user-interface. Using various APIs and integrations through the Services, these components can be connected to almost any database or data resource of Customer's choosing (each, when connected, a "Database") so that Authorized Users can use the Custom Apps to run queries, business logic and/or workflows.
What is "Customer Data"?
"Customer Data" is any data or content that an Authorized User submits to a Custom App, for example, when they query a Database. Customer may exclusively provide us with instructions on what to do with Customer Data. For example, Customer may provision or deprovision access to Customer Data from any Custom Apps, enable or disable third party integrations, and manage permissions, retention and export settings. Since these choices and instructions may result in the access, use, disclosure, modification or deletion of certain or all Customer Data, please review the Documentation for more information about these choices and instructions.
Customer will (a) inform Authorized Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of Custom Apps and of any settings that may impact the processing of Customer Data; and (b) ensure the transfer and processing of Customer Data under the Contract is lawful.
Ordering Subscriptions
Subscriptions allow Customer and its Authorized Users to access the Services and to build, edit and use Custom Apps. A subscription is required for each individual and may be procured through the Services interface, or in some cases, via an order form entered into between Customer and us (each, an "Order Form"). Please see the Documentation for more information on how to procure subscriptions, how to invite Authorized Users and how the types of Authorized Users are categorized. Subscriptions commence when we make them available to Customer and continue for the term specified in the Services "check-out" interface ("Subscription Page") or in the Order Form, as applicable. We sometimes enter into other kinds of ordering arrangements, but that would need to be spelled out and agreed to in an Order Form. During an active subscription term, adding more subscriptions is fairly easy. Unless the Order Form says otherwise, Customer may invite additional Authorized Users at the price stated in the Order Form and all will terminate on the same date.
Purchasing Decisions
We may share information about our future product plans because we like transparency. Our public statements about those product plans are an expression of intent, but do not rely on them when making a purchase. If Customer decides to buy our Services, that decision should be based on the functionality or features we have made available today and not on the delivery of any future functionality or features.
Choosing to be a Beta Tester
Occasionally, we look for beta testers to help us test our new features. These features will be identified as "beta" or "pre-release," or words or phrases with similar meanings (each, a "Beta Product"). Beta Products may not be ready for prime time so they are made available "as is," and any warranties or contractual commitments we make for other Services do not apply. Should Customer encounter any faults with our Beta Products, we would love to hear about them; our primary reason for running any beta programs is to iron out issues before making a new feature widely available.
Feedback is Welcome
The more suggestions our customers make, the better the Services or Expert Services become. If Customer sends us any feedback or suggestions regarding the Services or Expert Services, there is a chance we will use it, so Customer grants us (for itself and all of its Authorized Users and other Customer personnel) an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use any such feedback or suggestions for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to Customer, any Authorized User or other Customer personnel. If we choose not to implement the suggestion, please don't take it personally. We appreciate it nonetheless.
Retool as a Platform
The Services are designed to be flexibly configured based on the needs and objectives of each particular organization. To that end, the Services may enable Customer to access integrations with Customer's own, or a third party's, databases, data resources, applications, artificial intelligence bots or engines and other software components that complement or interoperate with Customer's use of the Services (each, a "Non-Retool Product"). THESE ARE NOT OUR DATABASES, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, SO WE DO NOT WARRANT OR SUPPORT THEM, AND, ULTIMATELY, CUSTOMER (AND NOT US) WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO ENABLE THEM. ANY USE OF A NON-RETOOL PRODUCT IS SOLELY BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND THE APPLICABLE THIRD PARTY PROVIDER.
If Customer connects, installs or enables Non-Retool Products for use with the Services or any Custom Apps, please be mindful of any Customer Data that will be shared with the third party provider and the purposes for which the provider requires access. We will not be responsible for any use, disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data that is transmitted to, or accessed by, a Non-Retool Product. Check out our Documentation for more information.
Privacy Policy
Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use and performance of our websites and products.
Expert Services
You may be able to purchase Expert Services depending on the type of Services subscription plan that you have with Retool. If Expert Services are available under your Services subscription plan and you wish to receive Expert Services, you must enter into an Order Form with Retool. If you purchase any Expert Services, the Retool Expert Services Addendum will also apply and is incorporated by reference into this Contract
RESPONSIBILITIES OF CUSTOMER
Use of the Services
Customer, including its Authorized Users, must at all times comply with the Contract and the Acceptable Use Policy. We may review conduct for compliance purposes, but we have no obligation to do so. Customer, and not Retool, is responsible for ensuring that (a) it's configuration of the Services and Custom Apps, including the types of data and information queried, collected, inputted and processed, are lawful and suitable for Customer's particular purposes, (b) any actions or decisions Customer takes based on the Services and Custom Apps, regardless of any results, reports or recommendations generated by Retool, are lawful, and (c) all Authorized Users are over the applicable statutory legal age.
Responsibilities To, and For, Authorized Users
Customer will (a) inform Authorized Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to Customer's use of the Services, Customer Apps and of any settings that may impact the collection, input and processing of Customer Data, and (b) ensure any submission, transfer, processing or use of Customer Data is lawful.
Our Removal Rights
If we believe that there is a violation of the Contract that can simply be remedied by Customer's removal of certain Customer Data, Custom Apps or Customer's reconfiguration of the Services or disabling of a Non-Retool Product, we will, in most cases, ask Customer to take direct action rather than intervene. However, we may directly step in and take what we determine to be appropriate action, if Customer does not take appropriate action, or if we believe there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Services, Authorized Users, or any third parties.
PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
Services Fees
For annual Services subscription plans, and for certain monthly Services subscription plans that have been pre-approved by Retool, your Services fees will be due to Retool immediately in advance of the start of the subscription plan, including any renewals of the subscription plan (such plans being "Prepaid Plans"). Fees for Prepaid Plans will be specified on the Subscription Page, based on the monthly quantity of Authorized Users that you specify on the Subscription Page.
For monthly Services subscription plans that are not also a Prepaid Plan, your Services fees will be based on (i) your actual usage for the applicable monthly billing period; and (ii) Retool's then-current rates for Authorized Users. At the end of each monthly billing cycle, Retool will invoice you for such monthly fees, which will be immediately due to Retool.
Payment obligations for the Services are non-cancellable, and except as expressly stated in the Contract, fees paid are non-refundable. All Services fees will be paid by Customer via a valid credit card. Customer authorizes Retool, its agents and Customer's financial institution to charge any credit card submitted by Customer for all fees due to Retool under the Contract, including fees for renewed subscription plans and, if applicable, any overages accrued as described below.
Subscription Overages
If Customer exceeds the monthly usage limits applicable to its Services subscription plan (whether such plan is a Prepaid Plan or a non-Prepaid Plan), including Authorized User limits for Prepaid Plans and other usage limits specified by Retool at https://retool.com/pricing, Customer agrees to pay Retool the fees applicable to such excess use.
Expert Services
If applicable, Expert Services fees will be set forth in the Order Form. Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, full payment for Expert Services must be received within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Payment obligations for Expert Services are non-cancellable, and except as expressly stated in the Contract, fees paid are non-refundable.
Taxes
Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income. Should any payment for the Services and/or Expert Services be subject to withholding tax by any government, Customer will reimburse us for such withholding tax.
Late Payments
If Retool does not receive Customer's payment of any fees due under this Contract by the applicable due date, Retool may immediately, without limiting its other rights and remedies under this Contract and its sole discretion, (i) terminate access to or suspend the Services and/or Expert Services, as applicable, upon written notice to Customer (which may be provided via email to Customer's designated billing contact) until such amounts are paid in full; or (ii) upon written notice to Customer, downgrade Customer's current Services subscription plan to a free Services subscription plan.
Credits
Any credits that may accrue to Customer's account (for example, from a promotion), will expire following expiration or termination of the applicable Contract, will have no currency or exchange value, and will not be transferable or refundable.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Providing the Services
Customer isn't the only one with responsibilities; we have some, too. We will (a) make the Services available to Customer and its Authorized Users as described in the Contract; and (b) not use or process Customer Data for any purpose without Customer's prior written instructions; provided, however, that "prior written instructions" will be deemed to include use of the Services by and on behalf of Authorized Users in connection with the Services and any processing related to such use or otherwise necessary for the performance of the Contract.
Be assured that (a) the Services will perform materially in accordance with our then-current Documentation; and (b) subject to the "Retool as a Platform" section, we will not materially decrease the functionality of the Services during a subscription term. For any breach of a warranty in this section, Customer's exclusive remedies are those described in the sections titled "Termination for Cause" and "Effect of Termination".
Keeping the Services Available
For our cloud-based Services, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, excluding planned downtime. We expect planned downtime to be infrequent but will endeavor to provide Customer with advance notice (e.g., through the Services), if we think it may exceed five (5) continuous minutes.
Protecting Customer Data
The protection of Customer Data is a top priority for us so we will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards at a level not materially less protective than as described in our Security Practices page. Those safeguards will include measures for preventing unauthorized access, use, modification, deletion and disclosure of Customer Data by our personnel. Before sharing Customer Data with any of our third party service providers, we will ensure that the third party maintains, at a minimum, reasonable data practices for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Customer Data and preventing unauthorized access. Further, the terms of the Retool Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") posted as of the Effective Date are hereby incorporated by reference. To the extent Customer Data contains Personal Data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland are processed by us, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply, as further set forth in the DPA. For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses, Customer and its applicable Affiliates are each the data exporter, and Customer's acceptance of this Agreement, and an applicable Affiliate's execution of an Order Form, shall be treated as its execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and Appendices. Customer (not us) bears sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of Customer Data when in Customer's or its representatives' or agents' Databases, possession or control. We are not responsible for what Customer's Authorized Users or Non-Retool Products do with Customer Data. That is Customer's responsibility.
The Retool Extended Family
We may leverage our employees, those of our corporate affiliates and third party contractors (the "Retool Extended Family") in exercising our rights and performing our obligations under the Contract. We will be responsible for the Retool Extended Family's compliance with our obligations under the Contract.
OWNERSHIP AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
What's Yours is Yours
As between us on the one hand, and Customer and its Authorized Users on the other, Customer will own all Customer Data and Custom Apps, but excluding the components of the Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract, Customer (for itself and all of its Users) grants us and the Retool Extended Family a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited term license to access, use, process, copy, distribute, perform, export and display Customer Data, Custom Apps and any Non-Retool Products created or deployed by or for Customer, only as reasonably necessary (a) to provide, maintain and improve the Services; (b) to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; (c) as required by law, to prevent fraud, or as permitted by the Data Request Policy; and (d) as expressly permitted in writing by Customer.
And What's Ours is Ours
We own and will continue to own our Services and all components thereof, including all related intellectual property rights. We may make these components available on-premises or for download, for example, via app stores, license keys or other channels, as part of the Services. We grant to Customer a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited license for Customer and its Authorized Users to use the object code version of these components, but solely as necessary to use the Services and in accordance with the Contract and the User Terms. All of our rights not expressly granted by this license are hereby retained.
Improvements to the Service
We are continuously striving to provide a better product and experience for our customers. To do that, we may collect and analyze information relating to the use, configuration and performance of the Services (collectively "Usage Information") for purposes of improving the Services. Any improvements we derive from Usage Information may benefit Customer, as well as other customers generally given the nature of the Services, whether it be a shared platform, multi-tenant environment, and/or unified code base. In no event will our use of Usage Information result in the identification of Customer to any third party (e.g., other customers) or the disclosure of Customer Data.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Contract Term
As further described below, a subscription has a term that may expire or be terminated. The Contract remains effective until all subscriptions ordered under the Contract have expired or been terminated or the Contract itself terminates. Termination of the Contract will terminate all subscriptions and all Order Forms.
Auto-Renewal
Unless an Order Form says something different, (a) all subscriptions automatically renew (without the need to go through the Services-interface "check-out" or execute a renewal Order Form) for additional periods equal to one (1) year or the preceding term, whichever is shorter; and (b) the per-unit pricing during any automatic renewal term will remain the same as it was during the immediately prior term. To opt-out of automatic renewal of Customer's paid Services subscription plan, Customer must go to its Billing settings and downgrade to a non-paid subscription plan. Retool may give Customer notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of a subscription term.
Termination for Cause
We or Customer may terminate the Contract on notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches the Contract and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides notice of the breach. Customer is responsible for its Authorized Users, including for any breaches of this Contract caused by its Users. We may terminate the Contract immediately on notice to Customer if we reasonably believe that the Services are being used by Customer or its Users in violation of applicable law.
Termination Without Cause
Customer may terminate its free subscriptions immediately without cause. We may also terminate Customer's free subscriptions without cause, but we will provide Customer with thirty (30) days prior written notice.
Effect of Termination
Upon any termination for cause by Customer, we will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by us, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of those subscriptions after the effective date of termination. In no event will any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees payable to us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
Data Portability and Deletion
During the term of a subscription, Customer will be permitted to export Customer Data via the cloud-based Services; provided, that Customer acknowledges and agrees that such ability to export may be limited by the applicable Services plan in effect, Customer's particular configuration of Custom Apps, and the data retention settings enabled by Customer. Customer further understands that there are currently no features or functionality made available by us that enables or assists the export, transfer, translation or transition of Custom Apps off of the Services. Following the Term, Retool shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data or Custom Apps, and upon Customer's deletion of its account, Retool shall, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data and Custom Apps in its systems or otherwise in its possession or under its control in accordance with the practices set forth on its Security Practices Page.
REPRESENTATIONS; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
Customer represents and warrants that it has validly entered into the Contract and has the legal power to do so. Customer further represents and warrants that it is responsible for the conduct of its Authorized Users and their compliance with the terms of this Contract and the User Terms. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, THE SERVICES AND ALL RELATED COMPONENTS AND INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND RETOOL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT ITS PARTICULAR CONFIGURATIONS OF, AND INTEGRATIONS WITH, ITS CUSTOM APPS MAY IMPACT LATENCY, AVAILABILITY, OPTIMIZATION AND PERFORMANCE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT RETOOL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, STABLE, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE. EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY BETA SERVICES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS" WITH RESPECT TO ITS PERFORMANCE, SPEED, FUNCTIONALITY, SUPPORT, AND AVAILABILITY.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
OTHER THAN IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER CUSTOMER'S OR THE RETOOL EXTENDED FAMILY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE CONTRACT OR THE USER TERMS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE LAST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE "PAYMENT TERMS" SECTION ABOVE. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER CUSTOMER OR ANY MEMBER OF THE RETOOL EXTENDED FAMILY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. The limitations under this "Limitation of Liability" section apply with respect to all legal theories, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this "Limitation of Liability" section allocate the risks under this Contract between the parties, and the parties have relied on these limitations in determining whether to enter into this Contract and the pricing for the Services.
OUR INDEMNIFICATION OF CUSTOMER
We will defend Customer from and against any and all third party claims, actions, suits, proceedings, and demands alleging that the components of the Services, as made available to Customer under the Contract, infringes or misappropriates a third party's intellectual property rights (a "Claim Against Customer"), and will indemnify Customer for all reasonable attorney's fees incurred and damages and other costs finally awarded against Customer in connection with or as a result of, and for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement we approve of in connection with, a Claim Against Customer; provided, however, that we will have no liability if a Claim Against Customer arises from (a) Customer Data, Custom Apps or Non-Retool Products; or (b) any modification, combination or development of the Services that is not performed by us, including in the use of any application programming interface (API). Customer must provide us with prompt written notice of any Claim Against Customer and allow us the right to assume the exclusive defense and control, and cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense and settlement of such matter. This section states our sole liability with respect to, and Customer's exclusive remedy against us and the Retool Extended Family for, any Claim Against Customer.
CUSTOMER'S INDEMNIFICATION OF US
Customer will defend Retool and the members of the Retool Extended Family (collectively, the "Retool Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all third party claims, actions, suits, proceedings, and demands alleging that (a) Customer Data, or the combination or use by Customer of Custom Apps or Non-Retool Products with the Services, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party, or (b) Customer's use of a Custom App violates applicable law (each, a "Claim Against Us"), and will indemnify the Retool Indemnified Parties for all reasonable attorney's fees incurred and damages and other costs finally awarded against a Retool Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of, and for amounts paid by a Retool Indemnified Party under a settlement Customer approves of in connection with, a Claim Against Us. We must provide Customer with prompt written notice of any Claim Against Us and allow Customer the right to assume the exclusive defense and control, and cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Customer's defense and settlement of such matter. This section states your sole liability with respect to, and the Retool Indemnified Parties' exclusive remedy against Customer for, any Claim Against Us.
LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATIONS
Notwithstanding anything contained in the two preceding sections, (a) an indemnified party will always be free to choose its own counsel if it pays for the cost of such counsel; and (b) no settlement may be entered into by an indemnifying party, without the express written consent of the indemnified parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), if (i) the third party asserting the claim is a government agency, (ii) the settlement arguably involves the making of admissions by the indemnified parties, (iii) the settlement does not include a full release of liability for the indemnified parties, or (iv) the settlement includes terms other than a full release of liability for the indemnified parties and the payment of money.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Confidential Information
Each party ("Disclosing Party") may disclose "Confidential Information" to the other party ("Receiving Party") in connection with the Contract, which is anything that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure including all Order Forms, as well as non-public business, product, technology and marketing information. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data and Custom Apps. If something is labeled "Confidential," that's a clear indicator to the Receiving Party that the material is confidential. Notwithstanding the above, Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
Protection and Use of Confidential Information
The Receiving Party will (a) take at least reasonable measures to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information, and limit access to those employees, affiliates and contractors who need to know such information in connection with the Contract ; and (b) not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Contract. Nothing above will prevent either party from sharing Confidential Information with financial and legal advisors; provided, however, that the advisors are bound to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those in the Contract.
Compelled Access or Disclosure
The Receiving Party may access or disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is required by law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled access or disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the access or disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, please review the Data Request Policy for details on how requests may be made for the disclosure of Customer Data and how we will handle those requests. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to access or disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing access to such Confidential Information as well as the reasonable cost for any support provided in connection with the Disclosing Party seeking a protective order or confidential treatment for the Confidential Information to be produced.
SURVIVAL
The sections titled "Feedback is Welcome," "Retool as a Platform," "Our Removal Rights," "A Condition of Use," "Payment Terms," "Credits," "The Retool Extended Family," "What's Yours is Yours ," "And What's Ours is Ours," "Effect of Termination," "Data Portability and Deletion," "Representations; Disclaimer of Warranties," "Limitation of Liability," "Our Indemnification of Customer," "Customer's Indemnification of Us," "Limitations on Indemnifications," "Confidentiality" and "Survival," as well as all of the provisions under the general heading "General Provisions," will survive any termination or expiration of the Contract.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Publicity
Customer grants us the right to use Customer's company name and logo as a reference for marketing or promotional purposes on our website and in other public or private communications with our existing or potential customers, subject to Customer's standard trademark usage guidelines as provided to us from time-to-time. We don't want to list customers who don't want to be listed, so Customer may send us an email to support@retool.com stating that it does not wish to be used as a reference.
Force Majeure
Neither us nor Customer will be liable by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond the reasonable control of a party, which may include denial-of-service attacks, a failure by a third party hosting provider or utility provider, strikes, shortages, riots, fires, acts of God, war, terrorism, and governmental action.
Relationship of the Parties; No Third Party Beneficiaries
The parties are independent contractors. The Contract does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. There are no third party beneficiaries to the Contract.
Email Notices
Except as otherwise set forth herein, all notices under the Contract will be by email, although we may instead choose to provide notice to Customer through the Services (e.g., a Retool Platform notification). Notices to Retool will be sent to support@retool.com, except for legal notices, such as notices of termination or an indemnifiable claim, which must be sent to legal@retool.com. Notices will be deemed to have been duly given (a) the day after it is sent, in the case of notices through email; and (b) the same day, in the case of notices through the Services.
Modifications
As our business evolves, we may change these Customer Terms and the other components of the Contract (except any Order Forms). If we make a material change to the Contract, we will provide Customer with reasonable notice prior to the change taking effect, either by emailing the email address associated with Customer's account or by messaging Customer through the Services. Customer can review the most current version of the Customer Terms at any time by visiting this page and by visiting the most current versions of the other pages that are referenced in the Contract. The materially revised Contract will become effective on the date set forth in our notice, and all other changes will become effective upon posting of the change. If Customer (or any Authorized Personnel) accesses or uses the Services after the effective date, that use will constitute Customer's acceptance of any revised terms and conditions.
Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under the Contract will constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver under the Contract will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party being deemed to have granted the waiver.
Severability
The Contract will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. If any provision of the Contract is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of the Contract will remain in effect.
Assignment
Except with respect to the Retool Extended Family, neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign the Contract in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without consent of the other party, to a corporate affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Customer will keep its billing and contact information current at all times by notifying Retool of any changes. Any purported assignment in violation of this section is void. A party's sole remedy for any purported assignment by the other party in breach of this section will be, at the non-assigning party's election, termination of the Contract upon written notice to the assigning party. In the event of such a termination by Customer, we will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Subject to the foregoing, the Contract will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Which Retool Entity is Customer Contracting With?
All references to 'Retool,' 'we,' or 'us' under the Contract, what law will apply in any dispute or lawsuit arising out of or in connection with the Contract, and which courts have jurisdiction over any such dispute or lawsuit, shall be as follows:
Domicile | Retool Contracting Entity | Governing Law | Venue |
---|---|---|---|
Anywhere | Retool, Inc. | California | San Francisco County, California |
The Contract, and any disputes arising out of or related hereto, will be governed exclusively by the applicable governing law above, without regard to conflicts of laws rules or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The courts located in the applicable venue above will have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to the Contract or its formation, interpretation or enforcement. Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Contract, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorney's fees.
Entire Agreement
The Contract, including these Customer Terms and all referenced pages and Order Forms, if applicable, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. Without limiting the foregoing, the Contract supersedes the terms of any online agreement electronically accepted by Customer, Authorized Personnel or any Users. However, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in these Customer Terms and any other documents or pages referenced in these Customer Terms, the following order of precedence will apply: (1) the terms of any Order Form (if any), (2) the portions of the Customer-Specific Supplement that apply to Customer (if any), (3) the Customer Terms and (4) finally any other documents or pages referenced in the Terms.
