2. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION BY FIVE9

a. Termination for Breach. Five9 may terminate Customer’s access to the Services upon thirty (30) days’ written notice in the event of a material breach of these Required Terms by Customer, provided that such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such thirty (30) days.

b. Termination for Bankruptcy. Additionally, either party may terminate these Required Terms if the other party becomes insolvent, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated bankrupt, has a receiver appointed for the operation of its business, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, abandons its business or makes a material liquidation of its assets.

c. Suspension or Termination by Five9. Five9 may immediately suspend Customer’s access to the Services if Five9 has a good faith belief that Customer is using the Services as follows: (i) in violation of applicable laws and/or government regulations; or (ii) in a manner that is compromising the security or operability of the Services.  If it is confirmed that Customer is using the Services as described in (i) above, Five9, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate the Services without providing Customer an opportunity to cure and with respect to (ii), Five9 will notify Customer in writing and provide a reasonable time to cure prior to termination.  Resumption of Customer’s account following suspension or termination by Five9 is subject to the sole discretion of Five9.

a. Customer shall hold Five9’s Confidential Information (defined below) in strict confidence while Customer has access to the Services. Customer shall not (i) disclose Five9’s Confidential Information to any third party (excluding affiliates and/or subcontractors who have a need to know and are bound by terms of confidentiality no less restrictive than those hereunder) unless, and only to the minimum extent required by law or to satisfy governmental regulatory requirements (in which case Customer shall notify Five9 in writing, if legally permitted, of its intent to make such disclosure so that Five9 may seek protective treatment); or (ii) use Five9’s Confidential Information for any purpose beyond the scope of these Required Terms other than with the express prior written consent of Five9.

c. Certain aspects of the AI Services may utilize third party service providers, and Customer authorizes and consents to Five9 sharing Customer Data with such service providers for the purposes described in Section 6.a.(i) above.  For clarity, such third-party service providers shall not be permitted to use Customer Data to develop, train, optimize, and improve their own services.

d. For AI Services involving Google as a sub-processor, Five9 may need to identify Customer to Google upon Google’s request. When Google makes such a request, Customer acknowledges that Five9 must (i) provide Customer’s name to Google, and (ii) receive Google’s written consent for Customer to access the AI Services. In the event that such consent is not received, Five9 will notify Customer, and the corresponding AI Services will automatically terminate, without penalty.

e.

Five9 makes no warranty or guarantee with regards to any Non-Five9 Services, any interoperation between the Services and any Non-Five9 Services, or the continued availability of such features, and may cease providing such features for any reason without incurring fault or liability, for example and without limitation, if the provider of the Non-Five9 Services ceases to make the Non-Five9 Services available for interoperation with the Services. Any cessation of such features will not entitle Customer to any refund of fees for Services or other compensation.

12. EMERGENCY SERVICES TERMS

a. Emergency Services Not Provided for Non-United States and Non-Canada Domains. Customer fully understands and acknowledges that the Services do not support access to emergency organizations for non-United States and non-Canada domains, and Five9 makes no representation or warranty that the Services are capable of the same.

b. Emergency Services for United States and Canada Domains.

    i. Customer e911 Responsibilities and Limitations.  Customer understands that to the extent any e911 services are offered as part of the Services for United States domains (“e911 Services”), such e911 services will not function or will not function properly: (A) if an end-user attempts a 9-1-1 call from a location different from the end-user’s then-current address provided to Five9’s e911 service provider by Customer; (B) during any disruption of power at Customer’s location; (C) during any disruption of internet connectivity to Customer’s location; (D) during any period in which Five9, Five9’s e911 provider, or Customer’s local exchange carrier has cancelled or suspended delivery of services to Customer for any reason (including suspension or cancellation for failure to pay or Customer’s default); (E) during any period of e911 outage or failure due to events beyond Five9’s or its service provider’s reasonable control; (F) if incorrect or invalid end-user address information is provided or is not updated accurately; or (G) if Customer equipment fails to function, is not properly configured, or is defective.

     ii. Public Safety Answering Point. Five9’s e911 service provider uses commercially reasonable efforts to deliver every 9-1-1 call with the enhanced location data provided by Customer to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”). There are limitations placed upon Five9’s e911 service provider by the PSAPs. Each of the approximately 6,000 PSAPs must individually agree to accept a 9-1-1 call with a VoIP type service. Customer acknowledges that PSAPs fall into three categories: (A) those that accept VoIP 9-1-1 calls with location data on 9-1-1 equipment; (B) those that accept VoIP 9-1-1 calls without location data on administrative lines; and (C) those that do not accept VoIP 9-1-1 calls. In the case of (C), VoIP 9-1-1 calls are routed to the next closest PSAP that accepts VoIP 9-1-1 calls.

      iii. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, CUSTOMER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO FIVE9’S SERVICES OR ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDED HEREUNDER TO CONTACT A PSAP OR OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES PERSONNEL, AND FIVE9 WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS (WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL) THAT MAY ARISE FROM THE USE, MISUSE, OR OPERATION OF THE E911 SERVICES BY CUSTOMER. FURTHER, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FIVE9 WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM ANY EFFORTS UNDERTAKEN BY FIVE9, ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIER, OR THE EMERGENCY RELAY CENTER, TO CORRECT ANY FAILED CUSTOMER e911 CALLS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE THAT ARE A RESULT OF INVALID OR INCOMPLETE END-USER LOCATION DATA; ARE A RESULT OF INTERRUPTIONS IN VOICE CONNECTIVITY; OR WHICH CANNOT BE RE-ROUTED TO THE APPROPRIATE PSAP DUE TO LACK OF CORRECT OR VALID LOCATION INFORMATION.
 

13. BETA AND EVALUATION SERVICES

a. If Five9 grants rights to use the Services on a trial, evaluation, beta, or other similar basis (“Evaluation Services”), Customer may only use the Evaluation Services on a temporary basis for the period specified by Five9 in writing.

b. Five9, in its discretion, may stop providing the Evaluation Services at any time, at which point Customer will no longer have access to any related data, information, and files, and must immediately cease using the Evaluation Services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Required Terms, the Evaluation Services may contain bugs, errors, or other issues, and Five9 provides Evaluation Services “AS IS” without any indemnity or warranty, express or implied. Five9 has no liability relating to Customer’s use of the Evaluation Services, which is at Customer’s sole risk and liability. Unless agreed in writing by Five9, Customer will not put Evaluation Services into production use.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

a. Force Majeure. Five9 shall not be held liable or responsible or be deemed to have breached these Required Terms for failure or delay of performance hereunder when caused by or resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of Five9; provided, however, Five9 has taken reasonable commercial efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance, and when they are removed continue performance hereunder.

b. Sub-processors. Five9 may utilize sub-processors (e.g., third party telecommunications service providers) in providing the Services.

d. General. No failure or delay in exercising or enforcing any right or remedy by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy, or future exercise thereof. If any provision of these Required Terms is determined to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, it is only deemed omitted to that extent, and the rest of the Required Terms remain enforceable. In the event of a dispute arising out of these Required Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees. These Required Terms do not grant any right or cause of action to any third party.

e. Verification Rights.  While Customer has access to the Services and for a period of twelve (12) months after these Required Terms expire or terminate, Customer will take reasonable steps to maintain complete and accurate records of Customer’s use of the Services sufficient to verify compliance with these Required Terms (“Verification Records”).
