End User Subscription Agreement

Last Updated: May 1, 2023

Introduction

This End User Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) governs the purchase, access, and use of Products by the Customer listed on an Order (hereinafter “Customer” or “You” or “Your”). In order to use or receive the benefits of any Product, You must purchase the applicable Product through an Order. If Zscaler introduces new Products in the future, such Products will be governed by this Agreement, depending on their Product category (i.e. SaaS, Software, Hardware, etc.).

If You are receiving access to or use of Products for proof of concept, beta testing, interactive demo, or other similar evaluative purposes (the “Evaluation Products”), then You may only use the Evaluation Products for Your own internal evaluation purposes for a period of up to thirty (30) days (or a pre-set shorter period for interactive demos) from the date of first access to the Evaluation Products. You and Zscaler may, upon mutual written agreement, extend the Evaluation Period. At the end of the Evaluation Period, You must delete all Software and other components (including Documentation) related to the Evaluation Products, or You may be invoiced for the then-current list price for the Evaluation Products.  If you are evaluating SaaS, You understand that Zscaler may disable access to the SaaS automatically at the end of the Evaluation Period, without notice to You. At the end of the Evaluation Period, Customer Data will be deleted pursuant to Zscaler’s six (6) month retention periods, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. If You are participating in an interactive demo, You agree and understand that You will receive one instance of the SaaS which is shared with other prospective Zscaler customers and users. For any Evaluation Products, only Sections 4, 5.7, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, and the applicable Definitions in Section 1 of this Agreement shall apply.

IF YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THIS PAGE DURING THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING, DOWNLOADING, ACCESSING, OR DEPLOYING A PRODUCT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, DOWNLOAD, ACCESS, DEPLOYMENT, OR USE OF THE PRODUCT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE TO THE FOREGOING, DISCONTINUE THE INSTALLATION, DOWNLOAD, ACCESS, DEPLOYMENT, OR USE. IF YOU PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION, DOWNLOAD, ACCESS, DEPLOYMENT, OR USE, YOU ARE REPRESENTING AND WARRANTING THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO BIND THE CUSTOMER.

This Agreement may be periodically updated and the current version will be posted at www.zscaler.com/legal. Your continued use of the Products after a revised Agreement has been posted constitutes your acceptance of its terms.
