1.10. Excessive Use Restrictions. We provide access to the Platform on a tiered-pricing basis, and some tiers can process more data with less impact on performance. We have no liability for the effect that your excessive data use may have on performance. If, in Zing’s sole discretion, we determine that your data use is excessive, abusive, or has a negative effect on the Platform in anyway, we may (1) require that you upgrade your Services in order to continue your activity levels if your data use exceeds the intended use of your existing Platform tier or if Zing’s operational costs to support your Platform usage exceeds the subscription price; (2) suspend or terminate your use of the Platform or Services, and/or (3) reduce the amount of data you are able to use.

We make regular updates to our platform, and sometimes those updates might affect the previous mode of operation of the platform.

2. Resale MAP Policy.

If you are authorized to resell access to a version of the Platform that is customized for or by You, You must comply with our Minimum Advertised Price Policy (“MAP Policy”) as described below:

a. Minimum Advertised Price. You cannot advertise access to the Platform for an effective price that is less than the Standard Prices offered by Zing (the “MAP Policy”). Standard Price for one Sub-Account is $97 USD for monthly subscriptions or $970 USD for an annual subscription. Zing reserves the right to change its Standard Prices at any time, for any reason. In the event of a change to Zing’s Standard Prices, you are responsible for ensuring your continued compliance with the MAP Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, Zing may run special pricing offers, promotions, or discounts from time-to-time (“Special Pricing”). Zing’s use of Special Pricing does not create an exception to the MAP Policy. Any changes to this MAP Policy will be communicated by a change to these Terms or by other forms of communication deemed appropriate by Zing in its sole discretion.

b. Advertised Price and Final Sale Price. The price at which you are advertising access to the Platform is determined after deduction of coupon discounts, rebates, value of product giveaways, gift card amounts, and other promotional offers, that have the effect of lowering an advertised price (“Advertised Price”). The MAP Policy only applies to the Advertised Price. The final price at which you resell access to the Platform (“Final Price”) is not subject to the MAP Policy.

c. Exceptions to MAP Policy.

a. Zing reserves the right to make exceptions to this MAP Policy at any time, for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion. Such exceptions must be made in writing, and may be revoked at any time, for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion.

b. The MAP Policy does not apply to Advertised Prices displayed at brick-and-mortar selling locations where the Advertised Price is not distributed or visible to customers outside said location, or where Final Prices are first disclosed to customers in “shopping carts” for web-based sales (so long as such Final Prices cannot be retrieved by search engines or otherwise displayed to customers).

c. This MAP Policy does not apply to advertising within any jurisdiction in which minimum advertised price policies are prohibited by law. It is a violation of this policy, however, to transmit an Advertised Price less than the MAP Policy from any such jurisdiction to customers in any jurisdiction in which the MAP Policy is permissible.

d. For sales into the European Union and United Kingdom, this MAP Policy does not prohibit you from offering customers discounts or communicating to customers that the Final Price could differ from the Advertised Price..

d. Resale Restrictions. When reselling access to the Platform, you agree that you are fully liable to your customers for their access to and use of the Platform, and you are solely responsible for the resolution of all customer disputes and inquiries. Zing may offer, but is not obligated, to assist in resolving customer disputes or inquiries in its sole discretion. If Zing determines, in its sole discretion, that you are failing to provide your customers with adequate resolutions to their disputes and inquiries, or if we receive complaints that you are not responding to legitimate customer disputes or inquiries, we may exercise our ability to terminate your Platform Account.

Do not pretend to be an employee or representative of Zing when reselling the platform.

e. You Are Not Zing. You are prohibited from representing yourself as a Zing employee or otherwise implying an association with Zing when reselling access to the Platform. You may not direct your customers to contact Zing for any reason, including but not limited to Platform support.

f. Suspension and Termination. We may suspend or terminate your ability to resell access to the Platform in our sole discretion, with or without notice, if you violate the MAP Policy or these Terms or for any other reason in our sole and absolute discretion.
