Instead, each item of Third Party Material is licensed under the terms of the license that accompanies such Third Party Material. Nothing in this document limits Customer’s rights under, or grants Customer rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable license for the Third Party Material, including any rights to copy, modify, or distribute Third Party Material under the applicable license.

Customer may elect to use such available APIs to connect to its designated account and information processed by a Third Party Service supported by Company. If Company does not support an API to connect to a Third Party Service that Customer desires, Customer should notify Company of such circumstances, and the parties will reasonably collaborate to address such situation as mutually agreed, which may include supplemental or technical development services as described in Section 1.7 below. With respect to Third Party Services selected or designed by Customer, Customer is responsible for complying with such third party’s terms of use and paying any applicable third party fees required by that Third Party Service. Third Party Services supported by the Services (including an applicable API) are subject to change, including without limitation for factors outside of Company’s control. Customer will reasonably cooperate with Company, as requested, to facilitate integration between the Services and Third Party Services, and acknowledges that the Services may not fully function if the Third Party Service is not available or accessible. Company does not endorse or control, and hereby disclaims all liability or responsibility for, any Third Party Service. Customer may direct the Services (via an API or otherwise) to retrieve Customer Data (as defined below) processed or maintained by a Third Party Service with which Customer has a customer or user relationship, and hereby authorizes Company to do so in connection with the provision of the Services.

For clarity, Customer Data will at all times be subject to the Customer Data Isolation requirement.
