Any and all support will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Developer Site, and may require payment of fees as described therein. Guru may also make support available separately through other programs or offerings from time to time, and such support would be subject to the separate terms and conditions associated therewith.

5. Developer's obligations

  1. Developer shall develop each Developer Application in compliance with the then-current version of the APIs and Documentation and, accordingly, shall ensure that each Developer Application enables and maintains interoperability with the applicable DEGS and Guru Service.
  2. Developer shall be solely responsible for each Developer Application, including all support, development, and maintenance thereof and its interoperability (i.e., integration) with any Guru Service. Accordingly, Developer shall be solely responsible and liable (including to its customers and other parties) for, and indemnify, defend and hold Guru harmless from any claims relating to, any and all matters regarding the Developer Applications and associated integrations, including their development, operation, performance, availability, interoperability, deployment (under Section 6 below), support, and maintenance.
  3. Developer shall use security best practices in connection with the development of the Developer Application, and its integration with the Guru Service, and will comply at all times with all applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations and all security requirements of Guru made available on the Guru Site, Developer Site or otherwise. Developer will implement administrative, technical, physical and other appropriate security measures which protect and preserve the confidentiality and security of all data (including from unauthorized access, use or disclosure) which is processed, stored, transmitted or handled by Developer or any integration or Developer Application. Developer shall be solely responsible and liable for putting into place any terms or conditions (such as a Data Processing Agreement) with its customers to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations.
  4. Developer grants Guru a license and right to copy, display and otherwise use the registration information and materials provided by Developer in order to facilitate the purposes contemplated in this Agreement and to contact Developer regarding other potential business opportunities. In addition, Developer grants Guru a right and license (but not the obligation) to use Developer's name, the name of the Developer Application, and Developer's logo and applicable trademarks in promotional materials and otherwise in order to promote, market and/or otherwise identify Developer as a registered developer of the Developer Application which is designed to interoperate with Guru Applications. Further, Developer grants Guru a right and license to collect, process and use any data provided by Developer (including that which is provided via an integration to the Guru Service) to facilitate the objectives of this Agreement and as otherwise permitted under Guru's privacy policy. In this regard, Guru may de-identify and aggregate any such personal data to create analyses and for other purposes and shall own the de-identified and aggregated versions of such data. Guru's use of such data and information is in Guru's sole discretion and Guru makes no commitment with respect thereto.
  5. Developer agrees to provide Guru the name of each Developer Application which is developed utilizing the APIs, a DEGS or the Documentation (each of which shall be registered pursuant to Section 2 above). In its sole discretion Guru may list such information on Guru's corporate website and via other marketing vehicles.
  6. Developer shall not share or expose the password for the Developer Application (the "Password"). Passwords shall only be held in the Developer Application code. Similarly, the Developer Application must never expose the Developer Application API Token. Exposing the Developer Application Password, or the API Token will create a serious security risk. If Developer believes he/she has exposed a Password or API Token, the Developer may request a new Password or API Token within the management page. Guru shall in no way be responsible for lost or exposed data resulting from unapproved or inappropriate use of Developer's Password or API Token.
  7. In each instance in which Developer grants rights of use in its integration of a Developer Application with the Guru Service to a customer pursuant to Section 6 below, Developer shall maintain a written, legally enforceable contract with each such customer (for example, a click-wrap-accepted Terms of Service) which include industry standard provisions and limitations which are generally included in customer contracts by nationally-known, highly-reputable SaaS vendors. Developer shall also prominently display a privacy policy located where users download or access the Developer Application or integration or as otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations. Developer's privacy policy shall meet all applicable laws, regulations and standards and accurately and clearly describe the collection, use, maintenance and sharing of data. Developer shall immediately notify Guru of any breaches of Developer's customer contract or privacy policy that impact, or could reasonably impact, customers or users of the Guru Service.
  8. Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold Guru (and all of its officers, employees, agents and clients) harmless from and against any claims, legal actions, damages, losses, penalties or liabilities of any kind or nature ("Losses") which arise out of or relate to: (i) any responsibilities or liabilities assumed by Developer hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.2 above); (ii) any breach by Developer of its obligations, responsibilities, warranties, covenants or representations under this Agreement; or (iii) the deployment of the Developer Application (including its associated integration with the Guru Service) to its customers under Section 6 below, including the use, operation and performance thereof by or for such customers.


6. Distribution and deployment of developer applications

In accordance with the terms and conditions above, this Agreement enables Developer to gain access to the APIs, Documentation and DEGS(s) to develop Developer Applications, conduct non-production testing of the interoperability of such Developer Applications with the associated Guru Application(s), and conduct limited, non-production demonstrations of such Developer Applications to prospective customers. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Guru grants Developer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to deploy (i.e., grant rights to use) Developer Applications, along with integrations to the Guru Service which are developed hereunder, for use by Developer's customers from a Developer-controlled (and non-Guru) production environment at fees (or at no charge) to be determined by Developer. For clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, Developer may not deploy or advertise any Developer Application or its integration to the Guru Service from or within any marketplace, app store or similar platform (including, by way of example and not limitation, the Salesforce AppExchange, the Microsoft AppSource or similar platform/store created by Developer) without first seeking and obtaining Guru's prior written consent in each instance (which consent may be provided, withheld or conditioned in the sole discretion of Guru). Notwithstanding the above, Developer is not authorized under this Agreement to, and warrants that it shall not use the DEGS or Documentation in any manner other than for: (a) its internal, non-production development and testing of integration of Developer Applications with the Guru Service; and; (b) the non-production demonstration of Developer Applications to prospective customers for the limited time period authorized under Section 3 above. For clarity, in no event may Developer use the DEGS for any production (i.e., "live") use for itself or any customer or other party. Developer acknowledges that its expenditure of time and money in developing integrations to Developer Applications is at its own risk and Guru makes no guarantees with regard to the availability of Guru Applications.

7. Term and termination

  1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date it is entered into by Developer and shall remain in effect unless terminated pursuant to the terms below (the "Term").
  2. Termination for Convenience. Developer may terminate this Agreement by discontinuing use of the APIs, Documentation and DEGS and notifying Guru in writing that it has done so. Guru may terminate this Agreement for any or no reason (i.e., for convenience) by providing written notice to Developer (unless notice is not required pursuant to a term or condition of this Agreement).
  3. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice in the event that the other party breaches a provision hereof and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof; provided, however, that Guru may terminate this Agreement immediately (with or without notice) if Guru believes in its sole discretion that such breach: (i) is a threat to the effective or efficient operation or security of the Guru Service; (ii) poses a data security risk; (iii) poses a risk of civil or criminal liability; (iv) threatens, or gives rise to, a violation of law. Guru may also terminate this Agreement immediately (with or without notice) if: (a) Developer markets or sells any product which is substantially similar, in whole or material part, to any Guru Application; or (b) Developer engages in any activities which would give rise to suspension or termination under Section 7.5.
  4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all rights and licenses granted to Developer pursuant to this Agreement shall cease (with Developer neither accessing nor using any Guru Property thereafter) and Developer shall promptly return (or, if so elected by Guru , destroy) any and all of Guru's Confidential Information, and other proprietary information or materials made available by or received from Guru, in its possession (including all copies thereof, whether electronic, hard-copy or otherwise). Upon request, Developer shall certify compliance herewith.
  5. Suspension. Developer agrees that, if Guru determines, in its sole discretion, that Developer has: (a) breached any term, condition or restriction of this Agreement, or is in breach of its privacy policy or customer contract with respect to a mutual client; (b) developed any Developer Application or other software which poses any security or performance risk to any system, network, hardware, software, or technology of Guru or its suppliers or customers; (c) taken any action, or engaged in any conduct, which presents a risk of liability to, or violation of law by, Guru; or (d) through its activities or conduct in connection with its use of the Guru APIs or other Guru Property, gives rise to actual or potential harm or other negative impact on Guru's business, operations or technology, then, in any such event, without limiting Guru's right to terminate this Agreement, Guru may suspend and/or terminate Developer's access and use of the DEGS, API and/or Documentation, any other materials or technology made available by Guru, and any other rights or privileges provided under this Agreement.

    Additionally, in any event which would give rise to a right of suspension or termination by Guru under this Section 7, or in the event otherwise requested by Guru for any similarly legitimate reason, Guru may require Developer to disable the interoperability of the applicable Developer Applications with the applicable Guru Applications in accordance with instructions provided by Guru or, alternatively, Guru may so disable such interoperability. In any such case, Guru shall have the unfettered right, in its sole discretion, to contact and communicate with the impacted mutual client to inform it that Guru has required the Developer to disable such interoperability and to provide associated recommendations, advice, services and other actions to or for the client as Guru sees fit.

    In the event that Guru determines that a violation of this Agreement or a dispute/issue with a mutual client can be remedied by Developer's modification to its Developer Application and/or its associated integration elements, then Guru (without obligation) may elect to afford Developer an opportunity to promptly remedy the violation or issue and, if so, Developer shall diligently work to promptly remedy the problem. At any time, however, Guru may step in and take the actions contemplated herein.
  6. Survival. Notwithstanding the above: (a) Sections 1 (Definitions), Section 5 (Developer's Obligations), 7 (Termination), 8 (Confidential Information), 9 (Intellectual Property Ownership), 11 (Indemnification), 12 (Limitation of Liability), and 13 (General Provisions) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

  2. Use of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided below, the party receiving Confidential Information (the "Recipient"): (i) shall hold all Confidential Information of the disclosing party (the "Discloser") in confidence and will use such information only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement; and (ii) shall not disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser to any third party (other than employees, officers or directors of the party) except as expressly authorized herein or with the express written permission of the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the above, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and Guru's instructions provided in connection herewith, a party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information to a third party who has a need to know, and who, prior to obtaining access to the Confidential Information, has executed a non-disclosure and limited use agreement which is at least as protective of the Disclosing Party as the data security, limited use and confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. The Recipient shall protect the Confidential Information of Discloser at least in the manner and degree the Recipient uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable standard of care.
  3. Scope. The foregoing obligations shall not apply to: (i) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Recipient; (ii) information that is known by Recipient prior to the time of disclosure hereunder; (iii) information that is lawfully obtained from a third party who has the right to make such disclosure without any duty of confidentiality; or (iv) any disclosure required by applicable law, provided that Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to give advance notice to, and cooperate with, the Discloser in connection with any efforts to prevent such disclosure.
