- Reasonable Use and Right to Review. Zoom Voice offers unlimited and metered Phone Calling Plans. These plans are subject to this Zoom Voice Communications, Inc. Reasonable Use Policy. Zoom Phone Calling Plans are for normal and reasonable business use; unreasonable use is prohibited. Use of Zoom Phone may qualify as unreasonable if Customer (a) engages in business activities that involve continual, uninterrupted, or consistently excessive use of Zoom Phone Services, (b) makes any misrepresentations to Zoom Voice that materially affect volume or type of use of Zoom Phone Services, (c) engages in fraudulent or illegal use of Zoom Phone Services, including any activity that violates telemarketing laws or regulations, or (d) uses Zoom Phone Services in any manner that harms Zoom Voice’s network or facilities or interferes with the use of the service by other Customers. Use that is inconsistent with the types and levels of usage by typical business customers on the same plan may be used as an indicator of abnormal or unreasonable use, including but not limited to abnormal call lengths; abnormal call frequency; abnormal call duration; abnormal calling patterns that indicate an attempt to evade enforcement of this Zoom Voice Communications, Inc. Reasonable Use Policy. Zoom reserves the right to review Customer use to determine if it is consistent with this Zoom Voice Communications, Inc. Reasonable Use Policy. In the event Zoom Voice determines that You may be engaging in unreasonable use, Zoom Voice will determine the appropriate remedy and will take action to remedy any unreasonable use, including, at its sole discretion, discussing the use with You, moving You to an appropriate Zoom Phone Calling Plan, terminating certain Hosts, and/or otherwise modifying, suspending or terminating Your Zoom Phone services.

- ensuring that all assigned phone numbers are registered for emergency calling purposes through the E911 link within Customer’s account, and that all registration information remains accurate and up to date; and
- distributing warning stickers or other appropriate labels warning End Users that emergency service may be limited or not available and instructing Phone Hosts to place such stickers on or near the Devices and other equipment used in conjunction with Zoom Phone Services.

Customer should consult with Zoom Voice prior to deploying any other Devices and equipment.

Zoom web services are secure through HTTPS. In an encrypted meeting, Zoom meeting keys are randomly generated per meeting session. Passwords are hashed/salted using SHA256.
- Chat/Notes/Closed Captioning in Meeting. When encryption is enabled, Chat/Notes/Closed Captioning are transferred with command channel, not data channel; the data travels within SSL connection, and there is no extra AES 256-bit encrypt/decrypt for them.
- FedRAMP Security Features. Zoom for Government is authorized as a FedRAMP Moderate ATO. TLS 1.2 or greater is required. Noted security features include, without limitation, secure socket layer (SSL) encryption, AES 256-bit encryption, role-based user security, watermark screenshots, firewall compatibility, password-protected meeting option. Zoom for Government also supports single sign-on (SSO) with SAML, OAuth, or ADFS.
- Zoom Marketplace. The Zoom Marketplace, available at https://marketplace.zoom.us, is a site hosted by Zoom to provide access to applications (the “Apps”) created by third party developers (“Publishers”) that are interoperable with Zoom Services, and make them available from both mobile and desktop client apps. Access to and use of the Zoom Marketplace and Zoom for Developers (available at https://developer.zoom.us) sites are governed by separate terms and conditions available at https://zoom.us/service. Besides testing for compatibility with Zoom, Zoom does not perform any other testing and does not warrant or support the Apps. Publishers are solely responsible for all aspects of the Apps they publish, including content, functionality, availability and support. Publishers are required to provide their own terms of service, privacy policy and support information (“Publisher Terms”). Customers who access or download Apps must enter into Publisher Terms directly with the Publisher. Zoom is not responsible for the Apps, their content, functionality, availability, or support. Apps are hosted AS IS and use of the Apps is at Customer’s own risk, subject to the Publisher Terms. Apps may become unavailable or be removed by a Publisher at any time and any data stored in them may be lost or become inaccessible. Zoom is not responsible for Customer Data transferred to a Publisher, or for any transmission, collection, disclosure, security, modification, use or deletion of Customer Data by or through an App. Publishers may use Customer Data as permitted in the Publisher Terms. Use of the Apps may require Customer Data to be transferred to the Publisher and by accessing and using the App, Customer consents to the transfer of Customer Data by Zoom as required by the Publisher. Zoom does not support the Apps. Customer should contact the Publisher for support or questions.

If the person using or creating such Non-Managed Domain Account does not change the domain within the period specified, that person will be deemed to have consented to the Non-Managed Domain Account being added to the Managed Domain Customer and to have further consented for all data associated with the Non-Managed Domain Account to be shared with the Managed Domain Customer.

The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim; however, a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity .
- Arbitration Fees. If You are unable to afford the arbitration costs, Zoom will advance those costs to You, subject to the arbitrator’s determination if costs should be reimbursed to Zoom if Zoom prevails. For disputes involving more than $75,000, the AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
- Conflict with AAA Rules. This Agreement governs if there is a conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.
- Requirement to File Within One Year. Notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, a claim or dispute under this Agreement must be filed in Small Claims Court or noticed for arbitration within one year of when it could first be filed, or such claim will be permanently barred.
- Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts will not be arbitrated but will be resolved in court, with the balance resolved through arbitration. If any provision of this Exhibit B is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed; however, the remaining provisions shall still apply and shall be interpreted to as nearly as possible achieve the original intent of this Exhibit, inclusive of the severed provision.
