The Additional Terms do not replace standard Terms of Service (including our Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam Policy) but supplement them, and the standard Terms of Service continue to apply once you have enabled an add-on or third-party service integration. Except as otherwise defined in this document, all capitalized terms used in the Additional Terms have the meaning attributed to them in the Terms of Service.

You are liable for being familiar with and adhering to all applicable provisions of law, rules and regulations – in particular but not limited to data protection, privacy, electronic communication regulations, as well as those relating to taxes – that apply your use of a specific add-on or a third-party service. You agree to observe any amendments to these laws and regulations, and comply with their currently binding version. You are solely liable for determining if our Service, add-on, as well as the third-party service, are suitable for you in view of such laws and regulations. You represent and warrant that you have provided information, obtained and hold (or will obtain and hold) legally required consents and process personal data in accordance with all applicable laws on personal data protection.
