CORPORATE CUSTOMER TERMS OF SERVICE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Welcome to the SeaTalk platform (the "Platform"), a communication platform provided by SeaTalk Private Limited and its affiliates and subsidiaries (individually and collectively, "SeaTalk", "we", "us" or "our"). The "Services" we provide or make available include the Platform and its related websites, services, products, sub-applications within the Platform, standalone applications associated with the Platform, software program and content. Any new features added to or augmenting the Services are also subject to these Corporate Customer Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”). These Terms of Service govern your use of the Services provided by SeaTalk.
1.2 These Terms of Service and any Order Forms (defined below) together form an agreement between you (“you” or “Corporate Customer”) and us, and set forth the terms and conditions by which Corporate Customer and its Authorised Users may access and use our Services, including as a downloadable program or app available via our website ("SeaTalk Site"), or via an app store on an Authorised User's device (e.g., Apple's App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android).
1.3 If you are an Authorised User (defined below), the Individual User Terms of Service govern your access and use of the Services, while to the extent applicable, these Terms of Service shall govern the subscription of the Services by Corporate Customers. A workspace is made up of channels, where team members can communicate and work together, i.e., a digital space where a group of users may access the Services (each, a "Workspace").
2. PERSONAL USERS AND AUTHORISED USERS
2.1 Subject to the terms applicable to the subscription ordered by Corporate Customer pursuant to Section 3, Corporate Customer may invite and authorize individuals that have a registered SeaTalk account to access a dedicated Workspace on the Services set up by Corporate Customer. Each such authorised individual will be deemed an "Authorised User."
2.2 In addition, an individual may access and use the Services for personal purposes by registering a personal account,or Corporate Customer may invite individuals to access other parts of the Services without creating an account.

For example, Corporate Customer may enable or disable an Authorised User's access to the Workspace, review, edit and remove Corporate Customer Data, enable or disable third party integrations, manage the Authorised Users' permissions, retention and export settings, among other choices. Corporate Customer may also exclusively provide us with instructions on what to do with Corporate Customer Data.

We have no liability with respect to the content of any Corporate Customer Data or the way Customer or its Authorised Users choose to use the Services to store or process any Corporate Customer Data.
2.5 In order to access Customer's Workspace, each Authorised User must create an account with the Platform. Customer shall ensure that its Authorised Users keep their account login credentials confidential and not disclose it to any third party.
