Archived Customer Terms of Service (Master Terms)

PLEASE READ THESE CUSTOMER TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY.

Our Customer Terms of Service is a contract that governs our customers' use of the HubSpot services. It consists of the following documents:

Master Terms: These contain the core legal and commercial terms that apply to your subscription

Product Specific Terms: These include any additional terms that apply to your use of each of our product offerings, our consulting and other services and third party services.

Jurisdiction Specific Terms: Depending on your location, some of these jurisdiction specific terms will apply to you. They’ll also explain which HubSpot entity you’re contracting with and which laws will govern our relationship.

Data Processing Agreement (DPA): This explains how we process your data and includes the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP): This is the definitive rulebook setting out what you can and can’t do while using our products and services.

Product Privacy Policy: This policy describes how we collect, receive, use, store, share, transfer, and process your Personal Data in connection with your use of the Subscription Service. It also describes your choices regarding use, as well as your rights of access to and correction of your Personal Data.

Your Order Form is the HubSpot-approved form created following your purchase of one of our products or services through our online payment process or via in-app purchase. It contains all of the details about your purchase, including your subscription term, products purchased and your fees. You’ll find your Order Form(s) in the Documents section of your HubSpot portal.

We’ve aimed to keep these documents as readable as possible, but in some cases for legal reasons, some of the language is necessarily “legalese”. By using the Subscription Service or receiving the Consulting Services, you are agreeing to these terms. 

We update these terms from time to time. If you have an active HubSpot subscription, we will let you know when we update the terms via in-app notification or by email (if you subscribe to receive email updates). You can find archived versions of the Master Terms, Product Specific Terms, Jurisdiction Specific Terms and DPA here.

We may update or change these terms in the same way as we can update or change our Agreement, as we describe in the ‘Amendment; No Waiver’ section of the Master Terms. 

1.  HubSpot Indemnification

We will indemnify, defend and hold you harmless, at our expense, against any Action brought against you (and your officers, directors, employees, agents, service providers, licensors, and affiliates) by a third party not affiliated with you to the extent that such Action is based upon or arises out of (1) an allegation that the Subscription Service infringes a valid patent in a member state of the Patent Cooperation Treaty, registered trademark, or registered copyright (“IP Indemnification”), or (2) our breach of our confidentiality obligations or our use of Customer Data in violation of this Agreement (“Confidentiality and Data Misuse Indemnification”). 

You will: notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of you becoming aware of any such claim; give us sole control of the defense or settlement of such a claim; and provide us (at our expense) with any and all information and assistance reasonably requested by us to handle the defense or settlement of the claim. We will not accept any settlement that (i) imposes an obligation on you; (ii) requires you to make an admission; or (iii) imposes liability not covered by these indemnifications or places restrictions on you without your prior written consent.   

We will not have any obligation or liability under this section if the alleged claim is caused by or based on: (i) any combination of the Subscription Service with any hardware, software, equipment, or data not provided by us, (ii) modification of the Subscription Service by anyone other than us, or modification of the Subscription Service by us in accordance with specifications or instructions that you provided, (iii) use of the Subscription Service in violation of or outside the scope of this Agreement, (iv) an allegation that the Subscription Service consists of a function, system or method traditionally utilized in marketing, sales or services software that is not commercially unique to the Subscription Service, and the commercially unique aspects of the Subscription Service are not identified in the allegation giving rise to the claim, or (v) user interface or related user design elements not provided by us. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of such a claim, or if we believe that such a claim is likely, we may, at our sole option and expense: (a) modify the Subscription Service or provide you with substitute Subscription Service that is non-infringing; or (b) obtain a license or permission for you to continue to use the Subscription Service, at no additional cost to you; or (c) if neither (a) nor (b) is, in our judgment, commercially practicable, terminate your access to the Subscription Service (or to a portion of the Subscription Service as necessary to resolve the claimed infringement) and refund all or a proportionate amount of any fees that you have previously paid covering use of the Subscription Service after the effective date of such termination. THIS SECTION STATES OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM PROVIDED FOR UNDER THIS SECTION.
