Single-commit orphan branch: full zed-industries/zed @ 8c74db0 source tree
with a 3-file patch applied (no upstream history).

Patch (crates/gpui_linux/src/linux/wayland/):
  - serial.rs: add SerialKind::KeyboardEnter
  - client.rs: store wl_keyboard.enter serial; add latest_serial_of()
  - window.rs: activate() uses keyboard-enter serial (Mutter focus gate)

Mutter honors window activation only when the token carries the keyboard-
focus serial from wl_keyboard.enter; GPUI used a stale mouse-press serial.
See docs/tray-window-focus-wayland.md in logiguard.

## Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Zed Industries, Inc. ("**Zed**," "**we**," "**our**," or "**us**") collects, uses, and shares your personal data when you use our websites (including [https://zed.dev](https://zed.dev)), our downloadable software ("**Software**"), our subscription service ("**Service**"), or otherwise interact with us.
As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual and includes any information that constitutes "personally identifiable information," “personal data,” or "personal information" under applicable privacy or data protection laws or regulations.
You acknowledge the collection, use, disclosure, procedures, and other processing described in this Privacy Policy. Beyond the Privacy Policy, your use of our products and services is also subject to our Terms of Service included alongside. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent we process personal data in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of our Zed Business customers. Such processing is governed by our Data Processing Agreement, available upon request. For information about the sub-processors we engage in that capacity, see [https://zed.dev/subprocessors](/subprocessors).
## Personal Data We Collect
We may collect personal data from or about you and your devices from the sources and in the manner described below. If you do not provide requested data, some features may not work - either because we need that data to deliver them, or because we're legally required to collect it.
For authorized users on Zed Business plans, certain data described in this section may be processed by Zed as a data processor on behalf of the Zed Business customer. In those cases, the Zed Business customer determines the purposes and lawful basis for that processing, as set forth in our Data Processing Agreement.
### Personal Data You Provide to Us
- **Contact Information** - We may collect your personal data when you inquire about Zed, our products and services, or when you otherwise interact with us, including when you sign up for, attend, or take part in our demos, events, or webinars. This data may include your full name, work email, company name, company size, and any other data you share with us.
- **Communications** - When you contact us directly, we may receive personal data about you, such as your name, email address, message contents and attachments, and - if you join a live collaboration session - we process, but do not store, your audio and shared screen. When you sign up for news and updates, we will collect your email address and any other data you share. When you communicate with us online, our third-party vendors may receive and store these communications on our behalf. Our emails may include tracking pixels to track information about how you interact with our emails, such as whether you open them and whether you access any included links, your approximate Location Information (described below) based on your IP address, and Device Information (described below), to improve our website, products, and services.
- **Account Information** - When you create an Account with Zed, we collect the data you provide to create, update, or manage your Service account. Examples include: your name, username, and email address.
- **Careers** - If you apply for a job with us, you may submit your contact information and your resume online. We will collect any information you choose to provide on your resume, such as your contact information, education, and employment experience.
- **Payment Information** - If you make a payment, your payment details, such as credit card, address, phone number, or other financial information, are collected by our third-party payment processor on our behalf. Zed does not collect, process, or store your payment information directly.
- **Regarding Third-Party Services** - If you use or integrate third-party tools or link third-party services with the Software or Service, we may receive personal data about you, such as your [GitHub username and other related information](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/using-oauth-apps/connecting-with-third-party-applications) that permits us to authenticate your user identity and keep your account secure. You can learn more about Zed Third Parties here: [https://zed.dev/](https://zed.dev/acceptable-use-policies)[acceptable-use-policies](/acceptable-use-policies)
### Personal Data We Collect When You Use Our Websites, Software, or Service
- **Website, Software, and Service Telemetry** - We automatically collect telemetry - technical logs, metrics, and usage data - to improve and support Zed’s websites, Software, and Service. You may opt out of local telemetry collection in the Software settings. However, when you sign into or use the websites or Service (including via the Software) we collect telemetry on our servers related to use of the websites and Service.
Learn more about telemetry and your choices and how to opt out of Software telemetry collection at [https://zed.dev/docs/telemetry](/telemetry)
- **Device and Location Information** - When you use the website, Software, or Service we may collect information about your device and software, including IP address (and inferred approximate location), device type, device identifiers, browser (type, version, user-agent, and language), and operating system or mobile device type. We do so to support improving and securing the Software and Service. Zed does not collect precise location information.
- **Usage Information** - We automatically collect information about how you use our website and Service, like the pages or other content you view and the dates and times of your visits. We do so to support improving and securing the websites, Software, and Service.
- **Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies** - We and our third-party partners may collect information using cookies, beacons, and similar technologies (collectively “**Cookies**”) to provide functionality and to recognize you across visits. See our [Cookie Policy](/cookie-policy), which includes information on how to control or opt out of these Cookies.
## How We Use the Personal Data We Collect
We use the personal data we collect:
- To deliver and improve our products: Providing the Software and Service functionality you request, debugging issues, and developing new features based on usage patterns;
- To communicate with you: Responding to support requests, sending service announcements, and (with your consent) marketing communications;
- To secure our services: Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and security threats;
- To meet legal obligations: Complying with tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements;
- To process payments: Completing transactions through our payment processor; and
- To understand aggregate usage: Generating anonymized statistics to guide product decisions.
We do not use your personal data for purposes materially different from those described above without providing you notice and, where required by law, obtaining your consent.
## Legal Bases for Processing European Personal Data
If you are located in the European Economic Area (“**EEA**”) or the United Kingdom (“**UK**”), we only process your personal data when we have a valid “legal basis,” including as set forth below.
- **Consent** - We may process your personal data where you have consented to certain processing of your personal data. For example, we may process your personal data to send you marketing communications or to use Cookies where you have consented to such use.
- **Contractual Necessity** - We may process your personal data where required to provide you with our products and services. For example, we may need to process your personal data to respond to your inquiries or requests.
- **Compliance with a Legal Obligation** - We may process your personal data where we have a legal obligation to do so. For example, we may process your personal data to comply with tax, labor and accounting obligations.
- **Legitimate Interests** - We may process your personal data where we or a third party have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data. Specifically, we have a legitimate interest in using your personal data for product development and internal analytics purposes, and otherwise to improve the safety, security, and performance of our products and services. We only rely on our or a third party’s legitimate interests to process your personal data when these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
## How We Disclose the Personal Data We Collect
The disclosures described below relate to Zed’s processing as a data controller. When we process data on behalf of Zed Business customers as a data processor, some of the third-parties described below may act as sub-processors under our Data Processing Agreement.
- **Zed does not sell your personal data to third-parties**.  We also do not share your data with third-parties for the purposes of cross-context advertising.
- **Partners and Affiliates** - We may share information we receive to our current or future affiliates (companies under common ownership with Zed) for any of the lawful business purposes described in this Privacy Policy above.
- **Vendors and Service Providers** - We may disclose information we receive to vendors and service providers retained in connection with operating, maintaining, or monitoring our websites, products, and services for any of the lawful business purposes described in this Privacy Policy above.
- **AI Service Providers** - We may disclose information we receive to vendors that provide artificial intelligence services in connection with our websites, software, or services for legitimate business purposes only, including website performance monitoring and sales and marketing of our products and services. Zed does not utilize third-party services which use this information for AI training purposes.
- **Web Analytics** - We use analytics services such as Amplitude to collect and process certain analytics data related to your use of our websites. These services utilize first-party cookies to collect information about your use of our websites, apps, and online resources via HTTP referrer and/or depending on your choices regarding cookies. Zed does not use third-party tracking cookies that collect your activity for other websites.
- **As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures** - We may access, preserve, and disclose your information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to:
- Comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena;
- Respond to your requests;
- Protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, security, or safety;
- Protect against legal liability; or
- Investigate fraud or other unlawful activity.
For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of your information may occur if you post any objectionable, harmful, or illegal content on or through our websites or products and services.
- **Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers** - We may transfer your personal data to service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets.
- **With Your Consent** - We may also disclose your information for other purposes with your permission.
## Your Choices
- **Marketing Communications** - You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails via the link provided in the emails. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative and security-related messages from us as long as you maintain a Service account.
- **Do Not Track** - Because there is no widely-accepted standard on how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we instead utilize and honor [Global Privacy Control (GPC)](https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#gpc-spec) as an alternative where and when feasible.
- **Opting-out of Software Telemetry** - Learn more about telemetry and how to opt out of Software telemetry collection at [https://zed.dev/docs/telemetry](/telemetry)
- **Disabling Image Loading for Email** - In order to prevent the use of tracking pixels, you may disable image loading in your own email client.
## Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you are located, applicable data protection laws may provide you with specific rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we maintain about you, update, and correct inaccuracies in your personal data, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, have your personal data anonymized or deleted, as appropriate, or exercise your right to data portability to easily transfer your personal data to another company.
- Withdraw any consent you previously provided to us regarding the processing of your personal data at any time and free of charge. We will apply your preferences going forward and this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before you withdrew your consent.
- **Your European Privacy Rights** - If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), you may exercise any of the rights described above under GDPR or applicable local data protection law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, including in your country of residence, place of work, or where an incident took place.
### How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights
Regardless of where you are located, you may exercise these rights by contacting us at [privacy@zed.dev](mailto:privacy@zed.dev) or by using the contact details at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please include the subject line "Privacy Request" and include: (1) the specific right you wish to exercise, (2) your account email address, and (3) any details that help us locate your data.
Before fulfilling your request, we may ask you to provide reasonable information to verify your identity. Zed will respond to these requests without undue delay and in any event, within one month and will execute the request within one month of responding. Complex requests may require an additional 60 days with notice provided to you.
Please note that there are exceptions and limitations to each of these rights, and that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable period of time, we may retain personal data for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate and lawful reason to do so.
## Third Parties
Our websites, products, and services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate or permit you to integrate with third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of these third parties. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any data you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any data to them.
## Retention
We keep personal data as long as necessary to provide, maintain, and secure our websites, products, and services. We take measures to avoid retaining data we don't need - for example, we don't store source code proxied during collaboration sessions, or audio, video, and screen contents from calls.
When you request deletion, we take measures to delete your personal data or anonymize it, unless we're legally required to retain it. We determine retention periods based on the type of service, our relationship with you, legal requirements, and applicable statutes of limitations.
## Security
Designing Zed and our Service with “secure-by-default” as an objective is of utmost importance to us. We take your security and ours very seriously and strive to follow industry best-practice in order to uphold that principle.  To learn more about Zed’s security program, please visit [https://zed.dev/docs/ai/privacy-and-security](https://zed.dev/docs/ai/privacy-and-security).
Zed will notify users as soon as possible should an incident affect their security or privacy. However, because no electronic transmission or storage of data can be proven entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your data.
## Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal data from children under 18 years of age, and no part of our websites, products, or services is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal data in violation of this Privacy Policy, alert us at [privacy@zed.dev](mailto:privacy@zed.dev).
## International Visitors
Our websites, products, and services are hosted in the United States (“**U.S.**”). If you choose to use our websites or products and services from the EEA, the UK or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal data outside of those regions to the U.S. for storage and processing. We may transfer personal data from the EEA or the UK to the U.S. and other third countries based on European Commission-approved or UK Government-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or otherwise in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may also transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating our websites, products, and services. By providing any data, including personal data, on or to the websites, products, or services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing. For more information about the tools that we use to transfer personal data, or to obtain a copy of the contractual safeguards we use for such transfers (if applicable), you may contact us as described below.
## Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will post any adjustments to the Privacy Policy on this page, and the revised version will be effective when it is posted. Registered customers will be notified of material privacy policy changes via the email on file with Zed.
## Contact Information
When data is used as outlined in this Privacy Policy, Zed is the data controller and responsible for the processing of your personal data. When Zed processes personal data on behalf of Zed Business customers as a data processor, the terms of our Data Processing Agreement apply.

title: Subprocessor List
slug: subprocessors
---
Zed uses select third-party subprocessors to deliver core product functionality. Each subprocessor processes customer personal data only as necessary to provide its service, and all are subject to appropriate data protection agreements.
### How Zed Uses Subprocessors
To provide fast, reliable, and secure functionality, Zed relies on a small number of carefully vetted third-party subprocessors. These vendors help us deliver essential capabilities such as hosting, billing, analytics, real-time collaboration, and hosted AI features.
Each subprocessor only processes customer personal data as needed to provide its service.
Zed maintains contracts and data protection agreements with all subprocessors, including GDPR-compliant terms where applicable. We do not sell customer data, and we do not share customer personal data with vendors for advertising or marketing purposes.
### AI Subprocessors
Zed offers three modes for AI:
1. **Bring your own API key** — data goes directly from the customer to the model provider; Zed does not process or store it.
2. [**External Agents**](https://zed.dev/docs/ai/external-agents) — Zed uses ACP to provide an enhanced experience with terminal-based AI code agents like Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. Data is not processed or stored by Zed when using external agents.
3. **Zed-hosted models** — Zed sends customer prompts to one of its AI providers (listed below). These vendors act as subprocessors only for customers who choose this mode.
### Ongoing Updates
**Last Updated**: March 2, 2026
This subprocessor list is reviewed regularly. Zed will notify customers of material changes in accordance with our [Terms](https://zed.dev/terms) and [Privacy Policy](https://zed.dev/privacy-policy).

**Last Updated**: March 2, 2026
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Zed Industries, Inc. (“**Zed**,” “**we**,” or “**us**”) and our website at [www.zed.dev](https://www.zed.dev), along with our downloadable Zed software (the “**Software**”) and related subscription service (the “**Service**”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Zed regarding your use of the Service.
Please read the following Terms carefully.
**By accessing or using the Service, you (“You” or “Customer”) agree to these Terms of Service, the Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”), available upon request, and Zed’s [Privacy Policy](/privacy-policy) (collectively, the “Terms”).**

## 1. Overview
Subject to these Terms, Zed will permit Customer to access and use Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering (the “**Service**”), which enables certain additional features and functionality (including artificial intelligence and collaboration features) in Zed’s open source code editing software (“**Software**”).

Zed shall provide Customer with a list of Open Source Components upon Customer's request.
## 3. General Payment Terms
Accessing certain features and tiers of the Service requires Customer to pay fees. Before Customer pays any fees, Customer will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that Customer will be charged. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in these Terms, all fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable, except as required by law.
### 3.1. Price
Zed reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Zed will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on our pricing page at [https://zed.dev/pricing](https://zed.dev/pricing) up to date. Zed encourages Customer to check Zed’s pricing page periodically for current pricing information. Zed may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including by adding fees or charges, if Zed gives Customer advance notice of changes before they apply.
### 3.2. Taxes
Customer is responsible for any sales, use, GST, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes or levies that apply to Orders, whether domestic or foreign, other than Zed’s income tax (“**Taxes**”). Fees are exclusive of all Taxes. If Customer is compelled to make a deduction or set-off for any such Taxes, Customer will pay Zed such additional amounts as necessary to ensure receipt by Zed of the full amount Zed would have received but for the deduction.
### 3.3. Authorization
Customer authorizes Zed to charge all sums for the orders that Customer makes, the level of Service that Customer selects, and Customer’s submission of prompts or other Customer Data (defined below) to the Service to generate Output (defined below) as described in these Terms or published by Zed, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in Customer’s account. If Customer pays any fees with a credit card, then Zed may seek pre-authorization of Customer’s credit card account prior to Customer’s purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover Customer’s purchase.
### 3.4. Subscription Service
The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges ("**Subscription Service**"). The "**Subscription Billing Date**" is the date when Customer purchases its first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that Customer selects on its account (such period, the "**Initial Subscription Period**"), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a "**Subscription Period**") unless Customer cancels the Subscription Service or Zed terminates it. If Customer activates a Subscription Service, then Customer authorizes Zed or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For information on the "Subscription Fee", please see Zed’s pricing page at [https://zed.dev/pricing](https://zed.dev/pricing). Customer’s account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of its Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. Customer must cancel its Subscription Service before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to Customer’s account. Zed or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with Customer’s account or that Customer otherwise provides to Zed. Customer may cancel the Subscription Service from the account page at https://zed.dev/account or by contacting us at [billing-support@zed.dev](mailto:billing-support@zed.dev). **YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING CHARGED FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.**
### 3.5. Consumption Fees
Customer’s subscription to the Service may permit Customer to submit prompts or other Customer Data for the purpose of generating Output, at no additional charge for a certain number of times each month. If Customer elects to submit a volume of prompts in excess of the quantity included in its Subscription Fee, then Customer authorizes Zed to charge, and Customer will be charged, a fee for each additional prompt at the rates set forth at [https://zed.dev/docs/ai/models](https://zed.dev/docs/ai/models).
### 3.6. Delinquent Accounts
Zed may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then Zed reserves the right to delete your account and any information or Customer Data associated with your account without any liability to Customer.
## 4. Data
### 4.1. Zed's Use of Customer Data
Customer hereby grants Zed a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-sublicensable (except to service providers and Customer’s designees), non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 15.1) right to use, copy, store, disclose, transmit, transfer, display, modify, create derivative works from, collect, access, store, host, or otherwise process (“**Process**”) any materials that Customer inputs into or otherwise makes available to the Service (including prompts and other written content) (collectively, “**Customer Data**”) solely: (a) to perform its obligations set forth in the Terms, including its Support obligations as applicable; (b) to derive and generate Telemetry (see Section 4.4); and (c) as necessary to comply with applicable Laws. Except as required by applicable Laws, Zed will not provide Customer Data to any person or entity other than Customer’s designees (including pursuant to Section 7) or service providers. In the event that autocomplete suggestions are turned on, Customer understands and agrees that the Service will periodically send Customer Data in the background to an AI Provider for the purpose of generating autocomplete input suggestions in the Services. Autocomplete features can be turned off at any time, in which case Customer Data will not be sent.
### 4.2. Customer's Ownership of Output
The Service may generate specifically for, and make available to, Customer text and written content based on or in response to Customer Data input into the Service (collectively, “**Output**”), including through the use of technologies that incorporate or rely upon artificial intelligence, machine learning techniques, and other similar technology and features. As between the Parties, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable Laws, Customer owns all Output and Zed hereby irrevocably assigns to Customer all right, title, and interest in and to the Output that Zed may possess. **For the avoidance of doubt, Zed and its AI Providers will not retain or use Customer Data for the purpose of improving or training the Service or any AI Provider products, except to the extent Customer explicitly opts-in on Zed’s specific feature to allow training and/or such improvement (such as fine-tuning) and is solely for the benefit of Customer.**
### 4.3. Zed's Collection of Output Rating
The Service may enable Customer, at its option, to rate or otherwise provide feedback with respect to Output generated through the Service. If Customer opts in to provide feedback concerning Output using the features of the Software or Service (e.g., by clicking an Output rating button), then Customer agrees that Zed may Process that Output and associated Customer Data for the purpose of product development and improvement (“Output Rating”). For clarity, Customer’s decision to opt in to provide Output Rating is specific to the corresponding Output. Your decision to provide Output Rating with respect to one instance of Output does not give Zed the right to use any other Output for Output Rating purposes.
### 4.4. Telemetry
Zed may collect, generate, and Process information, including technical logs, metrics, and data and learnings, related to the Software and Service (“**Telemetry**”) to improve and support the Services and for other lawful business purposes. Customer may configure the Software to opt out of the collection of certain Telemetry Processed locally by the Software itself, but Zed may still collect, generate, and Process Telemetry on Zed’s servers. Zed may not disclose Telemetry to any third-party other than Zed’s Representatives unless it is de-identified so that it does not identify Customer as the source thereof and is aggregated with data across other customers. **For avoidance of doubt, Telemetry expressly does not include Customer Data.**
## 5. Customer Obligations
Customer is responsible for its Customer Data and will comply with applicable Laws when using the Service. Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained all rights, consents, and permissions necessary for Zed to Process Customer Data and exercise the rights granted to it in the Terms without violating or infringing Laws or third-party rights. Customer Data shall not contain: (a) any “protected health information” or “PHI” as defined under HIPAA (including 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164); or (b) any payment card or cardholder data subject to PCI DSS (including primary account numbers, full track or chip data, CVV/CVC codes, PINs, or similar payment card security data). Customer is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with this restriction and shall be liable for, and shall indemnify Zed against, any claims, fines, or penalties arising from Customer’s breach of this Section. Zed disclaims any and all liability in connection with Customer Data.
## 6. Suspension of Service
Zed may immediately suspend Customer’s access to any or all of the Service if: (a) Customer breaches Section 2.2 - 2.4 or Section 5; (b) any payments required under the Terms are overdue by 30 days or more; (c) changes to Laws or new Laws require that Zed suspend the Service or otherwise may impose additional liability on Zed in connection with its provision of the Service to Customer; or (d) Customer’s breach of the Terms risks harm to any of Zed’s other customers or the security, availability, or integrity of the Service or other services and entities. Where practicable, Zed will use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with prior notice of the suspension (email sufficing). If the issue that led to the suspension is resolved, Zed will restore Customer’s access to the Service.
## 7. Data Sharing and Third-Party Integrations
### 7.1. Collaboration Services
Certain features of the Service may allow Customer to share data between accounts on the Service, including accounts controlled by persons and entities not associated with Customer (“**Collaboration Features**”). If Customer elects to use Collaboration Features, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Zed will, and authorizes Zed to, make available Customer Data consisting of file paths, file contents, and metadata regarding the code returned by language servers to the third parties designated by Customer, and that Zed exercises no control over, and has no liability for, the acts or omissions of such third parties (including in connection with the Customer Data). Currently, with the exception of the Channel notes feature, Zed does not persist any shared Customer Data beyond the designated Collaboration Feature session.
### 7.2. Third-Party Integrations
The Service may support integration with third-party platforms, add-ons, services, or products not provided by Zed (“**Third-Party Platforms**”). Use of any Third-Party Platforms integrated with or made available through the Service is subject to Customer’s agreement with the relevant provider and not these Terms. Zed does not control and has no liability for Third-Party Platforms, including their security, functionality, operation, availability, or interoperability with the Service. By enabling a Third-Party Platform to interact with the Service, Customer authorizes Zed to access and exchange Customer Data with such Third-Party Platform on Customer’s behalf.
## 8. Disclaimers; No Warranties by Zed
THE SOFTWARE, SERVICE, OUTPUT, AND ALL OTHER ZED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. ZED, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. ZED DOES NOT WARRANT THAT CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT IT WILL MAINTAIN CUSTOMER DATA WITHOUT LOSS. ZED IS NOT LIABLE FOR DELAYS, FAILURES, OR PROBLEMS INHERENT IN USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE OF ZED’S CONTROL. ZED IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICE OR OUTPUT OR CUSTOMER’S DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Service may produce inaccurate or erroneous Output; (b) Customer is responsible for independently evaluating the Output and any other information Customer receives from the Service; and (c) due to the nature of the Service and artificial intelligence technologies generally, Output may not be unique and other users of the Service may receive output from the Service that is similar or identical to the Output (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such similar or identical output will not be understood to be Output).
THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 8 (DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY ZED) APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Zed does not disclaim any warranty or other right that Zed is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.
## 9. Term, Termination, and Modification of the Service
### 9.1. Term
These Terms are effective beginning when Customer accepts the Terms or first downloads, installs, accesses, or uses the Service, and ending when terminated as described in Section 9.2 (Termination).
### 9.2. Termination
If Customer violates any provision of these Terms, then Customer is not authorized to access the Service and these Terms automatically terminate. In addition, Zed may, at its sole discretion, terminate these Terms or Customer’s account on the Service, or suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Service, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to Customer arising from such termination. Customer may terminate its account and these Terms at any time by contacting Zed at [hi@zed.dev](mailto:hi@zed.dev).
### 9.3. Effect of Termination
Upon termination of these Terms: a) Customer’s license to access and use the Service will terminate and Customer must immediately cease all use of the Service; b) Customer will no longer be authorized to access its account or the Service; c) Customer must pay Zed any unpaid amount that was due prior to termination; and d) all payment obligations accrued prior to termination and Section(s) 2.4 (Restrictions), 3 (General Payment Terms) with the exception of 3.4 (Subscription Service), 4.2 (Customer’s Ownership of Output), 4.4 (Telemetry), 8 (Disclaimers; No Warranties by Zed), 9.3 (Effect of Termination), 10 (Ownership; Feedback), 11 (Limitations of Liability), 12 (Indemnity), 15 (Governing Law, Dispute Resolution and Arbitration); and 16 (General Terms), will survive. If Customer’s account has been terminated for a breach of these Terms, then Customer is prohibited from creating a new account on the Service.
### 9.4. Modification of the Service
Zed reserves the right to modify or discontinue all or any portion of the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service), temporarily or permanently, without notice to Customer. Zed will have no liability to Customer for any change to the Service.
## 10. Ownership; Feedback
Neither Party grants the other Party any rights or licenses not expressly set out in the Terms. Except as expressly provided in the Terms, as between the Parties, Customer retains all intellectual property rights and other rights in and to the Customer Data and Output. Except for the rights and licenses granted in the Terms, Zed and its licensors retain all intellectual property rights in and to the Service and Software. To the extent Customer provides Zed with feedback (including suggestions and comments for enhancements or new functionality) regarding the Service or Software, Output, or Zed’s products, services, or other technology (“**Feedback**”), Zed has the full and unrestricted right (but no obligation) to use or incorporate Feedback in any manner, including to improve and develop any of its products, services, technology, or other materials without attribution to Customer.
## 11. Limitations of Liability
### 11.1.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE ZED ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY ZED ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
### 11.2.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE ZED ENTITIES TO CUSTOMER FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR OTHERWISE ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF:  THE AMOUNT CUSTOMER HAS PAID TO ZED FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR US$100.
### 11.3.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
## 12. Indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer is responsible for its use of the Service, and Customer will defend and indemnify Zed, its affiliates, and their respective shareholders, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, consultants, and agents (together, the "Zed Entities") from and against every claim brought by a third party, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (1) Customer’s unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Service; (2) the Customer Data; (3) Customer’s use of Output; (4) Customer’s violation or alleged violation of any portion of these Terms, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms, or any applicable law or regulation; (5) Customer’s violation or alleged violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (6) any dispute or issue between Customer and any third party. Zed reserves the right, at Zed’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Customer (without limiting Customer’s indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, Customer agrees to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
## 13. Confidentiality
### 13.1. Definition
“**Confidential Information**” means information disclosed to the receiving Party (“**Recipient**”) under the Terms that is designated by the disclosing Party (“**Discloser**”) as proprietary or confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be proprietary or confidential due to its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure. Zed’s Confidential Information includes the terms and conditions of the Terms and the Service (including any technical or performance information about the Service).
### 13.2. Obligations
As Recipient, each Party will: (a) hold Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose it to third parties except as permitted in the Terms, including Section 4.1; and (b) only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under the Terms. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Zed, the subcontractors referenced in Section 16.5) (“**Representatives**”), provided Recipient remains responsible for its respective Representatives’ compliance with this Section 13 and such Representatives are bound by written agreements (or, in the case of professional advisers like attorneys and accountants, ethical duties) imposing confidentiality and non-use obligations no less protective than this Section 13.
### 13.3. Exclusions
These confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that Recipient can document: (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of Recipient or its Representatives; (b) it rightfully knew or possessed prior to receipt under the Terms; (c) it rightfully received from a third party without breach of confidentiality obligations; or (d) it independently developed without using Confidential Information.
### 13.4. Remedies
Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone are an insufficient remedy. Discloser may seek appropriate equitable relief, in addition to other available remedies, for breach or threatened breach of this Section 13, without the  necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages.
### 13.5. Required Disclosures
Nothing in the Terms prohibits Recipient from making disclosures, including of Customer Data and other Confidential Information, if required by Laws, subpoena, or court order, provided (if permitted by Laws) it notifies Discloser in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.
## 14. Publicity
Neither Party may publicly announce that the Parties have entered into the Terms, except with the other Party’s prior consent or as required by Laws. However, Zed may use the name, brand, or logo of Customer (or Customer’s parent company) for the purpose of identifying Customer as a licensee or customer on Zed’s website or in other promotional materials. Zed will cease further use at Customer’s written request.
## 15. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
### 15.1. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue
The Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the United States without regard to conflicts of laws provisions that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The parties further agree that except as stated below in the Arbitration provision, and for any claims under Section 15.2 (b), each party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, for any action arising out of or relating to these Terms, and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM CUSTOMER MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
### 15.2. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, OR THE BREACH THEREOF, SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION AND JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. IF THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT WHETHER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAN BE ENFORCED OR APPLIES TO THE DISPUTE, CUSTOMER AND ZED AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR WILL DECIDE THAT ISSUE.
**a. Opt-Out.** If Customer does not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, Customer may opt out of the provisions of this Section 17.2 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that Customer agrees to these Terms by sending an email to [arbitration-opt-out@zed.dev](mailto:arbitration-opt-out@zed.dev) or a letter to Zed Industries, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 2590 Welton Street, Suite 200, PMB 1916, Denver, CO 80205 that specifies: Customer’s full legal name, the email address associated with Customer’s account on the Service, and a statement that Customer wishes to opt out of arbitration (“**Opt-Out Notice**”). Once Zed receives Customer’s Opt-Out Notice, this Section 15.2 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 15.1 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by Customer’s Opt-Out Notice.
**b. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification.** Prior to initiating an arbitration, Customer and Zed each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. Zed will contact Customer at the email address Customer has provided to Zed; Customer can contact Zed by email at [legal@zed.dev](mailto:legal@zed.dev). If after a good faith effort to negotiate, one party feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.
**c. Exceptions to Arbitration.** Customer and Zed each agree that the following claims are exceptions to arbitration and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; or (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
**d. Arbitration Rules.** (1) If Customer is domiciled in the U.S. - Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. (2) If Customer is domiciled internationally outside the U.S. - Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be determined by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules.
**e. Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location.** Customer agrees that any required arbitration hearing will be conducted in the English language by one (1) mutually agreed upon arbitrator, (a) in city/county and state of Customer’s headquarters unless both parties agree otherwise; and appearances may be made via telephonic or video hearing; and (b) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
### 15.3. Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, CLAIM, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS. CUSTOMER AND ZED EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR OTHER ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
## 16. General Terms
### 16.1.
These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Customer and Zed regarding your use of the Service. Customer may not assign or transfer these Terms or its rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without Zed’s prior written consent. Zed may assign these Terms and all rights granted under these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect Zed’s right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by Zed of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of Section headers in these Terms are for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms are held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
### 16.2. Notices
Except as set out in the Terms, any notice or consent under the Terms must be in writing to the Customer email address on the Order and Customer shall send all notices to Zed at Zed Industries, Inc., 2590 Welton Street, Suite 200, PMB 1916, Denver, CO 80205 with cc: to [legal@zed.dev](mailto:legal@zed.dev) and will be deemed given: (a) upon receipt if by personal delivery; (b) upon receipt if by certified or registered U.S. mail (return receipt requested); or (c) one day after dispatch if by a commercial overnight delivery service. Either Party may update its address with notice to the other Party pursuant to this Section. Zed may also send operational notices to Customer by email or through the Service.
### 16.3. DPA
The terms of the Data Processing Agreement (“**DPA**”), available upon request, are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
### 16.4. Modification of Terms
Zed may, from time to time, change these Terms. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Revisions will be effective immediately except that, for existing users, material revisions will be effective 30 days after posting or notice to Customer of the revisions unless otherwise stated. Zed may require that Customer accept modified Terms in order to continue to use the Service. If Customer does not agree to the modified Terms, then Customer should discontinue its use of the Service and notify Zed at hi@zed.dev, in which case Zed will provide a pro-rated refund of any prepaid Subscription Fee. The terms in any Customer purchase order or business form will not amend or modify the Terms and are expressly rejected by Zed; any of these Customer documents are for administrative purposes only and have no legal effect with respect to the Terms.
### 16.5. Subcontractors
Zed may use subcontractors and permit them to exercise Zed’s rights, but Zed remains responsible for their compliance with the Terms and for its overall performance under the Terms.
### 16.6. Independent Contractors
The Parties are independent contractors, not agents, partners, or joint venturers.
### 16.7. Export
Customer will comply with all relevant U.S. and foreign export and import Laws in using the Service. Customer: (a) represents and warrants that it is not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties or located in (or a national of) a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (b) agrees not to access or use the Service in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition, or restriction; and (c) will not submit to the Service any information controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations.

The Service was developed fully at private expense. All other use is prohibited.
### 16.9. Privacy Policy

### 16.10. Additional Terms
Customer’s use of the Service is subject to all additional terms, policies, rules, or guidelines applicable to the Service or certain features of the Service that we may post on or link to from the Service (the “**Additional Terms**”). All Additional Terms are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.
### 16.11. Consent to Electronic Communications

Please read the Privacy Policy to learn more about Zed’s electronic communications practices. Customer agrees that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that Zed sends to Customer electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing. Zed may send Customer emails concerning Zed products and services, as well as those of third parties. Customer may opt out of promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in the promotional email itself.
