1. Use of Service.

(a) Each User subscription to the Reseller Application Service shall entitle one User to use the Service via the Reseller Application Service, subject to the terms of these Platform Terms of Use, together with any other terms required by Reseller.  User subscriptions cannot be shared or used by more than one User (but may be reassigned from time to time to new Users who are replacing former Users who have terminated employment with You or otherwise changed job status or function and no longer require use of the Service).  For clarity, Your right to use the Service hereunder does not include a right to use the SFDC CRM Service except for those functionalities expressly described in the Help text within the Reseller Application Service.  If you wish to use the SFDC CRM Service or any of its functionalities or services, visit www.salesforce.com to contract directly with SFDC for such services.  In the event Your access to the Reseller Application Service provides You with access to the SFDC CRM Service generally or access to any SFDC CRM Service functionality within it that is in excess to the functionality described in the Reseller Application Service’s user guide and/or your Order Form with Your Reseller, and You have not separately subscribed under a written contract with SFDC for such access, then You agree to not access and use such functionality, and You agree that Your use of such functionality would be a material breach of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any access You may have to the Service via the Reseller Application Service, Reseller is the sole provider of the Reseller Application Service and You are entering into a contractual relationship solely with Reseller.  In the event that Reseller ceases operations or otherwise ceases or fails to provide the Reseller Application Service, SFDC has no obligation to provide the Reseller Application Service or to refund You any fees paid by you to Reseller.

(c) You (i) are responsible for all activities occurring under Your User accounts; (ii) are responsible for the content of all Your Data; (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Service, and shall notify Reseller or Salesforce.com promptly of any such unauthorized use You become aware of; and (iv) shall comply with all applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws and regulations in using the Service.

(d) You shall use the Service solely for Your internal business purposes and shall not:  (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time share or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Service available to any third party, other than to Users or as otherwise contemplated by these Platform Terms of Use; (ii) send spam or otherwise duplicative or unsolicited messages in violation of applicable laws; (iii) send or store infringing, obscene, threatening, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, including material that is harmful to children or violates third party privacy rights; (iv) send or store viruses, worms, time bombs, Trojan horses and other harmful or malicious code, files, scripts, agents or programs; (v) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or the data contained therein; or (vi) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems or networks.
