(“Kaltura,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you”). This Agreement takes effect when you click an “I Accept” button or check box presented with these terms or, if earlier, when you use any of the Service Offerings or Execute an Order Form referencing this Agreement (the “Effective Date”). You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity. Please see Section 14 for definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement.
- Use of the Service Offerings.
1.1 Generally. You may access and use the Service Offerings in accordance with this Agreement. You will adhere to all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of the Service Offerings, including the Acceptable Use Policy and the other Policies as defined in Section 14.
1.2 Your Account. To access the Services, you must create a Kaltura account associated with a valid e-mail address. Unless you activate a Kaltura Multi-Account, you may only create one account per legal entity. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account(s), regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you, your employees or a third party (including your contractors or agents) and, except to the extent caused by our breach of this Agreement, we and our affiliates are not responsible for unauthorized access to your account. You will contact us immediately if you believe an unauthorized third party may be using your account or if your Account Information is lost or stolen.

1.4 Third Party Content. Third Party Content, such as software applications or application services provided by third parties, may be made available directly to you by other companies or individuals under separate terms and conditions, including separate fees and charges. Because we may not have tested or screened the Third Party Content, your use of any Third Party Content is at your sole risk.
- Changes.
We may change, discontinue, or deprecate any of the Service Offerings (including the Service Offerings as a whole) or change or remove features or functionality of the Service Offerings from time to time. We will notify you of any material change to or discontinuation of the Service Offerings. However, if we change, discontinue or deprecate any APIs for the Services, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue supporting the previous version of any API changed, discontinued, or deprecated for 12 months after the change, discontinuation, or deprecation (except if such support (a) would pose a security or intellectual property issue, (b) is economically or technically burdensome, or (c) would violate the law or requests of governmental entities).

4.4 End User Support. You are responsible for providing customer support or service (if any) to End Users. We do not provide any support or services to End Users unless we have a separate agreement with you or an End User obligating us to provide support or services.
- Fees and Payment.
5.1. Service Fees. We calculate and bill fees and charges monthly. We may bill you more frequently for fees accrued if we suspect that your account is fraudulent or at risk of non-payment, or less frequently, at our discretion. You will pay us the applicable fees and charges for use of the Service Offerings as described on the Kaltura Site using one of the payment methods we support. You agree that Kaltura may charge to your credit card (or other payment mechanism selected by you and approved by Kaltura) all amounts due and owing for the Service Offerings, including taxes and service fees, set up fees, subscription fees, or any other fee or charge associated with your account. All amounts payable under this Agreement will be made without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Fees and charges for any new Service or new feature of a Service will be effective when we post updated fees and charges on the Kaltura Site unless we expressly state otherwise in a notice. We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services by giving you at least 30 days’ advance notice. We may charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments.
5.2 Taxes. All fees and charges payable by you are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. You will provide us any information we reasonably request to determine whether we are obligated to collect VAT from you, including your VAT identification number. If you are legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, you are responsible for providing us with legally sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. We will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges under your account occurring after the date we receive the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide us with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
5.3 Order Forms. Notwithstanding Section 5.1 above, if you purchase a subscription to the Service Offerings via an Order Form signed by you and us then the billing terms set forth in this Section 5.3 and the applicable Order Form will apply. Minimum commitments in Order Forms are (a) based on Services purchased and not actual usage; (b) non-cancelable; and (c) cannot be decreased during the specified term. Fees paid for minimum commitments and actual usage are not refundable. Your payments of fees are neither (x) contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor (y) dependent on statements not set forth in the Agreement.

Exhibit A
- Disputes. A dispute is any controversy between you and Kaltura concerning the Service Offerings, the price of the Service Offerings, your account, Kaltura’s advertising, marketing, or communications, your purchase transaction or billing, or any term of this Agreement, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of your or Kaltura’s intellectual property rights. As part of the best efforts process to resolve disputes, and prior to initiating arbitration proceedings, each party agrees to provide notice of the dispute to the other party, including a description of the dispute, what efforts have been made to resolve it, and what the disputing party is requesting as resolution. Notices to us should be sent to [email protected]; we will send notices to you at the email address associated with your account.
- Arbitration Procedure. Disputes not resolved pursuant to Section A above shall be resolved through arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. For more information, see www.adr.org. Arbitration hearings will take place in New York, NY. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must: (a) follow all applicable substantive law; (b) follow applicable statutes of limitations; (c) honor valid claims of privilege; and (d) issue a written decision including the reasons for the award. The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim; however, a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity.
- Arbitration Fees. If you are unable to afford the arbitration costs, Kaltura will advance those costs to you, subject to the arbitrator’s determination if costs should be reimbursed to Kaltura if Kaltura prevails. For disputes involving more than $75,000, the AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
- Conflict with AAA Rules. This Agreement governs if there is a conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.
- Requirement to File Within One Year. Notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, a claim or dispute under this Agreement must be noticed for arbitration within one year of when it could first be filed, or such claim will be permanently barred.
- Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts will not be arbitrated but will be resolved in court, with the balance resolved through arbitration. If any provision of this Exhibit A is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed; however, the remaining provisions shall still apply and shall be interpreted to as nearly as possible achieve the original intent of this Exhibit, inclusive of the severed provision.
