FRESHWORKS REFRESH COMMUNITY TERMS OF USE

Effective Date: April 7, 2022

Freshworks, Inc. ("Freshworks," "we", “our” and "us") hosts a Freshworks Refresh Community currently located at https://community.freshworks.com (“Refresh Community”) for users to share information about Freshworks products and services (“Freshworks Products”) and encourage conversations around industries/segments to discuss trends and build skills. While we may provide information and contribute to the discussions, much of the value comes through the contributions of individual users (“You” or “Your”) via posts of text, information, data, graphics, messages, sounds, video, content, images, code, edits to posts or any other materials you post/upload (collectively, “Posted Material”).

By accessing and using the Refresh Community, you agree to these Freshworks Refresh Community  Terms of Use (“Refresh Community Terms”), our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and all other policies or notices posted by us through the Refresh Community or referenced herein (collectively, these "Terms"). You agree to notify Freshworks of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make representations in these Terms inaccurate in any respect. These Terms apply no matter how you access the Refresh Community on our website, or through any other means. If you are accessing or using the Refresh Community on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of your company, and all references to "you" reference your company. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE REFRESH COMMUNITY.

For the avoidance of doubt, use and provisioning of Freshworks Products are subject to separate terms available here https://www.freshworks.com/terms, and these Refresh Community Terms do not apply to use of or access to the Freshworks Products.

From time to time, we may revise and update these Terms at our sole discretion. Unless we specify otherwise, changes become effective upon our posting of the updated Terms, and the updated Terms will apply to all users of the Refresh Community after they are posted. You are expected to check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we made, as they are binding on you. It is your responsibility to browse through the latest terms and if you do not agree with the then-current Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to cease further use of the Refresh Community through the foregoing. The continued usage of the Refresh Community will amount to deemed acceptance of the then-current Terms.
