For any PowerMTA License with a Volume Limitation, you agree to enable and not disable the On-Prem Software’s outbound HTTPS connection that allows us to track the number of Emails sent by you.
8.5. Server License Outbound Connection. If you purchase an Enterprise PowerMTA License with a Server Limitation, the number of outbound connections is unlimited. If you purchase a Standard PowerMTA License with a Server Limitation, you are only permitted a maximum of three (3) outbound connections per each Standard PowerMTA License purchased. This Section 8.5 does not apply to you if your PowerMTA License has a Volume Limitation.

10.7.1 The functionality for recording, storing, downloading and deleting video calls can be made available by us on request by Customer.
10.7.2 Customer is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations to Customer’s use of the video call recording functionality, including data protection laws and intellectual property rights.
10.7.3 A file will be created during the (video) call which contains the selected content of the video call.
10.7.4 Video call recordings can be stored with us, or on premise with the Customer. Depending on the type of storage, the following applies:
10.7.4.1 With us: The file will be encrypted and stored in a designated folder on the cloud server used by us. The file can be downloaded directly by Customer in MP4 format through a secured connection. This storage lasts until the moment the Customer chooses to delete the file or until the Customer terminates the Agreement, whichever is sooner.
10.7.4.2 Transferring from us to external storage: Transferring of the files to the Customer is done through Customer’s transfer mechanism of choice. We will count the transfer as successful once it has initiated the transfer of the file, using the Customer’s transfer mechanism of choice and storage location of choice. Due to external factors (such as availability and updates of the Customer’s transfer mechanism and storage location of choice) we cannot guarantee the successful transfer of the file from us to the Customer’s storage location of choice. We therefore offer Customer to keep a back-up of the file(s) in our encrypted storage, before deleting the file(s) held by us. We will keep the back-ups with due care and diligence. Upon request of the Customer, we can also retain the file(s) in back-up until the Customer has confirmed to us that a file is transferred successfully. In this situation Customer is fully responsible for quality assurance of the video call recordings and to make sure that this confirmation is correct.
10.7.5 In case Customer uses manual recordings (where recordings may be started/stopped manually in the video call) the source data from us is leading in identifying when the recording started/stopped.
10.7.6 We are not liable for any loss / deletion of video call recordings. We are not liable for any claims from Administrators, Users, Managers, Planners and/or Guests regarding the video call recordings.
10.7.7 Customer is responsible to inform their Guests that the video call is being recorded and stored, taking into account the information obligations under the data protection laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should notify and obtain the necessary authorization from your end-users and comply with all information, notification, retention, access and other applicable requirements prescribed by applicable laws. We assume no responsibility when Customer fails to do so.
10.7.8 Prohibited Use: Customer agrees that it will not use, and will not permit any Administrator, User, Manager, Planner and/or Guest to use the Services in violation of any of our terms or in a manner that violates applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to, anti-spam, export control, privacy, and anti-terrorism laws and regulations and laws requiring the consent of subjects of audio and video recordings. Customer also agrees to be solely responsible for compliance with all such laws and regulations.
10.8 Conversation Intelligence.
10.8.1 The functionality for conversation intelligence can be made available by us on request of the Customer. Conversation intelligence converts the recording of a video call into a text file. This text file can be further analyzed with optional add-on functionality including the goal tracker that checks if key topics have been discussed in the conversation.
10.8.2 In order to utilize this functionality, Customer agrees to the following: (a) use of our subprocessor Google Cloud to process the audio tracks of the conversations; and (b) use of the recording functionality of the Video Service as listed under the Section 10.7 (Recordings) above.
