“Snap” means Snap Inc. for an individual living in the United States and using the Business Services for herself or himself, or Snap Group Limited for an individual living outside the United States and using the Business Services for herself or himself. If the individual is using the Business Services on behalf of another entity, then “Snap” means Snap Inc. if that entity’s principal place of business is in the United States (even if that entity is acting as agent for another entity somewhere else), or Snap Group Limited if that entity’s principal place of business is outside the United States (even if that entity is acting as agent for another entity somewhere else).

You are responsible for setting and revoking the access levels for your Accounts, and for providing and updating any information that Snap reasonably requests. You are responsible for all activity that occurs in your Accounts, including the actions of each individual with access to your Accounts. If you are authorized to access a third-party Account, you must comply with these Business Services Terms when you access that party’s Account.
The Supplemental Terms and Policies are incorporated by reference into these Business Services Terms if you use the Business Services for the purposes specified in those Supplemental Terms and Policies, including those set forth below. The Supplemental Terms and Policies may specify that you contract with a different Snap entity based on where you live or where your principal place of business is located, so please refer to those Supplemental Terms and Policies to determine which Snap entity you are contracting with when using those Business Services.

Unless Snap expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Snap will not be a sponsor or an administrator of your Promotion.

If you are using the Business Services as principal in connection with services you provide to another individual or entity, then you represent and warrant that you will procure that such individual or entity will comply with, and you will remain primarily liable for, any obligations ascribed to that individual or entity under these Business Services Terms.
You agree, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Snap, its affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees, licensors, and agents from and against any and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs, fines, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) your actual or alleged breach of these Business Services Terms; (b) your use of the Business Services, or any products or services provided by a third party in connection with the Business Services, even if recommended, made available, or approved by Snap; and (c) the actions related to the Business Services of each individual with access to your Accounts.
Snap will promptly notify you in writing of any indemnification claim, but any failure to notify you will not relieve you from any indemnity liability or obligation you may have, except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by that failure. Snap will reasonably cooperate with you, at your expense, in connection with the defense, compromise, or settlement of any indemnification claim. You will not compromise or settle any claim in any manner, nor make any admission of liability, without Snap’s prior written consent, which Snap may provide in its sole discretion. Snap may participate (at its cost) in the defense, compromise, and settlement of the claim with counsel of its own choosing.

Snap may terminate these Business Services Terms, and modify, suspend, terminate access to, or discontinue the availability of any Business Services, at any time in its sole discretion without notice to you. All continuing rights and obligations under these Business Services Terms will survive termination of these Business Services Terms.
