You, on behalf of the individual, company or legal entity that developed the Application for listing on the Slack App Directory, agree to abide by the Slack API Terms of Service, as updated from time-to-time, and as supplemented by these Slack App Directory Terms (together, the "Agreement"). References to "you" or "your" will also be deemed references to that individual, company or legal entity.
License Grants. During the Term, you grant to Slack a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, and royalty-free license to (a) reproduce, perform, display, and use your Application for administrative and demonstration purposes in connection with the operation, improvement and marketing of the Slack App Directory; (b) distribute your Application through the Slack App Directory; (c) perform a Security Review on your Application; and (d) use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, and domain names associated with your Application (collectively, "Your Names") as a reference for marketing or promotional purposes on and in connection with the Slack App Directory and in other communications with, or promotions for, existing or potential developers, partners and customers about the Slack App Directory. For example, we might include Your Names on the Slack App Directory and in blog posts about the Slack App Directory. Slack will comply with your written trademark usage policies as communicated by you to Slack from time to time.
Slack's Developer Policy. You agree to comply with Slack's Developer Policy, as updated by Slack from time-to-time.

You will not distribute any material through the Slack App Directory that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including patent, privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or has permission from their rightful owner to submit the material.
Security Review. During the Term, you grant permission to Slack and its designated personnel, to perform, at times and dates selected by Slack, one or more security reviews on your Application, and related services and/or computer systems, as more fully described at Slack App Security Review (each, a "Security Review"). Slack will not divulge any information to a third party (other than authorized contractors and agents acting on its behalf) that has been disclosed by you in relation to a Security Review. All such information and results are confidential and will be treated as such; provided, that Slack may disclose such information and results to a third party as required by law or to the extent such information and results is in an aggregate form that does not identify your or the Application, and that is stripped of all persistent identifiers (e.g., device identifiers, IP addresses, and cookie IDs). At any time during a Security Review, you may request Slack to promptly stop the tests, however, such request may result in a 'Failed' review. You have sole responsibility for adequate protection and backup of data and/or equipment used in connection with a Security Review and will not make a claim against Slack for lost data, re-run time, inaccurate output, work delays or lost profits resulting from a Security Review.
Slack Brand Guidelines. You acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding any Security Review conducted by Slack, Slack does not "certify," warrant or support the Application.

Failure to provide adequate information or support for your Application may result in low ratings, less prominent placement, or removal from the Slack App Directory.
Review and Ratings. The Slack App Directory may allow users to rate and review your Application. Those ratings may be used to determine the placement of your Application on the Slack App Directory, subject to Slack's ability to change placement at Slack's sole discretion.

Indemnity.

Removals. Slack does not undertake an obligation to monitor your Application or its content, however, Slack may immediately remove your Application from the Slack App Directory if Slack is notified by you or otherwise becomes aware and determines in its sole discretion that any portion of your Application or Your Name (a) violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third party; (b) violates any applicable law or is subject to an injunction; or (c) violates the terms of this Agreement, including Slack's Developer Policy. Slack reserves the right to suspend and/or bar any developer from the Slack App Directory at its sole discretion, without prior notice.
