Certain Keboola Apps may also be the property of third parties and subject to third-party terms and conditions in addition to those set out in this Agreement. The Client’s use of KBC and related Services integrated with third-party Keboola Apps shall be pursuant to the following:
2.5. Service Restrictions. Client shall only use the Services for the Purpose (as defined an Order Form), and hereby accepts and acknowledges that any other use of the Services is prohibited unless expressly pre-approved by Keboola in writing.
3.1. In exchange for Keboola’s obligations under this Agreement, Client shall pay Keboola the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form (the “Fees”).
3.2. The Client may, from time to time, subscribe for or purchase access to certain Keboola Apps.

Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that Keboola may engage Affiliates or Keboola Authorised Resellers to provide any part or all of the Services, and that Keboola may therefore permit such Affiliates or Keboola Authorised Resellers to invoice Client and accept Fees on Keboola’s behalf. Keboola shall provide prior written notice to Client consenting to such practice, if applicable, and if so authorized, payment of such Fees to such Affiliate or Keboola Authorized Reseller shall be sufficient to discharge Client’s obligations relating to such payment and shall constitute consideration, in addition to other consideration, under this Agreement.
