Bandwidth Trial Agreement

This Trial Account Agreement (“Agreement”) confirms the desire of Bandwidth Inc., with its principal place of business located at 900 Main Campus Drive, Suite 100, Raleigh, NC 27606 (“Bandwidth”) and your organization represented by you as an authorized figure (“Prospective Customer”) agree that Bandwidth shall facilitate the analysis and evaluation of Bandwidth’s products and services by Prospective Customer (the period during which Prospective Customer conducts such analysis and evaluation with Bandwidth’s facilitation, the “Evaluation Period”).

Both parties mutually agree that, assuming the satisfactory completion of the analysis and evaluation during the Evaluation Period, a Master Service Agreement (and related ancillary documents) will be necessary to the business relationship following the Evaluation Period. Neither party has any obligation to enter into any such Master Agreement (or related ancillary documents). In the meantime, certain activities are required to support the analysis and evaluation contemplated by this Agreement during the Evaluation Period.

Bandwidth and Prospective Customer acknowledge and agree that, during the Evaluation Period, the following will apply:

1. All use will be consistent with customary industry standards for trial accounts, including, without limitation, (x) any applicable volume and peak throughput determined by Bandwidth’s sole discretion, and (y) any other limits expressly stated in Appendix A attached hereto.

The AUP is incorporated herein by reference and subject to change.
2.

Bandwidth will retain sole ownership of any such suggestions, comments and/or other feedback and Prospective Customer will not provide any such suggestions, comments and/or other feedback subject to any terms that would impose any obligation on Bandwidth or any of its customers or partners.
