5. NON-SFDC PROVIDERS
If Customer chooses to use a Non-SFDC Application with the SFDC Services, Customer grants SFDC permission to allow the Non-SFDC Application and its provider to access Customer Data as required for the interoperation of that Non-SFDC Application with the SFDC Services. SFDC is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by the provider of such Non-SFDC Application or its provider. The SFDC Services may contain features designed to interoperate with such Non-SFDC Applications. To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to such Non-SFDC Applications from their providers and may be required to grant SFDC access to Customer’s account(s) on such Non-SFDC Applications. SFDC cannot guarantee the continued availability of such SFDC Service features, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-SFDC Application ceases to make the Non-SFDC Application available for interoperation with the corresponding SFDC Service features in a manner acceptable to SFDC.
