What are third-party products? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

For clarity, third-party products (as we use that term in the Atlassian Customer Agreement) are not third-party components of the products themselves. Instead, they are separate products or add-ons that can be used with our products only at the election of the customer (including, for example, third-party apps on the Atlassian Marketplace as discussed below).

Section reference: Section 7.2

Does the Atlassian Customer Agreement apply to the apps on the Atlassian Marketplace? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

The Atlassian Customer Agreement will govern any apps that are published by Atlassian as a vendor in the Atlassian Marketplace (see here for a list of apps by Atlassian). However, the Atlassian Customer Agreement does not apply to any other apps, which would be considered third-party products under the Atlassian Customer Agreement and governed by the terms of the customer’s agreement with the applicable third-party provider.

Please see Marketplace Apps - Cloud Trust for more information regarding the third-party apps available on the Atlassian Marketplace.

As a public company, Atlassian maintains and enforces its own Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that has been approved by its Board of Directors.
