If you are using the Services on your own behalf as an individual, then all references to the “Customer” shall mean you in your personal capacity.

If you are a Representative of a Customer that has entered into a Master Services Agreement with us, then as between us and such Customer, the terms of the Master Services Agreement shall supersede these Terms of Service. However, all Users (as hereinafter defined) agree to be bound by the portion of these Terms of Service applicable to Users.
