Welcome! Thank you for using Asana!

1. Introduction

Asana, Inc. (“Asana,” “we,” “our,” “us”) offers a variety of team productivity, collaboration, and organizational tools, as further described in the Asana Guide and its Release Notes  (collectively, the “Service”), and websites, including but not limited to www.asana.com, wavelength.com, blog.asana.com, community.asana.com (the “Websites”).

These User Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal contract between you and Asana and explain the rules governing your use of our Service and Websites.  These Terms apply to you as a user of the Service, subject to exceptions that apply to Managed Users (as defined and further detailed below in Section 2 (How These Terms Apply)).  By accessing or using the Service and Websites, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms (as applicable) and confirm you have read and understand our Privacy Statement, which is incorporated by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the Service or Websites.

We may revise these Terms from time to time by posting a modified version on our website.  If, in Asana’s sole discretion, the modifications to these Terms are material, we will provide you with reasonable notice prior to the change taking effect, either by emailing the email address associated with your account or by alerting you through the Service and/or Websites.  If you do not agree to or cannot comply with the modified Terms, you must stop using the Service and Websites.  Unless otherwise stated elsewhere in these Terms or in our notice, the updated Terms will take effect upon their posting and will apply on a going-forward basis.  Your continued use of the Service and Websites after any update to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

2. How These Terms Apply

By using Asana, you fall into one or more of the following three different categories of Asana user:

• “Site Visitors” are users of the Websites.

• “Free Users” use the free/basic version of the Service.  Free Users have access to a more limited set of Service features and functionality than Managed Users.  Free Users may have their own individual workspaces and/or take part in a free multi-user Asana domain.

• “Managed Users” use the Service as part of any paid Asana subscription plan purchased by a person or entity (the “Customer”) who has separately entered into a written agreement with Asana (the “Customer Agreement”) governing access and use of the Service and permitting such Customer to create and configure Asana so that Managed Users may join.

To the extent you are a Managed User, only the following sections of these Terms will apply to you: Section 1 (Introduction); Section 2 (How These Terms Apply); and Section 6 (Acceptable Use Policy).

As a Managed User, you gain access to the Service through a Customer of Asana.  For example, if you are joining your employer’s organization, Customer is your employer.  If you are joining a workspace created by your friend using a personal email address, your friend is the Asana Customer and is authorizing you to join his or her workspace.  The Customer Agreement governs our relationship and commitment to deliver the Service to that Customer, who may then invite Managed Users to join their Asana instance.  When you or another Managed User submit content or information to the Service, such as messages or files (“Customer Data”), you acknowledge and agree that, as between Asana and Customer, the Customer Data is controlled by Customer and the Customer Agreement provides Customer with choices and control over that Customer Data.  For example, Customer may manage permissions, enable or disable third party integrations, or take steps to expand, consolidate or share the contents of Asana portfolios, projects, tasks and subtasks, and these choices and instructions may result in the access, use, disclosure, modification or deletion of certain or all Customer Data.

AS BETWEEN ASANA AND CUSTOMER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IT IS SOLELY CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO (A) INFORM YOU AND ANY OTHER MANAGED USERS OF ANY RELEVANT CUSTOMER POLICIES, PRACTICES AND SETTINGS THAT MAY IMPACT THE PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER DATA; (B) OBTAIN ANY RIGHTS, PERMISSIONS OR CONSENTS FROM YOU AND ANY OTHER MANAGED USERS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE LAWFUL USE OF CUSTOMER DATA AND THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE; (C) ENSURE THAT THE TRANSFER AND PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER DATA UNDER THE CUSTOMER AGREEMENT IS LAWFUL; AND (D) RESPOND TO AND RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH YOU AND ANY OTHER MANAGED USERS RELATING TO CUSTOMER DATA, THE SERVICE OR CUSTOMER’S FAILURE TO FULFILL THESE OBLIGATIONS. IN YOUR CAPACITY AS AN MANAGED USER, ASANA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) TO YOU RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHICH IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

3. Eligibility and Scope
