Summary

By using Slack as a 'Customer,' you enter into a binding legal agreement with Slack that controls how you may access and use its Services. The agreement is not contained in a single document: it also pulls in a Main Services Agreement (hosted on Salesforce) and Slack Supplemental Terms through links, so material terms exist in those separate documents as well.

Analysis

The Slack Terms of Service establish a binding agreement between Slack and any party designated as 'Customer,' governing that party's access to and use of Slack's Services. The document functions as the primary governing instrument for that relationship, setting the enforceable conditions under which the Services may be accessed and used. The Terms incorporate two external documents by reference—the Main Services Agreement, hosted on a Salesforce domain, and the Slack Supplemental Terms—both of which carry the same legal force as the Terms themselves and introduce additional obligations and rights beyond what appears in the main document.

What this means for you

If you are a 'Customer,' you are bound by the Slack Terms as a legally enforceable agreement, not merely a set of guidelines. Because the Main Services Agreement and the Slack Supplemental Terms are incorporated by reference, your actual rights and obligations extend to those separate documents as well. To understand the full scope of what you have agreed to, you should review both linked documents—the Main Services Agreement on the Salesforce domain and the Slack Supplemental Terms—in addition to the Slack Terms themselves.
