Confirming customer ownership of service data as between the parties establishes that Zendesk does not claim ownership of that data, though it does not restrict Zendesk's licensed use of it.
Interpretive note: The 'as between the parties' qualifier limits the ownership statement to the contractual relationship and does not address third-party claims; this is inherent in the quoted language and is preserved in the canonical claim.
