Article 4. Confidential Information

4.01 Confidential Information

(a) From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, customers, services, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, Personal Information, Personal Data and other sensitive or proprietary information. Such information, all of which the Parties shall treat as confidential, may be disclosed or made available to the receiving Party in any of the following formats: orally, in writing or media-based; electronic, paper-based or other form; and marked “confidential” or unmarked, designated confidential or not so designated, or identified as “confidential” or not so identified (collectively, “Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information shall include any information that a receiving Party knows or should reasonably recognize and understand to be confidential and/or proprietary owing to, by way of example but not limitation, the circumstances surrounding the other Party’s disclosure of the information or the character or nature of the information. Confidential Information does not mean and shall not include information that, at the time of disclosure is:

i. In the public domain in the absence of the receiving Party’s breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing Party and in the absence of any wrongdoing by the receiving Party or any third party;

ii. Rightfully in the possession of the receiving Party prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party;

iii. Lawfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or

iv. Independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

(b) The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees or other Authorized Users who need to know the Confidential Information in order to enable the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. The receiving Party is, however, permitted to disclose relevant aspects of such Confidential Information to its officers, employees, attorneys, auditors and/or law enforcement agencies, on a need-to-know-basis, in order to perform its obligations under the Agreement, provided that the receiving Party requires all such persons or entities to protect the Confidential Information to at least the same extent as required under this Article IV (including during the terms of their employment or engagement and thereafter). The receiving Party shall implement technical, managerial, organizational and operational measures to mitigate risks and implement the controls necessary to protect the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Such controls shall be no less protective than those measures it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature (and, in no event, less than commercially reasonable measures). The receiving Party shall give the disclosing Party notice immediately upon learning of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required:

i. To comply with the order of a court, other governmental or regulatory body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given sufficient written notice to the other Party to allow such Party an opportunity to obtain a protective order. Failing that, the Party making the disclosure shall also make a commercially reasonable effort to obtain a protective order on behalf of the other Party. To the extent not prohibited by law, the receiving Party shall promptly provide to the disclosing Party notice of all available details of the legal requirement and shall reasonably cooperate with the disclosing Party’s efforts to challenge the disclosure, seek an appropriate protective order, or pursue such other legal action as the disclosing Party may deem appropriate; or

ii. To enforce a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings.

(c) On the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall, at the disclosing Party’s written election, promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and/or destroy all such copies and upon request of the disclosing Party certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five (5) years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, that, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under any applicable law worldwide.

(d) Where the receiving Party may be considered a Processor or Sub-Processor (as those terms may be defined and/or understood under the GDPR), such receiving Party shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to provide an adequate level of security and protect Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing or a Personal Data Breach as those terms are defined in the GDPR.

5. Intellectual Property Ownership

5.01 Vendor IP. Client acknowledges that, as between Client and Vendor, Vendor owns all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Vendor IP, including, but not limited to, the Vendor platforms and related integrations.

5.02 Client Data. Vendor acknowledges that, as between Vendor and Client, Client owns all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to Client Data.

5.03 Trademarks and Logos. Except where otherwise stated in an Order Form, Client hereby grants Vendor the right to utilize Client’s name, logo and/or trademarks—as well as statements and/or testimonials about Client’s experience(s) with Vendor and the Software—for reference purposes and in connection with certain promotional materials that Vendor may disseminate to the public (e.g., advertising, print marketing and online marketing materials). Vendor may utilize Client’s name, logo and trademarks without providing notice to Client of its intent to do so or requesting Client’s consent.

5.04 Feedback. From time to time, Client may choose to submit comments, information, questions, data, ideas, description of processes, or other information to Vendor, including in the course of receiving support or maintenance (“Feedback”). Vendor may freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be considered Client’s Confidential Information, and nothing in this Agreement limits Vendor’s right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

5.05 Reservation of Rights. Vendor reserves all rights not expressly granted to Client in this Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Client or any third party any Intellectual Property Rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the Vendor IP.

Article 6. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

7.05 Survival. This Article VII, Articles I, IV, V, VI, VIII and IX shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. No other provisions of this Agreement survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Article 8. Security; Privacy

8.01 Security Procedures. Vendor implements security procedures to help protect Client Personal Data and Client Personal Information against security attacks. Client understands that use of the Software necessarily involves transmission of Client Personal Data and Client Personal Information over networks that are not owned, operated or controlled by Vendor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendor acknowledges and confirms that it has in place and will maintain throughout the term of this Agreement appropriate technical and organizational measures to help secure Client Personal Data against accidental, unauthorized or unlawful processing, destruction, loss, damage or disclosure as well as adequate security programs and procedures to ensure that unauthorized persons or parties do not have access to any equipment used to process such information or data. Vendor also agrees that it shall:

(a) Scan the Software for any code or device which is designed or intended to impair the operation of any computer or database or prevent or hinder access to, or the operation of, any program or data, using detection software generally accepted in the industry;

(b) Secure its computing environments according to generally accepted industry standards to ensure that the Software cannot be accessed by any unauthorized person or malicious software; and

(c) Promptly remedy and notify Client of any security breach of Client Personal Information or Personal Data Breach of Client Personal Data about which Vendor becomes aware.

8.02 Processing of Personal Data. The Parties acknowledge that, in addition to other data protection legislation that may govern Vendor’s processing of Client Personal Information, personally identifiable information or Client Personal Data (as those terms are defined in applicable regulatory frameworks), the GDPR, the CCPA and/or PIPEDA may apply to some or all of the Client Personal Data or Client Personal Information. Client Data may include Personal Information and/or Personal Data such as names, contact details, location data, online identifiers (e.g., IP addresses), among other types of Personal Information and/or Personal Data. Consequently, the Parties agree to the following:

(a) Vendor may, by way of example and without limitation, be acting as the Processor (as defined in the GDPR) of Client Personal Data. Vendor and Client agree that they will enter into (i) the Standard Contractual Clauses should Client determine that Vendor will be required to transfer Client Personal Data out of the European Union or European Economic Area (EU/EEA) for processing purposes under this Agreement and (ii) an International Data Transfer Agreement and/or IDTA Addendum should Client determine that Vendor will be required to transfer Client Personal Data out of the United Kingdom for processing purposes under the Agreement.

(b) Vendor shall comply with all applicable Data Protection and Privacy Laws in the processing of Client Personal Data. Vendor shall not process Client Personal Data other than on Client’s documented instructions unless processing is required by applicable laws to which Vendor is subject, in which case Vendor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, inform Client of that legal requirement before the relevant processing of that Client Personal Data.

(c) Vendor shall give Client prior written notice of the appointment of any new Sub-Processor (as defined in the GDPR) that would possess access to Client Personal Data, including full details of the processing to be undertaken by the Sub-Processor. If, within fourteen (14) days of Vendor’s issuance of such notice, Client should notify Vendor in writing that it objects to the proposed appointment, Vendor shall work with Client in good faith to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Software which circumvents the use of that proposed Sub-Processor. Where Vendor cannot effectuate such a change within fourteen (14) days of Vendor’s receipt of Client’s notice, Client may, by written notice to Vendor with immediate effect, terminate the Agreement to the extent that it relates to Software that requires the use of the proposed Sub-Processor.

(d) Vendor shall ensure that the arrangement between Vendor and any Sub-Processor that is governed by a written contract includes terms that offer at least the same level of protection for Client Personal Data as those set out in this Agreement.

(e) Vendor shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and by appropriate technical and organizational measures, assist Client with responding to data subjects’ requests to exercise their rights under the Data Protection and Privacy Laws. Vendor shall promptly notify Client if it receives a request from a data subject under any Data Protection and Privacy Law in respect of Personal Data contained in Client Data. Vendor shall also refrain, with the exception of acknowledging receipt of the same, from responding to such requests except on the documented instructions of Client or as required by applicable laws to which Vendor is subject. In such an event, Vendor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, inform Client of that legal requirement before Vendor responds to the request.

(f) Vendor shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Vendor, provide reasonable assistance to Client in ensuring compliance with the Parties’ obligations pertinent to securing Client Personal Data, breach notification matters, data protection impact assessments and/or transfer impact assessments, where and to the extent applicable.

Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it does not rely on any statement, representation, or warranty other than those expressly set out in this Agreement. Except as set out in this Agreement, all warranties, representations, conditions, terms and undertakings, express or implied, whether by statute, common law, custom, trade usage, course of dealings or otherwise (including, without limitation, as to quality, performance or fitness or suitability for purpose) in respect of the Software and Professional Services are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In no event shall any other provisions, terms or conditions set forth on a Purchase Order be binding on Vendor unless signed by duly authorized representatives of each Party.

9.02 Taxes. Client shall be responsible for any taxes, duties, fees, charges or assessments of any nature appropriately levied by any governmental authority against the Software in Client’s possession or in connection with the sale or import of Software or provision of Professional Services to Client (collectively, “Taxes”). If Vendor is required to pay any such Taxes and/or fines, penalties or assessments as a result of Client’s failure to comply with any laws or regulations governing payment of such Taxes, the amount of any payments so made, plus the expense of currency conversion (if applicable), shall be promptly reimbursed by Client upon submission of Vendor’s invoice thereof. If Client is required to pay any withholding tax on the use of the Software, Client agrees to promptly make such additional payment such that Vendor shall receive fees due hereunder in full and free of any deduction for any such withholding tax.

9.03 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and addressed to the Parties at the addresses set forth in the applicable Order Form (or to such other address as a Party may designate by giving Notice in accordance with this Section 9.03). All Notices must be delivered by: (1) personal delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid); or (2) via certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only: (a) upon receipt and acknowledgment by the receiving Party; and (b) if the Party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section 9.03.

9.04 Force Majeure. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such Party’s reasonable control. Such circumstances shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, communication line failures, power failures, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, other natural or man-made disasters, all occurrences similar to the foregoing, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, other industrial disturbances, acts or failures to act of any governmental or regulatory body (whether civil or military, domestic or foreign), governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, or declaring the implementation of a quarantine or the onset or resurgence of an epidemic or pandemic (any of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”). The affected Party shall notify the other Party in writing within ten (10) days after the beginning of any such event that would affect its performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is delayed for a period exceeding thirty (30) days from the date that such Party issues notice to the other Party about the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-affected Party shall have the right, without any liability to the other Party, to terminate this Agreement.

9.05 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Article IV (Confidential Information) or, in the case of Client, Article II (Access and Use), would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. The Parties further agree that, in the event of such a breach, the other Party would be entitled to pursue equitable relief, including, where and to the extent permitted under applicable law, a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction. The Party seeking relief would possess the right to do so without the necessity of: posting a bond or other security; proving actual damages; or proving that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and would be available to the Party seeking relief in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.

9.06 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other term or provision of this Agreement, nor shall it invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Following a determination by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify such term or provision to achieve their original intent as closely as possible and in order that the transactions contemplated hereunder be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

9.07 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Ohio. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the rights and licenses granted hereunder will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Ohio, in each case located in the city of Cleveland and County of Cuyahoga, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding.

9.08 Assignment & Subcontracting.
Neither Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party to this Agreement; provided, however, that either Party shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity that acquires all or substantially all of such Party’s business or assets; and provided further that with respect to any such assignment by Client or a change of control of Client (collectively, “Client Assignment”):

(a) Client shall provide Notice to Vendor within thirty (30) days following the consummation of such Client Assignment;

(b) Vendor shall have the right to renegotiate the terms of this Agreement should the size, scope, type, nature, and/or usage of the Software changes as a result of such Client Assignment; and

(c) Vendor shall have the right to enter into new agreements with entities that emerge from Client as a result of partial or full divestitures.

Vendor’s consent to any assignment shall not constitute a waiver of any claims it may have under this Agreement nor otherwise amend or modify any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 9.08 will be invalid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Client hereby gives its general written authorization to Vendor to engage and utilize subcontractors to provide all or part of the Software and/or Professional Services contemplated under this Agreement. Vendor will enter into written agreements with all such subcontractors which will contain obligations and provisions relating to Confidential Information that substantially align with those undertaken by Vendor in this Agreement. Vendor shall remain fully responsible for the performance of the work assigned to any subcontractor and for the fulfillment of all payment obligations owed to such subcontractor.

9.09 Export Regulation. The Software uses software and technology that may be subject to United States, European Union and other jurisdictions’ (as applicable) export control laws, including the United States Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. Client agrees to comply with such laws and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), and warrants that it shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Software or the underlying software or technology to, or make the Software or the underlying software or technology accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Client agrees to provide vendor with the destination of the end use of the Software and location of all Authorized Users.

9.10 Prohibition on Corrupt Practices.

(a) Each of the Parties represents, warrants, and undertakes that it shall not engage in corrupt, unfair or fraudulent practices in connection with the provision or use of the Software hereunder. Such practices shall include, but not be limited to, any circumstance in which a Party or an individual counted among its personnel or Authorized Users, either directly or indirectly, accepts bribes or makes offers, payments, or promises to pay money, gifts, or anything of value to any person, including, but not limited to, an executive, official, employee or agent of the following:

i. A governmental department, agency or instrumentality;

ii. A wholly or partially government-owned or controlled or privately-owned or controlled company or business;

iii. A political party (collectively, with (1) and (2) above, “Public Officials”); or

iv. Any person about whom the Party or Authorized User knows or has reason to know will offer, pay or give all or a portion of such money, gift, or thing of value, whether directly or indirectly, to a Public Official, for the purpose of influencing any act, decision or failure to act by such person or other Public Officials or securing an improper advantage in order to obtain, retain or direct business.

(b) Each Party agrees that it will notify the other Party within five (5) business days should it discover that a member of its personnel or other Authorized User has violated this Section 9.10. Each Party agrees that it will record all payments to governmental entities for permits, licenses, expediting charges, or any similar fees, and retain original receipts of all purchases from such governmental entities as well as, where available, scheduled rate cards for such fees. In addition to the foregoing, Vendor represents and warrants that:

i. The information provided to Client for the purpose of fulfilling its anti-bribery and corruption obligations is complete, accurate and not misleading;

ii. It is not subject to sanctions; and

iii. It is not the subject of any allegations of bribery or corruption.

(c) Vendor hereby agrees to notify Client immediately on learning Vendor or its personnel, directly or indirectly, are subject to regulatory enforcement or scrutiny, judicial or law enforcement investigation or litigation of any kind relating to corrupt (including bribery), unfair or fraudulent practices in connection with the provision of the Software hereunder.

(d) Vendor hereby agrees to:

i. Implement and maintain adequate training, policies and procedures for the prevention of corrupt (including bribery), unfair or fraudulent practices that meet or exceed the requirements to comply with applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws, rules and regulations; and

ii. Notify Client of the absence or failing of training, policies and/or procedures relating to the prevention of corrupt (including bribery), unfair or fraudulent practices in connection with the provision of the Software hereunder.

9.11 Amendment and Modification; Waiver.

(a) No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party.

(b) No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement:

i. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; and

ii. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
