DATANYZE AND LICENSEE AGREE THAT THESE DATANYZE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“TERMS”) SHALL GOVERN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS TO ANY DATANYZE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED OR TO BE PROVIDED TO LICENSEE THAT ARE REFLECTED ON A DATANYZE PURCHASE ORDER OR ORDER FORM (“ORDERING DOCUMENT”).
Licensee and Datanyze agree as follows:
“Datanyze” means Datanyze, LLC, and any Datanyze parents or affiliates.
“Licensee” means the party to whom Datanyze is to provide products or services (whether identified as “licensee”, “customer”, “client” or similar designation in the Ordering Document). If “Licensee” includes more than one legal person, the obligations imposed upon each shall be joint and several. The act of, notice from or to, or signature of any one or more of the persons included within “Licensee” shall be binding on all such persons with respect to all rights and obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to any renewal, extension, termination or modification of this Agreement.
1. SUBSCRIBED SERVICES, GRANT OF LICENSE
1.1 Datanyze, directly or through an affiliate, agrees to provide to Licensee the products and/or services set forth in the Ordering Document (the “Services”). The Services may include information (the “Licensed Materials”), access to and/or use of software or other technology (the “Datanyze Technology”), or other services including premium support. Datanyze will make the Services available to the Licensee via password-protected online access accessible by Licensee with usernames and passwords or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Datanyze grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferrable license to access and use the Services in accordance with this Agreement and during the Term of this Agreement.
1.2 The Services will be provided as they exist and are updated and amended throughout the Term. Information provided as part of any Licensed Materials may be updated on an ongoing basis and provided according to the criteria used to define the scope of the subscribed Services. Licensee understands and acknowledges that the contents of Licensed Materials will change over time as the data is updated, and that at any given time it has a right to access and use the data to which it is subscribed as it exists at that time. Certain portions of the Services may be provided by Datanyze’s third-party licensors, and Datanyze’s ability to provide such information may be subject to the willingness of such licensors to continue to contract with Datanyze. Features and functions of the Datanyze Technology are provided “as is” and as they may be modified, supplemented, or removed from time to time in Datanyze’s sole discretion. Datanyze shall have no liability to Licensee for any modification to any Service, provided that the product or service provided substantially conforms to the description in the Ordering Document.
1.3 Ownership. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, as between Licensee and Datanyze, the Licensed Materials, the Datanyze Technology, and any related documentation (including, without limitation, the content, layout, functions, design, appearance, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property comprising the Licensed Materials or Datanyze Technology) are the property of Datanyze, whether or not they are trademarked, copyrighted, or patented. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not transfer any ownership, right, title, or interest in the Licensed Materials or Datanyze Technology, nor any part thereof, except the limited license provided hereunder, and Licensee expressly disclaims and waives any and all claims to any ownership interest in any such information or materials. This includes, without limitation, any Licensed Materials that Licensee downloads, prints, saves, or incorporates into other materials. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed Materials, in whole or in part, are unique, special, and valuable. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Datanyze, its affiliates and/or its licensors reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Materials and Datanyze Technology, including all related intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to Licensee hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.
1.4 Third-Party Applications. “Third-Party Applications” means computer software programs and other technology that are provided or made available to Licensee or Authorized Users by third parties, including those with which the Datanyze Technology may interoperate, including, for example, Licensee’s CRM, marketing automation software, or sales enablement software, if any. Datanyze may make available certain “Integration Tools”, which consist of Datanyze Technology designed to allow Licensee to use Datanyze Technology and the Licensed Materials in such a way as to interoperate with one or more Third-Party Applications. Datanyze is not responsible for and does not endorse any Third-Party Applications or websites linked to by Datanyze Technology.
1.5 Quality Guarantee. A “Licensed Materials Contact” means a record regarding a natural person, consisting of at a minimum such person’s name and company affiliation, contained in Datanyze’s database and made available to Licensee as part of any of the Services. If at any time during the Term more than 5% of the Licensed Materials Contacts are not employed by (or similarly affiliated with) the specified company, then upon notice from the Licensee, Datanyze shall have 30 days to correct the Licensed Materials in order to make them at least 95% accurate. If Datanyze is unable to achieve 95% accuracy within 30 days, upon notice to Datanyze, Licensee may terminate the Agreement and shall be entitled to a prorated refund of any prepaid Subscription Fees applicable to periods after the date of the first notice under this paragraph.
1.6 Support. Datanyze will provide reasonable assistance and support to assist Licensee and Authorized Users in accessing the Licensed Materials.
2. AUTHORIZED USE OF LICENSED MATERIALS AND DATANYZE TECHNOLOGY, RESTRICTIONS
2.1 Authorized Users. Licensee shall be entitled to designate persons as Authorized Users up to the number of Authorized Users subscribed as stated in the Ordering Document. Each Authorized User will be provided a unique username and password. Such usernames and passwords may not be shared and may not under any circumstances be used by anyone who is not an Authorized User. If any Authorized User’s login credentials are disclosed to any person who is not an Authorized User but who would satisfy the qualification requirements of Section 2.2 hereof, Datanyze may, upon notice to Licensee, deem such sharing to be Licensee’s subscription to the number of additional Authorized Users equal to the number of persons to whom such credentials were disclosed. Licensee shall be responsible for compliance with the terms of this Agreement by all Authorized Users, including, without limitation, the restrictions on use and transfer of Licensed Materials set forth herein. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Authorized Users must provide Datanyze with certain identifying information, including their name and a business email address, and that Authorized Users may be required to accept an end-user license agreement agreeing to Datanyze’s privacy policy and representing that they are authorized to access the Services on Licensee’s behalf.
2.2 Qualification of Authorized Users. Licensee shall not designate any person as an Authorized User unless such person is: (1) a natural person and (2) an employee of Licensee. Licensee may designate a non-employee (i.e., an independent contractor) as an Authorized User provided Licensee takes reasonable steps to ensure such non-employee uses the Services only as permitted under this Agreement. If the employment of any Authorized User that was in effect as of the date such person was designated as an Authorized User terminates, such person’s authorization to access the Services shall be revoked automatically without any further action by Datanyze. In the event of a termination as described in the previous sentence, Licensee shall promptly take all reasonable steps to ensure that such person ceases accessing the Services. Licensee may reassign Authorized User designations at any time subject to the foregoing qualification requirements.
2.3 Authorized Uses, Restrictions. Licensee shall not access or use the Services for any purpose except the business-to-business sales, marketing, recruiting, or business development activities of Licensee. Licensee shall not access or use the Licensed Materials for the benefit of or on behalf of any person or entity except Licensee. Subject to Licensee’s compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, Licensee may use the Services to: (i) view the Licensed Materials; (ii) communicate with any Licensed Materials Contact in a manner that relates to such person’s profession, business, or employment; and (iii) identify prospective sales opportunities, research Licensee’s existing customers and prospects, and otherwise analyze the Licensed Materials in a manner relating to Licensee’s business-to-business sales, marketing, recruiting, and business development activities. Licensee shall not permit anyone who is not an Authorized User to access or use the Services, including any Licensed Materials or any Authorized User login credentials. Licensee shall not distribute, sublicense, transfer, sell, offer for sale, disclose, or make available any of the Licensed Materials or any part of the Services to any third party. Licensee shall not incorporate any portion of the Services or Licensed Materials into Licensee’s own products or services. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall cease accessing the Services and shall cease using the Licensed Materials in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where Licensee has, through using the Licensed Materials in a manner permissible under this Agreement, received responsive communication from a Licensed Materials Contact, Licensee shall not be required to delete such Licensed Materials Contact record upon expiration or termination hereof, and may continue to use such information in a manner otherwise consistent with this Agreement. Licensee is solely responsible for any communications between Licensee or any Authorized User and any Licensed Materials Contact.
2.4 Permitted Use of Datanyze Technology, Restrictions. Licensee is permitted to use the Datanyze Technology solely for the purpose of accessing and using the Licensed Materials as permitted by this Agreement. Licensee will not (i) reverse assemble, reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any of the Datanyze Technology; (ii) reproduce, modify, create, or prepare derivative works of any of the Datanyze Technology or related documentation; (iii) distribute or display any of the Datanyze Technology or related documentation other than to Authorized Users; (iv) share, sell, rent, or lease or otherwise distribute access to the Datanyze Technology, or use the Datanyze Technology to operate any timesharing, service bureau, or similar business; (v) create any security interest in the Datanyze Technology; (vi) alter, destroy, or otherwise remove any proprietary notices or labels on or embedded within or on the Datanyze Technology or related documentation; (vii) disclose the results of any Datanyze Technology or program benchmark tests to any third parties without Datanyze’s prior written consent; or (viii) use automated means, such as bots or crawlers, to access any Datanyze Technology or extract information therefrom (except such means as are included within the Datanyze Technology, such as Integration Tools, or such other means as are expressly approved in advance in writing by Datanyze). Licensee may use Datanyze Technology only in accordance with this Agreement and not for the benefit of any third party, except with Datanyze’s express prior written permission.
2.5 Limitations on Use of the Services. Licensee shall use the Services in a responsible and professional manner consistent with the intended and permissible uses herein and consistent with standard industry practice. Licensee shall not override or circumvent, or attempt to override or circumvent, any security feature, control, or use limits of the Datanyze Technology. Licensee will not use the Licensed Materials or Datanyze Technology for commercial purposes not permitted under this Agreement and shall not designate any person as an Authorized User if Licensee has reason to believe such person is likely to use the Services on behalf of a third party or otherwise in violation of this Agreement. Datanyze may use technological means to place reasonable use limits to prohibit excessive use, including excessive downloads or screen views that indicate a violation of this Agreement, such as sharing with third parties or attempting to circumvent limitations to purchased credits (if applicable). If Licensee’s access to the Services is limited under this paragraph, it may request that the limit be removed, and Datanyze may remove or modify a particular limitation if it determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the proposed use by Licensee is in good faith and otherwise consistent with this Agreement.
2.6 Identification of Licensed Materials. Licensee shall not integrate Licensed Materials into any CRM, marketing automation, or sales enablement system for the purpose of allowing persons who are not Authorized Users to access or use the Licensed Materials. Any Licensed Materials that are downloaded and/or integrated into any CRM system must be maintained with identifying information indicating that such materials originated with Datanyze by, for example, maintaining a leadsource of “Datanyze.”
2.7 Unauthorized Access and Use. In the event Datanyze has a reasonable belief that Licensee or any Authorized User is engaged in any unauthorized access or use of the Licensed Materials or Datanyze Technology in violation of this Agreement, Datanyze, in its sole discretion, may immediately suspend Licensee’s access to the Licensed Materials and/or Datanyze Technology until such violation is resolved to Datanyze’s reasonable satisfaction. Datanyze will have no liability to Licensee for such period of suspension and a suspension shall have no effect on the Term of this Agreement nor on Licensee’s obligation to pay the Subscription Fee.
2.8 Data Credits. “Data Credits” entitle the Licensee to certain access and/or functionality within the Datanyze Technology. Use of a Data Credit is required for an Authorized User to view a contact or company record in the Datanyze Technology. Licensee must purchase an initial allotment of Data Credits, and additional Data Credits may be purchased for an additional fee. The content of any particular record obtained through use of a Data Credit (including the available data points or the accuracy of any particular data point) is “AS IS”; once a Data Credit is used, the use cannot be revoked and no replacement credits or refunds will be provided based on the amount or quality of a particular record. Once a Data Credit is redeemed, Licensee will be able to view the corresponding contact or company record in the Datanyze Technology until such record is updated or modified which may impact Licensee’s ability to continue to view such record without the use of another Data Credit. At the discretion of Datanyze, Data Credits may be withheld until full payment of the Subscription Fee is received from Licensee.
2.8.1 For annual subscriptions, Data Credits shall remain valid for the entirety of the annual subscription period. Any Data Credits that remain unused at the end of such annual subscription period shall automatically expire.
2.8.2 For monthly subscriptions, Data Credits are made available to Licensee at the beginning of each monthly period (commencing on the effective date of this Agreement). Any unused Data Credits at the end of each monthly period shall automatically expire.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION
3.1 Term. The Initial Term of the Agreement is that which is set forth in the Ordering Document (together with any period of extension under Section 3.2 hereof, the “Term”). The Agreement is not cancellable and shall remain in effect until it expires or is earlier terminated according to its terms.
3.2 Automatic Extension of the Term.
3.2.1 Annual Subscription. If Licensee purchases an annual subscription to the Services, on the date that is 60 days prior to the last day of the Term (the “Extension Date”), the Term will automatically extend for one year, unless either party, on or before the Extension Date, notifies the other in writing that the Term shall not so extend. In the event that the Term is extended under this paragraph: (1) Licensee shall remain subscribed during such period of extension to the Services to which it was subscribed as of the Extension Date, and (2) the Subscription Fees to be paid to Datanyze for such Services during such period of extension shall be equal to the amount of the Subscription Fee applicable to all Services to which Licensee was subscribed as of the Extension Date, plus 10% of such fee, plus any applied discount. Subscription Fees for the period of extension hereunder shall be due upon extension of the Term, and shall be payable as invoiced. Datanyze will invoice Subscription Fees for any period of extension in a manner substantially consistent with the payment schedule that applied to the Agreement as of the Extension Date.
3.2.2 Monthly Subscription. If Licensee purchases a monthly subscription to the Services, the Term will automatically extend on a monthly basis (which shall be assessed and measured from the effective date of the Agreement) until either party elects to cancel.
3.3 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately, without further obligation to the other party, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other party that is not remedied within twenty-one (21) days after the breaching party’s receipt of written notice of such breach. The parties may terminate this Agreement at any time upon their mutual Agreement. Datanyze can terminate this Agreement immediately, without further obligation to Licensee, for convenience at any time with or without notice to Licensee.
3.3.1 Monthly Subscription. Licensee can cancel its monthly subscription at any time provided Licensee must submit a valid notice of cancellation prior to the commencement of a new monthly period in order to avoid being charged for the next monthly period’s Subscription Fee. If Licensee submits a valid notice of cancellation prior to the commencement of a new monthly period, then cancellation will become effective at the end of the then-current monthly subscription period.
3.4 Effect of Termination.
3.4.1 Expiration or Termination for any Reason. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that its access to the Licensed Materials may be automatically terminated, all passwords and individual accounts removed, and all information that has been uploaded into Datanyze’s systems by Licensee destroyed. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, unless otherwise provided herein, Licensee agrees to destroy any and all copies of Licensed Materials and any information it has obtained from the Licensed Materials, whether in hard copy or electronic form.
3.4.2 Termination by Datanyze. If this Agreement is terminated by Datanyze due to a material breach by Licensee, all Subscription Fees payable to be paid to Datanyze for the remainder of the then-current Term shall be immediately due and payable to Datanyze, and Licensee shall promptly remit all such fees to Datanyze.
3.4.3. Termination by Licensee. If this Agreement is terminated by Licensee due to an uncured material breach by Datanyze, Datanyze shall promptly refund the pro-rata amount of any pre-paid Subscription Fees attributable to periods after the date of such termination. Other than for termination due to an uncured material breach by Datanyze, no refunds of any type will be issued to Licensee or permitted hereunder.
4. FEES AND TAXES
4.1 Licensee shall pay all fees stated in the Ordering Document and any other fees applicable to its subscription to Services as provided hereunder (the “Subscription Fee”). All Subscription Fees are due and payable at the beginning of each subscription period (e.g. monthly, annual). All amounts payable by Licensee under this Agreement will be paid to Datanyze without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Datanyze’s acceptance of partial payment or any payment of less than the full amount payable at any given time shall not constitute a waiver or release of Datanyze’s right to unpaid amounts.
4.2 Subscription Fees will be stated at the time of purchase or sign-up, as applicable. Subscription Fees are non-refundable except in the specific circumstances described in these Terms. Datanyze only accepts credit cards for payment of Subscription Fees. If Licensee’s subscription involves a recurring payment of a fee, unless Licensee notifies Datanyze before a charge that Licensee wants to cancel or does not want to automatically renew Licensee’s subscription, Licensee understands it will automatically continue and Licensee authorizes Datanyze, or a third party through which Licensee transacts (without notice to Licensee, unless required by applicable law) to collect the then-applicable fees and any taxes, using any credit card Datanyze has on record for Licensee. If all credit cards Datanyze has on file for Licensee are declined for payment of Subscription Fees, Datanyze may cancel Licensee’s subscription.
4.3 Licensee is responsible for any applicable taxes, including, without limitation, any sales, use, levies, duties, or any value added or similar taxes payable with respect to Licensee’s subscription and assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal, or foreign jurisdiction. Unless expressly specified otherwise in the Ordering Document, all fees, rates, and estimates exclude sales taxes. If Datanyze believes any such tax applies to Licensee’s subscription and Datanyze has a duty to collect and remit such tax, the same may be set forth on an invoice to Licensee unless Licensee provides Datanyze with a valid tax exemption certificate, direct pay permit, or multi-state use certificate, and shall be paid by Licensee immediately or as provided in such invoice. Datanyze is solely responsible for taxes based upon Datanyze’s net income, assets, payroll, property, and employees.
5. DATA PROTECTION AND CONFIDENTIALITY
5.1 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Datanyze will operate in accordance with its published Privacy Policy (available at datanyze.com/privacy-policy or as Datanyze may otherwise indicate), which is incorporated herein by reference.
5.2 “Confidential Information” of a party means such party’s (or its affiliate’s): inventions, discoveries, improvements, and copyrightable material not yet patented, published, or copyrighted; special processes and methods, whether for production purposes or otherwise, and special apparatus and equipment not generally available or known to the public; current engineering research, development, design projects, research and development data, technical specifications, plans, drawings and sketches; business information such as product costs, vendor and customer lists, lists of approved components and sources, price lists, production schedules, business plans, and sales and profit or loss information not yet announced or not disclosed in any other way to the public; and any other information or knowledge not generally available to the public. “Confidential Information” does not include the Licensed Materials (which are subject to other restrictions under this Agreement) nor otherwise include business contact or firmographic information regarding third parties. All business terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, pricing and access, shall be considered Confidential Information of Datanyze.
5.3 Each party shall keep in confidence all Confidential Information of the other party obtained prior to or during the Term of this Agreement, and shall protect the confidentiality of such information in a manner consistent with the manner in which such party treats its own confidential material, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Without the prior written consent of the other party, a party shall not disclose or make available any portion of the other party’s Confidential Information to any person, firm, association, or corporation, or use such Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, except for the performance of this Agreement. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Confidential Information that: (a) was known to such party (as evidenced by its written record) or was in the public domain prior to the time obtained by such party; (b) was lawfully disclosed to such party by a third party who did not receive it directly or indirectly from such party and who is under no obligation of secrecy with respect to the Confidential Information; or (c) became generally available to the public, by publication or otherwise, through no fault of such party. The parties shall take all necessary and appropriate steps in order to ensure that its employees and subcontractors adhere to the provisions of this section. All Confidential Information shall be returned to the disclosing party or destroyed upon receipt by the receiving party of a written request from the disclosing party.
5.4 Personal Information. To the extent that either party transmits or receives personal information under this Agreement, such party shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations regarding privacy and the lawful processing of personal information. To the extent that personal data obtained by Licensee under this Agreement is subject to the E.U. General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), each party agrees that it is a “controller” with respect to such data as defined in the GDPR and agrees to comply with all applicable provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Licensee shall not use any information subject to the GDPR unless it is for a purpose that constitutes a “legitimate interest” (including direct marketing) as defined in the GDPR, or Licensee has another lawful basis to process such information. Within the Datanyze Technology, Datanyze may publish a list of persons who have requested that their personal information be removed from Datanyze’s database. Licensee agrees to review such list on a regular basis (no less frequently than once per month) and to remove from its possession any Licensed Materials Contact records relating to such persons in its possession, unless Licensee has established an independent lawful basis to process such person’s personal information. To the extent that any Services may involve Datanyze receiving personal data from Licensee that is subject to the UK/EU GDPR, the attached Appendix A shall set out the status and responsibilities of the parties in relation to such personal data. To the extent that any Services may involve Licensee receiving personal data from Datanyze that is subject to the UK/EU GDPR, the attached Controller-to-Controller Data Processing Addendum attached as Appendix B shall set out the status and responsibilities of the parties in relation to such personal data.
5.5 Related Information. Datanyze may access, collect, and use any information from or relating to Licensee and Licensee’s use of the Services (“Related Information”) for customer and technical support, for regulatory and third party compliance purposes, to protect and enforce Datanyze’s rights, to monitor compliance with and investigate potential breaches of the terms of this Agreement, and to recommend additional products or services to Licensee. Datanyze may share this information with Datanyze’s partners or affiliates for the same purposes. Licensee grants Datanyze and Datanyze affiliates the perpetual right to use Related Information and any feedback provided by Licensee for purposes such as to test, develop, improve, and enhance Datanyze’s products and services, and to create and own derivative works based on Related Information and feedback, so long as neither Licensee, Authorized User nor any other individual is identifiable as the source of such information.
5.6 Licensee Data. Licensee is solely responsible for all data, graphics, images, files, information, text, voice content, recordings, and other content and materials that are collected, uploaded, posted, delivered, provided, or otherwise transmitted or stored by Licensee in connection with Licensee’s use of the Services (collectively, “Licensee Data”), and Licensee represents and warrants that it has all rights necessary to grant the licenses herein without violation of any third party rights, including without limitation, any privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademarks, contract rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights. Licensee shall be solely responsible for making any required notices (including without limitation any privacy notices required by applicable local, state, federal, and international laws and regulations) and for obtaining any required consents sufficient to authorize Datanyze’s performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights as set forth in this Agreement.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
6.1 Each party represents and warrants that: (1) it is duly organized and validly existing and authorized to do business in the jurisdictions where it operates; and (2) it has the requisite power and authority to enter this Agreement and entering and complying with its obligations under this Agreement does not violate any legal obligation by which such party is bound.
6.2 Licensee represents and warrants, and covenants that it will not, in connection with this Agreement, including its use of or access to the Services, engage in, encourage, or permit conduct that violates or would violate any applicable law, rule, or regulation or any right of any third party.
7. REMEDIES
7.1 Remedies not Exclusive. No remedy provided in this Agreement shall be deemed exclusive of any other remedy that a party may have at law or in equity unless it is expressly stated herein that such remedy is exclusive.
7.2 Provisional Remedies. Each party recognizes that the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information or, as to Licensee, Licensed Materials, may cause irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages may be insufficient, and in the event of such disclosure, such other party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, temporary restraining order, or other provisional remedy as appropriate without being required to post bond or other security.
7.3 Liquidated Damages. Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Materials are for its own use only, and that the disclosure to a third party of a list of Licensed Materials Contacts will cause damage to Datanyze in an amount that is difficult to quantify. In order to avoid the time and expense of quantifying damages, if Licensee, negligently or intentionally, discloses a list of Licensed Materials Contacts to a third party or permits a third party to access any Licensed Materials Contact records through use of login credentials to Datanyze Technology issued to any Authorized User, Datanyze shall be entitled to damages from Licensee in the liquidated amount equal to $2.00 per Licensed Materials Contact record that is so disclosed or made available.
8. ATTORNEY FEES, DISPUTE RESOLUTION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER
8.1 Attorney Fees. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in endeavoring to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including reasonable attorney fees.

Except for Litigation Claims (defined below), any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation (1) claims relating to the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, (2) claims alleging tortious conduct (including negligence) in connection with the negotiation, execution, or performance thereof, or (3) the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be settled by arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules or pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration shall be heard by a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in Seattle, Washington. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This section shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedy provided under applicable law, except that the arbitrator shall have no power to award: (1) punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages under any legal theory; (2) mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, except for temporary relief in aid of the arbitration or to secure the payment of an award; or (3) any damages in excess of the limits set forth in this section or Section 10 (Limitation of Liability) of this Agreement.
8.3 Class Action Waiver. No party shall commence or seek to prosecute or defend any dispute, controversy, or claim based on any legal theory arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, other than on an individual, non-class, non-collective action basis. No party shall seek to prosecute or defend any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, in a representative or private attorney general capacity. The arbitrator shall not have the power to consolidate any arbitration under this Agreement with any other arbitration, absent agreement of all parties involved, or otherwise to deal with any matter on a non-individual, class, collective, representative, or private attorney general basis.
8.4 Litigation Claims. The following claims (“Litigation Claims”) shall be litigated and not arbitrated: (a) claims against a party to this Agreement under the provisions involving claims by third parties; (b) claims by a party for the unauthorized use, or the misuse, by the other party of the first party’s intellectual property or confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information; (c) claims by Datanyze to collect Subscription Fees; and (d) claims for a provisional remedy (such as a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) in aid of an arbitration under this Agreement. The Litigation Claims are not subject to arbitration and are expressly excluded by the parties from arbitration.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Datanyze and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, partners, successors, and permitted assigns from and against any and all actual or threatened claims of third parties arising out of or in connection with (1) Licensee’s access or use of the Licensed Materials in violation of any law, (2) Licensee’s violation of any provision of this Agreement, (3) Licensee’s sending of any information, messages, or materials to any Licensed Materials Contact (including, but not limited to, through e-mail, mail, or fax) in violation of any law or the rights of any third party, or (4) the use of any Licensed Materials or Datanyze Technology by any third party to whom Licensee has granted access (including access obtained through use of the usernames and passwords assigned to Licensee and its personnel).
9.2 Datanyze shall indemnify Licensee for any damages finally awarded by any court of competent jurisdiction against Licensee in, or for amounts paid by Licensee under a settlement approved by Datanyze in writing of, any legal proceeding brought by a third party alleging that the Licensed Materials or Datanyze Technology infringes upon or violates the intellectual property rights of any such third party.
9.3 As a condition to any right to indemnification under this agreement, the indemnified party must (a) promptly give the indemnifying party written notice of the claim or proceeding, (b) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim or proceeding (except that the indemnifying party may not settle any claim or proceeding unless it unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability), and (c) give the indemnifying party all reasonable assistance, at the indemnifying party’s expense. This section states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any claim or proceeding subject to indemnification hereunder.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT FOR INSTANCES OF A PARTY’S OR ITS AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLE, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR LOST PROFITS DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. LICENSEE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY UNCURED BREACH BY DATANYZE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATION BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO DATANYZE, AND REFUND OF A PRORATED PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES THAT LICENSEE HAS PAID. DATANYZE’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO LICENSEE SHALL BE THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID TO DATANYZE BY LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LICENSEE’S CAUSE OF ACTION.
11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES STATED HEREIN, THE LICENSED MATERIALS, DATANYZE TECHNOLOGY, AND ANY OTHER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED (EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW), OR STATUTORY, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE OR PASS ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF THE OTHER PARTY TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

(i) where it has obtained the data subject’s prior consent;
(ii) where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the context of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings; or
(iii) where necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
8.2 Transparency
(a) In order to enable data subjects to effectively exercise their rights pursuant to Clause 10, the data importer shall inform them, either directly or through the data exporter:

(b) Paragraph (a) shall not apply where the data subject already has the information, including when such information has already been provided by the data exporter, or providing the information proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort for the data importer. In the latter case, the data importer shall, to the extent possible, make the information publicly available.
(c) On request, the Parties shall make a copy of these Clauses, including the Appendix as completed by them, available to the data subject free of charge. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including personal data, the Parties may redact part of the text of the Appendix prior to sharing a copy, but shall provide a meaningful summary where the data subject would otherwise not be able to understand its content or exercise his/her rights. On request, the Parties shall provide the data subject with the reasons for the redactions, to the extent possible without revealing the redacted information.
(d) Paragraphs (a) to (c) are without prejudice to the obligations of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

(b) If one of the Parties becomes aware that the personal data it has transferred or received is inaccurate, or has become outdated, it shall inform the other Party without undue delay.
(c) The data importer shall ensure that the personal data is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose(s) of processing.
8.4 Storage limitation
The data importer shall retain the personal data for no longer than necessary for the purpose(s) for which it is processed. It shall put in place appropriate technical or organisational measures to ensure compliance with this obligation, including erasure or anonymisation () of the data and all back-ups at the end of the retention period.
8.5 Security of processing
(a) The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the personal data, including protection against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access (hereinafter ‘personal data breach’). In assessing the appropriate level of security, they shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subject. The Parties shall in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner.
(b) The Parties have agreed on the technical and organisational measures set out in Annex II. The data importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure that these measures continue to provide an appropriate level of security.
(c) The data importer shall ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
(d) In the event of a personal data breach concerning personal data processed by the data importer under these Clauses, the data importer shall take appropriate measures to address the personal data breach, including measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.

(f) In case of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the data importer shall also notify without undue delay the data subjects concerned of the personal data breach and its nature, if necessary in cooperation with the data exporter, together with the information referred to in paragraph (e), points ii) to iv), unless the data importer has implemented measures to significantly reduce the risk to the rights or freedoms of natural persons, or notification would involve disproportionate efforts. In the latter case, the data importer shall instead issue a public communication or take a similar measure to inform the public of the personal data breach.
(g) The data importer shall document all relevant facts relating to the personal data breach, including its effects and any remedial action taken, and keep a record thereof.
8.6 Sensitive data
Where the transfer involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or data relating to criminal convictions or offences (hereinafter ‘sensitive data’), the data importer shall apply specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards adapted to the specific nature of the data and the risks involved.

(ii) the third party otherwise ensures appropriate safeguards pursuant to Articles 46 or 47 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 with respect to the processing in question;
(iii) the third party enters into a binding instrument with the data importer ensuring the same level of data protection as under these Clauses, and the data importer provides a copy of these safeguards to the data exporter;
(iv) it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the context of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings;
(v) it is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person; or
(vi) where none of the other conditions apply, the data importer has obtained the explicit consent of the data subject for an onward transfer in a specific situation, after having informed him/her of its purpose(s), the identity of the recipient and the possible risks of such transfer to him/her due to the lack of appropriate data protection safeguards. In this case, the data importer shall inform the data exporter and, at the request of the latter, shall transmit to it a copy of the information provided to the data subject.

(a) The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of the objectives listed in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
(b) The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in particular of the following elements:
(i) the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
(ii) the laws and practices of the third country of destination– including those requiring the disclosure of data to public authorities or authorising access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards ();
(iii) any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the country of destination.
(c) The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it will continue to cooperate with the data exporter in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
(d) The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(e) The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and for the duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of the third country or a measure (such as a disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in practice that is not in line with the requirements in paragraph (a).
(f) Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe that the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data exporter and/or data importer to address the situation. The data exporter shall suspend the data transfer if it considers that no appropriate safeguards for such transfer can be ensured, or if instructed by the competent supervisory authority to do so. In this case, the data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses. If the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise. Where the contract is terminated pursuant to this Clause, Clause 16(d) and (e) shall apply.
Clause 15
Obligations of the data importer in case of access by public authorities
15.1 Notification
(a) The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly (if necessary with the help of the data exporter) if it:
(i) receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the country of destination for the disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses; such notification shall include information about the personal data requested, the requesting authority, the legal basis for the request and the response provided; or
(ii) becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities to personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses in accordance with the laws of the country of destination; such notification shall include all information available to the importer.
(b) If the data importer is prohibited from notifying the data exporter and/or the data subject under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of the prohibition, with a view to communicating as much information as possible, as soon as possible. The data importer agrees to document its best efforts in order to be able to demonstrate them on request of the data exporter.
(c) Where permissible under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to provide the data exporter, at regular intervals for the duration of the contract, with as much relevant information as possible on the requests received (in particular, number of requests, type of data requested, requesting authority/ies, whether requests have been challenged and the outcome of such challenges, etc.).
(d) The data importer agrees to preserve the information pursuant to paragraphs (a) to (c) for the duration of the contract and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(e) Paragraphs (a) to (c) are without prejudice to the obligation of the data importer pursuant to Clause 14(e) and Clause 16 to inform the data exporter promptly where it is unable to comply with these Clauses.
15.2 Review of legality and data minimisation
(a) The data importer agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it remains within the powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after careful assessment, it concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful under the laws of the country of destination, applicable obligations under international law and principles of international comity. The data importer shall, under the same conditions, pursue possibilities of appeal. When challenging a request, the data importer shall seek interim measures with a view to suspending the effects of the request until the competent judicial authority has decided on its merits. It shall not disclose the personal data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules. These requirements are without prejudice to the obligations of the data importer under Clause 14(e).
(b) The data importer agrees to document its legal assessment and any challenge to the request for disclosure and, to the extent permissible under the laws of the country of destination, make the documentation available to the data exporter. It shall also make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(c) The data importer agrees to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request for disclosure, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request.
SECTION IV – FINAL PROVISIONS
Clause 16
Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination
(a) The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever reason.
(b) In the event that the data importer is in breach of these Clauses or unable to comply with these Clauses, the data exporter shall suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until compliance is again ensured or the contract is terminated. This is without prejudice to Clause 14(f).
(c) The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses, where:
(i) the data exporter has suspended the transfer of personal data to the data importer pursuant to paragraph (b) and compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of suspension;
(ii) the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or
(iii) the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority regarding its obligations under these Clauses.
In these cases, it shall inform the competent supervisory authority of such non-compliance. Where the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise.
(d) Personal data that has been transferred prior to the termination of the contract pursuant to paragraph (c) shall at the choice of the data exporter immediately be returned to the data exporter or deleted in its entirety. The same shall apply to any copies of the data. The data importer shall certify the deletion of the data to the data exporter. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit the return or deletion of the transferred personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process the data to the extent and for as long as required under that local law.
(e) Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound by these Clauses where (i) the European Commission adopts a decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the transfer of personal data to which these Clauses apply; or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the personal data is transferred. This is without prejudice to other obligations applying to the processing in question under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Clause 17
Governing law
These Clauses shall be governed by the law of one of the EU Member States, provided such law allows for third-party beneficiary rights. The Parties agree that this shall be the law of Ireland.
Clause 18
Choice of forum and jurisdiction
(a) Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of an EU Member State.
(b) The Parties agree that those shall be the courts of Ireland.
(c) A data subject may also bring legal proceedings against the data exporter and/or data importer before the courts of the Member State in which he/she has his/her habitual residence.
(d) The Parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of such courts.
