1 Confidentiality. During the Term of this Agreement and subject to the Terms herein, each Party will treat as confidential all Confidential Information of the other Party, will not use such Confidential Information except as expressly set forth herein or as otherwise authorized in writing, will implement reasonable security procedures to prohibit the unauthorized use, disclosure, duplication, or misuse of the other Party’s Confidential Information, and will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except as may be necessary and required in connection with the rights and obligations of such Party under this Agreement, and subject to the confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties will use at least the same procedures and degree of care which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of similar importance to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party under this Agreement, but in no event less than reasonable care.

2 Exclusions. Except as otherwise provided below, Confidential Information shall not include, as applicable, Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through no improper action or inaction by the Receiving Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party or in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to the receipt of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as demonstrated by the Receiving Party’s business records in regular course; (c) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and provided that the Receiving Party can demonstrate such independent development by documented contemporaneous business records; or (e) becomes known to the Receiving Party from a source other than the Disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party’s rights. The exclusions in this section shall not apply to Confidential Information that requires separate protection under applicable laws or regulation, including applicable privacy regulations.

3 Court Order. The Receiving Party may disclose Client Data or End User Data of the other Party pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body provided that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance written notice thereof to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or injunction against such disclosure, unless prohibited from doing so by an applicable court order or of an order with similar effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Accent on Success shall disclose Confidential Information strictly in compliance with its Law Enforcement Policy.

4 Remedies. If either Party breaches any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality or the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder, the other Party shall be entitled to seek equitable or injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies that may be available to such Party.

5 Return. Upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall promptly return or destroy all tangible copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information within ninety (90) days of such request and shall, upon request, confirm such return or destruction to the other Party in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain a copy of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to comply with record management requirements as well as other applicable data retention laws and regulations or internal policies. To the extent that it is impracticable to return or destroy any Confidential Information, and with respect to any copies retained for record management purposes, the Receiving Party shall continue to maintain the Confidential Information in accordance with these Terms.

6 Data Security. Accent on Success will: (a) protect the security and integrity of all Client Data that is collected, accessed, stored or received by Client in connection with Client’s use of the Platform or the provision of Services, including without limitation all End User Data in accordance with its Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference and available; and (b) develop, implement, and maintain a written comprehensive security program (the “Security Program”) with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the Client Data against any unauthorized disclosure or use of such data against reasonably foreseeable threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such Client Data. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Accent on Success shall remain in compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations as provided in the Data Processing Agreement, and shall maintain SSAE 18 SOC 1, Type 2 audit standards or their current equivalent.

7 Security Breach. In the event of unauthorized access to Client Data that affects Client Data and which would require notification to a regulatory authority (“Security Breach”), Accent on Success shall notify Client without undue delay, but no later than seventy-two (72) hours upon its discovery of a Security Breach. In the event of such a Security Breach, Accent on Success will promptly perform an investigation into the breach, take appropriate remedial measures, and provide Client with the name of a Accent on Success security representative who can be reached with security questions or security concerns throughout the scope of Accent on Success’s investigation.

8 End User Notice. If any disclosure, use or breach of any End User Data requires Client, under applicable laws or regulations, to make a disclosure to any Client authorized End User (“End User Data Breach”), Client will be solely responsible for making such disclosure, including determining the content, methods, and means of such disclosure. Accent on Success will reasonably cooperate with Client in formulating the disclosure, but Accent on Success shall not make any such disclosure at its own initiative without Client’s prior consent. To the extent an End User Data Breach is caused by or related to a breach of the Agreement by Accent on Success (or its employees, Subcontractors, Service Providers (as defined in the Data Processing Agreement), representatives or advisors), Accent on Success will pay all reasonable costs and expenses of: (a) such disclosures and notifications (including reasonable legal fees); and (b) any applicable monitoring, and reporting on the impacted individuals’ credit records or restoration of the individuals’ credit or identity for a period of one (1) year, or as otherwise may be required by applicable law.

Indemnification

1 Accent on Success. Accent on Success shall indemnify and defend Client, its successors, subsidiaries and affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, judgments, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, the “Losses”) arising out of or relating to: (a) any third-party claims, demands, or proceedings (a “Claim”) asserting that the Platform, Services, or use thereof (as permitted under this Agreement) infringes or misappropriates any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights; and (b) any End User Data Breach.

2 Limitations. Accent on Success shall not have any liability or indemnification obligations to Client under these Terms to the extent that any Claims arise directly as a result of: (a) use of the Platform or Services by Client or any third party in combination with equipment, materials, products or software not authorized by Accent on Success where the Platform or Services alone would not be infringing; or (b) compliance with instructions provided by Client to Accent on Success.

3 Client. Client shall indemnify and defend Accent on Success, its successors, subsidiaries and affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, judgments, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, the “Losses”) arising out of or relating to Accent on Success’s authorized use of any Client Data.

Client’s termination shall be effective only upon receipt of such outstanding amount, and Client’s failure to remit full payment for such Termination Fee shall suspend such termination until such time as the amount is received in full by Accent on Success. If this Agreement is terminated by Client for convenience prior to the applicable expiration date for any reason other than for bankruptcy or for material breach of Accent on Success’s obligations, the Termination Fee shall be considered as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
