If the Receiving Party is required by applicable laws, regulations and rules (“Applicable Laws”) or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall, prior to making such disclosure, notify Disclosing Party of such requirements, to the extent that notice to Disclosing Party is legally permissible, to afford Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek, at Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy. For purposes of this Section 6 only, Receiving Party’s group shall mean the Receiving Party’s employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors.

    1. In connection with the Services and the provision of Third-Party Financial Products and Payment Processing Services, Customer may provide to JustiFi information relating to Customer’s customers (“Merchants”) who have a relationship with JustiFi in order for JustiFi to provide services to such Merchants, for the Bank to provide the Payment Processing Services to such Merchants and for Financial Partners to provide Third-Party Financial Products to such Merchants (such information, “Merchant Data”). Merchant Data also includes “Personal Information”, which means information that Merchants (directly or through Customer) discloses or for which JustiFi accesses in connection with services provided to Merchants, or information which JustiFi creates or collects on behalf of Merchants, in connection with this Agreement that (i) directly or indirectly identifies an individual, (ii) can be used to authenticate an individual and/or (iii) is defined as “personal informatio” or “personal data” under Applicable Laws (including U.S. Privacy Laws).
    2. JustiFi may share Merchant Data with Third-Party Providers in connection with the provision of the Payment Processing Services, Third-Party Financial Products or any other services provided to Merchant (or as otherwise permitted by the privacy policy by and between JustiFi and Merchant), and Customer shall ensure it has obtained all consents required by Applicable Law in order for JustiFi to do so. JustiFi’s privacy policy may be accessed here. JustiFi may aggregate, de-identify, or anonymize Merchant Data and use such aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data, which shall no longer be considered Merchant Data or Personal Information, for its own research, analysis, and development purposes, including enhancements and improvements to the Services.
    3. Customer consents to the creation, collection, receipt, access, use, storage, disposal, disclosure and other processing of Merchant Data for the purpose of the provision of the Services.
    4. Customer will: (i) be responsible for any unauthorized creation, collection, receipt, transmission, access, storage, disposal, use, disclosure or other processing of Merchant Data under its control or in its possession; (ii) comply with any Applicable Laws (including, as applicable, U.S. Privacy Laws) and use only secure methods, accordingly to accepted industry standards, when transferring or otherwise making available Merchant Data to JustiFi; and (iii) treat JustiFi’s Information Security Policy (as defined below) as Confidential Information.
    5. Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained all consents, approvals, authorizations of and provided all necessary notices to, Merchants or other parties in connection with the collection, sharing, utilization and other processing of Merchant Data and other information provided, whether directly or indirectly, to JustiFi for the purposes of provisioning of services contemplated under this Agreement (including Payment Processing Services and Third-Party Financial Products) to Merchant. Further, Customer agrees to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information to JustiFi and applicable Third-Party Providers. Customer shall not provide any information that is unlawful, invasive of another’s privacy, or that infringes the rights of others and if Customer determines the processing of Merchant Data under this Agreement does not or will not comply with Applicable Laws (including U.S. Privacy Laws), it will notify JustiFi with undue delay, and, JustiFi shall not be required to continue processing such Merchant Data.
  8. Information Security.
    1. Each Party will employ reasonable security measures to protect Merchant Data in accordance with its information security policy and U.S. Privacy Laws (“Information Security Policy”). The Information Security Policy shall be consistent with accepted industry standards applicable for information security.
    2. If, in the course of its performance of the services contemplated under this Agreement, JustiFi has access to or will collect, access, use, store, dispose of, disclose or otherwise process Cardholder Data (as defined by PCI DSS) on Customer’s behalf, JustiFi will comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, as applicable. Customer will not obtain any Cardholder Data on behalf of Merchant or JustiFi.
  9. Data Breach Procedures.
    1. Each Party maintains a cyber incident breach response plan in accordance with accepted industry standards (“Incident Response Plan”) and will implement the procedures required under such plan on the occurrence of a Data Breach. For purposes of this Agreement, “Data Breach” means any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized access to or disclosure of, Merchant Data.
    2. Customer will notify JustiFi of a Data Breach as soon as reasonably practicable after Customer becomes aware of it but no more than 72 hours thereafter.
    3. Following Customer’s notification to JustiFi of a Data Breach, the Parties will coordinate with each other, as necessary, to investigate the Data Breach in accordance with JustiFi’s current Cyber Incident Response Plan.

  11. U.S. Privacy Laws.
    1. ”U.S. Privacy Laws” shall mean, as applicable, California Consumer Privacy Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act or similar U.S. state privacy laws. Personal Information is subject to such U.S. Privacy Laws, and the disclosure of such data would be a “sale” under U.S. Privacy Laws. Customer will be considered a “service provider” or “processor” under U.S. Privacy Laws and Customer shall:
      1. Process Merchant Data in compliance with U.S. Privacy Laws, including providing the same level of privacy protection as is required by U.S. Privacy Laws, and notify JustiFi if Customer makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligations under U.S. Privacy Laws. Upon reasonable written notice that JustiFi reasonably believes Customer is using Merchant Data in violation of U.S. Privacy Laws or this Agreement, each Party shall take reasonable and appropriate steps to help ensure that Customer uses the Merchant Data in a manner consistent with JustiFi’s obligations under U.S. Privacy Laws and stop and remediate any unauthorized use of the Merchant Data.
      2. Not “sell” or “share” Merchant Data, nor retain, use or disclose the Merchant Data outside the direct business relationship with JustiFi or for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the obligations hereunder, or as otherwise set out in this Agreement.
      3. Except to perform a business purpose or as otherwise permitted by U.S. Privacy Laws, not combine the Merchant Data received from, or on behalf of, JustiFi with any Personal Information that may be collected from Customer’s separate interactions with the individual(s) to whom the Merchant Data relates or from any other sources.
      4. Ensure that each employee or other person processing Merchant Data is subject to a duty of confidentiality with respect to such Merchant Data, and only engage subcontractors to process Merchant Data on its behalf after providing JustiFi with an opportunity to object and pursuant to a written contract that requires the subcontractor to materially comply with Customer’s obligations in this section.
      5. Taking into account the nature of the processing, reasonably assist JustiFi through appropriate technical and organizational measures in (A) responding to requests from individuals pursuant to their rights under U.S. Privacy Laws, including by providing, deleting or correcting the relevant Merchant Data, or by enabling JustiFi to do the same, (B) implementing reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the Merchant Data to protect the Merchant Data from unauthorized or illegal access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure, and (C) entering into this Agreement.
      6. With JustiFi, and taking into account the context of the processing, implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk and establish a clear allocation of the responsibilities between them to implement such measures.
      7. Upon reasonable request of JustiFi, make available to JustiFi all information in its possession necessary to demonstrate Customer’s compliance with its obligations under U.S. Privacy Laws, including by providing reports of the reviews and audits referred to in this Agreement.
      8. At JustiFi written direction, delete or return Merchant Data to JustiFi as at the end of the provision of the Service, unless retention is required by Applicable Law (including U.S. Privacy Laws) or the Agreement.
  12. Delays and Unavailability of Offerings. JustiFi cannot foresee technical or other difficulties that may arising during the course of performance of the services, which may result in the loss of data or other interruptions to the Services. JustiFi does not assume responsibility for any errors, delays, damages, or costs of any type arising out of Customer’s use of the Services.
  13. Use of Plaid Services. As part of utilizing the Services, Customer consents to use a service offered by Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that Plaid’s Privacy Policy will govern Plaid’s use of information it collects about Customer or Merchant or that Customer provides to Plaid, and Customer expressly agrees to the terms and conditions of Plaid’s Privacy Policy and its Terms and Conditions, and Customer has obtained Merchant’s consent to such terms. Further Customer expressly grants Plaid the right, power, and authority to access and transmit Customer information as reasonably necessary for Plaid to provide its services to Customer or for Customer to utilize the Data Aggregation Services. To the extent Customer previously utilized account linking and aggregation services through JustiFi or its service providers, Customer expressly authorizes and directs JustiFi and Plaid to transmit any information or data (including any Personal Information) in connection with those services to Plaid so that Plaid and/or JustiFi can offer its respective services, including as set out in this Addendum.
  14. Term, Termination, and Survival.
    1. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for as long as an Addendum is in effect, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 14.2 or 14.3.
    2. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, effective upon written notice to the other Party (the “Defaulting Party“) if the Defaulting Party: (a) breaches this Agreement, and the Defaulting Party does not cure such breach within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such breach, or such breach is incapable of cure; (b) becomes insolvent or admits its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (c) becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law, which is not fully stayed within seven (7) days or is not dismissed or vacated within forty-five (45) days after filing; (d) is dissolved or liquidated or takes any corporate action for such purpose; (e) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (f) has a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business.

    4. The term of each Service subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise set forth in the Order Form, subscriptions for each Service will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless either Party provides written notice to the other at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current subscription term for such Service.
    5. The rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in this 14.5 and in Sections 4, 5, 6, 15, 16, 17, and 19 through 32, and any right or obligation of the Parties in this Agreement which, by its nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive any such termination or expiration of this Agreement.

  17. Indemnification.
    1. JustiFi will indemnify and defend Customer and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents with respect to any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees (“Liabilities”), arising out of any third-party claim that the Services as provided by JustiFi infringe on any intellectual property right of any third party.
