Licensor does not represent or endorse the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any Insights or other information displayed, uploaded, or distributed through the Services, and Customer understands and agrees that the Services are based on probabilistic assessments and may thus be limited in their accuracy. Except as expressly provided herein, the Services are distributed “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, and Licensor hereby expressly disclaims liability for Customer’s reliance on the Services to perform authentication of any person, entity or transaction. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services constitute standalone fraud prevention services, and that as between Customer and Licensor, Customer is solely responsible for its own decision-making (including when based on Licensor Data, which shall not be the sole determinant of same) and the effects of such decision-making on any and all third parties.  Customer is exclusively responsible for the accuracy, completeness, relevance and integrity of all Personal Data provided to Licensor.

8.       Services Data.

(a)                 As between Licensor and Customer, Customer owns and retains all right, title and interest in and to Customer Data. Customer grants Licensor a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide right and license to store, access, use, copy and create derivative works from the Customer Data. Additionally, Customer acknowledges and agrees that, as between Licensor and Customer, only Licensor may: (i) generate or derive Deidentified Data from Customer Data, and (ii) Process Deidentified Data for Licensor’s business purposes. As between Customer and Licensor, Licensor will own all rights, title, and interest in and to Deidentified Data.

(b)                Customer agrees that Licensor may Process Customer Data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide identity verification and fraud detection services through the Services.  Licensor stores Customer Data in a securely encrypted format for a longer period of time to enable Licensor to bill for the Services, to provide customer service to Customer, and to apply machine learning techniques that help Licensor identify patterns in the data. When Licensor Processes Customer Data to generate and analyze Insights, such data (i) will be pseudonymized through cryptographic hashing, (ii) will be aggregated with data from other customers of the Services, and (iii) will not be made available to any other customer. For clarity, Insights provided to Customer through the Services will not include any identifiers indicating other customers that are the source of Insights. Licensor shall have the right to transfer Customer Data to a Licensor Affiliate(s) as a third party if required for the performance and purposes hereof.

(c)                 As between Licensor and Customer, Licensor owns all right, title and interest in and to the Services and the Licensor Data, and any enhancements or modifications thereto.

Customer grants Licensor and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to analyze and use such Outcome Data solely to improve the fraud prevention capabilities of the Services. Licensor shall not disclose raw Outcome Data, in whole or in part, to any non-Affiliate third party. Customer shall own all rights and title in and to the Outcome Data; provided, that Licensor and its Affiliates shall have the perpetual right to use Insights derived from the Outcome Data within the Services. Customer shall provide Outcome Data to Licensor in a mutually agreed upon form, content, and method of transfer. Customer shall provide Outcome Data for each fraudulent transaction for which Customer used the Licensor Data, and such Outcome Data shall consist of at least one of the following sets of data elements: (a) outcome and transaction ID; or (b) outcome and unique customer identifier (i.e., phone and time/data stamp). Although Customer will provide the Outcome Data in a careful and workmanlike manner, Customer makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the Outcome Data.

Any use of the Services in breach of this Agreement by Customer, or its Affiliates, may result in Licensor’s immediate suspension of the Services. 

(b)             Customer will not collect, provide or make available to Licensor any Customer Data that is not collected or stored in accordance with applicable law and Customer’s privacy policy (or the privacy policy of Customer’s customers, if applicable). Customer represents and warrants that Customer will provide Data Subjects with all notices and obtain from them all rights and consents necessary for the provision of such data to Licensor, the Processing of such data by or on behalf of Licensor, and Customer’s use of Licensor Data pursuant to this Agreement, and Customer agrees to provide proof of same to Licensor upon request. As between Customer and Licensor, Customer is solely responsible for providing such notice and obtaining such consent. Customer also confirms and warrants that it will inform Data Subjects in particular of the transfer and storage by Licensor of their Personal Data outside the country in which it was collected (e.g., transfer to and storage in the United States), the ways in which their Personal Data will be Processed by Customer and Licensor, the reasons for such collection and Processing, and any other information required by applicable Privacy and Data Protection Law.

(c)              Customer will ensure that its privacy policy is readily accessible to anyone from or about whom Customer collects data and, if required by applicable law, Customer will provide those Data Subjects with the ability to exercise rights applicable to their Personal Information under applicable Privacy and Data Protection Law, such as opting out of disclosure of their Personal Information by Customer.

(d)             Customer represents and warrants that it shall conduct and review any relevant assessments (including security or privacy impact assessments) as may be required by applicable Privacy and Data Protection Law for purposes of implementing the Services, and any cross-border transfers of Personal Data.

(e)              Except to the extent prohibited by applicable legal, regulatory or law enforcement requirements, Customer shall promptly inform Licensor in writing if any competent authority, regulator or public authority of any jurisdiction requests disclosure of, or information about, Personal Data that has been Processed in connection with the Services. Customer shall, without limiting its rights under applicable law, cooperate with Licensor as reasonably necessary to comply with any direction or ruling made by such authorities.

(f)               Customer will not: (i) make any Services available to anyone other than Customer, its Affiliates, and Users; (ii) use the Services for the benefit of anyone other than Customer or its Affiliates; (iii) falsify or alter any unique identifier assigned to Customer, or otherwise obscure or alter the source of queries to the Services; (iv) permit direct or indirect access to or use of any Services in a way that circumvents any usage limits; (v) reproduce, modify, distribute, disassemble, reverse engineer or create derivative works based on any portion of the Services; (vi) violate or attempt to violate the security of the Services, or introduce any malicious code into the Services; (vii) use the Services to build a competitive product or service or in any way not permitted by this Agreement; or (viii) submit Customer Data to the Services that contain any information deemed “sensitive” under applicable law (including, without limitation, government identification numbers, financial account information, or information related to children).

(g)             Customer will only use the Services as permitted by the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws. In particular, Customer will use the Licensor Data for identity verification and fraud detection and prevention use cases only, and will not: (i) use the Licensor Data for marketing purposes; (ii) use the Licensor Data in violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation or in violation of any third-party right; (iii) store the Licensor Data for purposes other than those expressly permitted hereunder; (iv) use the Licensor Data in conjunction with illicit activities; (v) store or cache the Licensor Data to avoid making additional queries to the Services; (vi) merge stored Licensor Data with other data unless it is coded or tagged to indicate Licensor as its source; (vii) use the Licensor Data for file download in a fixed page format (i.e., create a printable, downloadable directory of Personal Data); or (viii) use the Services to access Personal Data other than the Personal Data of the individual(s) for whom identity verification and fraud prevention is being conducted (i.e., intentionally accessing the Personal Data of related individuals for a purpose other than fraud prevention).

(h)             Customer acknowledges that the Services are not provided by a “consumer reporting agency” as that term is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and the Licensor Data do not constitute “consumer reports” as defined in the FCRA. Accordingly, the Licensor Data may not be used as a factor in determining eligibility for credit, insurance, employment or any other purpose in which a consumer report may be used under the FCRA (or any similar consumer credit law in the United States of America or otherwise).  For the avoidance of doubt, Customer agrees that it shall not use the Services to assess, determine or verify the creditworthiness of any individual(s). 

(i)               Customer acknowledges that the Services (i) are only one component of a range of risk management activities that Customer undertakes; (ii) are services that Customer cannot undertake itself; and (iii) do not affect or replace a critical operation of Customer or expose Customer to a material operational risk (i.e., without limitation, weakness or failure of the Services will not prevent Customer from operating or meeting its regulatory obligations). Licensor shall not have, and hereby disclaims, any and all liability that Customer may face as a result of Customer’s non-compliance with regulatory obligations relating to outsourcing.

10.    Confirmation of Compliance. If Licensor has knowledge or a reasonable suspicion of Customer’s or Customer’s Affiliates’ non-compliance with this Agreement, Licensor (or its authorized representative) may request information from Customer to confirm Customer’s or Customer’s Affiliates’ compliance. This information may include, but is not limited to, architecture and data flow diagrams, copies of processing logs, and interviews with relevant engineers and stakeholders.  Customer will promptly, but in no fewer than ten (10) business days, provide Licensor with all information it reasonably requests, and will make available via telephone or video conferencing appropriate personnel responsive to these requests. Licensor will take reasonable measures to ensure that its requests do not unreasonably disrupt Customer’s business operations. Each Party will bear its own costs with respect to any informational requests conducted hereunder.

11.    Confidentiality.

(a)   Definition. The term “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by one Party (“Discloser”) to the other Party (“Recipient”) (in writing, orally, or in any other form) that is identified at the time of disclosure as confidential or should have reasonably been known by the Recipient to be confidential (including, without limitation, trade secrets and unpublished patent applications, and for Licensor, the Licensor Intellectual Property or any data and information contained therein), together with any documents prepared by the Recipient that contain, otherwise reflect, or, in whole or in part, are generated from such disclosed information. Confidential Information does not include information or material that (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, publicly known or available; (ii) is or was known by the Recipient at or before the time such information or material was received from the Discloser, as evidenced by Recipient’s tangible (including written or electronic) records; (iii) is furnished to the Recipient by a third party that is not under an obligation of confidentiality to the Discloser with respect to such information or material; or (iv) is independently developed by the Recipient or on behalf of the Recipient without any use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information.

(b)   Protection and Use. During the Term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, each Party shall take all reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information in a manner that is at least as protective as the measures that it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but not less than a reasonable standard. Each Recipient shall hold the other Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose, copy, reproduce, sell, assign, license, market, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such information, or give or disclose such information to third parties, or use such information for any purpose other than as necessary to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under these Terms of Service and the Documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information (i) to employees, consultants, and subcontractors that have a need to know such information, provided that the Recipient shall advise each such employee and consultant of their obligations to keep such information confidential; and (ii) to the extent that Recipient is legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information pursuant to a subpoena or the order of any governmental authority; provide that, where possible and permitted by applicable law, the Recipient shall give advance notice of such compelled disclosure to the Discloser, and shall cooperate with the Discloser in connection with these efforts to prevent or limit the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information. Licensor shall ensure that its employees, agents, subcontractors, and sub-processors are subject to a duty of confidentiality with respect to Personal Data provided by Customer.

(c)   Return of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise stated in the Documentation, upon termination of the Agreement, the Recipient shall securely destroy all Confidential Information in the Recipient’s possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient is not obligated to destroy Confidential Information (i) commingled with other information of the Recipient if it would be a substantial administrative burden to excise such Confidential Information; (ii) contained in an archived computer system backup made in accordance with the Recipient’s security or disaster recovery procedures; or (iii) required to be retained pursuant to applicable law, regulatory requirements, or post-termination obligations as stated in the Documentation, provided in each case that such Confidential Information remains subject to the obligations of confidentiality herein until its eventual destruction.
