Supplier represents and warrants that the security measures it takes in performance of its obligations under this Agreement are, and will at all times remain, at the highest of the following (collectively referred to herein as “Security Best Practices”): (i) Privacy & IT Security Best Practices (as defined by ISO 27001); (ii) the security requirements, standards, obligations, specifications and event reporting procedures in this Agreement, including as set forth in this Attachment and any Statement of Work; (iii) to the extent applicable, Payment Card Industry standards or VISA, MasterCard, and any other credit card network bylaws and operating regulations, and federal and state laws and regulations relating to credit card processing (collectively, “PCI Standards”); and (iv) any security requirements, standards, obligations, specifications and/or event reporting procedures required by any Data Law.

Any notifications to Customers of security breaches involving American’s Confidential Information will be handled exclusively by American and Supplier may not under any circumstances contact Customers relating to such security breach.

 

(b) PCI Compliance. To the extent PCI Standards apply to any product, service or system provided by Supplier pursuant to this Agreement, Supplier shall (i) annually and at such other times as American may from time to time request provide American a certification of compliance with PCI Standards in the relevant capacity (e.g., as a “Payment Application and Service Supplier to Merchant”), (ii) maintain such compliance with respect to any version of such Supplier product, service or system used by American or any Affiliate throughout the term of the Agreement or any relevant license granted by Supplier under the Agreement, and (iii) not charge American or any Affiliate any fee or other amount with respect to such compliance or certification thereof.

 

(c) Security Reviews. American (or its designated representatives) may, no more than * basis conduct an audit to verify that Supplier is operating in accordance with Security Best Practices. In the event American utilizes a third party for any or all of the security audit, the parties will mutually agree on the third party auditor and such approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Any American personnel or approved American third party auditor onsite at Supplier’s locations will be subject to Supplier’s then-current facility and security policies. The audit may include a review of all aspects of Supplier’s performance, including, but not limited to: *.

* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


Supplier will cooperate with American in conducting any such audit, and will allow American reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to all pertinent records, documentation, computer systems, Data, personnel and processing areas as American reasonably requests to complete the audit. American will take reasonable steps to prevent the audit from materially impacting Supplier’s operations. Supplier shall correct any deviations from Security Best Practices that are identified in any security audit as soon as practicable using commercially reasonable efforts after receiving notice from American outlining any deviations.

 

(d) Remediation Efforts. Following any Security Incident, Supplier and American will consult in good faith regarding Remediation Efforts that may be necessary and reasonable and will mutually agree as to the exact Remediation Efforts to be undertaken by each Party provided that such agreement must comply with the requirements of Section 2(a) above.

3. Proprietary Rights.

 

(a) Ownership of Data. As between American and Supplier, all right, title, and interest in and to any American Data, including IP Rights to American Data, will be solely owned by American. American Data shall be subject to the terms and restrictions in this Agreement, including as set forth in this Attachment. Nothing in this Agreement conveys any rights or interest in the American Data to Supplier. Except for the Permitted Uses, Supplier may not edit, modify, create derivatives, combinations or compilations of, combine, associate, synthesize, reverse engineer, reproduce, display, distribute, disclose, or otherwise Process American Data.

 

(b) Assignment. Supplier hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, and will cause Supplier’s subcontractors and agents to assign, transfer and convey, to American, without any requirement of further consideration, all of its and their right, title and interest in, to and under American’s Confidential Information. Upon request by American, Supplier shall execute and deliver, and shall cause Supplier’s agents and subcontractors to execute and deliver, any documents that may be necessary or desirable under any law to perfect, protect, preserve, or enable American to enforce, its rights with respect to American’s Confidential Information.

 

4. Confidentiality Obligations.

 

(a) Treatment and Protection. Each Party shall (i) hold in strict confidence all Confidential Information of the other Party using the same safeguards as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of comparable value or sensitivity, but in any event safeguards that meet or exceed Security Best Practices, (ii) use the Confidential Information solely to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, (iii) not transfer, display or otherwise disclose or make available such Confidential Information to any third party, other than the receiving Party’s directors, officers, employees or agents to the extent such persons are bound by equivalent confidentiality commitments and use restrictions and have a legitimate need to know the Confidential Information in order for the receiving Party to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement.

 

(b) Segregation and Processing of American Data. Supplier will logically segregate American’s Confidential Information from other Data and will not disclose any of American’s Confidential Information to any third party except in connection with, and to the minimum extent required for the Permitted Uses. This segregation includes all records containing American’s Confidential Information, which must be Processed in accordance with Security Best Practices. Failure to implement appropriate procedures to segregate American’s Confidential Information will be considered a material breach of this Agreement and a Security Incident. In addition, the unauthorized Processing of American Data will be considered a material breach of this Agreement and a Security Incident.

* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


(c) Exclusions. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information that is: (i) in the public domain other than due to a breach by the receiving Party or any other person or entity of a contractual commitment or other duty to the disclosing Party; (ii) known to the receiving Party prior to its receipt from the disclosing Party or obtained by the receiving Party outside the scope of this Agreement from a third party that has no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party, in each case without breaching this Agreement; or (iii) independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party. However, Personal Identifying Information within American Data shall always be treated as Confidential Information of American and shall not be subject to the exclusions contained in this provision.

 

(d) Disclosures Required by Law. The receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party in response to a valid court order, law, rule, regulation (including any securities exchange regulation), or other governmental action, provided that, (i) the disclosing Party is notified in writing reasonably in advance of the disclosure of the information, and (ii) the receiving Party assists the disclosing Party, at the disclosing Party’s expense, in any lawful attempt by the other to limit or prevent the disclosure of the Confidential Information. In the event that the disclosure relates to Personal Identifying Information within American Data, the Supplier agrees to immediately notify American of any action or communication that may lead to Supplier being required to disclose such Data and to the greatest extent possible American will control and manage any such response, but in no event will Supplier be required to allow American to control or manage such response in a way that will cause Supplier to breach its obligations under applicable law or governmental regulations.

 

(e) Remedies Upon Breach. Each Party (in addition to any legal or other remedies available to such Party) may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or remedy a breach or threatened breach of this Section and each Party agrees not to object or defend against such action on the basis that monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

 

(f) Return or Destruction. Upon the request of the disclosing Party at the termination or expiration of this Agreement or at any other time, the receiving Party shall (i) * (a) promptly return to the disclosing Party all tangible Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) of the disclosing Party in its then-current format, or (b) at the written direction of the disclosing Party, destroy such Confidential Information and provide the disclosing Party with written certification of such destruction, and (ii) cease all further use of the other Party’s Confidential Information, whether in tangible or intangible form, subject American’s right to use the System (including any escrowed software or materials) pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(g) Personal Identifying Information. Supplier shall keep American Data confidential even if it would otherwise fall within the exception described in Section 4(c)(i) of this Attachment. For clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier is not required to keep any information confidential if it is obtained by Supplier from publicly available sources where the information is available without restriction, including, without limitation, through a publicly available website. In addition, each Party agrees that if it discloses Personal Identifying Information to the other Party, it shall satisfy any requirements of applicable Data Law governing such disclosure, including but not limited to any requirement to give notice to or obtain consent of the individual. Each Party also agrees to limit its disclosure of Personal Identifying Information to the other Party in a manner consistent with any posted privacy policy or other representations made to the person to whom the information is identifiable, and to communicate those limitations to the receiving Party. The receiving Party agrees to abide by any such limitations, in addition to the requirements of this Agreement applicable to Confidential Information.
