5.4. Your
Company acknowledges that the restrictions in these Terms are reasonable and
necessary to protect our legitimate business interests and that any breach of any
breach of any of the confidentiality, non-use and intellectual property
obligations of the Agreement and/or any infringement, ownership, and
enforceability of any intellectual property right may result in irreparable
injury to us for which money damages may not adequately compensate. If there is
a breach or likely breach, then we shall be entitled, in addition to all other
rights and remedies which we may have at law or in equity, to have a decree of
specific performance or an injunction issued by any competent court requiring
the breach to be cured or enjoining all Persons involved from continuing the
breach. The existence of any claim or
cause of action that Your Company or any other Person may have against us shall
not constitute a defense or bar to the enforcement of any of the provisions of
this Section 5.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party irrevocably: (i)
agrees that the Florida state courts located in the City of Jacksonville,
Florida, Duval County, or the United States District Court for the Middle
District of Florida, sitting in the City of Jacksonville, Florida, shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any of the foregoing claims for injunctive
relief and damages or the breach or validity of this Section 5.4 and consents
to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (ii) agrees that
such courts shall be the proper venue therefor; (iii) waives any defense of
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought;
and (iv) waives the right to trial by jury in any such action or proceeding.
5.5. If
we process any personal data on Your Company’s behalf when performing our
obligations under these Terms, then: (a) Your Company shall be the data
controller and we shall be a data processor; (b) Your Company acknowledges and

where Your Company and the Authorized Users are located (including in the
United States and other locations outside the EEA) in order for us to provide
the System Services and our other obligations under these Terms; (c) Your
Company shall ensure that it is entitled to transfer the relevant personal data
to us so that we may lawfully use, process and transfer the personal data in
accordance with these Terms on Your Company’s behalf; (d) we shall process the
personal data only in accordance with the terms of these Terms; and (e) each
party shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures against
unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data or its accidental
loss, destruction or damage.
5.6. “Confidential
Information” means all business or technical information disclosed by
Disclosing Party to Receiving Party in connection with the Agreement. Your
Company’s Confidential Information consists of Your Company Materials. Provider’s
Confidential Information includes: (i) Provider Property, (ii) Provider’s
Personal Data and (iii) the terms of the Agreement. Except for Personal Data,
neither party shall be obligated to preserve the confidentiality of any
information that: (a) was previously known; (b) is a matter of public
knowledge; (c) was or is independently developed without reference to or use of
the other party’s Confidential Information; (d) is released for disclosure with
the other party’s written consent; or (e) is received from a third party to
whom it was disclosed by the Disclosing Party without restriction. Provider may
use and disclose Your Company’s name and logo as reasonably necessary to
perform any Services. “Personal Data” means any information relating to
an identified or identifiable natural person.
5.7 The
party receiving Confidential Information (“Receiving Party”) of the
other (“Disclosing Party”) shall not use Confidential Information for
any purpose except as necessary to implement, perform or enforce the Agreement.
Receiving Party will use the same reasonable efforts as it uses to protect its
own proprietary information and data (but in any event not less than a
reasonable standard of care) to: (i) keep all Confidential Information of
Disclosing Party strictly confidential; (ii) not disclose the Confidential
Information of Disclosing Party to anyone other than its Authorized Recipients;
and (iii) only use Personal Data as permitted by applicable Laws. Receiving Party will promptly notify
Disclosing Party if Receiving Party discovers any improper use or disclosure of
Confidential Information and will promptly commence all reasonable efforts to
investigate and correct the causes of such improper use or disclosure. “Authorized
Recipient” means: (a) with respect to Your Company, Your Company and any
employee of Your Company, its Affiliate, customer, or agent, provided such
Person is not a competitor of Provider; and (b) with respect to Provider, Provider,
its Affiliates and their respective employees, contractors, customer, or
agents, and in the case of (a) or (b) that has a reasonable need to know the
Confidential Information in connection with the use or provision of the System
Services and who are required to protect and restrict the use of the other
party’s Confidential Information in accordance with terms substantially similar
to the requirements of the Agreement. If Receiving Party believes the
Confidential Information must be disclosed or made publicly available under
applicable Law, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or in response to
a request from a governmental regulator, Receiving Party may do so provided
that, to the extent permitted by such applicable Law, court of competent jurisdiction
or governmental regulator, the Disclosing Party is given a reasonable
opportunity to contest such disclosure and obtain a protective order, and shall
in any event omit all pricing, service level or System Services specific
information from any such disclosure or public filing, unless such omission is
prohibited by Law.
5.8. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Your Company authorizes Provider to store (where applicable) and
use all data provided by or on behalf of Your Company and/or its users, in
connection with the System Services, and all information that is derived from
such data, in order to provide the System Services, to create Depersonalized
Information, and for other purposes permissible under applicable Law, and to
disclose Depersonalized Information to third parties. “Depersonalized
Information” means data provided by or on behalf of Your Company, its
users, in connection with the System Services, and all information that is
derived from such data, that has had names and other personal information
removed such that it is not reasonably linkable to any Person, household, or
device. Provider may use its Affiliates in creating the Depersonalized
Information.
5.9. Each
party will implement reasonable administrative, technical and physical
safeguards designed to: (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of the
other party’s Confidential Information; (ii) protect against any anticipated
threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the other party’s
Confidential Information; and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or
use of the other party’s Confidential Information. We shall be permitted to
publicize the existence of the relationship hereunder.

possession. Your Company shall remain liable for all payments due to us with
respect to the period ending on the date of termination. Within thirty (30) days after termination,

regarding the disposition of tapes, data, files and other property belonging to
Your Company and then in our possession.
We shall comply with that notice, except that we may retain all such
property until we receive all payments due to us under these Terms. Upon request contained in such notice, we
shall convert Your Company’s data to machine readable form to the extent
practicable and at Your Company’s expense. If Your Company fails to give that
notice within thirty (30) days after termination of these Terms, then we may
dispose of such property as we see fit.

direct recourse, and shall assert no claim, against any subcontractor of Provider
or its Affiliates.
7.5. Provider’s Confidential Information

Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules
(including, when applicable, the AAA procedures for Large, Complex Commercial
Disputes), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall decide
any issues submitted in accordance with the provisions and commercial purposes
of the Agreement and shall not have the power to award damages other than those
described in the Agreement. Except as may be required by Law, or if necessary
