4.5 The Client represents and warrants that it will only provide Personal Data to Onfido that is accurate, complete and provided in a form that Onfido can Process, in order to maximize the quality of the Services, and Client agrees that if any Personal Data is not provided as such, any resulting impact on the quality of the Services shall not cause Onfido to be in breach of this Agreement or any SLA.
4.6 The Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password(s) or security routines it is given or sets to access and use the Services, and is fully responsible for all activities that occur under the Client’s password(s) or security routines. The Client agrees to notify Onfido immediately of any accidental or unauthorized access to or use of the Services, whether suspected or confirmed. In the event of a suspected or confirmed security incident impacting Client's use of the Services or other exigent circumstances (including any sustained external threat to the Services, or any Client breach of Clause 10.1), Onfido reserves the right to immediately withdraw or suspend access to the Site or the Services and to alter the Client’s password(s).
4.7 The Client acknowledges and agrees that the veracity of any information transmitted through the Site and in relation to the Services is the sole responsibility of the originator from which the content originated (for example, referees or data suppliers) and Onfido will not be liable for omissions in content or errors or false statements, including in respect of data provided by third parties. The Services are not intended to be used as the sole basis for any business decision (including where those business decisions concern a User). The Client agrees that Onfido has no liability for any inaccuracy, incompleteness or other error in the Services (including the Site, the Reports and the Content) which arises as a result of data provided by the Client or any third party.
4.8 No conditions, warranties or other terms apply to any Services (including any Software) supplied by Onfido under this Agreement other than the conditions, warranties and terms expressly set forth herein. Onfido hereby disclaims any implied warranties whether arising under law, through course of dealing, or otherwise, (including any implied warranties of non-infringement, title, satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, merchantability or conformance with description). In addition, Onfido does not warrant or enter into any other term to the effect that any Software or any technology provided in connection with this agreement or any order form will be entirely free from defects or that its operation will be entirely error free. The Client understands that Onfido obtains the information reported in its reports from various third party sources “as is”, and therefore is providing the information to the Client “as is”.
4.9 Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Services include the sending of identity documents to a Fraud Database Service Provider; (ii) the Fraud Database Service Provider may retain identity documents that are suspected to be fraudulent for the purpose of identifying fraud in the future; and (iii) Clauses 10.2.3, 10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.8, 10.2.9, 10.6, and 10.7 shall not apply to Processing by a Fraud Database Service Provider. Client may deactivate the aforementioned Services at any time by notifying Onfido in accordance with this Agreement
4.10. Onfido is not a consumer reporting agency and none of the information provided through the Services constitutes a “consumer report” as such term is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. The Services are expressly limited to providing supplemental information in support of Client’s anti-fraud and identity verification business processes only. By accessing the Services except for Onfido’s SSN Check (to the extent purchased under the Order Form), the Client agrees that it shall not use any Services (i) to determine a consumer’s eligibility for credit or insurance, (ii) in connection with underwriting individual insurance, (iii) in connection with evaluating a consumer for employment, promotion, reassignment or retention as an employee, contractor or similar position, (iv) in connection with any other permissible purpose as defined in the FCRA, or (v) in any other manner that would cause the use of the Services to be construed as a consumer report by any entity having jurisdiction over Onfido or the Client. The Client further agrees not to take any adverse action, based in whole or in part, on the data from the Services, against any consumer. “Adverse action” and “consumer” have the definitions given to them in the FCRA. Client agrees to promptly notify Onfido of any complaints Client receives from Users claiming deficiencies related to procedures required under the FCRA.
4.11 Excluding Right to Work checks and SSN Check (to the extent purchased under the Order Form), Client acknowledges and agrees the Services are based on information that was not collected, in whole or in part, for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing a consumer's eligibility for credit or insurance to be used primarily for personal, family or household purposes, employment, or any other similar purpose. Accordingly, Client shall not use such Services as part of its decision-making process for determining a consumer's eligibility for credit, insurance or any other similar purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause is not intended to prohibit the Client from using the Services for the purpose of verifying a User’s identity.
4.12. The Client will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Onfido and its respective officers, shareholders, directors, and personnel, (and keep such individuals indemnified on a full indemnity basis), from and against any third party claims, suits, hearings, actions, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, losses, judgments or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to the Client’s use of the Services (collectively, “Claims”), provided and to the extent that such Claims are not due to any breach of this Agreement by Onfido. Additionally, Client shall require its Users to enter into an individual arbitration agreement containing a non-severable class action waiver regarding the provision of the Services (including the processing of biometric data and/or information), and expressly name Onfido as a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce such individual arbitration agreement and non-severable class action waiver.
5. CHARGES AND PAYMENT
5.1. In consideration of the provision of the Services, the Client will pay the charges set out in the applicable Order Form in the manner set out in this Agreement and/or the applicable Order Form.

5.3. Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, the Client will pay each invoice submitted to it by Onfido in full within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Time for payment will be of the essence. The Client may not withhold payment of any invoice or other amount due to Onfido by reason of any right of set-off or counterclaim which the Client may have, or allege to have, or for any reason whatsoever.
6. PERMITTED USE AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
6.1. As between Onfido and the Client, all Intellectual Property Rights and all other rights in the Services (including the Site, the Software the Content and the Reports) and any Feedback, Onboarding Packages and/ or Beta Features will be owned by Onfido. Onfido licenses all such rights to the Client free of charge during the Term on a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free worldwide basis to such extent as is necessary to enable the Client to make use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement and the Order Form. The Client will leave in place (and not alter or obscure) all proprietary notices and licenses contained in the Services. All rights in and to Intellectual Property Rights owned or controlled by Onfido not expressly granted herein are reserved.
6.2 The Client will allow Onfido to reference and/or include the Client in any advertising or promotional material, including:

iii. naming the Client in a press release, such press release to be jointly worked on with the Client within 90 days of the Commencement Date and to be subject to Client’s final approval.
7. TERMINATION
7.1 Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which the parties may have, either party may suspend, terminate or partially terminate this Agreement and the applicable Order Form without liability to the other party immediately on giving Notice to the other party if: (i) the other party fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement or the Order Form on the due date for payment and remains in default not less than 30 days after being notified in writing to make such payment; or the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and/or the Order Form where the breach is incapable of remedy; or (ii) the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and/or the Order Form where the breach is capable of remedy and fails to remedy that breach within fourteen (14) days after receiving written Notice of such breach, save that this fourteen (14) day cure period is not required if the continued performance of the Agreement is causing harm to the party wishing to suspend/terminate; or (iii) it enters into an arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors, goes into administration, receivership or administrative receivership, is declared bankrupt or insolvent or is dissolved or otherwise ceases to carry on any Services; or (iv) any analogous event happens to the other party in any jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or resident or in which it carries on business or has assets; or(v) required pursuant to a change in applicable law. If Customer terminates this Agreement because Onfido commits a material breach, Onfido will refund any unconsumed prepaid Charges calculated pro rata. If Onfido terminates this Agreement because the Client commits a material breach, Onfido will be entitled to the Charges until the end of the relevant payment period. Payment obligations will continue in full during any period of suspension by Onfido for material breach.
7.2 On termination of this Agreement and the applicable Order Form, the accrued rights and liabilities of the parties as at termination and the continuation of any provision expressly stated to survive or implicitly surviving termination, will not be affected.

10. DATA PROTECTION
10.1 PERSONAL DATA. The Client will provide or make available to Onfido or assist Onfido with the collection of information relating to Users (such information provided under this Agreement is “Personal Data”). Such information includes but is not limited to the information described on the Order Form. Client consents to Onfido’s collection, storage, use, disclosure, and destruction of Personal Data (collectively, “Process” or “Processing”) to provide the Services, and Client represents and warrants that it has taken all required steps to ensure that Onfido may lawfully Process the Personal Data for the purpose of providing the Services in accordance with Privacy Laws (including by having provided all necessary notices and obtained all necessary consents for Onfido to collect and Process any and all Personal Data, including biometric information pursuant to BIPA and any other rules, laws, regulations, directives and governmental requirements concerning biometric information). Additionally, Client will provide Client’s Users with the notice language contained in Schedule 4 and obtain each Users’ consent to that notice language before Personal Data is provided to Onfido, except in the case of SSN Check in which Client shall use the consent and notice language contained in the Schedule 6 to this Agreement. Onfido represents and warrants that, except for Permitted Vendor Purposes (defined below), it (i) will only retain, use, disclose, or Process Personal Data obtained in the course of providing the Services on behalf of the Client and in compliance with this Agreement; (ii) will not sell Personal Data; and (iii) will not take any action that would cause Onfido to cease being a “service provider” as defined under the CCPA with respect to Personal Data. Onfido may, however, Process Personal Data for a “business purpose” (as defined by and consistent with the CCPA) permitted of a qualified service provider under the CCPA, so long as the purpose for which the Personal Data is used does not cause Onfido to lose its status as a service provider and is otherwise in compliance with all applicable Privacy Laws (“Permitted Vendor Purposes”). In addition, as part of the Services, Onfido may create de-identified data and aggregate consumer information, which as long as such is maintained so as to qualify as de-identified data and/or aggregate consumer information under applicable Privacy Laws, and so long as such data is not attributable to the Client, will not be deemed Personal Data and will not be subject to the restrictions thereon hereunder. Client will defend and indemnify Onfido against any claims brought by third parties under the BIPA or other Privacy Laws due to breach of this clause 10.1.
10.2 ONFIDO RESPONSIBILITIES. Onfido will:
10.2.1 Process Personal Data only in accordance with this Agreement;
10.2.2 unless required by applicable law, not disclose or otherwise make available any Personal Data to any third party without first (i) imposing contractual obligations on the third party recipient that are substantially similar to those imposed on Onfido under this Agreement related to the Processing of Personal Data; and (ii) including the third party in Onfido’s Records of Processing before sharing any Personal Data with that third party service provider. Onfido shall make the Records of Processing available to Client, and if Client objects to any third party service provider, Client may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Clause 7. Onfido agrees to remain liable to the Client for the aforementioned third party service provider’s Processing of Personal Data;
10.2.3 cooperate and assist the Client in responding to any User’s request to exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of Processing, data portability, objection to Processing, or any other rights available to the User under Privacy Laws (collectively “Data Subject Requests”), and Client agrees that Onfido may disclose Client's name and contact information to any User seeking to exercise their Data Subject Requests so User may directly exercise their Data Subject Requests with the Client. Client acknowledges its responsibility to comply with all Data Subject Requests with respect to Personal Data (including, but not limited to, requests to know, to delete, and to opt-out under the CCPA), as required by applicable law. Upon the Client’s request, and at the reasonable expense of the Client, Onfido will provide reasonable assistance as necessary to permit the Client to respond to such requests as required by applicable law. Onfido will not respond to any Data Subject Requests relating to Personal Data unless and until expressly instructed to do so by the Client other than to indicate to the User that it is unable to comply with the Data Subject Request because it is a service provider and not the controller of the Personal Data. Upon direction from the Client to execute a deletion of Personal Data pursuant to a Data Subject Request, Onfido shall delete the relevant Personal Data in question, subject to Onfido’s retention rights under California Civil Code § 1798.105(d) or other applicable law (e.g., litigation holds). Onfido will inform the Client if it is unable to delete Personal Data or otherwise respond to, or assist with, a Data Subject Request as directed by the Client;
10.2.4 enable the Client to amend, correct, or delete (unless storage of any Personal Data is required by applicable law, including Privacy Law) Personal Data within the Services;
10.2.5 where requested by the Client and required under Privacy Laws, provide such assistance as the Client reasonably requires (taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Onfido) for the Client to (i) conduct data protection impact assessments; and (ii) consult with data protection supervisory authorities;
10.2.6 take measures designed to ensure the reliability of all personnel who Process Personal Data by (i) performing background checks upon such personnel (where permissible under applicable law); (ii) assigning specific and necessity-based access privileges to such personnel; (iii) ensuring that such personnel have undergone training in data protection and privacy; and (iv) ensuring that such personnel are bound by obligations of confidentiality;
10.2.7 ensure that all Personal Data residing in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area is not transferred out of the United Kingdom or European Economic Area to data recipients in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection as determined by the European Commission or the Information Commissioner’s Office, unless the parties have entered into Information Commission and/or European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses or other data protection safeguards in compliance with Privacy Laws; and
10.2.8 provide other reasonably necessary assistance for the Client to meet its compliance obligations under Privacy Laws with respect to the Service in response to written requests from the Client for such assistance.
10.3 SECURITY SAFEGUARDS
10.3.1 Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons and in accordance with a comprehensive information security policy (“Information Security Policy”), Onfido will establish, maintain and comply with administrative, physical, technical and organizational safeguards designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of Personal Data and to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data.
10.3.2 Onfido’s Information Security Policy will: (i) implement back-up and disaster recovery systems; (ii) continuously assess risks to the security of Personal Data by (1) assessing the likelihood and potential damage of such risks, taking into account the sensitivity and risk of the Personal Data, (2) identifying internal and external threats that could result in a Security Breach, and (3) conducting penetration testing; and (iii) take appropriate steps to protect against such risks.

11. GENERAL
11.1 No variation of this Agreement or any Order Form will be valid unless it is agreed in writing and signed by both of the parties. Failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or any Order Form will not constitute a waiver of such (or any other) right or remedy.
11.2 If any provision of this Agreement or Order Form (or part of any provision) is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision will, to the extent required, be deemed not to form part of the Agreement or Order Form as applicable and (i) the parties will immediately commence good faith negotiations to remedy such invalidity; and (ii) the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement or Order Form as applicable will not be affected.
11.3 This Agreement and the applicable Order Form constitutes the whole agreement between the parties and supersedes any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the applicable Order Form. Each party acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement or any Order Form it has not relied upon any oral or written statements, collateral or other warranties, assurances, representations or undertakings which were made by or on behalf of the other party in relation to the subject-matter of this Agreement or an Order Form at any time before its signature other than those which are set out in this Agreement or any Order Form. Furthermore, and for the avoidance of doubt, Client understands its business needs and has determined independently that the Services will meet its needs.
11.4 Neither party will be liable for any delay or non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any Order Form to the extent that such delay or non-performance is a result of any condition beyond its reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”). To the extent that a Force Majeure Event occurs, Client acknowledges that Onfido may be required (and will be permitted) to change the manner in which it provides the Services.
11.5 Except as expressly stated otherwise, nothing in this Agreement or any Order Form will create an agency, partnership or joint venture of any kind between the parties. Neither party will have authority to act in the name of or on behalf of the other, or to enter into any commitment or make any representation or warranty or otherwise bind the other in any way.
11.6 Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other such consent not to be unreasonably withheld save that either party can, provided not to a direct competitor, assign this Agreement by operation of law, or in connection with a merger, change of control, sale of assets or other similar transaction.
11.7 The Client acknowledges and agrees that the supply of the Reports and Services by Onfido and their use by the Client is governed by laws and regulatory requirements and that these laws and regulatory requirements may be altered from time to time. The Client agrees that Onfido may: (i) modify; or (ii) cease to provide the Services (including the Reports, the Content and the Site) to the Client if necessary to comply with the legal or regulatory requirements, and that such modifications or a cessation will not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement.
11.8 All notices must be in English, in writing, and sent by email to the address for Legal notices as set out in the Order Form, or such other address as either party has notified the other in accordance with this clause (a “Notice”).
11.9 The parties will: (i) comply with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws; (ii) promptly report to the other party any request or demand for any undue financial or other advantage of any kind received by it in connection with the performance of this Agreement; (iii) cooperate regarding investigations by the other Party into any matters related to bribery and corruption in connection with this Agreement.
11.10 Charges specified in this Agreement are exclusive of any Tax. The Client will be responsible for, and agrees to pay, Tax on all items, goods and/or Services being paid for by the Client hereunder. If the Client is based in Canada and does not provide a valid GST (or HST) number, Onfido will include GST, PST, and HST in invoices if applicable. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imports, deductions, charges or withholdings. If the Client is required by law to deduct such Tax from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Onfido then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after all deductions are made, the Onfido receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. The Parties will cooperate and take all steps reasonably and lawfully available to them to minimize such Tax and to obtain double taxation relief. If the Client withholds any such amounts from the fees, the Client will provide Onfido with a statement of withholding tax within 30 days from the withholding. Onfido confirms to the Client that it is a resident of the United States. Unless otherwise agreed, the party that is liable for payment of any Tax upon which interest and penalties are imposed shall bear such interest and penalties. In the event Onfido suffers any fines, penalties or charges due to the Client's non-compliance with this Clause, or the Client fails to comply with the relevant tax legislation and regulations in respect of the Charges, the Client will indemnify Onfido for such costs.
11.11 Except in respect of any transfer of staff pursuant to applicable law, neither party shall (except with the prior written consent of the other party) directly or indirectly solicit or entice away (or attempt to solicit or entice away) from the employment of the other party any person employed or engaged by such other party in the provision of the Services or (in the case of the Client) in the receipt of the Services at any time during the Term or for a further period of 3 months after the termination of this Agreement other than by means of a national advertising campaign open to all comers and not specifically targeted at any of the staff of the other party.
11.12 Client will comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations of the United States and any other applicable governmental authority, including without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and U.S. sanctions regulations ("Export Control and Sanctions Laws"). Client will not engage in any transactions with: (i) any User, entity, or country prohibited by Export Control and Sanctions Laws, including, without limitation, the prohibition against transactions with: (A) a national or resident of any country subject to U.S. sanctions or similar restrictions (currently, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea and the region Crimea), or (B) anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or other sanctions lists (“OFAC Lists”). Client represents and warrants that it is not a person on an OFAC List and that it is not located in a country subject to sanctions.
11.13 Any and all claims for loss arising under this Agreement will be subject to a general obligation of the parties to use all reasonable efforts to mitigate such losses.
11.14 Except as expressly stated otherwise, nothing in this Agreement will create or confer any rights or other benefits in favor of any person other than the parties to this Agreement.
11.15 This Agreement and all Order Forms and all disputes and claims arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of New York. With the sole exception of any application for injunctive relief, the parties irrevocably agree that the Federal and State Courts located in New York County, New York have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (whether contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the Order Form (including their subject matter or formation).
