5. TERMINATION

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: (a) 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 (b) (i) 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; or (c) 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 (d) 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 (e) the circumstances in Clause 3 apply; (f) required pursuant to a change in applicable law.

Payment obligations will continue in full during any period of suspension by Onfido for material breach.

6. DATA PROTECTION

6.1 Onfido shall build strong safeguards to ensure that any Personal Data is logically segregated and may be easily extracted or accessed or identified in separation from the other data of Onfido.

6.2 Onfido will comply with its Information Security Policy and represents and warrants that its Information Security Policy is and will be in compliance with Privacy Law.

6.3 The parties agree that Onfido’s Information Security Policy constitutes “reasonable security practices and procedures” under section 43A of the Information Technology Act.

6.4 In relation to the Services, upon service of at least 14 days prior notice, the Client may review or monitor the security procedures practiced by Onfido on a regular basis and may review the security processes practiced by Onfido. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Client shall not have any right to control Onfido’s Information Security Policy.

6.5 Onfido will build strong safeguards to ensure that any Personal Data is logically segregated and may be easily extracted or accessed or identified in separation from the other data of Onfido.

6.6 For US Users only: This clause 6.6 only applies to the extent the Client makes the Services available to Users who are residents of any state of the United States at the time of using the Services (“US Users”). Where the Client does so, it will take any necessary steps to ensure that Onfido may lawfully obtain US Users’ Personal Data (including biometric identifiers and/or biometric information) for the purpose of providing the Services in accordance with applicable biometric information laws, including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), in particular the requirements pertaining to providing notice and obtaining consent (where required) as outlined in Onfido’s Facial Scan Policy (https://onfido.com/facial-scan-policy-and-release/), Onfido’s Developer Guides (https://developers.onfido.com/guide/onfido-privacy-notices-and-consent) and Onfido’s Terms of Service (at https://onfido.com/terms-of-service/). The Client will link to these in its interface with US Users, and ensure that US Users accept these, prior to asking US Users to proceed to complete any check powered by Onfido.

Client must ensure that all disputes with US Users regarding the provision of the service (including the processing of biometric information) by a third party identity verification provider are pursued through individual proceedings in US federal or state courts. To achieve this, a non-severable class action waiver must be incorporated in Client’s terms and conditions with US Users. The waiver should expressly name Onfido, and confirm that the User shall not sue Onfido as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class action lawsuit against Onfido. Client must obtain consent from US Users to such terms and conditions.

Client will defend and indemnify Onfido, on an unlimited basis, against any claims brought by third parties due to the Client’s failure to comply with this clause 6.6.
