In addition to the terms of the Agreement, Company agrees to comply with the applicable provisions of the Operating Guide in all material respects (provided, that all references in the Operating Guide that refer to “Elavon” will be deemed to refer to Providers) and any Documentation that Provider provides to Company in writing from time to time that is applicable to the Services.

7.    Confidentiality; Data Security and Use.
7.1.    Confidentiality.
(a)    Confidential Information Generally.

The Receiving Party acknowledges that any breach of this Section 7.1 by the Receiving Party may result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy. The Disclosing Party may seek both monetary damages and equitable relief with respect to any such breach without any obligation to post a bond.
(b)    Disclosure of Confidential Information. If the Receiving Party or its agents become legally required or compelled (by any publicly filed and noticed deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, civil subpoena, civil investigative demand or by any similar process or court or administrative order, or by any regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Receiving Party) to disclose Confidential Information, then the
Master Services Agreement (v.1.27.22) 8


Receiving Party if permitted will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt prior written notice of such legal requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

(f)    Obligations on Termination. At the request of the Disclosing Party upon the termination of the Agreement, the Receiving Party will promptly delete or return to the Disclosing Party all originals and copies containing or reflecting any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (other than those required to be retained by Law, Payment Network Regulations or the Receiving Party’s information retention policies, or that would be unreasonably burdensome to destroy, such as archived computer records). If a dispute arises between the Parties in relation to the Confidential Information or the Agreement, the Receiving Party may retain a copy of such Confidential Information as the Receiving Party reasonably determines is necessary for its defense of the dispute. In all cases, any retained Confidential Information will continue to be subject to the terms of the Agreement.
7.2.    Data Security and Use.

Unless otherwise required or directed under Law, the Payment Network Regulations, or a Payment Network, Provider will not (i) contact or inform any Customer of whose data may have been the subject of a Provider Data Breach of the occurrence of the Provider Data Breach, or (ii) publicly disclose that information provided by Company to Provider was the subject in any part of a Provider Data Breach. If Provider is legally obligated or the Payment Network Regulations or Payment Networks require Provider to contact Customers as part of a Provider Data Breach, Provider will limit the notices to such Customers to those required by the legal obligation, the Payment Network Regulations, or the Payment Networks, or as approved by Company. In case of a confirmed Provider Data Breach then Provider must notify Company promptly, but no later than [***]; provided, however, failure to comply with this notice requirement shall not be a material breach.
(d)    Protected Information.
(i)    Each Party will ensure the security of Cardholder Data, Transaction Information and other information by which individuals may be identified (collectively, “Protected Information”) in accordance with all Laws and Payment Network Regulations and the Agreement. Each Party shall: (1) treat Protected Information as confidential information and protect such materials from disclosure to any third person, except as expressly permitted in the Agreement. And use reasonable measures to prevent the unauthorized processing, capture, transmission and use of Protected Information; and (2) at all times only store, process, transmit and use Protected Information in accordance with the requirements of any applicable data processing laws and Payment Network Regulations.

(ii)    Company’s processing of any personal data within the meaning of applicable data protection legislation (“Personal Data”) received by it in performance of the Agreement shall comply with applicable data protection legislation and all Laws.
(iii)    Company will not disclose Protected Information to any third party without the consent of the Cardholder, except to a Service Provider, or as otherwise permitted by Laws and the Payment Network Regulations. Company will not retain or store magnetic stripe or CVV2/CVC2/CID data after authorization for any purpose.

(iv)    Provider acknowledges that Company may collect information about Company’s Customers as part of a Company sales transaction (e.g., price paid, time, store identifier, SKU information) regardless of the Customer’s payment type and not in connection with the Services, and that the Agreement does not restrict Company’s retention, use or disclosure of such information even though some of that information may overlap with elements of Transaction Information.

Subject to Laws in any applicable jurisdiction, Provider shall require third parties to whom it discloses Personal Data to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement.
(vii)    Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, any Protected Information that Provider obtains in connection with the Agreement may be:

15.2.    Company acknowledges that fees for the Services are very small in relation to the funds conditionally credited to Company for Transactions, and, consequently, Provider’s willingness to provide these Services is based on the liability limitations contained in the Agreement.
