Neither party shall reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile any prototypes, software or other tangible objects which embody the other party’s Confidential Information and which are provided to the Party hereunder.

13.

THIRD PARTY CLAIMS; INSURANCE.

 

a.

Marqeta Indemnification. Subject to Client’s compliance with Section 14(c) of these General Terms and Conditions, Marqeta agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Client and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all Damages as a result of a third party Claim arising out of or related to (i) Marqeta’s breach (or, as to defense obligations only, alleged breach) of this Agreement; (ii) Marqeta’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraudulent acts or omissions; (iii) Marqeta’s violation of any Applicable Law; or (iv) the infringement of the U.S. Intellectual Property Rights of any third party arising from the permitted use of the Marqeta System under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations set forth in subsection (iii) of the previous sentence shall not apply to any Damages to the extent they arise from or relate to (1) the combination of the Marqeta System or the Marqeta Card with information, services, materials or products not supplied by Marqeta, (2) any modification of the Marqeta System or Marqeta Card which is not made by or on behalf of Marqeta, (3) any failure by Client to use any modified version of the Marqeta System or Marqeta Card which is provided by Marqeta in order to avoid a claim of infringement, or (4) any use of the Marqeta System or Cards other than as permitted hereunder.

 

b.

Client Indemnification. Subject to Marqeta’s compliance with Section 13(c) of these General Terms and Conditions, Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Marqeta, Issuing Bank and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all Damages as a result of a third party Claim arising out of or related to (i) Client’s breach (or, as to defense obligations only, alleged breach) of this Agreement; (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraudulent acts or omissions of Client or any Client Personnel or Retail Partner; (iii) the violation of any Applicable Law by Client or any Client Personnel or Retail Partner; (iv) a claim that the Client Materials infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; or (v) the business and services of Client or any Retail Partner to the extent such Claims and Damages are not otherwise indemnifiable by Marqeta pursuant to Section 13(a) of these General Terms and Conditions.

 

c.

Indemnification Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification, as the indemnitee, will provide the other Party, as the indemnitor, prompt written notice of any third party Claim for which indemnity is sought, although failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of its indemnification obligations unless such failure materially prejudices indemnitor in defending such Claim. If the indemnitor is so notified, the indemnitor will promptly engage experienced and competent counsel, and will have sole control of the defense and all negotiations for the compromise or settlement of such Claim, and will pay any Damages in respect of such Claim and reimburse the indemnitee for its reasonable expenses incurred in cooperation with and providing assistance to the indemnitor; provided, however, that the indemnitor may not settle any such Claim without the indemnitee’s consent if the proposed settlement would be in the indemnitee’s name or impose pecuniary or other liability or an admission of fault or guilt on the indemnitee or would require the indemnitee to be bound by an injunction of any kind. The indemnitee shall provide reasonable information and assistance in connection with such defense and settlement (at the indemnitor’s expense). Consent to any

 

14


  settlement will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such Claim is based on the infringement of a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, the indemnitor will have the right, at its sole option and expense to procure for the indemnitee the right to continue using such materials, or to replace or modify them with non-infringing materials.

 

d.

(c)    Duty to Mitigate. Nothing in this Section 14 will be taken as any way reducing or affecting a general duty to mitigate loss suffered by a Party. Client will use reasonable efforts to enforce the terms and conditions in the agreement Client or any Affiliate of Client has with any Business Client or Cardholder in respect of the Account.

The designated representatives shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem appropriate to discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of arbitration pursuant to Section 15(c) of these General Terms and Conditions. If a Party requests that informal dispute resolution under this Section 15(b) be initiated, then formal proceedings under Section 15(c) of these General Terms and Conditions may not be commenced until the earlier of (i) the time when the Parties conclude in good faith that amicable resolution of the dispute does not appear likely or (ii) the expiration of sixty (60) days following the initial request by a Party to jointly resolve the dispute under this Section 15(b).

(c)    Arbitration. If a dispute is not resolved pursuant to the informal dispute mechanism in Section 15(b) of these General Terms and Conditions, the dispute may be submitted by either Party to mandatory and binding arbitration, pursuant to the following conditions:

 

  i.

Selection of Arbitrator. The Party making the demand for arbitration shall notify the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the other Party in writing describing in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute and shall request that the AAA furnish a list of five (5) possible arbitrators who shall have substantial experience in the area of information technology and card processing and shall otherwise be qualified to competently address the issues presented. Each Party shall have fifteen (15) days to reject two (2) of the proposed arbitrators. If only one (1) individual has not been so rejected, he or she shall serve as arbitrator.

(e)    Equitable Relief. The Parties agree that the only circumstance in which disputes between them shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 15(b) and/or 15(c) of these General Terms and Conditions is as set forth in Section 15(f) of these General Terms and Conditions, and when a Party makes a good faith determination that a material breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement by the other Party is such that injunctive or other equitable relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy. Accordingly, in addition to other remedies available to it, the affected Party will be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to remedy any threatened or actual breach of any portion of this Agreement.

(f)    No Limitation. This Section 15 shall not be construed to prevent a Party from instituting, and a Party is authorized to institute, formal court proceedings, earlier (i) to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, or (ii) to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors.

 

15.

OTHER PROVISIONS

(a)    Binding Agreement and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

  ii.

The non-performing Party shall be excused from performance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use its commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance.
