Company shall have and adhere to commercially reasonable written information security guidelines for maintaining security controls and shall reasonably discuss such guidelines with Customer. Company’s information security guidelines shall include physical, administrative and technological controls. The controls should relate to the collection, maintenance (including access rights), transmittal and disposal of Personally Identifiable Information or “PII” (as defined below), and should include training, oversight, tests for vulnerabilities, checks of the systems and measures to prevent and detect unauthorized access. At a minimum, the information security guidelines shall include: (i) a written plan to assess and manage system failures; (ii) a regular assessment of data security risks and revision of guidelines to address identified risks; and (iii) notice and incident response procedures.

With respect to all employees, agents or third party contractors of Company who at any time have access rights to Personally Identifiable Information, Company agrees as follows: (i) to limit such access to only those employees, agents or third parties with a need for such access in order to perform Company’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) prior to allowing any employee, agent or third party to have access to the Personally Identifiable Information, Company will advise (via training or other processes designed to acquaint such person with the security guidelines/programs instituted by Company) such employee, agent or third party of the confidential and sensitive nature of such information; and (iii) Company shall remain responsible for its compliance and the compliance of all its employees, agents and third parties with the obligations under this Agreement. Company also requires any of its employees with access to Personally Identifiable Information to undergo criminal and other background checks prior to allowing their access to Personally Identifiable Data.

Company may only provide Personally Identifiable Information to third parties who have a Certification Report.

5. Retention and Transmission. Company shall, upon the written request of Customer, encrypt any Personally Identifiable Information stored on its information systems and/or as transmitted by Company to Customer, but Company may only provide Personally Identifiable Information to third party contractors who either i) have Certification Report; or ii) are in compliance with Section 2 above.

6. Notification. Company shall notify Customer promptly under the circumstances, however in no event earlier than the latest of the following: (i) as required by law; or (ii) two (2) business days after discovering such event; or (iii) the date law enforcement officials, if involved in investigating the event, authorize such notification, of any unauthorized access or acquisition of Personally Identifiable Information or misuse or a reasonable belief of misuse of Personally Identifiable Information, by an unauthorized third party. This notification will state in reasonable detail the Personally Identifiable Information at risk, and each Party agrees to take all actions reasonable under the circumstances necessary to immediately prevent the continued unauthorized access of such information. Company further agrees that, in the event of an unauthorized access to Personally Identifiable Information, it will work in good faith and cooperate with Customer to address the breach, including an investigation of the unauthorized access in a manner mutually agreed by the Parties.

For OMNI and USAePay

4.2 Referral Fees/Commissions. NMI shall collect fees for the above Services in one of the following two ways set forth below in this Fees section, or a combination thereof, in each case as mutually agreed to by NMI and Company.

4.2.1 Merchant Debiting. If the Merchant Debiting option is selected, NMI will debit fees directly from Merchants, pursuant to the payment terms set forth in the applicable Merchant Agreement, for Services provided to such Merchants, and pay Company Commissions on such fees collected from such Merchants, less fees charged to Company under the Agreement (as set forth in the Fee Schedule/Order Form). Commissions will be paid to Company on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month following the month NMI collects the applicable fees from the Merchant. For clarity, Company will only receive Commissions on fees that are actually collected and retained by NMI from the Merchants.

If the minimum $50.00 has not been earned in a given month, the Commissions are not lost but are carried over to the next month and will be paid when the aggregate amount in Commissions due equals or exceeds $50.00. If the amount collected from Merchants does not equal or exceed the amounts due from Company, Company will be responsible to reimburse NMI for the shortfall.

4.2.2 Company Debiting. If the Company Debiting option is selected, NMI will debit fees directly from Company, pursuant to the General Terms, for Services provided to Company’s Merchants, in the amounts set forth in the Fee Schedule/Order Form. NMI will typically debit Company on the first business day of each month for all amounts owing under the Agreement; however, if fees accrue to more than $50.00 at any time in any given month, NMI may debit Company the full amount due on a more frequent basis at NMI’s discretion. Company authorizes NMI to initiate transaction entries to Company’s depositories account. This authority will remain in full force and effect until NMI receives written notification from Company of its request for termination in such time as to afford NMI and Company’s depository institution a reasonable opportunity to acknowledge and respond to the request. Company shall owe the amounts invoiced regardless of whether Company is able to collect its fees from its Merchants.

4.3 Default Fee Increases. Fees applicable to Merchants and sub-affiliates may be automatically adjusted from time to time by a proportion equal to the percentage fee increase applied by NMI to Company pursuant to the Agreement. The price increase described herein is controlled and set as the “Default” option in the Partner Portal. The Company shall, in its sole discretion, set the fees applied to its Merchants and sub-affiliates and may opt out of the Default setting by contacting support@nmi.com or changing their pricing to customers within the portal.

1. Unmatched Credit Acknowledgment

In the event that Company requests NMI to process credit transactions that do not correspond to identified sales transactions in the same amount and at the same merchant (“Unmatched Credits“), these Unmatched Credit terms shall apply. Company understands that initiating Unmatched Credits removes the verification check that otherwise would be present if such credit transaction could be matched to a sales transaction, and that NMI advises not to initiate such Unmatched Credit transactions. Therefore, Company agrees to assume all risk of loss on and liability arising out of Unmatched Credits incurred by NMI or by Company or by any Merchant on whose behalf Company is authorizing NMI to initiate Unmatched Credits. Company represents and warrants that it is authorized by Merchant to initiate Unmatched Credits for the subject Merchant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any agreement Company has or any agreement any Merchant has with NMI, to the maximum extent permitted by law and in addition to any indemnity obligations Company may otherwise have under the Agreement or otherwise, Company will completely defend, hold harmless and indemnify NMI and its employees and agents from and against any claim, threat of claim, and Losses incurred by NMI or brought by any third party against NMI arising out of any Unmatched Credit initiated by Company or on Company’s behalf. The obligations of Company under this Section shall not be subject to any limitation of liability. If there is any inconsistency between these Unmatched Credits terms and the terms of any agreement Company has entered into, these Unmatched Credits terms will prevail.

2. Unmasked Sensitive Processor Information Acknowledgment

In the event Company requests NMI to unmask certain sensitive processor information, including but not limited to merchant identification numbers or related merchant identifying information, terminal identification numbers, and passwords (collectively, “Processor Information“), that NMI routinely truncates in order to protect such information from fraudulent use, Company understands that (i) these unmasked Processor Information terms shall apply and (ii) revealing Processor Information in the clear removes the protection afforded such information that otherwise would be present if Processor Information was masked, and that NMI advises not to unmask such Processor Information. Therefore, Company agrees to assume all risk of loss on and liability incurred by it or by any Merchant on whose behalf it is requesting NMI unmask Processor Information. Company represents and warrants that it is authorized to make such request for the subject Merchant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any agreement Company has or any agreement any Merchant has with NMI, to the maximum extent permitted by law and in addition to any indemnity obligations Company may otherwise have, Company will defend, hold harmless and indemnify NMI and its employees and agents from and against any claim, threat of claim, and Losses incurred by NMI or brought by any third party against NMI arising out of complying with Company’s request to unmask Processor Information. The previous sentence shall not be subject to any limitation of liability.

2. Marketing Activities

2.1. Merchant Enrollment. Prior to allowing any prospective Merchant to access or use the Processor Services, Company will ensure that each such Merchant has completed NMI’s registration process and has executed a valid Merchant Agreement and Processor Agreement, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, a Merchant Agreement is only required if Merchant is receiving one (or more) of NMI’s gateway offerings, in addition to Processing Services. Company must use and present to Merchants the forms of Merchant Agreement and Processor Agreement as communicated to Company by NMI (which forms are subject to change from time to time in NMI’s sole discretion with written notice to Company). Company may not make any changes to the Merchant Agreements or Processor Agreements without NMI’s prior written approval.

2.2. Merchant Review and Approval. NMI and its sponsoring financial institution will review prospective Merchants submitted by Company and may accept or reject a prospective Merchant in their sole and absolute discretion. Company agrees to use best efforts to promptly collect any information reasonably requested by NMI for purposes including, but not limited to, underwriting Merchants, researching transactions, or resolving chargebacks. Company will not attempt to onboard a Merchant located outside of supported territories or that operates in a prohibited industry as listed in the Processor Agreement or on any other such list promulgated by the Processor or the Payment Networks. Company will notify NMI of any material changes to Company’s business, including the types of services it provides, the kinds of payments it processes, the types of Merchants it serves, or Company’s financial stability or solvency. NMI may, in its sole discretion, modify or terminate any Merchant Agreement or Processor Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Merchant Agreement or Processor Agreement.

2.3. Merchant Agreements. For the purposes of these Partner Terms, the Merchant Agreement will be between the Merchant and NMI only. Company will not be a party to the Merchant Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, NMI may assign any Merchant Agreement to any third party designated by NMI, and may cause the assignment of any Processing Agreement to NMI or to any third party designated by NMI, all in NMI’s sole discretion, without consent from or prior notice to Company.

2.5. Processor Integration. The Services are integrated with the Processor Services provided by NMI and are used to facilitate Merchant transactions processed by NMI and its sponsoring financial institution. Accordingly, use of the Services requires that Merchants have a current Processing Agreement and a valid merchant account with Processor. Processor will provide transaction processing to Merchants in accordance with such Processing Agreement. Processor will perform Merchant onboarding, underwriting, and ongoing monitoring on behalf of Company, and NMI has no control over whether Processor accepts or rejects a prospective Merchant solicited by Company. NMI is not the provider of any Processor Services and is not a party to any Processing Agreement or any other agreement between any Merchant and Processor. Company acknowledges and agrees that Processor may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate any Merchant at any time, upon notice, if: (a) the Merchant or Company has violated (or if continuing to process transactions would violate) the Agreement, the Processor Agreement, applicable law, Rules, or other program standards; (b) the Merchant or Merchant’s transactions create increased reputational or unreasonable financial risk for Processor; or (c) a Payment Network or sponsoring bank terminates or asks Processor to terminate the Merchant; Processor’s exercise of any of these rights will be without recourse to Processor or NMI. Company further acknowledges and agrees that as a necessary part of Processor’s risk monitoring services, Processor retains the right, in its sole discretion, to limit transaction size and types, limit Merchant processing volume or ability to process transactions, hold payments or payouts for manual review, or hold Merchant payouts in reserve.

2.6. Updates. Company agrees to make all reasonably required updates to the technical integration needed to resolve security issues, decrease financial risk, or comply with applicable law, Rules, or other program standards. NMI will use reasonable efforts to provide reasonable advance notice of any required integration updates (including without limitation involving integration with the Processor Services), but Company acknowledges that this may not be possible in all cases due to more immediate security, risk, compliance, or regulatory concerns.

3. Payment Terms

3.1. Commissions and Fees. Company appoints NMI (or such other third party designated by NMI) as its agents for the limited purpose of billing and collecting fees from Merchants in accordance with the Agreement (provided, however, that the parties expressly agree that no fiduciary relationship, partnership, or joint venture is created by this limited agency, and that Company and NMI remain at all times in an arm’s length commercial relationship). Processor (or another third party designated by NMI) will remit Commissions to Company on a monthly basis (on or before the end of each subsequent month) with respect to prior month’s activity, after netting fees and other amounts charged by NMI (as set forth on the Fee Schedule), which Processor will remit to NMI. Commissions will be based on net revenues actually received and retained by NMI attributable to Merchants and NMI will have no obligation to pay any Commissions if NMI has not received its corresponding revenue from Processor. NMI may amend the Fee Schedule upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Merchant, provided that fees imposed by the Payment Networks and other third parties and passed through to Company or Merchants may be updated at any time without prior notice. NMI will use reasonable efforts to provide written notice of changes to third-party fees but prior notice may not always be possible. Without liming the foregoing, Company understands and agrees that certain risk management fees may be updated by NMI at any time to account for increased costs or exposure based on the actual performance of one or more of Company’s Merchants. Changes in such risk management fees will be applied prospectively from when the change is implemented, and not retrospectively. The obligation to pay Commissions will cease immediately if Company: (a) violates the non-solicitation obligations under the Agreement; (b) fails to remain in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Rules, the policies, standards or procedures of NMI or applicable law or regulation; or (c) violates any confidentiality or intellectual property rights of NMI protected by the Agreement.

3.2. Merchant Fees. Merchant fees will be set by NMI in consultation with Company. Company may request the rates to be charged to Merchants, but NMI reserves the right to make adjustments to such pricing in its sole discretion. NMI also reserves the right to subsequently modify Merchant pricing from time to time in its sole discretion. In such case, NMI will use reasonable efforts to give Company advance notification of such pricing change (and the Merchant will be notified as provided in the applicable Merchant Agreement). However, Company will not be permitted to reprice a Merchant (up or down) once pricing is set for such Merchant, without NMI’s express written consent.

3.3. Payment Terms. NMI will net amounts owed to it under the Agreement from payment transaction amounts owed to Merchants under the Processing Agreement, and NMI will remit amounts owed to it under this Agreement. Company authorizes NMI and/or its designees to initiate Automated Clearing House (“ACH“) debits and/or credits to and from Company’s depository bank account as designated by Company for payment and collection of all Commissions, fees, and other amounts due under the Agreement. NMI reserves the right to offset from the Commissions or any funds credited to or owing to Company: (a) any amounts owed by Company to NMI ; and (b) any revenue paid to Company but that is uncollected from the Merchant. NMI will set off and deduct amounts owed to NMI from any amounts owed to Company under the Agreement. In the event that Company owes NMI more than NMI owes to Company in Commissions, Company authorizes NMI and/or its designees to collect all amounts owed via ACH.

Each NMI Affiliate will be liable only for its own obligations or any breaches by it, and no NMI Affiliate (including Network Merchants, LLC) will have any liability for the obligations of any other NMI Affiliate or for any breach or default by any other NMI Affiliate.

Company will restrict access to such credentials and the use of the account to Company’s employees and agents as may be reasonably necessary and consistent with the purposes of this Agreement and will ensure that each such employee and agent is aware of and complies with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and any applicable policies or guidelines issued by NMI relating thereto.

NMI will be entitled to rely on information transmitted to NMI by or on behalf of Company, including information received through the use of Company’s credentials or from an email address associated with Company’s business or account. Company’s use of the Services will be restricted to Company.

Where NMI processes Personal Data as a Controller pursuant to this Agreement, it shall do so in accordance with data protection laws and its privacy policy located here (“Privacy Policy“). NMI, in its sole and absolute discretion, may modify or update its Privacy Policy from time to time. NMI will post such revised Privacy Policy on its website. In addition, to the extent required under the data protection laws of certain jurisdictions, the Data Processing Addendum accessible at Data Processing Addendum will apply to any processing of Personal Data which is disclosed or processed on the Company’s behalf in connection with the Services.

4.9. Country-Specific Terms. The below addenda will supplement the terms of this Agreement in the indicated countries or jurisdictions only. In the United Kingdom, the U.K. Country Addendum will apply to Services offered by Network Merchants, Limited (as the relevant NMI Affiliate), and the terms of the U.K. Country Addendum will prevail over these General Terms and Conditions where there is a case of conflicting terms.

4.10. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI-DSS”). If applicable, NMI will provide the Services in a manner consistent with the PCI-DSS applicable to NMI, and shall maintain processes, controls, and oversight measures reasonably designed to support ongoing compliance. This includes active monitoring, assessment, and timely remediation of any findings, in line with industry best practices. For the avoidance of doubt, NMI’s obligations under this clause shall not be considered breached in the absence of a formal determination of non-compliance by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) or relevant regulatory authority.

5. Confidentiality

5.1. “Confidential Information” means any information, whether written or oral and in any form or medium, that either party (“Disclosing Party“) discloses to the other party (“Receiving Party“) that is either designated as proprietary or confidential or that, by the nature of the circumstances surrounding disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as proprietary or confidential. Confidential Information includes, without limitation: data, trade secrets, know-how, samples, equipment, facilities, research (whether past, present, or future), products, product plans, services, documentation, customers, customer lists, user data, revenue, markets, software, intellectual property, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, source code, object code, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration, marketing, marketing materials, financial data, or other business information. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (including its financial terms) will be considered Confidential Information of NMI. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) the Receiving Party can document it had in its possession prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) was in or entered the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party legally entitled to make such disclosure without violation of any obligation of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. In addition, the Receiving Party will not be prohibited under this Agreement from making any disclosure required by valid law or court order, provided that before making any such required disclosure the Receiving Party will provide adequate advance written notice to the Disclosing Party, to the extent legally permissible, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any efforts to obtain a protective order or similar mechanism to contest or limit such disclosure.

5.2. Use and Return of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may not make any use whatsoever at any time of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except as necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, nor divulge the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to third parties except as permitted under this Agreement or with the express prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own non-public and confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable amount of care. The Receiving Party may only disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to employees or contractors on a “need to know” basis who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as this Agreement. Immediately upon request of the Disclosing Party, and in any case upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, the Receiving Party will promptly return—or, at the Disclosing Party’s option, destroy—all materials, in any medium, that contain, embody, reflect, reference, or are derived from any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party will be permitted to retain a copy of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information if and solely to the extent required under applicable law or by the Rules. In such case, the Receiving Party will retain its confidentiality obligations in accordance with this Section 5 with respect to such Confidential Information. NMI will be permitted to retain any information or data it collects or receives in connection with this Agreement (including Confidential Information and Personal Data) as required or requested (or anticipated to be required or requested) by any of the parties with whom NMI may share information under this Agreement. Additionally, NMI may retain archival copies of all Confidential Information stored in accordance with NMI’s backup policies.

5.3. Remedies. Each party acknowledges that any breach of this Section 5 would result in irreparable harm to the other party, for which money damages would be an insufficient remedy, and therefore the other party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 5 without the need to prove harm.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1. Ownership. As between Company and NMI, NMI (or its licensors and suppliers) owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Services and related technology, and all intellectual property rights associated therewith. No title to or ownership of any of the foregoing is granted or otherwise transferred to Company or any other entity or person under this Agreement. All rights granted hereunder are licensed, not sold, even if for convenience terms such as “purchase” or “sale” are used. Company will not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or trade secrets for any of Services or related technology, nor will Company use such Confidential Information to build any product or service that competes with the Services. Company agrees to promptly report to NMI any unauthorized use or infringement of the Services or any NMI intellectual property which comes to Company’s attention.

6.2. Restrictions. Company will not, and will not enable or permit any other person to: (a) use the Services in any manner other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement; (b) do anything to contest or impair the Services or NMI’s rights therein; (c) modify, copy, sell, lease, loan, sub-license, distribute, timeshare, transfer, create derivative works of (expect as expressly provided in this Agreement), disassemble, de-compile, or reverse engineer the Services; (d) attempt to extract the source code or source listings or any algorithm, data, process, procedure, or any other portion of the Services, or access any part of the Services in order to build a competing product or service; (e) remove, alter, distort, cover, or otherwise modify any legal notices, including any notice of proprietary rights, appearing on or included in any materials furnished or otherwise made available by NMI. Company will immediately notify NMI if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use of the Services; (f) circumvent any of the technical limitations of the software development kit (SDK), or decompile or otherwise reconstruct the Services; (g) use the Services in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or compromise the Services; (h) collect or harvest any information or data from the Services or attempt to decipher any transmissions to or from the Services; (i) use the Services to provide services to third parties or allow third parties to use the Services. The parties agree that all improvements, enhancements, modifications, or derivative works made from the Services by any party will be the exclusive property of NMI, even if suggested, designed, or submitted to NMI by Company. Company may not modify the Services in any way without NMI’s prior written consent. Company will immediately notify NMI if Company becomes aware of any unauthorized use or copying of the Services or any portion thereof.

6.3. Trademarks. Company will comply with all then-current policies, standards, and guidelines governing the use of NMI’s Trademarks, which are all subject to modification by NMI from time to time. Any use of NMI’s Trademarks must include a statement of ownership and attribution as directed by NMI. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the Trademarks identified by the other party as its own or its licensors belong to such party or its licensors, and neither party will obtain any right, title, or interest in or to the other party’s Trademark under this Agreement. All Trademark usage will inure to the benefit of the party owning such Trademark, and each party agrees to assign any right, title, and interest (other than the licenses granted under this Agreement) that it may obtain in the other party’s Trademark to such other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Company will not use, register, or attempt to register any of NMI’s Trademarks, or any other marks or domain names that are confusingly similar thereto or that may dilute any of NMI’s Trademarks, nor will Company create any combination mark which consists of or incorporates one or more of NMI’s Trademarks. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, Company will not take any actions inconsistent with NMI’s or its licensors’ ownership of their respective Trademarks and any associated registrations, or attack the validity thereof. Company will not sublicense or transfer the right to use NMI’s Trademarks to any third party without NMI’s express prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in NMI’s sole discretion. Company will not use (nor assist or permit any third party to use) NMI’s Trademarks in any manner that would indicate Company is using such NMI Trademarks other than as a licensee, or in any degrading, insulting, obscene, unlawful, or otherwise inappropriate manner. NMI reserves the right to revoke Company’s license to its Trademarks at any time, in its sole discretion, and upon receipt of notice of such revocation, Company agrees to immediately cease all use of NMI’s Trademarks.

6.4. Third Party Services. The Services may operate in conjunction with or be provided through software, hardware, or services provided by third parties (collectively, “Third Party Services“). Such Third Party Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions established by the applicable third party providers. Without limiting the foregoing, the privacy policies of such third parties may dictate how they may use information they receive from or about Company (which in some instances could include Personal Data). NMI will have no obligation with regard to, and makes no representation or warranty related to, Third Party Services or any third party terms, conditions, or agreements. Company will look solely to the providers of such Third Party Services with regard to warranty, maintenance, or other support. If the Third Party Services involve the processing of Company’s Personal Data, NMI will ensure that compliance to data protection Laws are adhered to, in line with NMI’s Data Processing Addendum.

6.5. Feedback. Company may from time to time provide suggestions, ideas, comments for enhancements or functionality or other feedback to NMI with respect to the Services. NMI will have the full, unencumbered right to copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, create derivative works of, use, and otherwise fully exploit such feedback in connection with its products and services, with no obligations of any kind to Company, whether respect to compensation, confidentiality, or otherwise.

7.3. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

8. Indemnification

8.1. By Company. Company will defend, indemnify, and hold NMI and its officers, directors, agents, and employees, harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, investigations and suits and all related internal costs, liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses) incurred by the above parties, arising out of or relating to: (a) Company’s breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation set forth in this Agreement; (b) negligence, fraud, dishonesty, or willful misconduct by Company or any of Company’s employees, agents or customers; (c) any alleged or actual violation by Company or its employees and agents of any Rules or Laws; (d) Company’s misuse or unauthorized use of the Services or any related software, hardware, equipment, or systems, including improper integration, configuration, or interfacing of Company’s or any third party’s system, software, or service with the Services; (e) any fees, fines, or assessments resulting from Company’s actions or omissions or Company’s use or misuse of the Services; (f) any data breach or any unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of Confidential Information of NMI, Personal Data, card information, or Merchant credentials from systems and networks controlled by Company or its Affiliates or service providers; or (g) any alleged infringement of a patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right by Company or arising from any data or other materials or technology supplied by Company or from Company’s use of the Services in unauthorized manner.

10.4. Relationship of the Parties; Non-Exclusivity.

10.6. Assignment. Company may not assign this Agreement or any of Company’s rights or delegate the performance of any of Company’s obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of NMI, including by operation of law or in connection with a merger, sale of assets, or change of control.

References to any agreement (including this Agreement), statute, regulation, rule, document, or deed will be construed as a reference to it as amended or novated from time to time in accordance with its terms. This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either party.

If Company does not agree to any such amendments, Company’s sole remedy is to immediately terminate this Agreement with written notice to NMI. Accordingly, Company’s continued use of the Services after notice to Company of any amendments or changes will constitute consent to such amendments or changes.

10.10. Waiver. The failure of any party to insist on or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or applicable law will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of the right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right, or remedy in that or any other instance. Waiver by either party of a breach of any provision contained herein must be in writing, and no such waiver will be construed as a waiver of any other and/or succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself.
