Common use of Customer Authorization Clause in Contracts

Customer Authorization. Upon SS&C’s receipt of enrollment instructions from the Recipient, SS&C will make available an Authorization Request to Customer (point of contact) through the Distribution Support Services Web Site. Through the Distribution Support Services Web Site, the Customer’s point of contact is solely responsible for authorizing or denying each Recipient request for access to the product. When authorizing requests, security criteria must be verified by Customer. This includes verifying that each field authorized in the security criteria accurately represents the dealer/branch/representative, tax ID, or cumulative discount information or any additional data extract criteria requested that appears on the master of the Recipient’s clients’ accounts. 100% of the Recipient’s accounts should reflect the authorized criteria. Customer assumes all responsibility for verifying and approving the security level of each new Recipient authorization request. SS&C shall not be required to verify that the person who processes the Authorization Request is legally authorized to do so on behalf of Customer and SS&C shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such approval/denial without further duty to inquire. No Files will be made available until the request is authorized by Customer.
