Platform Providers. Unless otherwise prohibited by Apple, You may employ or retain a Platform Provider to assist You in using and incorporating the Apple Pay Web APIs into Websites pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, provided that any such Platform Provider’s use of the Apple Pay Web APIs or any materials associated therewith, including Personal Data, is done solely on Your behalf and for Your purposes, and only in accordance with a separate written agreement between Apple and such Platform Provider. In the event of any actions or inactions by the Platform Provider that would constitute a violation of these Terms and Conditions or otherwise cause any harm, Apple reserves the right to require You to cease using such Platform Provider. In connection with Your use of a Platform Provider, You authorize such Platform Provider to (a) provide to Apple and its Affiliates certain reports that may contain data related to Your participation in the Program; and (b) disclose to Apple and its Affiliates information related to You and Your Websites in connection with these Terms and Conditions or the Program, including without limitation information about Your Websites and metadata (such disclosures referred to herein as “Merchant Disclosures”). You grant Apple the right and license to use any information described in (a) and (b) above for purposes of Apple (i) performing its obligations and exercising its rights under these Terms and Conditions, and (ii) improving the Apple Pay Platform or Program. You agree that Apple’s use of such Merchant Disclosures will not be subject to any confidentiality obligations. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Apple will be free to use and disclose any Merchant Disclosures on an unrestricted basis without notifying or compensating You. In connection with Apple’s exercise of any rights to suspend or terminate Your participation in the Program, You acknowledge and agree that Apple may request Your Platform Provider to suspend or terminate the Provider Agreement with respect to the provision of services in connection with the Program.
