GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Introduction. These general terms and conditions (“General Terms”) together with each Addendum, now or hereafter agreed to by the parties, are a part of the Information Technology Services Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”) between Bank of Marin of Novato, CA (“Client”) and Fidelity Information Services, LLC (together with its subsidiaries and Affiliates, “FIS”). The pricing attachment(s) related to each Addendum are incorporated into and made a part of such Addendum. “Affiliate” means, with respect to a party, any entity which directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by, or is under common control with such party.
2. Services. If an Addendum describes the provision of a service (“Service”) by FIS, the following subsections apply:
2.1 Commencement.
2.1.1 Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Amendment or Addendum to the Agreement, the “Commencement Date” of a Service that is not already in use by Client as of the Effective Date or is added thereafter is the earlier of:
(i) the date the Service is first installed and available for Client’s use in production;
(ii) Client’s first production use of the Service; or
(iii) the commencement date agreed upon by the parties in writing.
Upon the request of either party, the Commencement Date may be rescheduled to a new date that is mutually agreed upon in writing by both parties. If commencement of a Service is delayed for more than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date or the commencement date agreed upon by the parties, and such delay is not due to the acts or omissions of FIS, such as FIS’s failure to meet its obligations under the Agreement, then FIS may suspend delivery of the applicable Service and Client shall pay the one-time fees, if any, and begin paying the monthly minimum fees, if any, related thereto. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon a new date to commence the Service as soon as commercially practicable.
2.1.2 Each party shall dedicate sufficient resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel, to commence the Service (or Software, as applicable) as soon as practical following establishing the agreed upon commencement date.
2.1.3 Either party may postpone implementation of a Service, without penalty, if the other party fails to timely provide required information. In addition, FIS may postpone implementation of a Service if a circumstance arises that FIS reasonably believes may jeopardize the timely processing of transactions for other clients of FIS, and further, Client may request postponement of implementation of a Service if Client is actively in the process of acquiring a bank. Upon FIS’s receipt of such request, the parties will review the implementation(s) underway and the acquisition timeline and mutually agree to delay such implementation(s), without penalty, as necessary.
2.2 Exclusivity. Except as provided otherwise in an Addendum, Client agrees that FIS shall be Client’s sole and exclusive provider of each Service. If Client or any Affiliate of Client acquires any entity or accounts (collectively, “Acquired Accounts”) that require a service that is substantially similar to a Service provided under an Addendum ("Similar Service"), such Accounts shall become subject to the terms of the applicable Addendum in accordance with the following:
(i) If FIS is already providing the Similar Service for the Acquired Accounts on the same core processing system, then it shall continue to do so pursuant to its then-current term thereof and upon expiration of such pre-existing service agreement, the Acquired Accounts shall be processed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Addendum hereunder. If, however, FIS is providing the Similar Services for the Acquired Accounts on the same core processing system, then upon Client’s written request, the pre-existing service agreement shall be terminated and Acquired Accounts shall be processed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Addendum hereunder within the later to occur of (i) sixty (60) days of the FIS’s receipt of Client’s written request or (ii) the completion of Client’s acquisition. If the applicable fees for the services are greater than those under this Agreement, Client shall pay an early termination fee equal to the difference times the number of months remaining in the then-current term of the pre-existing services agreement. For example, as an illustration of how the early termination fee would be calculated under the preceding sentence, if Client purchases Bank A, which is on the same core processing system as Client, and Bank A has a core processing services invoice for fees in the amount of $[**CONFIDENTIAL**], while Client has a core processing services invoice for fees in the amount of $[**CONFIDENTIAL**] for Similar Services, then the early termination fee would be equal to the difference of $[**CONFIDENTIAL**] multiplied by the number of months remaining in the then-current term of Bank A’s pre-existing services agreement.
(ii) If a third party is providing the Similar Service for the Acquired Accounts, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to convert the Acquired Accounts to the Service within six (6) months after the acquisition or, if the Acquired Accounts are
subject to a pre-existing processing agreement between Client and such third party, upon the expiration of the then-remaining term of that pre-existing agreement.
(iii) Client shall pay FIS to perform the conversion at the rates set forth in the pricing attachment to the IBS Core Processing Services Addendum to this Agreement plus related material charges.
2.3 FIS Responsibilities.
2.3.1 If Client pays all applicable fees when due, FIS shall provide (i) Client and Client’s customers (“Customers”) with access to and use of the Service and Software in accordance with these General Terms, the applicable Addenda, and FIS’s then current standard user operating instructions and requirements made available to Client from time to time (“Specifications”), and (ii) Client with standard reporting, if any, associated with use of the Service or Software. FIS shall perform the Service and provide Software in compliance with all Laws applicable to FIS as a third party provider of that Service. “Law” means any law, rule or regulation, and guidelines issued by a regulatory body thereunder for which compliance by the party to whom it applies is required, ordinance, code, or order to which a party may be subject or under which a party may exercise rights. FIS represents and warrants that the Services will be provided in accordance with these General Terms, the applicable Addenda, and the Specifications.
2.3.2 FIS shall perform an on-going review of federal Laws applicable to the provision of the Services and Software. FIS shall at its expense maintain the features and functions for the Services and Software in accordance with all federal Laws applicable to such features and functions, including new or amended federal Laws (as applicable and necessary to support compliance obligations), in a non-custom environment. In addition, FIS shall, at Client’s request, work with Client in developing and implementing a suitable and commercially reasonable procedure or direction to enable Client to comply with state and local Laws applicable to the Services and Software being provided to Client, and, to the extent commercially possible, modify the manner in which FIS provides the Service prior to the regulatory deadline for such compliance. Any modification in a Service or Software necessitated by such a change in state or local Laws shall be paid for by Client, provided, however, that FIS will use commercially reasonable efforts to prorate the costs related to such modification among other participating clients to the extent practicable.
2.4 Client Responsibilities.
2.4.1 Client shall: (i) provide Customer information to FIS in accordance with the Specifications; (ii) except to the extent due to FIS’s material breach of the Agreement, assume all risk and liability associated with transactions, including any risk of counterfeit, charged-back or fraudulent transactions; (iii) use each Service in accordance with the Specifications; (iv) timely deliver any Data (defined below) or other information necessary for the provision of the Service in an electronic form and format approved by FIS; (v) be solely responsible for timely procuring any information or cooperation required from its Customers and suppliers or other third party in order to commence the Service; (vi) have sole responsibility for verifying the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of any Data furnished by Client or a third party; (vii) be solely responsible for training its employees and representatives to comply with all Laws applicable to Client and the procedures set forth in the Specifications or any manual or other literature provided to Client by FIS; (viii) comply with all Laws applicable to Client’s business and its use of a Service, including but not limited to those Laws relating to usury, truth-in-lending, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, automated clearing house transfers, networks associations, electronic funds transfer, privacy and direct marketing, regardless of whether Client uses any forms or other Materials supplied by FIS; and (ix) be responsible for providing FIS with notice of any changes in state or local Law that impact Client’s use of the Service.
2.4.2 Client shall be responsible for monitoring and interpreting (and for complying with, to the extent such compliance requires no action by FIS), the applicable Laws pertaining to Client’s business (“Legal Requirements”). Based on Client’s instructions, FIS shall implement the processing parameter settings, features and options (collectively, the “Parameters”) within FIS’s Services and systems that shall apply to Client, subject to the change request process in place between FIS and Client to establish requirements, development arrangements and deployment timelines. Client shall be responsible for determining that such selections are consistent with the Legal Requirements and with the terms and conditions of any agreements between Client and its Customers. In making such determinations, Client may rely upon the written descriptions of such Parameters contained in the Specifications. FIS shall perform the Services in accordance with the Parameters.
2.4.3 If a Service contemplates that FIS will be clearing or settling transactions and/or processing payments, then FIS, in its sole discretion, may require Client to establish and maintain a clearing or settlement account (“Settlement Account”) with a minimum balance determined by FIS in its reasonable discretion based upon the circumstances. Client shall maintain sufficient funds in the Settlement Account to cover any amounts required to facilitate the orderly processing and settlement of transactions, and is solely responsible for properly applying all credits and debits made to the Settlement Account. In the
event of any change to the Settlement Account so established by Client, Client shall promptly notify FIS in writing of such change, but no later than within three (3) business days of the change taking place.
2.5 Data.
2.5.1 Client shall be solely responsible for the transmission of any information, data, records or documents (collectively, “Data”) necessary for FIS to perform a Service at Client’s expense, and shall bear any risk of loss resulting from that transmission until FIS confirms receipt. FIS shall bear the risk of loss resulting from Data transmitted to Client until Client confirms receipt. If Client directs FIS to disclose Data to a third party, Client shall provide FIS with written authorization to do so and bear any risk of loss or liability associated with that disclosure. In addition, FIS shall be held harmless from any claim resulting from the third party’s use of that Data, and may, in its discretion, require the third party to enter into a written agreement with FIS governing disclosure of that Data.
2.5.2 FIS shall not be responsible for the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of any Data furnished by Client or a third party, and shall have no obligation to audit, check or verify that Data. If any Data submitted by Client or a third party to FIS is incorrect, incomplete or not in the required format, FIS may require Client to resubmit the Data or FIS may correct the Data and xxxx Client its then current rates for performing those corrections. FIS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Client prior to Client incurring such expense.
2.5.3 Client shall maintain a copy of all Data submitted to FIS (whether directly or through a third party) to permit reconstruction if ever required. Client assumes all risk and expense associated with Data reconstruction, except for those expenses incurred as a direct consequence of FIS’s negligence or breach of its obligations under the Agreement. If Data reconstruction is ever required, the parties shall mutually agree on a schedule for that reconstruction.
2.6 Disaster Recovery. In accordance with FFIEC business continuity guidelines, FIS has put in place a disaster recovery plan designed to minimize the risks associated with a disaster affecting FIS’s ability to provide the Services under the Agreement. FIS’s recovery time objective (RTO) under such plan is as set forth in the continuity program summary document made available to Client. FIS will maintain adequate backup procedures in order to recover Client’s Data to the point of the last available good backup, with a recovery point objective (RPO) as set forth in the continuity program summary document made available to Client. FIS will test its disaster recovery plan annually. Upon request, FIS will provide a summary of its disaster recovery plan and test results, excluding any proprietary information or NPI. Client authorizes FIS to provide Client’s Data to external suppliers in order to test and prepare for disaster recovery, as well as provide replacement services in the event of a disaster. Client is responsible for adopting a disaster recovery plan relating to disasters affecting Client’s facilities and for securing business interruption insurance or other insurance necessary for Client’s protection.
2.7 Changes to Services. FIS may change any features, functions, brand, third party provider, or attributes of a Service, or any element of its systems or processes, or Specifications, from time to time, provided that neither the functionality of nor any applicable fees and charges for such Service are materially adversely affected. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any such change made by FIS, pursuant to the preceding sentence, has a material adverse impact on the functionality of or fees and cost for a Service, Client may elect to terminate the affected Service and Addendum pursuant to Section 16.1(i) of these General Terms, subject to the cure period thereunder, without invoking liquidated damages under Section 16.3. Client shall not rely on identification of specific brands associated with or names of third party providers of a Service as an obligation of FIS to use any particular brand or third party provider. If Client requests a change to a Service, the parties shall negotiate the terms for such change, which terms will be set forth in a mutually agreed upon statement of work (“SOW”).
2.8 Transition Assistance. Upon termination of the Agreement or an Addendum, FIS shall cooperate in the transition of the Services to Client or a replacement service provider and, if requested by Client, perform ancillary services for additional fees. However, no master files, transaction data, test data, record layouts or other similar information shall be provided by FIS until: (i) Client and, if applicable, the replacement service provider, have executed FIS’s deconversion confidentiality agreement; (ii) Client has fully paid all outstanding amounts that are not the subject of a good faith dispute by Client pursuant to Section 7.5; (iii) Client has completely prepaid FIS’s fees for deconversion assistance notwithstanding any good faith dispute by Client (in which case, such amounts shall be prepaid and not withheld while the parties will conduct discussions pursuant to Section 7.5); and (iv) the parties mutually agree on a date for deconversion that is at least [**CONFIDENTIAL**] following FIS's receipt of Client’s notice of deconversion. If the [**CONFIDENTIAL**] period ends between the third week of November and the third week of January, the time period for completing deconversion may be extended until the first week of February. In addition, upon termination of the Agreement, FIS may, at Client's request and expense, continue to provide the corresponding Service(s) until the deconversion is completed, provided the parties agree to such continuation in writing.
2.9 Problem Reporting and Resolution. Client shall timely report any problems encountered with the Service. FIS shall provide a toll-free telephone number for problem reporting. FIS shall promptly respond to each reported problem based on its severity, the impact on Client's operations and the effect on the Service. FIS shall use reasonable commercial efforts to
either resolve each problem or provide Client with information to enable Client's personnel to resolve it. Through FIS’s standard client support process, FIS will maintain a tracking log for problems reported by Client and a problem escalation process for such reported problems. FIS will notify Client as soon as commercially practical when FIS becomes aware of a platform or system problem that FIS reasonably believes will adversely impact the processing by FIS of Clients Data and/or transactions.
3. Third Party Services. If an Addendum describes the provision of a product or service provided by a third party, whether such product or service is requested or required by Client or is otherwise specified in the Addendum as a service or product that is provided by a third party (“Third Party Service”), the following subsections also apply:
3.1 Client acknowledges that FIS is not the provider of any Third Party Service, and Client shall, if required by FIS, enter into a separate agreement for the Third Party Service directly with the applicable provider. FIS makes no warranties or representations of any kind regarding the correctness, accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness of any Third Party Service or any associated data, information or system. FIS will pass through to Client end-user warranties to the extent received by FIS from Third Party Service providers.
3.2 If a Third Party Service is terminated prior to the end of its term either (i) by Client or by FIS at Client’s request, or (ii) as a result of Client’s action or inaction, Client shall pay FIS, except in the event a breach of the Addendum or non-performance of the Service by FIS or the applicable third party, in addition to any other amounts owed, an amount equal to any termination costs and fees incurred or owing by FIS as a result of such termination. FIS shall not be required to refund Client any pre-paid amounts, except if and to the extent that FIS receives a refund of such amounts from the third party.
4. Use of Service, Software, and Third Party Service. Except as otherwise permitted in the Agreement or in writing by FIS, Client agrees to use a Service, Third Party Service and/or Software only for its own internal business purposes to service its U.S.-based accounts for its Customers and will not sell or otherwise provide, directly or indirectly, any of the Service, Third Party Service, Software or any portion thereof to any third party. Client agrees that FIS may use all suggestions for improvement and comments regarding the Service, Third Party Service, or Software that are furnished by Client to FIS in connection with the Agreement, without accounting or reservation. Except as otherwise may be set forth herein or in writing between the parties, Client shall be responsible for handling all Customer inquiries relating to a Service or Third Party Service. The term “Software” as used in these General Terms means, individually or collectively, any software and/or interfaces licensed to Client by FIS or its Affiliates pursuant to a Software License and Maintenance Addendum to the Agreement.
5. Materials. As a convenience, FIS may provide Client with sample forms, procedures, scripts, marketing materials or other similar information (collectively, “Materials”). Client shall have a license to use Materials, if any, solely in connection with its use of the Services, Software, or Deliverables during the term of the related Addendum and solely in a manner that is consistent with the Specifications. Client’s license to use the Materials shall expire immediately upon termination of the Agreement or the related Addendum. Client is responsible for its use of Materials and bears sole liability for any such use.
6. Training. Except as may be provided otherwise in the applicable Addendum, FIS will provide its standard initial train-the-trainer training regarding the use and operation of the Service, Third Party Service or Software to Client by web-based training or in person at an FIS training location (in which case, travel would be at Client’s expense) at FIS’s then current rates and on a mutually agreed date and time. Following such initial training, Client is responsible for its trainer(s) training Client’s employees on the use and operation of the Service, Third Party Service or Software. Additional training may be provided by FIS upon Client’s request, including onsite training at Client’s location, as mutually agreed to by the parties regarding topics, duration and fees and expenses.
7. Fees and Other Charges.
7.1 Client shall pay all fees and charges set forth in the pricing attachment(s) to an Addendum. Any one-times fees set forth in the pricing attachment to an Addendum shall be paid as follows: (i) [**CONFIDENTIAL**] upon execution of the Agreement (or the applicable Amendment), and (ii) the remaining [**CONFIDENTIAL**] upon the applicable Commencement Date, unless provided otherwise in an Addendum or pricing attachment thereto. Recurring fees shall be paid beginning on the Commencement Date; provided, however that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 18.6 below, for any Service and/or Software in use by Client as of the Effective Date, Client shall continue to pay the recurring fees applicable to such Services and/or Software under Client’s prior agreement with FIS for such Services and/or Software up to the Commencement Date. All third party fees and charges outside of FIS’s control, and any adjustments thereto from time to time, including, without limitation, postage, supplies, courier, data transmission, and telecommunications expenses, will be passed through to client at FIS’s cost for such items. Beginning on January 1, 2014 and thereafter during the term, FIS may increase the recurring fees by an amount not exceeding, in aggregate effect, [**CONFIDENTIAL**] or the ECI (as defined below), whichever is less, but not more than once annually. These adjustments will be effective upon FIS’s notification thereof to Client. Fees, costs and expenses owed by Client are exclusive of charges for materials, work, hardware, software or travel not otherwise detailed in an Addendum, SOW, or pricing attachment. If travel by FIS is required in connection with providing
the Services or Deliverables hereunder, FIS will seek Client’s approval prior to undertaking such travel, which will include providing Client with an estimate of the fees and charges related thereto. “ECI” means the percentage change in the U.S. Employment Cost Index – Civilian: All Workers total compensation, calculated by averaging the annual percentage change reported for the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding each anniversary of the Effective Date, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (xxx.xxx.xxx).
7.2 Client agrees that the ACH account information specified by Client in the Agreement (“FIS Payment Account”) may be utilized by FIS for ACH debits to settle: (i) any fees, charges or other amounts owed to FIS by Client; (ii) third party fees, charges, fines, or assessments (including, but not limited to, interchange fees or other payment system or network fees or charges); and (iii) any payments or deposits received from or on behalf of Client. Client shall maintain sufficient funds in the FIS Payment Account to cover any amounts owed to FIS, and is solely responsible for properly applying all credits and debits made to the FIS Payment Account by FIS. Client shall notify FIS in writing of any change in FIS Payment Account information within three (3) business days of occurrence. In the event FIS does not collect amounts owed from the FIS Payment Account, Client must pay such amounts within thirty (30) days of the invoice being delivered or made available to Client. For any amount not paid within such thirty day period, Client shall pay a late fee equal to [**CONFIDENTIAL**] for each day past the thirty (30) day payment period. Any disputed amount under Section 7.5 below will not be subject to a late fee.
7.3 Any over-billing or under-billing of amounts due hereunder shall only be corrected within the six (6) month period that follows the occurrence thereof, with the exception of any third party pass-through fees and charges, including, but not limited to, payment network fees and charges. If Client was over-billed, FIS will correct the error in the form of a credit to Client on the next invoice. If Client was under-billed, FIS will add the under-billed amount to a future invoice. FIS may utilize any amounts owed to Client under the Agreement to pay or reimburse FIS for amounts owed by Client.
7.4 All charges and fees to be paid by Client under the Agreement are exclusive of any applicable withholding, sales, use, excise, value added or other taxes. Any such taxes for which FIS is legally or contractually responsible to collect from Client shall be billed by FIS and paid by Client. Client agrees to reimburse or indemnify FIS for any taxes, penalties and interest assessed by any taxing authority arising out of the Agreement. FIS shall pay and hold Client harmless for any taxes on FIS property, income or payroll. Client agrees to hold FIS harmless for any sales, use, excise, value added or other taxes assessed by a taxing authority arising out of the Agreement. In the event of any assessment by a taxing authority, both parties agree to cooperate with each other to resolve issues in order to minimize such assessment.
7.5 Disputed Amounts. If Client disputes any charge or amount on any invoice and such dispute cannot be resolved promptly through good-faith discussions between the parties, Client shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement minus the disputed amount (with the exception of amounts due pursuant to Section 2.8(iii)), and the parties shall diligently proceed to resolve such disputed amount. If, however, the parties are unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, to resolve the disputed amount, the dispute may be resolved in accordance with the process set forth in Section 18.2 of these General Terms. An amount will be considered disputed in good faith if: (i) Client delivers a written statement to FIS, on or before the due date of the invoice, describing in detail the basis of the dispute and the amount being withheld by Client, (ii) such written statement represents that the amount in dispute has been determined after due investigation of the facts and that such disputed amount has been determined in good faith, and (iii) all other amounts due from Client that are not in dispute have been paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Client’s right to assert claims under this Agreement shall be subject to Client’s payment in full of previously invoiced, past due amounts that have not been disputed in accordance with this Section 7.5.
8. Intellectual Property.
8.1 Client is not acquiring a copyright, patent or other intellectual property right in any Service, Third Party Service, Software, Deliverable, Specifications or Materials, or in any data, modifications, customizations, enhancements, changes or work product related thereto. “Deliverable” means any work product or other item (whether tangible or intangible) created by FIS or provided by FIS to Client pursuant to the Services, Third Party Services, or Software, and which may be described more particularly in an Addendum, SOW, or other document signed by the parties.
8.2 Any intellectual property rights that existed prior to the Effective Date of an Addendum shall belong solely to the party owning them at that time. Neither party shall be entitled to any copyright, trademark, trade name, trade secret or patent of the other party.
8.3 Client shall not alter, obscure or revise any proprietary, restrictive, trademark or copyright notice included with, affixed to, or displayed in, on or by a Service, Third Party Service, Software, Deliverable or Specifications.
9. Confidentiality; Information Security.
9.1 Confidentiality.
9.1.1 Each party shall treat information received from the other that is designated as “confidential” at or prior to disclosure ("Confidential Information") as strictly confidential. FIS designates the Services, Third Party Services, Software, Deliverables, Specifications and the terms of the Agreement, and all information related to the foregoing, as it’s Confidential Information. Client designates Customer information that qualifies as “Non-public Personal Information” under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 or its state law equivalents (“NPI”) ) as its Confidential Information.
9.1.2 Each party shall: (i) restrict disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information to employees, agents and Affiliates solely on a "need to know" basis in accordance with the Agreement; provided, however, that FIS may use, disclose, and archive Data including, without limitation, Client’s Confidential Information, provided that FIS shall first aggregate all such Data and remove any NPI prior to any disclosure to third-parties not bound by the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement; (ii) advise its employees and agents of their confidentiality obligations; (iii) require agents to protect and restrict the use of the other party’s Confidential Information; (iv) use the same degree of care to protect the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to safeguard its own Confidential Information of similar importance, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care; (v) establish procedural, physical and electronic safeguards, designed to meet the objectives of the FFIEC Interagency Guidelines, to prevent the compromise or unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. Client shall notify FIS of any breach of FIS’ Confidential Information as soon as possible following determination of such breach. FIS shall notify Client of any breach of NPI as soon as possible following determination of such breach, and shall comply with all federal and state laws regarding NPI that are applicable to it as a third party processor.
9.1.3 Confidential Information shall remain the property of the party from or through whom it was provided. Except for NPI, neither party shall be obligated to preserve the confidentiality of any information that: (i) was previously known; (ii) is a matter of public knowledge; (iii) was or is independently developed; (iv) is released for disclosure with written consent; or (v) is received from a third party to whom it was disclosed without restriction. Disclosure of Confidential Information shall be permitted if it is: (a) required by law; (b) in connection with the tax treatment or tax structure of the Agreement; or (c) in response to a valid order of a U.S. court or other governmental body, provided the owner receives written notice and is afforded a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order. Upon termination of an Addendum, each party shall, except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.2(i) above, destroy the other party’s Confidential Information relating to that Addendum in a manner designed to preserve its confidentiality, or, at the other party’s written request and expense, return it to the disclosing party. Upon termination of the Agreement, each party shall destroy any remaining Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner or, if so requested, return it to the disclosing party at its expense.
9.1.4 Client shall not file the Agreement (including any Addendum, schedule, supplement or attachment), or any future amendment or supplement hereto, with the US. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") unless such filing is required under Item 601 of Regulation S-K. In the event that Client determines that the Agreement (or amendment or supplement) must be filed with the SEC under Regulation S-K, Client shall take all actions necessary to obtain confidential treatment of all Addenda, schedules, supplements and attachments (including all pricing attachments) and to the extent possible, the Agreement, in accordance with Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933. Specifically, and without limitation, Client shall omit all Addenda, schedules, supplements and attachments (including all pricing attachments) from the material filed with the SEC and, in lieu thereof, shall indicate in the material filed that the Confidential Information has been so omitted and filed separately with the SEC. Client shall file all Addenda, schedules, supplements and attachments (including all pricing attachments) so as to maintain the confidentiality of the documents, and shall file an application making an objection to the disclosure of these materials. If the SEC denies the application, Client will seek review of the decision under Rule 431.
9.2 Information Security. In the event that there has been an unauthorized disclosure of critical, sensitive or confidential Client Data (as defined below) by FIS or a security breach (as such term is defined by applicable state security breach notification laws and/or federal law) in FIS’s security, which impacts Client Data, FIS shall notify Client of such unauthorized disclosure or security breach as soon as reasonably practicable after the disclosure or breach, but in no event later than within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] business days of FIS’s making a determination that there has been such a disclosure or breach. Client acknowledges that FIS will be cooperating and assisting with law enforcement and other state or federal regulator(s) in the investigation of a security breach or unauthorized disclosure, including providing information necessary to facilitate such investigation.

16. Termination and Additional Remedies.
16.1 Termination. In addition to any other remedies, either party may terminate the Agreement or an Addendum on thirty (30) days advance written notice if the other party: (i) fails to cure a material breach of the terms of this Agreement (including a failure to comply with the Specifications) within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice to do so; (ii) is the subject of a dissolution, reorganization, insolvency or bankruptcy action that is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days of being filed; (iii) suffers the appointment of a receiver, conservator or trustee; (iv) commits any act related to the Service with the intent to defraud the other party; or (v) discontinues performance under the Agreement because of a binding order of a court or regulatory body. Either party may also terminate a Service or Software on thirty (30) days advance written notice if the other party fails to cure a material breach related to such Service or Software within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice to do so. If a breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days (as set forth in Section 16.1(i) above), the non-breaching party may not terminate the Service or Software so long as the breaching party promptly commences work and completes correction within ninety (90) days of receiving written notice of the breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FIS may terminate the Agreement or an Addendum if Client (a) fails to maintain required balances in the Settlement Account associated with a Service, and fails to remedy that deficiency within forty-eight (48) hours of FIS requesting it to do so, (b) fails to cure any material violation of applicable Law within thirty (30) days of FIS requesting it to do so, or (c) sells, transfers or assigns all or substantially all of its Service-related accounts to a third party that does not agree in writing with FIS to be bound by the terms of the Agreement.
16.2 In addition to the termination rights set forth above, FIS may terminate a Service, in whole or in part, without penalty, if FIS’s agreement to use any third-party software or service upon which the Service relies expires or is terminated; provided, however, that prior to any such termination, FIS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) extend the applicable expiration or termination date so that its provision of the Service hereunder is not interrupted; (ii) procure a third-party software or service similar to the expired or terminated software or service in order to continue to deliver the Service without interruption and without reduction in quality or increase in cost to Client; or (iii) develop another workaround that allows Client to continue to receive the Service without interruption and without reduction in quality or increase in cost. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any such workaround developed by FIS pursuant to subsection (iii) has a material adverse impact on the quality of or fees and cost for the applicable Service, Client may elect to terminate such Service pursuant to Section 16.1(i) of these General Terms, subject to the cure period thereunder, without invoking liquidated damages under Section 16.3.
16.3 Liquidated Damages. If a Service is terminated by FIS for Client’s uncured (if a cure period if applies) breach or prior to the end of its term pursuant to the terms of Section 16.1 above or as otherwise specifically provided in an Addendum, or if Client terminates a Service prior to the end of its term except as otherwise permitted hereunder, then Client shall pay FIS, in addition to any other amounts owed, liquidated damages equal to: (i) the greater of (a) [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of the average monthly fees incurred for each such Service during the preceding six (6) months (or, during such shorter period if the Service has been in production for less than six (6) months), (b) any minimum fees due for each such Service, or (c) the estimated monthly charge for the Service (as set forth in the applicable pricing attachment), in each case multiplied by the number of months remaining in the then current period applicable to the Service; (ii) any out of pocket expenses directly incurred by FIS as a consequence of the termination; (iii) any credits or incentives given to Client by FIS on or before the Commencement Date of a Service; plus (iv) any unpaid one-time fees relating to each terminated Service. Client shall not be entitled to a refund of any pre-paid amounts. If termination of the obligation to provide such Service occurs prior to the Commencement Date of any such Services, then the amount due under subsection (i) above will be calculated using the minimum monthly amount due for each such Service, if any, or the estimated monthly charge (as set forth in the pricing
attachment). For the avoidance of doubt, any Service that is specifically designated as a non-exclusive service in the applicable Addendum will not be subject to liquidated damages.
16.4 FIS received a letter from the FDIC dated February 28, 2012 that detailed certain Matters Requiring Attention (the “MRAs”). FIS developed an action plan to address and remedy the MRAs, and the FDIC reviewed FIS’s action plan to confirm that the plan will address and resolve the MRAs. FIS has committed to preparing a quarterly update on its efforts to address the MRAs, and will use reasonable commercial efforts to provide the update to Client (directly or via the FIS Client Portal) on or before the 15th day of the following month. The FDIC may have follow-up comments on the MRAs and, FIS will implement other appropriate corrective actions, as applicable, in accordance with the FDIC’s recommendations. If (i) FIS does not create an action plan to address the FDIC’s follow-up comments on the MRAs within 60 days after receiving written notice of the FDIC’s follow-up comments, and does not cure any failure to deliver an adequate action plan within 45 days following written notice of a deficiency from the FDIC, or (ii) FIS’s rating under the Uniform Rating System for Information Technology (URSIT) is downgraded to “4” or “5”, then FIS will promptly notify of such failure or downgrade and Client may (but shall not be required to) terminate the contract without payment of Liquidated Damages or standard and customary conversion fees

3.3.1 Client acknowledges and agrees that FIS is not a “third party processor” as that term is used in the General Terms. Accordingly, the last sentence of Section 9.1.2 (Confidentiality) of the General Terms shall not be applicable to FIS in the provision of the Services contemplated by this Addendum. In lieu of the last sentence of Section 9.1.2 of the General Terms, the following shall apply:

Client acknowledges and agrees that FIS obtains certain of its data from third party sources (such as one or more of the credit bureaus or consumer reporting agencies) (“External Suppliers”) and that such data may or may not be completely thorough or accurate. As such, Client shall not rely on FIS for the accuracy or completeness of information supplied through the Services. Client acknowledges that all decisions made with respect to consumers are made solely by Client.
4.2 The QualiFile® model(s) are empirically derived and demonstrably and statistically sound and, to the extent the population to which the QualiFile® model(s) are applied is similar to the population sample on which the QualiFile® model(s) were developed, the QualiFile® model(s) may be relied upon by Client to rank consumers in the order of the risk of unsatisfactory deposit account management such consumers might present to Client. In addition, Client understands and acknowledges that the Service(s) do not serve as positive identification of the consumer or of the status of the consumer's accounts. If Client determines that the results of any Service are inaccurate, Client shall notify FIS of the potential inaccuracy and FIS will use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate and, if necessary, correct the inaccurate results.
4.3 Except as required to comply with Laws, or as otherwise set forth in the Specifications or this Addendum, Client hereby represents and warrants that it will not, either directly or indirectly, for itself or through any agent or third party: (i) compile, store, maintain or use the Services or data provided by FIS through the Services (“FIS Data”) to build its own database; or (ii) copy or otherwise reproduce the Services or FIS Data. Client shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the storage, delivery and transmission of FIS Data is done in a secure and confidential manner that complies with the Agreement. Client further represents and warrants that it will use FIS Data in accordance with all Laws.

Client agrees to follow FIS’s policies and procedures with respect to account maintenance, as may be set forth in the Specifications or as otherwise communicated to Client in writing from time to time. Client further agrees to conduct quarter-annual quality control reviews to ensure all current users are appropriately authorized.

If Client fails to cure the breach to FIS’s reasonable satisfaction within [**CONFIDENTIAL**], or if Client has previously breached any of the access, use, storage, disclosure or credentialing provisions governing the Service, then FIS shall be entitled to immediately terminate the affected Service. Client agrees to cooperate fully with any investigations into any potential misuse of the Services.

Client shall take all reasonable measures to identify consumers and to obtain and accurately provide FIS with complete consumer identifications. If required by applicable Law, Client may share the contents of a consumer report received from FIS with the subject consumer, provided Client does so without charge.

5.2.2 Client shall exclusively request authorization from FIS for all Checks (as defined below) which are drawn on U.S. or Canadian domiciled financial institutions (“Institution(s)”) in U.S. dollars presented for cash at the facilities listed on the appropriate attachment to this Addendum (collectively, "Location(s)"). “Check(s)” are defined as (a) third party payroll; (b) insurance agency checks; (c) cashier’s checks; (d) money orders; (e) rebate checks; (f) stock dividend checks; (g) checks issued by a Business (as defined below) to one or two persons; (h) checks from a third party tax preparation firm and government tax refund checks; and (i) federal, state and municipal government checks, excluding tax refund checks.

The Check must be payable to the person(s) presenting the Check (“Payee(s)”) to be cashed (the “Check Xxxxxx

For Checks issued to two Payees, the Check must be payable without condition and without recourse, both Payees must have properly endorsed the Check and the Check Xxxxxx must be one of the Payees of the Check.

5.2.5 Client shall not request authorization from FIS for a Check: (a) that was previously denied authorization based upon the same or different information; provided that Client may request authorization following a denial in the event the information was originally entered incorrectly; or (b) whose face amount exceeds $[**CONFIDENTIAL**] for Business Checks, $[**CONFIDENTIAL**] for Government Checks, and $[**CONFIDENTIAL**] for Tax Refund Checks (collectively the “Check Limit(s)”). A Check meeting any of these conditions shall be deemed unauthorized and ineligible for warranty coverage, even if an authorization number is obtained.
5.2.6 Client recognizes and agrees that in order for FIS to control Losses due to dishonored checks and maintain the fees for the Service, Client must maintain and enforce at all times a check acceptance policy which includes all of the requirements listed below (the “Check Policy”):

(c) the Check Xxxxxx’x U.S. or Canadian street address, zip code and ten (10) digit telephone number, or, in the case of a Check Xxxxxx with no telephone number, the words "No Phone" are written on the Check at the time of the authorization request;
(d) the Check is dated within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] prior to the date and deposited within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of the date Client requested authorization; and Client submits to FIS all required Checks that comply with this Addendum that are dishonored (“Warranty Claim”) documents (as specified herein), so that they are postmarked no more than [**CONFIDENTIAL**] from the authorization date;
(e) the corresponding FIS authorization number and the Check Xxxxxx’x License Number, or other approved identification number, were written on the Check at the time of authorization;

Accordingly, Client shall maintain and enforce, and train its staff to comply with this Check Policy to ensure that the requirements of this subsection 5.2.6 are followed. If Client maintains and enforces the Check Policy, FIS shall pay Client for a Warranty Claim that qualifies for warranty coverage under this Addendum, even if that Check fails to meet all the requirements of this subsection 5.2.6. Client’s failure to maintain and enforce the Check Policy may result in an increase to the fees payable under this Addendum.

(h) Client did not redeposit the Check more than one time after its initial dishonor;

(j) Client maintains and enforces a Check Policy in accordance with subsection 5.2.6; and
(k) Client followed, as directed, all special instructions of a Restrictive Legend on the Check.
5.2.8 In the event that a Check that complies with subsection 5.2.6 is not honored by the applicable Institution, FIS shall pay Client, on behalf of the Check Xxxxxx and Business, the face amount of the Check (which face amount shall not exceed the Check Limit) upon receipt of the Warranty Claim. Required Warranty Claim documents postmarked more than [**CONFIDENTIAL**] from the Check date will be ineligible for warranty coverage. If Warranty Claim documents are forwarded to FIS by someone other than Client, Client shall remain responsible for compliance with all terms of the Agreement. Client shall be solely responsible for replacing any required documentation if it is lost, stolen or misplaced.
5.2.9 FIS shall pay Warranty Claims within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] after their receipt and approval; provided that, due to seasonal volume, payment of Warranty Claims for Checks dated in December or January may be paid up to [**CONFIDENTIAL**] after their receipt and approval. FIS may not authorize a Check for reasons other than derogatory information relating to a Business or Check Xxxxxx. Accordingly, Client should exercise its own judgment in determining whether or not to accept a Check and should not draw any adverse conclusions about the credit worthiness of a Business or Check Xxxxxx if a Check is not authorized. FIS's payment of Warranty Claims for authorized Checks shall satisfy any and all obligations of FIS in connection with this Addendum, and shall be Client's sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses relating to FIS or its performance under this Addendum.
5.2.10 Subrogation and Assignment. Client is authorized to negotiate and be paid for Checks it receives in the ordinary course of its business unless otherwise instructed in writing by FIS following an "Event of Default", as defined below. Client's submission of a Warranty Claim shall be deemed an immediate assignment and subrogation of all right, title and interest in the corresponding Check to FIS. Client shall do whatever is necessary to secure FIS's right, title and interest in Warranty Claim Checks; shall cooperate with FIS in its confirmation of such right, title and interest; shall do nothing to prejudice
such right, title or interest; and shall do nothing to impair FIS's ability to collect those Checks. In its capacity as assignee and/or subrogee, FIS is authorized to collect authorized Checks in its own name and on its own account. Client irrevocably authorizes and appoints FIS as its attorney-in-fact to: (a) prepare, execute and file statements, notices to financial institutions and other papers which FIS deems appropriate to acknowledge, confirm or perfect its rights and interest in authorized Checks; (b) sign any law enforcement reports, affidavits or other papers which are necessary to prosecute a Business or Check Xxxxxx; and (c) collect returned Checks, together with service charges and permissible damages. Client shall, upon request, reasonably cooperate with and assist in collection efforts and/or the prosecution of a Business or Check Xxxxxx, including making its employees and agents reasonably available to testify.
5.2.11 Reporting. Client shall notify FIS's Merchant Accounting Department immediately by telephone, with the Check Xxxxxx’x and Business identities, of any payment received on a Check that has been submitted to FIS as a Warranty Claim. Client shall comply with FIS's instructions for processing such payments. When a Check Xxxxxx or Business claims to have paid Client directly, in whole or in part, Client shall provide any and all available information reasonably requested by FIS to verify the status of such Warranty Claim within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of receipt of such request (the "Verification Request"). In the event Client fails to comply with the Verification Request, FIS may treat that Warranty Claim as paid in full by the Check Xxxxxx or Business and, at FIS’s election, offset or recoup any amount FIS paid to Client from any amount owed Client.
5.2.12 Notices Required To Be Displayed At Point-Of-Sale. Client shall display FIS supplied notices at the point-of-sale at each of its Locations, as well as in any catalogs or mail-order forms, so that they are clearly visible to all Check Cashers, including, but not limited to: (a) any notice that is required by applicable Laws and automated clearing house (“ACH”) rules; and (b) a service charge notice that applies to all dishonored Checks and electronic transactions. FIS may modify those notices, from time to time, by providing advance written notice to Client. If Client fails to display the most current form of notice, Client shall be responsible to reimburse FIS for any amounts FIS is unable to collect, or incurs, as a result of that failure.
5.2.13 Limitation of Liability For Paycheck Accept Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, FIS’s total liability for the Paycheck Accept Service is limited in all cases and in the aggregate to [**CONFIDENTIAL**]. In addition, all statements, invoice and reports shall be considered final if FIS has not received from Client written notice of any disputed item(s) within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of the statement date. Under no circumstances shall FIS be liable for any Losses caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by: (a) incorrect or incomplete Check or Business Data; or (b) any failure not directly attributable to FIS. FIS shall not be liable for any Losses unless Client provides written notice of the event that gave rise to the alleged liability within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of its occurrence.
5.2.14 Additional Remedies. In addition to any other remedies at law or in equity to which it is entitled, FIS reserves the right to suspend its performance or terminate the Paycheck Accept Service during any period in which Client is in default for more than [**CONFIDENTIAL**] or commits any act with the intent to defraud FIS (collectively, "Event of Default”). FIS may offset or recoup the amount of any erroneous payments to Client or other amounts due FIS against or from any amounts owed Client for payment of Warranty Claims or otherwise, or at its election, obtain reimbursement from Client on demand. FIS shall at all times be entitled to suspend payment of amounts due Client to determine the amount subject to any offset or recoupment.
5.3 If, as indicated in the pricing attachment, Client purchases any “Consumer Report Service – Prescreen” set forth on Attachment 1, Client shall extend a firm offer of credit, as required by applicable Law. Client will not disclose the selection criteria used as part of the Service to any consumer or other third party, including without limitation, to a third party processor.

5.5.1 The Services and related FIS Data shall be requested for the exclusive use of Client, maintained by Client as Confidential Information, and disclosed only to Client’s employees whose duties reasonably relate to the permissible use for which the FIS Data was requested (see Attachment 1).

5.8 If, as indicated in the pricing attachment, Client purchases an “Interface Service” set forth on Attachment 1, the following subsections apply:

NOTICE TO FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION: OBLIGATIONS OF FURNISHERS UNDER THE FCRA
The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681y, imposes responsibilities on all persons who furnish information to consumer reporting agencies (CRAs). These responsibilities are found in Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx XXXX, 00 X.X.X. 0000x-0. State law may impose additional requirements on furnishers. All furnishers of information to CRAs should become familiar with the applicable laws and may want to consult with their counsel to ensure that they are in compliance. The text of the FCRA is set forth in full at the Website of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC): xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx. A list of the sections of the FCRA cross referenced to the U.S. Code is at the end of this document.
Section 623 imposes the following duties upon furnishers:
Accuracy Guidelines
The banking and credit union regulators and the FTC will promulgate guidelines and regulations dealing with the accuracy of information provided to CRAs by furnishers. The regulations and guidelines issued by the FTC will be available at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx when they are issued. Section 623(e).
General Prohibition on Reporting Inaccurate Information
The FCRA prohibits information furnishers from providing information to a CRA that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. However, the furnisher is not subject to this general prohibition if it clearly and conspicuously specifies an address to which consumers may write to notify the furnisher that certain information is inaccurate. Sections 623(a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(C).
Duty to Correct and Update Information
If at any time a person who regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to one or more CRAs determines that the information provided is not complete or accurate, the furnisher must promptly provide complete and accurate information to the CRA. In addition, the furnisher must notify all CRAs that received the information of any corrections, and must thereafter report only the complete and accurate information. Section 623(a)(2).
Duties After Notice of Dispute from consumer
If a consumer notifies a furnisher, at an address specified for the furnisher for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate, and the information is, in fact, inaccurate, the furnisher must thereafter report the correct information to CRAs. Section 623(a)(1)(B). If a consumer notifies a furnisher that the consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of any information reported by the furnisher, the furnisher may not subsequently report that information to a CRA without providing notice of the dispute. Section 623(a)(3). The federal banking and credit union regulators and the FTC will issue regulations that will identify when an information furnisher must investigate a dispute made directly to the furnisher by a consumer. Once these regulations are issued, furnishers must comply with them and complete an investigation within 30 days (or 45 days, if the consumer later provides relevant additional information) unless the dispute is frivolous or irrelevant or comes from a “credit repair organization.” The FTC regulations will be available at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx. Section 623(a)(8).
Duties After Notice of Dispute from Consumer Reporting Agency
If a CRA notifies a furnisher that a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of information provided by the furnisher, the furnisher has a duty to follow certain procedures. The furnisher must:
• Conduct an investigation and review all relevant information provided by the CRA, including information given to the CRA by the consumer. Sections 623(b)(1)(A) and (b)(1)(B).
• Report the results to the CRA that referred the dispute, and, if the investigation establishes that the information was, in fact, incomplete or inaccurate, report the results to all CRAs to which the furnisher provided the information that compile and maintain files on a nationwide basis. Section 623(b)(1)(C) and (b)(1)(D).
• Complete the above steps within 30 days from the date the CRA receives the dispute (or 45 days, if the consumer later provides relevant additional information to the CRA). Section 623(b)(2).
• Promptly modify or delete the information, or block its reporting. Section 623(b)(1)(E).
Duty to Report Voluntary Closing of Credit Accounts
If a consumer voluntarily closes a credit account, any person who regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to one or more CRAs must report this fact when it provides information to CRAs for the time period in which the account was closed. Section 623(a)(4).
Duty to Report Dates of Delinquencies
If a furnisher reports information concerning a delinquent account placed for collection, charged to profit or loss, or subject to any similar action, the furnisher must, within 90 days after reporting the information, provide the CRA with the month and the year of the commencement of the delinquency that immediately preceded the action, so that the agency will know how long to keep the information in the consumer's file. Section 623(a)(5). Any person, such as a debt collector, that has acquired or is responsible for collecting delinquent accounts and that reports information to CRAs may comply with the requirements of Section 623(a)(5) (until there is a consumer dispute) by reporting the same delinquency date previously reported by the creditor. If the creditor did not report this date, they may comply with the FCRA by establishing reasonable procedures to obtain and report delinquency dates, or, if a delinquency date cannot be reasonably obtained, by following reasonable procedures to ensure that the date reported precedes the date when the account was placed for collection, charged to profit or loss, or subjected to any similar action. Section 623(a)(5).
Duties of Financial Institutions When Reporting Negative Information
Financial institutions that furnish information to “nationwide” consumer reporting agencies, as defined in Section 603(p), must notify consumers in writing if they may furnish or have furnished negative information to a CRA. Section 623(a)(7). The Federal Reserve Board has prescribed model disclosures, 12 CFR Part 222, App. B.
Duties When Furnishing Medical Information
A furnisher whose primary business is providing medical services, products, or devices (and such furnisher’s agents or assignees) is a medical information furnisher for the purposes of the FCRA and must notify all CRAs to which it reports of this fact. Section 623(a)(9). This notice will enable CRAs to comply with their duties under Section 604(g) when reporting medical information.
Duties When ID Theft Occurs
All furnishers must have in place reasonable procedures to respond to notifications from CRAs that information furnished is the result of identity theft, and to prevent refurnishing the information in the future. A furnisher may not furnish information that a consumer has identified as resulting from identity theft unless the furnisher subsequently knows or is informed by the consumer that the information is correct. Section 623(a)(6). If a furnisher learns that it has furnished inaccurate information due to identity theft, it must notify each consumer reporting agency of the correct information and must thereafter report only complete and accurate information. Section 623(a)(2). When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615(f).
This Notice is subject to change as may be required by law.
NOTICE TO USERS OF CONSUMER REPORTS: OBLIGATIONS OF USERS UNDER THE FCRA
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA),15 U.S.C. 1681-1681y, requires that this notice be provided to inform users of consumer reports of their legal obligations. State law may impose additional requirements. The text of the FCRA is set forth in full at the Federal Trade Commission's Website at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx. At the end of this document is a list of United States Code citations for the FCRA. Other information about user duties is also available at the Commission’s Web site. Users must consult the relevant provisions of the FCRA for details about their obligations under the FCRA. The first section of this summary sets forth the responsibilities imposed by the FCRA on all users of consumer reports. The subsequent sections discuss the duties of users of reports that contain specific types of information, or that are used for certain purposes, and the legal consequences of violations. If you are a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency (CRA), you have additional obligations and will receive a separate notice from the CRA describing your duties as a furnisher. This Notice is subject to change as may be required by law.
I. OBLIGATIONS OF ALL USERS OF CONSUMER REPORTS
A. Users Must Have a Permissible Purpose Congress has limited the use of consumer reports to protect consumers' privacy. All users must have a permissible purpose under the FCRA to obtain a consumer report. Section 604 contains a list of the permissible purposes under the law. These are:
• As ordered by a court or a federal grand jury subpoena. Section 604(a)(1)
• As instructed by the consumer in writing. Section 604(a)(2)
• | For the extension of credit as a result of an application from a consumer, or the review or collection of a consumer's account. Section 604(a)(3)(A) |
• | For employment purposes, including hiring and promotion decisions, where the consumer has given written permission. Sections 604(a)(3)(B) and 604(b) |
• | For the underwriting of insurance as a result of an application from a consumer. Section 604(a)(3)(C) |
• | When there is a legitimate business need, in connection with a business transaction that is initiated by the consumer. Section 604(a)(3)(F)(i) |
• | To review a consumer's account to determine whether the consumer continues to meet the terms of the account. Section 604(a)(3)(F)(ii) |
• | To determine a consumer's eligibility for a license or other benefit granted by a governmental instrumentality required by law to consider an applicant's financial responsibility or status. Section 604(a)(3)(D) |
• | For use by a potential investor or servicer, or current insurer, in a valuation or assessment of the credit or prepayment risks associated with an existing credit obligation. Section 604(a)(3)(E) |
• | For use by state and local officials in connection with the determination of child support payments, or modifications and enforcement thereof. Sections 604(a)(4) and 604(a)(5) |
In addition, creditors and insurers may obtain certain consumer report information for the purpose of making “prescreened” unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. Section 604(c). The particular obligations of users of "prescreened" information are described in Section VII below.
B. Users Must Provide Certifications
Section 604(f) prohibits any person from obtaining a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency (CRA) unless the person has certified to the CRA the permissible purpose(s) for which the report is being obtained and certifies that the report will not be used for any other purpose.
C. Users Must Notify consumers When Adverse Actions Are Taken
The term "adverse action" is defined very broadly by Section 603. "Adverse actions" include all business, credit, andemployment actions affecting consumers that can be considered to have a negative impact as defined by Section 603(k) of the FCRA – such as denying or canceling credit or insurance, or denying employment or promotion. No adverse action occurs in a credit transaction where the creditor makes a counteroffer that is accepted by the consumer.
1. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained From a CRA
If a user takes any type of adverse action as defined by the FCRA that is based at least in part on information contained in a consumer report, Section 615(a) requires the user to notify the consumer. The notification may be done in writing, orally, or by electronic means. It must include the following:
• | The name, address, and telephone number of the CRA (including a toll-free telephone number, if it is a nationwide CRA) that provided the report. |
• | A statement that the CRA did not make the adverse decision and is not able to explain why the decision was made. |
• | A statement setting forth the consumer's right to obtain a free disclosure of the consumer's file from the CRA if the consumer makes a request within 60 days. |
• | A statement setting forth the consumer's right to dispute directly with the CRA the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the CRA. |
2. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained From Third Parties Who Are Not Consumer Reporting Agencies
If a person denies (or increases the charge for) credit for personal, family, or household purposes based either wholly or partly upon information from a person other than a CRA, and the information is the type of consumer information covered by the FCRA, Section 615(b)(1) requires that the user clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer his or her right to be told the nature of the information that was relied upon if the consumer makes a written request within 60 days of notification. The user must provide the disclosure within a reasonable period of time following the consumer's written request.
3. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained From Affiliates
If a person takes an adverse action involving insurance, employment, or a credit transaction initiated by the consumer, based on information of the type covered by the FCRA, and this information was obtained from an entity affiliated with the user of the information by common ownership or control, Section 615(b)(2) requires the user to notify the consumer of the adverse action. The notice must inform the consumer that he or she may obtain a disclosure of the nature of the information relied upon by making a written request within 60 days of receiving the adverse action notice. If the consumer makes such a request, the user must disclose the nature of the information not later than 30 days after receiving the request. If consumer report information is shared among affiliates and then used for an adverse action, the user must make an adverse action disclosure as set forth in I.C.1 above.
D. Users Have Obligations When Fraud and Active Duty Military Alerts are in Files
When a consumer has placed a fraud alert, including one relating to identity theft, or an active duty military alert with a nationwide consumer reporting agency as defined in Section 603(p) and resellers, Section 605A(h) imposes limitations on users of reports obtained from the consumer reporting agency in certain circumstances, including the establishment of a new credit plan and the issuance of additional credit cards. For initial fraud alerts and active duty alerts, the user must have reasonable policies and procedures in place to form a belief that the user knows the identity of the applicant or contact the consumer at a telephone number specified by the consumer; in the case of extended fraud alerts, the user must contact the consumer in accordance with the contact information provided in the consumer’s alert.
E. Users Have Obligations When Notified of an Address Discrepancy
Section 605(h) requires nationwide CRAs, as defined in Section 603(p), to notify users that request reports when the address for a consumer provided by the user in requesting the report is substantially different from the addresses in the consumer’s file. When this occurs, users must comply with regulations specifying the procedures to be followed, which will be issued by the Federal Trade Commission and the banking and credit union regulators. The Federal Trade Commission’s regulations will be available at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx.
F. Users Have Obligations When Disposing of Records
Section 628 requires that all users of consumer report information have in place procedures to properly dispose of records containing this information. The Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the banking and credit union regulators have issued regulations covering disposal. The Federal Trade Commission’s regulations may be found at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx.
II. CREDITORS MUST MAKE ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES
If a person uses a consumer report in connection with an application for, or a grant, extension, or provision of, credit to a consumer on material terms that are materially less favorable than the most favorable terms available to a substantial proportion of consumers from or through that person, based in whole or in part on a consumer report, the person must provide a risk-based pricing notice to the consumer in accordance with regulations to be jointly prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve Board. Section 609(g) requires a disclosure by all persons that make or arrange loans secured by residential real property (one to four units) and that use credit scores. These persons must provide credit scores and other information about credit scores to applicants, including the disclosure set forth in Section 609(g)(1)(D) (“Notice to the Home Loan Applicant”).
III. OBLIGATIONS OF USERS WHEN CONSUMER REPORTS ARE OBTAINED FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES
A. Employment Other Than in the Trucking Industry
If information from a CRA is used for employment purposes, the user has specific duties, which are set forth in Section 604(b) of the FCRA. The user must:
• | Make a clear and conspicuous written disclosure to the consumer before the report is obtained, in a document that consists solely of the disclosure, that a consumer report may be obtained. |
• | Obtain from the consumer prior written authorization. Authorization to access reports during the term of employment may be obtained at the time of employment. |
• | Certify to the CRA that the above steps have been followed, that the information being obtained will not be used in violation of any federal or state equal opportunity law or regulation, and that, if any adverse action is to be taken based on the consumer report, a copy of the report and a summary of the consumer's rights will be provided to the consumer. |
• | Before taking an adverse action, the user must provide a copy of the report to the consumer as well as the summary of consumer’s rights. (The user should receive this summary from the CRA.) A Section 615(a) adverse action notice should be sent after the adverse action is taken. |
An adverse action notice also is required in employment situations if credit information (other than transactions and experience data) obtained from an affiliate is used to deny employment. Section 615(b)(2)
The procedures for investigative consumer reports and employee misconduct investigations are set forth below.
B. Employment in the Trucking Industry
Special rules apply for truck drivers where the only interaction between the consumer and the potential employer is by mail, telephone, or computer. In this case, the consumer may provide consent orally or electronically, and an adverse action may be made orally, in writing, or electronically. The consumer may obtain a copy of any report relied upon by the trucking company by contacting the company.
IV. OBLIGATIONS WHEN INVESTIGATIVE CONSUMER REPORTS ARE USED
Investigative consumer reports are a special type of consumer report in which information about a consumer's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living is obtained through personal interviews by an entity or person that is a consumer reporting agency. consumers who are the subjects of such reports are given special rights under the FCRA. If a user intends to obtain an investigative consumer report, Section 606 requires the following:
• | The user must disclose to the consumer that an investigative consumer report may be obtained. This must be done in a written disclosure that is mailed, or otherwise delivered, to the consumer at some time before or not later than three days after the date on which the report was first requested. The disclosure must include a statement informing the consumer of his or her right to request additional disclosures of the nature and scope of the investigation as described below, and the summary of consumer rights required by Section 609 of the FCRA. (The summary of consumer rights will be provided by the CRA that conducts the investigation.) |
• | The user must certify to the CRA that the disclosures set forth above have been made and that the user will make the disclosure described below. |
• | Upon the written request of a consumer made within a reasonable period of time after the disclosures required above, the user must make a complete disclosure of the nature and scope of the investigation. This must be made in a written statement that is mailed, or otherwise delivered, to the consumer no later than five days after the date on which the request was received from the consumer or the report was first requested, whichever is later in time. |
V. SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYEE INVESTIGATIONS
Section 603(x) provides special procedures for investigations of suspected misconduct by an employee or for compliance with Federal, state or local laws and regulations or the rules of a self-regulatory organization, and compliance with written policies of the employer. These investigations are not treated as consumer reports so long as the employer or its agent complies with the procedures set forth in Section 603(x), and a summary describing the nature and scope of the inquiry is made to the employee if an adverse action is taken based on the investigation.
VI. OBLIGATIONS OF USERS OF MEDICAL INFORMATION
Section 604(g) limits the use of medical information obtained from consumer reporting agencies (other than payment information that appears in a coded form that does not identify the medical provider). If the information is to be used for an insurance transaction, the consumer must give consent to the user of the report or the information must be coded. If the report is to be used for employment purposes – or in connection with a credit transaction (except as provided in regulations issued by the banking and credit union regulators) – the consumer must provide specific written consent and the medical information must be relevant. Any user who receives medical information shall not disclose the information to any other person (except where necessary to carry out the purpose for which the information was disclosed, or as permitted by statute, regulation, or order).
VII. OBLIGATIONS OF USERS OF "PRESCREENED" LISTS
The FCRA permits creditors and insurers to obtain limited consumer report information for use in connection with unsolicited offers of credit or insurance under certain circumstances. Sections 603(l), 604(c), 604(e), and 615(d). This practice is known as "prescreening" and typically involves obtaining from a CRA a list of consumers who meet certain pre-established criteria. If any person intends to use prescreened lists, that person must (1) before the offer is made, establish the criteria that will be relied upon to make the offer and to grant credit or insurance, and (2) maintain such criteria on file for a three-year period beginning on the date on which the offer is made to each consumer. In addition, any user must provide with each written solicitation a clear and conspicuous statement that:
• Information contained in a consumer's CRA file was used in connection with the transaction.
• | The consumer received the offer because he or she satisfied the criteria for credit worthiness or insurability used to screen for the offer. |
• | Credit or insurance may not be extended if, after the consumer responds, it is determined that the consumer does not meet the criteria used for screening or any applicable criteria bearing on credit worthiness or insurability, or the consumer does not furnish required collateral. |
• | The consumer may prohibit the use of information in his or her file in connection with future prescreened offers of credit or insurance by contacting the notification system established by the CRA that provided the report. |
The statement must include the address and toll-free telephone number of the appropriate notification system.
In addition, once the Federal Trade Commission by rule has established the format, type size, and manner of the disclosure required by Section 615(d), users must be in compliance with the rule. The FTC’s regulations will be at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx.
VIII. OBLIGATIONS OF RESELLERS
A. Disclosure and Certification Requirements
Section 607(e) requires any person who obtains a consumer report for resale to take the following steps:
• Disclose the identity of the end-user to the source CRA.
• | Identify to the source CRA each permissible purpose for which the report will be furnished to the end-user. |
• | Establish and follow reasonable procedures to ensure that reports are resold only for permissible purposes, including procedures to obtain: |
(1) the identity of all end-users;
(2) certifications from all users of each purpose for which reports will be used; and
(3) | certifications that reports will not be used for any purpose other than the purpose(s) specified to the reseller. Resellers must make reasonable efforts to verify this information before selling the report. |
B. Reinvestigations by Resellers
Under Section 611(f), if a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of information in a report prepared by a reseller, the reseller must determine whether this is a result of an action or omission on its part and, if so, correct or delete the information. If not, the reseller must send the dispute to the source CRA for reinvestigation. When any CRA notifies the reseller of the results of an investigation, the reseller must immediately convey the information to the consumer.
C. Fraud Alerts and Resellers
Section 605A(f) requires resellers who receive fraud alerts or active duty alerts from another consumer reporting agency to include these in their reports.
IX. LIABILITY FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE FCRA
Failure to comply with the FCRA can result in state government or federal government enforcement actions, as well as private lawsuits. Sections 616, 617, and 621. In addition, any person who knowingly and willfully obtains a consumer report under false pretenses may face criminal prosecution. Section 619.

In the event of transactions exceeding the limit applicable to a Cardholder’s Card, caused by a party other than FIS, Client shall be liable for any Transaction responsible for such overdraft or negative balance.
2.6 Settlement. FIS may remit or receive funds for Client as Client’s third party payment processor. Client is solely responsible for fully reimbursing FIS for any and all funds remitted by FIS to EFT Networks, payees, or third parties in connection with the settlement of Transactions processed by FIS under this Addendum, whether or not Client is able to collect the amount of or related to Transactions from its Customers. FIS shall debit and/or credit the Settlement Account for amounts owed to FIS by Client for settlement hereunder. Client shall, upon FIS’s request, immediately pay to FIS any and all amounts for settlement that FIS is unable to collect from the Settlement Account for any reason. FIS will provide Client with daily settlement and accounting information, and Client agrees that Client is responsible for the daily maintenance and reconciliation of all accounting entries. Client agrees to compensate FIS for carrying any unfunded settlement using the then-published prime rate. FIS may terminate this Addendum in the event that settlement remains unfunded by Client for more than [**CONFIDENTIAL**].
2.7 Client shall be responsible for the timely resolution of errors or disputes and for providing any and all notifications that are required to Customers and persons accessing or using Client’s ATMs, in each case in accordance with applicable law, regulations and rules and the Operating Rules. Client will handle monetary entries to its Customer’s accounts and will establish and maintain a general ledger account for this purpose. FIS will serve only in an advisory capacity on error and dispute resolution, provided, however, that if Client retains FIS to perform error or dispute resolution services, then: (i) Client shall forward dispute claims to FIS; (ii) FIS shall review such claims for adjustment eligibility and process all such eligible claims; (iii) FIS shall obtain draft copies, enter adjustments, and make appropriate entries to the Settlement Account or such other account as designated by Client; (iv) FIS shall work with Client in connection with any adjustments, reversals or chargebacks to a Cardholder’s account; and (v) provided that FIS complies with all applicable Operating Rules related to adjustment, reversal or chargeback processing, Client shall be solely responsible for any and all losses, expenses and costs incurred through the disputed transaction process.
2.8 Client shall be solely responsible for (i) any Client specified reporting required by an Association or third party service provider and any fines or fees assessed with respect to such reporting, and (ii) dues, fees, assessments, penalties and other membership duties, obligations and costs of all EFT Networks to which Client participates in and/or requests access to; and (iii) complying with the operating rules, bylaws and requirements of all EFT Networks to which Client participates in and/or requests access to, as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time (the “Operating Rules”).
2.9 Client acknowledges that FIS’s ability to provide the Services under this Addendum is contingent upon Client obtaining financial institution sponsorship into the EFT Network(s) in which Client wishes to participate and receive or transmit Transactions from and through. As such, FIS will only provide Services hereunder with respect to those EFT Network(s) with whom Client has such sponsorship and for so long as Client maintains such sponsorship. Upon request, Client and/or its agents shall provide proof of such sponsorship to FIS by providing a copy of the executed agreement between Client and each EFT Network sponsor. Client shall indemnify and hold FIS harmless from any and all Losses incurred as a result of Client’s failure to comply with the applicable Law and the Operating Rules. Client authorizes FIS to comply with all Laws applicable to the Service, including any that pertain to the regulation and examination of Client, and shall pay FIS any fees associated with furnishing Data and/or Output to agencies or other bodies that regulate Client.
2.10 If Client purchases the “ATM Terminal Driving” Service, the following subsections apply:
2.10.1 All Transactions will be routed via the System for authorization, settlement, posting and reconciliation of Customer accounts. FIS shall process On-US ATM Transactions and Foreign ATM Transactions initiated at Client’s ATMs. Transactions will be processed and settled along with all interchange, surcharge, FIS fees and will be funded by Client each business day. All settlement reporting will be made available to Client daily.
2.10.2 If the ATM device allows, FIS will monitor Client’s ATMs [**CONFIDENTIAL**] for device, telecommunications network and transaction availability. In the event of an outage, FIS shall attempt to inform the appropriate party regarding the status of any device or telecommunications network in accordance with the Client directed call list and standard network operations protocol. Some ATM devices utilizing communications protocols such as dial-up or intermittent communication with the System may not be capable of [**CONFIDENTIAL**] monitoring, in which case FIS will monitor Client’s ATMs during such times as the device is connected to the System or upon receiving communications from the ATM.
2.10.3 Subject to the technical capabilities of an ATM, and based upon instructions provided by Client to FIS, the Services provided by FIS hereunder for ATMs shall provide standard transaction options for lOn-Us ATM Transactions and Foreign ATM Transactions. On-Us ATM Transactions and Foreign ATM Transactions may include, without limitation, loan
payments, fast cash, withdrawals, deposits, and transfers. Screen displays may have multi-lingual options and present Client provided marketing messages, as the hardware allows. Any custom graphics shall be provided by Client at Client’s expense.
2.10.4 FIS will provide reports necessary for Client to balance ATM Transactions daily and provide other related management reports necessary to provide accurate and efficient ATM operation. Client agrees to balance reports to its general ledger daily and to notify FIS, in writing, within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of any out-of-balance condition. FIS shall not be responsible for any settlement issues or deficiencies reported to FIS after the applicable EFT Network allotted time periods for adjustment.
2.10.5 The ATM Terminal Driving Service will be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however, that FIS reserves the right to suspend availability of the ATM Terminal Driving Service for the purpose of maintenance or updating. The ATM Terminal Driving Service is deemed available when the System is able to process transactions. Any reprocessing required due to Client error shall be performed at Client’s expense.
2.11 If Client purchases the “Fraud Detection Services” Service, FIS shall provide Fraud Detection Services to Client in a standard environment, using its fraud detection platform. FIS will monitor Client’s transactions and use commercially reasonable efforts to identify potential fraudulent activity.

2.13 If Client purchases the “Fraud Alert Management” Service, the following subsections apply
2.13.1 FIS shall provide Fraud Alert Management to Client and its Customers in either a standard or distributive environment. In a standard environment, using its neural network engine known as Falcon Fraud Manager™ (“Neural Network”), FIS will monitor Client’s transactions and use commercially reasonable efforts to identify potential fraudulent activity. In a distributive environment FIS’s sole obligation is to grant Client a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use and access the Neural Network utilizing workstation components at Client’s location. Client will evaluate, manage, and take action with respect to potential fraudulent activity in accordance with the Specifications. Neural Network is a proprietary transaction account fraud detection system of Fair Xxxxx Corporation ("Fair Xxxxx"), which FIS has obtained the right to offer to its clients pursuant to an agreement with Fair Xxxxx.
2.13.2 Approximately [**CONFIDENTIAL**] following the Commencement Date, FIS will begin to develop individual profiles for each Cardholder’s Card, which development will take approximately [**CONFIDENTIAL**] (“Profiling Period”). At commencement of the Profiling Period, FIS shall provide Client with notice of the date that Fraud Alert Management will become operational (the "Activation Date"). PRIOR TO THE ACTIVATION DATE, POTENTIAL FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY WILL NOT BE ROUTED TO FIS’S FRAUD ALERT SPECIALISTS FOR REVIEW AND/OR ACTION.
2.13.3 When the Neural Network detects a potentially fraudulent transaction in the standard environment, FIS may decline the transaction, place a “hold” on the applicable card to prevent any further transactions, and/or promptly contact by telephone either the Customer or an individual designated by Client. Client hereby authorizes FIS to decline card transactions that appear suspicious in FIS’s sole discretion and to contact the Customer to confirm transaction activity as deemed appropriate in FIS’s sole discretion. In the distributive environment, the obligations set forth in this subsection are the sole responsibility of Client.
2.13.4 Fraud Alert Management will be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however, that FIS reserves the right to suspend availability of the Fraud Alert Management Service for the purpose of maintenance or updating during “off-peak” hours. Although FIS will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep these periods of unavailability as short as reasonably possible, Client acknowledges that fraudulent transactions may occur during these periods and FIS shall have no liability for those transactions. FIS’s call center shall operate twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, however FIS will only place outbound calls 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the Client's local time zone.
2.13.5 Client agrees to use reasonable efforts to contact its Customers regarding potentially fraudulent cards or fraudulent use of a card and shall provide FIS with any information obtained from a Customer regarding such cards.
2.13.6 Only Cards issued by Client and processed by FIS are eligible for Fraud Alert Management.
2.13.7 Client understands that the Fraud Alert Management Service is intended to detect and prevent potential fraudulent card activity. However, Client acknowledges that (i) no fraud detection tool is one hundred percent accurate, (ii) it is likely that some fraudulent transactions will go undetected by the Neural Network or other mechanisms and may not be declined, and (iii) some non-fraudulent transactions may be declined because of the detection of potentially fraudulent activity.
2.13.8 FIS’s obligation to provide Fraud Alert Management shall be contingent upon Client’s compliance with the following: (i) Client will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep current on FIS’s database all information regarding
Customers, including, but not limited to, each Customer’s date of birth, telephone numbers, address and Social Security number; (ii) Client shall participate in periodic confidential surveys deemed necessary by FIS or Fair Xxxxx to assess the Fraud Alert Management's performance; (iii) Client acknowledges and agrees that the parameters for operation of the Neural Network system in the standard environment shall be determined from time to time by FIS and Fair Xxxxx, as applicable, to attempt to improve the performance of Fraud Alert Management, in their sole discretion. In the distributive environment FIS will provide ranges of parameters for general operation of the Neural Network but Client will be solely responsible for designating its applicable parameters for operation. Examples of such parameters include, without limitation, minimum Falcon scores required to trigger an inquiry and prerequisites to a decision to block a card or initiate cardholder or Client contact; and (iv) the then current Fraud Alert Management operating procedures issued by FIS.
2.13.9 “Real-Time Rules” are rules applicable to the scoring mode (as described in the operating procedures). In the standard environment, Real-Time Rules are solely established by FIS. In the distributive environment, Client will provide FIS with the Real-Time Rules applicable to the operation of Fraud Alert Management. FIS has the right to reject any Real-Time Rule it deems potentially adverse to any Association standard or the performance of Fraud Alert Management.
2.13.10 FIS disclaims all liability to Client for, and Client shall indemnify and hold FIS harmless from, any and all Losses arising in connection with any of the following: (i) any occurrence of fraud in connection with a Card (unless Client elects the FIS Secured Services); (ii) the application of a low risk score when a transaction was actually fraudulent; (iii) the application of a high risk score which results in blocking use of a Card which is not involved in fraudulent activity; (iv) any failure by FIS to decline a fraudulent transaction or to notify Client or Customer of a fraudulent transaction; (v) any decline of a non-fraudulent transaction; (vi) a Customer’s inability to use his or her Card due to FIS placing a restriction on a card which FIS determines to be potentially fraudulent; and (vii) Neural Network system downtime for maintenance, enhancements, upgrades, and similar activities.
2.14 If Client purchases the “3-D Secure” Service, the following subsections apply
2.14.1 FIS shall provide secure internet servers and web pages that allow Customer authentication and Customer enrollment functions compatible with Verified by VISA and MasterCard Secure Code specifications. FIS shall follow procedures and time schedules it deems appropriate to timely provide Client’s Customers who have been enrolled by Client pursuant to an FIS approved written enrollment agreement with access to the Service via the Internet. Client shall be responsible for providing all appropriate privacy or other notices to Customers regarding FIS’s access to Data. FIS shall provide Customers with electronic access to card transaction histories in accordance with the Specifications.
2.14.2 The 3-D Secure Service will be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however, that FIS reserves the right to suspend availability of the 3-D Secure Service for the purpose of maintenance or updating. Although FIS will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep these periods of unavailability as short as reasonably possible, Client acknowledges that 3-D Secure transactions may occur without protection during these time periods and FIS shall have no liability for those transactions.
2.14.3 Only debit Cards issued by Client and processed by FIS are eligible for the 3-D Secure Service.
2.14.4 Client will use FIS only for technical support in using the 3-D Secure Service system. Client shall be solely responsible for providing assistance to Customers.
2.14.5 FIS’s obligation to provide the 3-D Secure Service shall be contingent upon Client’s compliance with the following: (a) Client will use its best efforts to keep Customer address information current on FIS’s database. This information is used during the Customer enrollment process. Incorrect or missing address data may cause the Customer to be unable to enroll; (b) Client will assign the function of “Issuer Administrator” to a Client employee. The “Issuer Administrator” employee will be responsible for granting, denying, or modifying other Client employees (“CSR Administrators”) access and privileges to the 3-D Secure administrative website; and (c) CSR Administrators shall be assigned to one or more other Client employees. The CSR Administrator shall have all system access to research problems, reset Customer passwords, pull reports, and other general first line customer service functions to a Customer. Client shall have sole responsibility for all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or incurred in connection with compliance by FIS or its affiliates with Client or Customer specifications or instructions, information accessed or transactions effected with a lost, stolen, counterfeit or misused access code or identification number and any payment initiated by a Customer which is not completed due to lack of funds.
2.14.6 FIS disclaims all liability to Client for, and Client shall indemnify and hold FIS harmless from, any and all Losses arising in connection with any of the following: (i) any occurrence of fraud in connection with a debit card and a 3-D Secure password; (ii) any reimbursement through the Secure Services (if Client has contracted for the Secure Services) for fraud in connection with a debit card and a 3-D Secure password; (iii) Customer transaction(s) not being completed due to Customer choosing not to enroll in 3-D Secure at the time of the transaction(s); and (iv) Customer transaction(s) being denied due to Customer data being invalid on the Customer record in FIS’s database.
3. Intentionally Omitted.
4. Termination. In addition to the termination rights set forth in the General Terms, FIS may terminate this Addendum if Client’s license from or membership in Visa, MasterCard or other required payment card issuing organization(s) terminates for any reason.

Client acknowledges and agrees that FIS obtains certain of its data from third party sources (“External Suppliers”), which may or may not be completely
thorough or accurate. As such, Client shall not rely on FIS for the accuracy or completeness of information supplied through the Services. Client acknowledges that all decisions made with respect to consumers are made solely by Client.
4.2 Client understands and acknowledges that the Services do not serve as positive identification of the consumer.

Client shall immediately notify FIS of any suspect or questionable activity regarding access to FIS Data and report any potential compromise of Client’s systems that may expose FIS or any FIS Data to security vulnerabilities.

In the event that the Service is terminated, Client shall be required to certify in writing that all FIS Data provided through the Service has either been returned to FIS or destroyed in accordance with the Agreement.
5.2.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, neither FIS nor any External Supplier shall be liable to Client or to any person claiming through Client or to whom Client may have provided these Services or related FIS Data for any Losses arising out of or caused in whole or in part by External Suppliers’ negligent acts or omissions in procuring, compiling, collecting, interpreting, reporting, communicating, or delivering these Services or related FIS Data.

MOBILE BANKING SERVICES ADDENDUM
3 MODE
1. Introduction. BANK OF MARIN of Novato, California (“Client”) engages FIS to provide mobile banking services, indicated in the pricing attachment, (“Services(s)”) in short message service mode, browser mode and downloadable application mode (“Application Mode”) via the Internet or communications networks in accordance with this Mobile Banking Services Addendum (“Addendum”) to Client’s Customers for accounts (“Accounts”). This Addendum is a part of the Information Technology Services Agreement described on the signature page to which this Addendum is attached (“Agreement”), and capitalized words not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. The General Terms apply to the Services provided pursuant to this Addendum.
2. Commencement and Term.
2.1 At a mutually agreeable time following execution of this Addendum, FIS will conduct a kick-off meeting with Client personnel. The kick-off meeting will be in the form of a conference call and will last approximately one (1) hour. Client must have Internet access at its location during the kick-off meeting. During the kick-off meeting, the parties will discuss proposed timelines for project completion with agreed-upon due dates. Client is solely responsible for all communications equipment or services necessary for Client’s use of the Service in accordance with the Specifications. Client’s failure to timely provide and maintain such data communications equipment or services provide or to timely provide account information or configuration information, may result in Service failures and/or additional fees. If the Service is not in use by Client or Customers as of the Effective Date, the Commencement Date of the Service shall be earlier of: (i) the date upon which [**CONFIDENTIAL**] End Users have been enrolled in the Service, or (ii) the date upon which the Downloadable App Software (as such term is defined herein) is first publicly available in a mobile application distribution service.
2.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Service under this Addendum shall remain in effect for a period of forty-eight (48) months from the Commencement Date (“Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, the Service shall automatically be renewed for successive twelve (12) months terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless terminated by either party in writing at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term.
3. Data. Client shall, at its expense, be solely responsible for the transmission of any information, data, records or documents, including those relating to an End User (collectively, “Data”), necessary for FIS to perform the Service, provided however, that if FIS is providing core processing and/or internet banking services to Client, FIS shall provide account information for End Users to the Service. For purposes of this Addendum, an “End User(s)” shall mean Client’s Customers who are enrolled in the Service pursuant to this Addendum. Client hereby authorizes FIS to access Data to perform a Service. If Client directs FIS to disclose Data to a third party, Client shall be deemed to have provided FIS with written authorization to do so, and shall bear any risk of loss or liability associated with that disclosure. In addition, Client shall indemnify FIS and hold FIS harmless from any claims resulting from the third party’s access or use of that Data, and may, in its discretion, require the third party to enter into a written agreement with FIS governing disclosure of that Data.
4. Services.
4.1 FIS shall provide End Users in the United States who have been enrolled by Client pursuant to a written enrollment agreement and related terms and conditions (“End User Terms and Conditions”) with access to the Service for review of account balances and limited transactions histories as reflected in Client Data timely provided to FIS by Client in accordance with the Specifications. The End User Terms and Conditions shall include terms and conditions required by FIS from time to time and the terms and conditions set forth in each of Exhibits A-1 and A-2. Any additional terms included by Client in the End User Terms and Conditions shall not conflict with or supersede the terms and conditions set forth in each of Exhibits A-1 and A-2. Client shall be responsible for providing all appropriate privacy or other notices to End Users regarding FIS’s access to Data. Client acknowledges that FIS may provide on a periodic basis Client’s name, the number of its End Users enrolled in the Service and similar information (excluding NPI) to its licensors or subcontractors for billing purposes.
4.2 FIS will host Client’s on-line registration page for mobile banking. Client acknowledges FIS’s provision of the Service hereunder necessitates certain agreements with third parties and Client hereby authorizes FIS to act as Client’s agent for the limited purpose of entering into, on Client’s behalf, if applicable, agreements necessary to register the domain name and the domain security key for Client’s on-line registration page for mobile banking and for having assigned a short code to Client. Client agrees that such on line registration page may contain identifications (e.g., name, logo or brand) of third-party providers of certain services and telephones and expressly authorizes such identifications so long as they are reasonable in size, presentation and frequency. FIS shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude any offensive material or refuse access to the Service to any Customer.
4.3 Client shall (i) provide direct customer support to End Users; (ii) not use the Service to commit any illegal purpose or libelous act; (iii) not utilize the Service, Internet access when using the Service or FIS’s system or any other FIS equipment or materials in connection with the sending or generation of unsolicited electronic mail messages, also known as spam; (iv) not attempt to gain unauthorized access to FIS’s system or any other system or network operated by or on behalf of FIS; and (v) comply with all reasonable instructions issued by FIS from time to time.

Client shall have sole responsibility for all Losses (as defined in Section 4.11) resulting from, arising out of, or incurred in connection with compliance by FIS or its affiliates with Client or End User specifications or instructions, information accessed or transactions effected with a lost, stolen, counterfeit or misused access code, authenticating image, identification number or telephone and any transfer or instruction initiated by a End User which is not completed due to lack of funds. A wireless telecommunications network operator may from time to time require certain terms be in effect for the Service to be available through such operator’s network. In the event that such operator requires any terms (other than those contained in this Addendum), Client is deemed to accept such additional terms by having End Users enroll in or continue to use the Service with availability for the Service through such operator’s network. FIS may increase any pass-through fees (including, without limitation, fees for aggregator services, dedicated short code fees; and data transmission, and telecommunications expenses) as its cost for such items increases.
4.6 With respect to the Application Mode of the Service, the download software component of the Application Mode may be available for download and use by End Users enrolled in the Application Mode of the Service (“Downloadable APP Software”), and each software application that is part of such download component may be deployed to such End Users, only with respect to the wireless telecommunications network operators and mobile devices that are at the time available to be used with the Application Mode of the Service.

Client agrees to undertake the obligations described in Exhibit B.
4.8 Client shall comply with all rules, regulations or laws associated with its use of the Service, including those relating to usury, truth-in-lending, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, automated clearing house transfers, networks, associations, telecommunications carriers, electronic funds transfer, privacy and direct marketing, regardless of whether Client uses any forms or other Material supplied by FIS. Client assumes all risk and liability associated with its Accounts, including any risk of counterfeit, charged-back and fraudulent transactions. Client authorizes FIS to comply with all laws applicable to the Service, including any that pertain to the regulation and examination of Client, and shall pay FIS any fees associated with furnishing Data and/or Output to agencies or other bodies that regulate Client.
4.9 FIS shall have the right to include Client’s name in a general listing of users of its products and services. In connection with the launch of the Service and otherwise during the term, Client shall conduct a commercially reasonable marketing program to market the Service to End Users and prospective end users. This marketing program shall begin on the Commencement Date for the Service unless otherwise agreed by FIS. FIS will provide Client with a basic marketing package containing electronic versions of standard marketing materials. Upon Client’s request, FIS will also provide at FIS’s then current rates (i) customized marketing materials, in-branch displays, and deposit account statement inserts; and (ii) for sites hosted by FIS, web site related materials such as banner ads and splash pages (“Additional Marketing Items”). Client also agrees that during the implementation process for the Service and prior to the Commencement Date the online enrollment link for the Service shall be enabled with the online enrollment used for the internet banking product or service offered by Client to potential end users so that the potential end user may enroll for the internet banking product or service and for the Service at the same time. Such online enrollment link for the Service shall remain enabled for so long as this Addendum remains in effect. If Client requests Additional Marketing Items, Client agrees to provide its logo and other information requested by FIS for use in the Additional Marketing Items and cooperate with the customization, editing and proofing of all such Additional Marketing Items.
4.10 As a convenience, FIS may provide Client with sample forms, notices, procedures, scripts, disclosures, instructions, marketing materials or other similar information (collectively, “Materials”). Client shall have a license to use those Materials solely for its own internal benefit during the term of this Addendum and solely in a manner that is consistent with this Addendum and the Specifications. Client’s license to use the Materials shall expire immediately upon termination of this Addendum. Client is responsible for use of Materials and bears sole liability for any such use.
4.11 Under no circumstances shall FIS have any liability for any defect, losses, claims, demands, penalties, actions, causes of action, suits, obligations, liabilities, damages, delays, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, (collectively "Losses") caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by: (i) Client; (ii) a third party; (iii) abuse, misuse, alteration or use that is inconsistent with this Addendum or the Specifications; (iv) incorrect or incomplete Data used or made available by Client or End User; (v) software, hardware or systems not supplied by FIS; (vi) Internet service providers or telecommunication carriers or operators; or (vii) any other failure not directly attributable to FIS.

Each SOW shall reference this Addendum and be a part of it.
3.2 FIS shall perform the Deliverables in accordance with the SOW and timetables set forth therein for performance and in material conformity with the Specifications; provided Client timely performs its obligations. Unless specifically indicated in a SOW, FIS shall not be obligated to provide any storage medium to Client.

Once a Deliverable is accepted, FIS is no longer responsible for correcting Defects.

FIS may address minor Defects that do not materially impact Client’s business with a reasonable “work around” on an interim basis. Except to the extent expressly agreed otherwise by the parties in writing (such as, if Client engages FIS to install the Defect correction as part of a Service under the Agreement) Client shall be responsible for installing any Defect corrections provided by FIS. Client shall pay FIS’s then current rates, less any agreed upon pricing discounts, as applicable, set forth in the pricing attachment to the Agreement, for analyzing or diagnosing any irregularity or problem not caused by a covered Defect.

Client shall keep all Deliverables free and clear of any claim, lien or encumbrance, and any act by Client purporting to create such a claim, lien or encumbrance shall be void from its inception. Any intellectual property rights that existed prior to the Effective Date of this Addendum shall belong solely to the party owning them at that time. Neither party shall be entitled to any copyright, trade secret or patent owned by the other party.
5. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability.

FIS shall not be responsible for the repair or replacement of any equipment, firmware or computer programs used in association with the Service or a Deliverable. FIS shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, delay or punitive damages whatsoever (including any damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, or loss of information), even if FIS was advised of the possibility of such damage. DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESIGN, DURABILITY, PERFORMANCE OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION (EVEN IF CREATED BY THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS CONVENTION) ARE DISCLAIMED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
6. Termination. In the event of an early termination of a SOW by Client for reasons other than those set forth in the General Terms: (i) Client shall pay FIS all amounts due and owing through the duration of any terminated SOWs, plus any costs incurred by FIS as a consequence of the termination; and (ii) Client shall not receive a refund of any pre-paid fees.

3.2 Client shall dedicate sufficient resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel, to implement the Software no more than [**CONFIDENTIAL**] following the Effective Date (or such other date mutually agreed upon by the parties).
3.3 Client shall timely deliver any Data or other information necessary to implement the Software in an electronic form and format approved by FIS. Client is solely responsible for timely procuring any information or cooperation required from its Customers and suppliers in order to implement the Software.
4. License. Subject to Client’s payment of all applicable license fees, FIS (or if applicable, one or more of its affiliated companies) grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable right and license, during the time period specified above under Section 2 above or as otherwise set forth in any pricing attachment or Supplement, to use and/or access a single copy of the object code of the Software solely: (i) in accordance with the terms and restrictions of this Addendum; (ii) on the equipment identified in the implementation specifications if it is a Specified CPU License; (iii) at the site of initial installation (“Site”) if the license of such Software is stated in the pricing attachment or Supplement to be a “Site License;” (iv) on the prescribed number of individual workstations at a Client facility if the license of such Software it is stated in the pricing attachment or Supplement to be “Seat License;” (v) at an unlimited number of individual workstations located at a Client facility if the license of such Software is stated in the pricing attachment or Supplement to be an “Enterprise License;” and (vi) for its own internal business purpose. Client shall prepare its equipment and site for installation of the Software in accordance with the Specifications. Client may change its equipment or site only with FIS’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
5. Acceptance. Client is solely responsible for independently determining if the Software meets its needs and requirements. Client shall verify that the Software complies with the Specifications within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of its delivery. Client shall have conclusively accepted the Software if Client: (i) fails to give FIS written notice of any material non-conformity with the Specifications (“Defect”), which notice details such Defect, during that [**CONFIDENTIAL**] period (or within
[**CONFIDENTIAL**] following FIS’s correction of the last reported Defect); or (ii) uses the Software to process data in a live production environment.
6. Use of Software. Client shall not directly or indirectly: (i) lease, rent, assign, sublicense, transfer, disclose, provide, sell, market, distribute, reproduce, or copy Software, except solely for any copying that is necessarily incidental to a permitted use of the Software hereunder or expressly permitted below in this Section 6; (ii) use or allow Software to be used or operated by, or for the benefit of, any third party, including any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate, or any successor or parent company; (iii) use Software in the operation of a service bureau; (iv) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software; or (v) modify, adapt, alter, translate or create derivative works from or otherwise alter the Software. Client may make a single copy of the Software in machine-readable form for disaster recovery and general backup purposes. That copy may be installed on a backup server or system for use solely when approved equipment is inoperable or unusable. Only one (1) copy of Software may be utilized for production purposes.
7. Rights. The license granted to Client hereunder does not assign, transfer, convey or grant any rights, title, interest, lien, or encumbrance of any kind, express or implied, to any system, assembly, circuit, combination, method or process of which the Software is a component, all of which are reserved. Client shall keep the Software free and clear of any claim, lien or encumbrance, and any act by Client purporting to create such a claim, lien or encumbrance shall be void from its inception.
8. Exclusive Control. Software shall remain under the exclusive control and custody of Client at all times, and Client shall keep it in a secure place under appropriate access and use restrictions. Client shall immediately notify FIS of any possession or use of Software not specifically authorized by FIS.
9. Modifications. All modifications, customizations, improvements, upgrades, updates, corrections, enhancements and changes made or relating to, and any derivative work from, any part of the Software (“Modifications”) shall be owned solely and exclusively by FIS regardless of who created them or the medium of expression. Client shall have no right to make Modifications for any purpose. Client shall have a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to use such Modifications that are provided by FIS to Client in performance of the Agreement solely for Client’s own benefit in accordance with the license of the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys to FIS all of Client's right, title, and interest in any Modifications, including, without limitation, all rights of patent, copyright, trade secret, know-how, and other intellectual property and proprietary rights therein, thereto, or covering same. Client shall execute any appropriate documents and take any action reasonably requested by FIS in order to perfect FIS’s ownership in the Modifications. This Addendum does not limit or restrict FIS from developing or marketing the Software or any Modifications, or any similar programs, materials or information, free of any compensation, accounting, attribution, notice or consent obligation to Client.
10. Warranty. FIS warrants that the Software will be free of Defects for a period of [**CONFIDENTIAL**] following its acceptance ("Warranty Period"). If a Defect occurs during the Warranty Period, FIS shall, at its discretion and as its sole obligation, either: (i) correct the Defect or replace the Software; or (ii) terminate the license for the applicable Software and refund the fee paid for such license. During the Warranty Period, FIS shall provide support (“Support”) consisting of telephone access to: (a) a program control center that will receive reports of Defects during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, excluding any holiday recognized by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board); and (b) an emergency U.S. answering service available at all times (24/7) for reporting Defects that cause a complete system failure. FIS will endeavor to respond to any emergency call within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] after that call is received. FIS may also provide on-site technical assistance at Client's request at its then current rates.
11. Maintenance and Support. Unless specifically set forth in a pricing attachment or Supplement, FIS is under no obligation to provide, and Client is under no obligation to purchase, Maintenance. Maintenance shall fall within the definition of “Service” as such term is used in the General Terms and elsewhere in the Agreement. If Client elects to receive and FIS agrees to provide Maintenance, and the associated fees are current and fully paid, FIS shall provide Maintenance consisting of the: (i) provision of Support; (ii) correction of covered Defects reported by Client; and (iii) periodic provision of Modifications made generally available at no additional charge to clients receiving Maintenance (each a “Release”). Releases do not include: (a) new or replacement products; or (b) new versions of Software. Client shall continuously maintain Software at the most current or immediately preceding Release level. FIS will provide Client with a memorandum explaining the nature of any changes made to Software and any updates to the corresponding Specifications for each new Release. Client shall be deemed to have accepted a Release unless it notifies FIS of its rejection within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] following receipt.
12. Defects. FIS is only responsible for correcting covered Defects that occur during the Warranty Period or for so long as Client receives Maintenance. FIS shall make the final determination as to the existence and cause of any Defect. FIS shall have no obligation to correct Defects unless: (i) Client provides a written description of the Defect to FIS in sufficient detail, and with supporting documentation within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of when the Defect was first discovered, to enable FIS to diagnose, and if necessary, recreate it; (ii) Client installs and maintains connectivity in accordance with the Specifications; (iii) Client reasonably assists FIS in diagnosing the Defect remotely; (iv) the Defect can be verified at FIS’s facilities; (v) the
Defect could not have been prevented by installing the most current or immediately preceding Release level; and (vi) Client performs remedial actions reasonably requested by FIS. FIS shall begin developing corrections for covered Defects upon verifying their existence, and shall use reasonable diligence to complete development in a timely manner based upon their severity and impact on Client’s business. FIS may address minor Defects that do not materially impact Client’s business or cause unreasonable disruption in a future Release, and may provide Client with a reasonable “work around” to minimize the impact on an interim basis. Client shall be solely responsible for installing any Defect corrections or Releases provided by FIS. In the event an error or irregularity was not caused by FIS, Client shall pay FIS its then current rates for diagnosing the cause.
13. Limitation of Liability. FIS’s obligations under this Addendum constitute Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Defects or FIS’s provision of Software (all risk of loss having passed to Client upon delivery of the Software). FIS’s total liability arising out of Software is limited in all cases and in the aggregate: (i) during the [**CONFIDENTIAL**] following commencement of the license, to [**CONFIDENTIAL**]; and (ii) after the [**CONFIDENTIAL**] following commencement of the license, to [**CONFIDENTIAL**].
14. Source Code Escrow. Upon request, FIS will deposit a copy of the source code for Software owned by FIS and licensed by Client with its escrow agent so long as Client pays all associated fees and executes and delivers all required documentation under FIS’s standard escrow terms.
15. Audit. Client shall maintain a record of the number and location of all copies of Software and shall provide FIS with a copy of that record upon request. Such records may include, but are not limited to, the names, addresses, contact names and phone numbers of the Software users. Client acknowledges and agrees that FIS may be obligated under its agreements with third party software licensors, for software components which are part of or associated with the use of the Software, to allow such licensors the right to audit FIS’s records for access and distribution verification. Client consents to FIS’s compliance with its obligations to its licensors and agrees to cooperate with FIS or its licensors regarding such audit efforts.
16. Mergers and Acquisitions. At Client’s request and subject to the assignment provisions in the General Terms, FIS will provide additional licenses resulting from any merger, acquisition, affiliation or restructuring (regardless of form) involving Client for fees to be mutually agreed upon prior to the time Client begins using the Software in the expanded environment.
17. Termination.
17.1 If Software or Maintenance is terminated by: (i) FIS prior to the end of its term pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or (ii) Client prior to the end of its term (except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement), Client shall pay FIS, in addition to any other amounts owed, liquidated damages equal to: [**CONFIDENTIAL**]. Client shall not be entitled to a refund of any pre-paid amounts.
17.2 Upon the termination of this Addendum by client without cause the license(s) granted hereunder for a term that runs concurrent with the term of the Maintenance applicable thereto shall immediately cease to exist, subject, however, to the applicable transition assistance period under Section 2.8 of the General Terms, during which period of time such license(s) shall remain in effect for the sole purpose of transitioning client as contemplated thereunder. Client will promptly discontinue all use of the Software, permanently erase all copies of the Software on any and all computers, data carriers or other medium directly or indirectly in the possession or under the control of Client, and return to FIS or irretrievably destroy all other copies of the Software and all related FIS Confidential Information on tangible media in Client’s direct or indirect possession or control, and certify in writing to FIS within [**CONFIDENTIAL**] of the date of termination that it has fully complied with these requirements. FIS will likewise return to Client or destroy all copies of related Client Confidential Information on tangible media in FIS’s possession or control and certify in writing to Client that it has fully complied with these requirements.
