notice from Oracle, (2) make changes to or discontinue any and all aspects of
the marketing services, and (3) restrict the online storage if you upload

expressly reserves the right to suspend or terminate your use of the
3
>
marketing services if your use of the marketing services or storage on the OPN
site is excessive and/or likely to cause loss or damage. You shall be
financially responsible to Oracle for any such use or storage that results in
loss or damage. Upon termination or expiration of this agreement or of your
right to use the marketing services, Oracle may, but is not obligated to, delete
archived data, including data entered by you or by your customers via your
landing pad, but will not do so until 60 days after such termination or
expiration.
The marketing services contain information, data, text, software, and other
materials (collectively, "content") that may be protected by copyrights,
trademarks, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. Except as expressly
authorized by Oracle, you agree not to copy, modify, delete, publish, transmit,
participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, or in any
way exploit any of the content included in the marketing services. Oracle does
not guarantee the accuracy, quality or usefulness of any content or any
marketing services.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any personal data
stored on the OPN site in connection with the marketing services. You are
responsible for complying with all applicable laws governing collection,
storage, processing, use and transfer of such information. You authorize Oracle
to process data as required to facilitate the provision of the marketing
services. Oracle will process and use personal data in accordance with the
instructions received from you, and will not process or use such data in a
manner different from that necessary to carry out Oracle's obligations under
this agreement, provided however, that Oracle may be required to provide
personally identifiable information to third parties to comply with legally
mandated reporting, disclosure, or other legal process requirements. As the
owner of the data, you are warranting that you have provided your users with all
appropriate notices and have obtained all appropriate consents to transfer the
data to us and allow its processing according to the terms of this agreement.
You shall cooperate with Oracle to allow for review of your use of the marketing
services and compliance with Oracle's quality standards. If Oracle, in its sole
discretion, determines that your use of the marketing services is not in
compliance with this agreement, you shall promptly modify or discontinue your
use as directed by Oracle.
You agree to comply with the Logo and Advertising Template Guidelines. Oracle
may change the Logo and Advertising Template Guidelines, and, upon reasonable
notice from Oracle, you shall promptly modify your use of the marketing services
to conform to any such changed Logo and Advertising Template Guidelines.
You shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Oracle, its officers, directors,
employees and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages,
losses or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising out
of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the marketing services.
Oracle shall not be liable or deemed to be in default for any delay or failure
in performance or interruption of any service resulting directly or indirectly
from acts of God, civil or military authority, acts of public enemy, war, riots,
civil disturbances, insurrections, accidents, fires, explosions, floods, the
elements, strikes, labor disputes, shortages of suitable parts, materials, labor
or transportation, magnetic interference, interruptions of electric power or
other utility service, unavailability of any telecommunications service or
connection to any telecommunications service, computer, software, backbone or
network error, or any other cause beyond Oracle's reasonable control.
Opt-in to Marketing
As a member of the OPN in any level, you will need to know about Oracle
products, offerings, conferences, and training. As such, your participation in
the OPN will serve as an opt-in to Oracle marketing that may be deemed relevant
to Oracle partners. You will be presumed to have provided appropriate notices
and have obtained appropriate consents, if required, from any persons who are
signed up to the OPN on your behalf.
Oracle PartnerNetwork Solutions Marketplace and Oracle PartnersOnline

Advertising Template Guidelines set forth at xxxx://xxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx (select
