14. | REPORTING. The Parties shall provide reports as set forth in Exhibit I-1 and/or Exhibit I-2, as applicable. |
15. PRIVACY POLICIES AND USER DATA.
a. | User Data. All User Data is and will remain the exclusive property of Nextel or its Affiliates except that data which Company obtains independently of this Agreement or its relationship with Nextel. Company agrees that it shall collect, access, use, maintain, disclose or share User Data only to the extent necessary to deliver its services or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. If Nextel Users become customers of Company independent of the activities contemplated under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Company’s use of information it obtains through such separate activities. | ||
b. | Purging of Information. Unless preservation is required by law, Company shall permanently purge communication content that is generated by Nextel Users by use of the Digital Items (including but not limited to chat room discussion), such communications content obtained and stored by Company, when no longer necessary for the Nextel User’s purposes. | ||
c. | Privacy Laws. Company’s collection, access, use, security, and disclosure of User Data shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation the requirements of 47 U.S.C. § 222 and the Federal Communication Commission’s implementing Customer Proprietary Network Information rules and regulations (the “CPNI Rules”), as may be amended from time to time. Company shall at all times perform its obligations hereunder in such a manner as not to cause Nextel to be in material violation of any applicable laws or regulations. | ||
d. | Security. Company shall employ administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that prevent the unauthorized collection, access, use, and disclosure of User Data (“Security”). With respect to User Data, Company shall (i) provide at least as much Security as it does for its most highly sensitive and secret information, but in no event less than the highest standards of best industry practice for information security, as they may change from time to time (the “Security Standard”); (ii) encrypt, for transport and storage, all User Data in a manner that meets or exceeds the Security Standard; (iii) train its employees, agents, and contractors who have a need to access and use User Data for the purposes enumerated herein (each an “Authorized Employee”) on privacy, security, and confidentiality obligations hereunder; (iv) ensure that only Authorized Employees may access User Data, on a need-to-know basis, and only if such Authorized Employees are bound in writing by confidentiality obligations that are no less stringent than those contained in this Agreement; and (v) logically or physically separate User Data from other data, without commingling any data that is not necessary for the fulfillment of Company’s obligations under this Agreement. During the term of each Authorized Employee’s employment by Company, Company shall at all times ensure that such Authorized Employee strictly abides by his/her obligations hereunder and, after the termination of his/her employment, Company shall use at least the same level of effort to enforce the Security obligations of such Authorized Employee as Company uses to enforce such obligations with respect to its own similarly confidential information, provided that Company shall not use less than reasonable efforts in such enforcement. | ||
e. | Customer Contact. Company may only contact a Nextel User to deliver the services or products contemplated under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Company shall not use User Data to contact a Nextel User through a Nextel handset in any manner (including but not limited to voice or text messaging) unless the Nextel User gives prior opt-in |
Nextel — Confidential — Not for Distribution |
6
consent to receive such communications. For purposes of clarification, Company is authorized to utilize text messages or short messaging service (SMS) to contact Nextel Users via the Nextel handset only if (1) such contact is required as part of providing a Digital Item to a Nextel User (e.g.. interactive games); (2) the message transmitted by Company does not include any advertisement, solicitation or commercial promotion; and (3) Company obtains Users’ informed opt-in consent before Company transmits such message. Such opt-in consent shall only be valid for contact directly related to the specific Digital Item to which Company was able to obtain opt-in consent. Company shall obtain additional opt-in consents before contacting a Nextel User in connection with any other Digital Item. To obtain such consent, Company shall provide a clear and non-misleading notice to Nextel Users regarding (i) additional charges that Users may incur relating to such contact from Company, and (ii) procedures for Users to withdraw their opt-in consent at any time without charge (e.g., via a toll-free telephone call). Company shall make such rescission effective within twenty-four (24) hours of the User’s rescission. Company further agrees that it shall implement a system by which the status of such User consent can be clearly established and communicated to Authorized Employees prior to the transmission of such messages, and Company shall maintain records of such User consent for a minimum of two (2) years from the date of any such activity. | |||
f. | Company Direct Marketing. Except through a Device, Company may contact a Nextel User to market its own products and services provided it first obtains a Nextel User’s Prior Consent, and only to deliver the services or products contemplated under this Agreement. “Prior Consent” shall mean an affirmative act by a Nextel User to agree, either electronically or in writing, to receive Company’s own marketing material (“Marketing Material”) in response to a clear and conspicuous solicitation (“Solicitation”) that explains in plain English the purpose and scope of the Solicitation, and the method by which Company will communicate with the Nextel User—such method to exclude wireless messaging of any kind. Company shall store any Solicitation and Prior Consent for a period of three (3) years. Company shall not include in any Solicitation or Marketing Material any reference to Nextel or its products and services. Company shall enable each Nextel User to rescind Prior Consent at any time, without charge (via a toll-free telephone call and e-mail) and Company shall make such rescission effective within twenty-four (24) hours of the rescission. | ||
g. | Location-Based Services. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Company shall not collect, access, use or disclose any User Data (including Location Information) to provide any location-based services or Location Information to anyone, and Nextel shall not be obligated to perform under this Agreement, unless the location based service in question integrates fully with Nextel’s location notice and consent regime to Nextel’s complete satisfaction (“Notice” and “Consent” regime). Company shall delete Location Information immediately, when it is no longer necessary for Nextel User’s purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, Company shall ensure that each Nextel User may rescind Consent at any time, without charge (e.g., via a toll-free telephone call) pursuant to a rescission method approved in writing by Nextel (“Rescission”), and Company shall make such Rescission effective within twenty-four (24) hours of a Nextel User’s Rescission. Company must maintain records of any Notice, Consent, and Rescission for as long as a Nextel User subscribes to Company’s services or application, plus an additional two (3) years. Company shall not make any statement about the accuracy of Location Information, unless Nextel approves such statement in writing. | ||
h. | Disclosure and Return. Except in response to a valid court order or otherwise to the extent legally required in response to a request from a law enforcement agency, in no event shall Company disclose any User Data to any third party. Company must notify Nextel prior to, or as soon as practicable following, the disclosure of User Data pursuant to a valid governmental or law enforcement request. Nextel reserves the right to seek a protective order or to take other appropriate action to prevent or limit such disclosure. Company agrees to cooperate with Nextel’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the User Data in question. Company agrees to return, or at Nextel’s election, to destroy (and certify in writing such destruction) all User Data upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement or earlier if requested to do so in writing by Nextel. |

i. | Compliance with Surveillance Orders. Company shall ensure that it: (i) enables Nextel to comply in a timely manner with any legal process, such as a subpoena (“Legal Process”) that is served on Nextel or an Affiliate of Nextel and which involves a request or order of any kind by any government, government agency, or any court as a result of any such government request(s) of User Data, e.g., content communicated via or stored via Company’s service or application, as well as associated information such as routing or identifying information (“Surveillance Information”); and (ii) complies with any Legal Process that is served on Company and which involves a request or order for Surveillance Information. Accordingly, Company shall maintain a contact, available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week (24x7) for responding to Legal Process. Company’s 24x7 contact information is listed in Exhibit H; Company shall update Nextel of any change in its 24x7 contact information by informing the Nextel contact listed in Exhibit H prior to any such change. Company shall fully comply with any statutory or regulatory requirement, applicable to Nextel or an affiliate of Nextel by virtue of this Agreement, which governs the surveillance of communications (including without limitation the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (“CALEA”), the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (“ECPA”), and 18 U.S.C. § 2518); and Company shall cooperate with Nextel to ensure Nextel’s compliance with such requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Nextel may terminate this Agreement immediately if in its sole discretion it determines that it cannot meet any of its surveillance requirements due to Company. |
j. | Miscellaneous. Company shall immediately notify Nextel of any activity, including but not limited to marketing activity, that may result in the violation of the Privacy Laws, and any breach of Security. Company shall make all reasonable efforts to assist Nextel in relation to the investigation and remedy of any such violation or breach, and any claim, allegation, action, suit, proceeding or litigation related thereto. Company acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any obligation set forth in this Section 15 may result in irreparable harm for which monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy and, as a result, Nextel may seek both monetary damages and equitable relief. Neither Section 25 of this Agreement nor the NDAs referenced therein shall govern the obligations and rights that relate to User Data; rather, this Section 15 and the balance of this Agreement (with the exception of Section 25 and the NDAs referenced therein) shall govern the obligations and rights that relate to User Data. |
16. TERM OF AGREEMENT.

a. | Demonstration Version Digital Items. Company shall not receive any payments for Preload of a Demonstration Version Digital Item. A Demonstration Version Digital Item may be a Local or Network Aware Digital Item. | ||
b. | Full Version Digital Items. The Parties shall mutually agree on payment terms regarding any Full Version Local or Network Aware Digital Item prior to Preload. |
2. | Subsequent Subscription, Licensing and/or Download of a Previously Preloaded Digital Item. Regarding subsequent subscription, licensing and/or download of a previously Preloaded Digital Item to a Device, such Device being within a Derivative Device Group where at least one Device of such Derivative Device Group was previously Preloaded with such Digital Item, where Nextel bills the Nextel User for such Digital Item, the following shall apply: |
a. | Full Version Digital Items. Nextel will pay to Company ***** percent (*****%) (“Payment Percent 1”) of the sums actually collected from Nextel Users for use of such Digital Item (“Payment 1”). |
3. | Non-Preloaded Digital Items. Regarding subscription, licensing and/or download of a Digital Item to a Device, such Device NOT being within a Derivative Device Group where at least one Device of such Derivative Device Group was previously Preloaded with such Digital Item, where Nextel bills the Nextel User for such Digital Item, the following shall apply: |
a. | Digital Items. Nextel will pay to Company ***** percent (*****%) (“Payment Percent 2”) of the sums actually collected from such Nextel User for use of such Digital Item (“Payment 2”). |
4. | General. |
a. | Payment Percent 1 and Payment Percent 2 are, collectively, the “Payment Percents.” Payment 1 and Payment 2 are, collectively, the “Payments.” | ||

Thus, if one Digital Item is priced at $10.00 and a customer purchases another application with a stand-alone price of $5.00, Nextel may price the bundled services (Digital Item and the $5 stand-alone application) at $13.50 (a 10% discount on the bundle). For purposes of calculating the Payment, the price of each service billed to the Nextel User would be reduced by the rate of discount for the bundle as a whole (10% discount).

Nextel agrees to obtain consent of Company prior to bundling any Digital Items. |
