Invoices must be submitted promptly following the rendering of the applicable Service or the delivery of the applicable Product. Invoices are due and payable within *****of Client’s receipt of such invoice; provided, however, , Client may withhold fees invoiced for Deliverables to the extent such fees are disputed by Client in good faith, provided that Client gives Fiserv written notice and explanation of such good faith dispute within *****of the invoice date.

With the exception of amounts disputed in good faith as set forth herein, Client shall neither make nor assert any right of deduction or set-off from amounts invoiced. For clarity, Client’s payment of an invoice shall not be deemed a waiver of Client’s right to later dispute that such fee(s) was owed.

Invoices shall: (A) include such line item detail with respect to the relevant fees (and associated Deliverables) as Client shall reasonably require and (B) list all applicable Taxes as separate line items (including detail on the type of Tax and the name of the taxing jurisdiction).

Client shall have taken reasonable steps designed to ensure that any necessary consents have been obtained that are required by law or regulation, if any, in order for Fiserv to access the Client PII and to use it pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement.

Any Information retained in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be held in confidence in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.
(vi) Recipient acknowledges that any breach of this Section 3 may cause irreparable harm to Discloser for which monetary damages alone may be insufficient, and Recipient therefore acknowledges that Discloser shall have the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief (without the necessity of posting bond) against such breach or threatened breach, in addition to all other remedies available to it at law or otherwise.

For the avoidance of doubt, Fiserv shall remain responsible for any third party Products or materials embedded in Fiserv Deliverables.
(e) THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 5 ARE FISERV’S ENTIRE LIABILITY ANY CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM, AND CLIENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OTHER LIABILITY ON THE PART OF FISERV ARISING THEREFROM.

Conversely, if such documentation reveals the amounts paid to Fiserv are less than the amounts owed, Client shall promptly remit the amount of such underpayment to Fiserv. Fiserv reserves the right to charge Client for any assistance required in connection with an audit at Fiserv’s then-current rates.

Such audits shall not unduly disrupt the business or operations of Fiserv. Client will provide Fiserv a summary of the findings from each report prepared in connection with any such audit and discuss results, including any remediation plans (the “Summary Report”).

(d) Governmental Review. Fiserv acknowledges and agrees that federal, state and other governmental regulators and agencies having jurisdiction over Client shall have the right to audit and inspect Fiserv to the same extent as they could audit and inspect Client, and Fiserv shall permit such regulators and agencies to conduct such audits and inspections in accordance with applicable law and regulation. Fiserv shall give prior notice to Client, unless prohibited by law or regulation, of requests by federal and/or state authorities to examine Fiserv’s books and records relating to Client and any Client Information. At Client’s written request and expense, Fiserv shall reasonably cooperate with Client in seeking a protective order with respect to such books, records and Client Information.
(e) Third Party Reports. Upon Client’s reasonable request, Fiserv shall provide on an annual basis a copy of an independent audit firm attestation, assurance and/or audit report covering Fiserv’s operations as a services organization providing Deliverables under this Agreement and may charge Client a fee based on the pro rata cost of such audit apportioned among Fiserv’s clients. Such reports shall include, but not be limited to, a current SSAE 16, Type II Audit Report (or any successor or replacement reports hereafter provided for by the American Institute of CPAs or any successor organization), which shall, among other things, address the security processes and procedures employed by Fiserv with respect to the Deliverables. If material deficiencies affecting the Deliverables are noted in such audit report, Fiserv will develop and implement an action plan to address and resolve any such deficiencies within a commercially reasonable time at Fiserv’s expense. Upon Client’s request, Fiserv will provide a certificate signed by an officer of Fiserv attesting that all material deficiencies affecting Deliverables identified in the most recent audit have been remediated.
13. Availability and Acceptance. Fiserv maintains a quality assurance program for its releases and, upon Client’s request, Client may review a summary of the program.
14. Project Services. With respect to project Services that involve development, custom modification, enhancement or are programming related, Client shall provide Fiserv with all necessary information concerning its requirements for such Project Services (“Requirements”). Based on the Requirements, Fiserv shall create functional specifications (“Functional Specifications”) Fiserv shall not be obligated to perform any further development work until Functional Specifications are approved in writing by Client, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed. Modifications, changes, enhancements, conversions, upgrades, or additions to the agreed upon work beyond those stated in Functional Specifications (collectively, “Modifications”) shall be added only upon mutual written agreement. If the parties agree to add any Modifications, the Functional Specifications and applicable Project Plan (as defined below) shall automatically be modified to the extent necessary to allow for the implementation or provision of the Modifications. Fiserv shall develop a project plan in connection with the performance of Custom Services (“Project Plan”). Each Project Plan may contain a listing of the nature and estimated timing of tasks for the project to be performed by each party, including the development of an acceptance test if applicable.

Client shall maintain adequate records of all transactions under the reasonable control of Client during the period of service interruption and shall have personnel available to assist Fiserv in implementing the switchover to the recovery site. During a Disaster, optional or on-request services shall be provided by Fiserv only to the extent adequate capacity exists at the recovery site and only after stabilizing the provision of base services.
(f) Disaster Recovery Test. Fiserv shall test the Disaster Recovery Plan periodically (but no less than once each calendar year). Client may, in its discretion, participate in and assist Fiserv with such test, if requested by Fiserv. Upon Client’s request, test results will be made available to Client’s management, regulators, auditors, and insurance underwriters.
