ENFORCEMENT - Subscriber understands and acknowledges that (a) the Authorizing SROs are third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement and (b) the Authorizing SROs or their authorized representative(s) may enforce this Agreement, by legal proceedings or otherwise, against Subscriber or any person that obtains Market Data that is made available pursuant to this Agreement other than as this Agreement contemplates. Subscriber shall pay the reasonable attorney’s fees that any Authorizing SRO incurs in enforcing this Agreement against Subscriber.
4. DATA NOT GUARANTEED - Subscriber understands that no Authorizing SRO, no other entity whose information is made available over the Authorizing SROs’ facilities (an “Other Data Disseminator”) and no information processor that assists any Authorizing SRO or Other Data Disseminator in making Market Data available (collectively, the “Disseminating Parties”) guarantees the timeliness, sequence, accuracy or completeness of Market Data or of other market information or messages disseminated by any Disseminating Party. Neither Subscriber nor any other person shall hold any Disseminating Party liable in any way for (a) any inaccuracy, error or delay in, or omission of, (i) any such data, information or message or (ii) the transmission or delivery of any such data, information or message, or (b) any loss or damage arising from or occasioned by (i) any such inaccuracy, error, delay or omission, (ii) non-performance or (iii) interruption in any such data, information or message, due either to any negligent act or omission by any Disseminating Party, to any “force majeure” (e.g., flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of government, communications or power failure, equipment or software malfunction) or to any other cause beyond the reasonable control of any Disseminating Party.

6. DISSEMINATION DISCONTINUANCE OR MODIFICATION - Subscriber understands and acknowledges that, at any time, the Authorizing SROs may discontinue disseminating any category of Market Data, may change or eliminate any transmission method and may change transmission speeds or other signal characteristics.

(90) days after the preliminary audit response is received by Subscriber.
e. If NASDAQ and Subscriber are not able to reach agreement concerning the preliminary audit response nor the subsequent review within: (i) sixty (60) days of Subscriber’s submission or the subsequent review; or (ii) one hundred fifty (150) days of Subscriber’s receipt of the preliminary audit response, provided that NASDAQ has proceeded with such examination and audit in good faith in accordance with the provisions hereof, then NASDAQ’s determination (the “Final Audit”) shall be deemed conclusive.

i. If the Final Audit reveals any material non-financial non-compliance with the NASDAQ Requirements, Subscriber shall submit all applicable materials demonstrating compliance with the NASDAQ Requirements, where reasonably practicable, within one hundred fifty (150) days after receipt of the preliminary audit response. If Subscriber fails to demonstrate compliance during this cure period, NASDAQ may, in its discretion at any time, with prior notice to Subscriber, terminate as provided in Section 12 of this Agreement.
j. If the Final Audit discloses an overpayment, then NASDAQ will apply the overpayment for the sixty (60) days prior to the end of the period being reviewed as a credit against amounts due from Subscriber.
k. If Subscriber ‘s payment of fees for Information is fixed, and does not fluctuate with the number of Reportable Units, NASDAQ will, in lieu of an audit, request relevant information or documentation related to Subscriber’s use of the Information; provided, however, that NASDAQ shall retain the right, with reasonable Notice to Subscriber, during normal business hours, to conduct an audit on a confidential basis of any relevant documentation of Subscriber to ensure that Subscriber’s use of the Information conforms to the NASDAQ Requirements.

a. If Subscriber or any other Person continues to receive the Information or any other data and/or information offered by NASDAQ, a prorated month’s credit of any monies due, if any, for the affected Information directly to NASDAQ from Subscriber or, if applicable, from said other Person, for the period at issue; or

If Subscriber or any other Person no longer receives either the Information or any other data and/or information offered by NASDAQ, a prorated month’s refund of any monies due for the affected Information directly to NASDAQ from Subscriber or, if applicable, from said other Person, for the period at issue.
Such credit or refund shall, if applicable, be requested in writing to NASDAQ with all pertinent details. Beyond the warranties stated in this section, there are no other warranties of any kind — express, implied, statutory (including without limitation, timeliness, truthfulness, sequence, completeness, accuracy, freedom from interruption), implied warranties arising from trade usage, course of dealing, course of performance or the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose.
