Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section.

The arbitrator will award the prevailing party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Each party hereby agrees that arbitration will be conducted on an individual, not a class‐wide, basis and that any arbitration proceeding between you and us will not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving customer or any other person or entity.

HARDWARE ADDENDUM

This Hardware Addendum (the “Addendum”) is incorporated into the Terms of Service to cover Hardware (as defined below) purchases and leases. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms of Service or Order Form. The parties expressly agree that the terms of this Addendum will apply to your use of Hardware.

  1. HARDWARE

    a. Delivery, Risk of Loss, and Title. Subject to your payment of fees and compliance with all other terms and conditions of the Order Form, Agreement, and this Addendum, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Hardware to the address specified in such Order Form. If our inventory of Hardware is inadequate to meet customer demand, we reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to allocate available Hardware among its customers in such a manner as we deem equitable and without liability to you. We will not be liable to you for any delay in the delivery of Hardware. The Hardware shall be deemed accepted on the date delivered. You agree to pay all fees in accordance with each Order Form. The risk of loss for all purchased Hardware shall transfer to you at such time the Hardware is actually shipped. Title to purchased Hardware shall transfer to you once we have received payment in full. You are also responsible for the physical security of the Hardware and to make sure the Hardware is not used by any unapproved parties. You shall report all stolen or lost Hardware immediately at https://tryotter.com/customer-support.

    b. Use of the Hardware. You expressly agree that you will use the Hardware exclusively in connection with the Tech Services. You agree that all leased Hardware belongs to us or other third parties and will not be deemed fixtures or in any way part of any premises. We may remove or change the interoperability of the Tech Services on any of the provided Hardware at our discretion. You acknowledge that any addition to, removal of, or change to the Hardware may interrupt your Tech Services. You may not sell, lease, abandon, or give away the Hardware, or permit any other service provider to use the Hardware, including Hardware for which an Unreturned Equipment Fee has been paid. If allowed under applicable laws, you agree that you will not allow anyone other than us or our agents to service or repair the Hardware. If you are leasing Hardware, you are responsible for loss, repair, replacement, and other costs, damages, fees, and charges if you do not return the Hardware to us in an undamaged condition. “Hardware” is defined as all equipment provided to you (either leased or sold) for use of the Tech Services, including but not limited to any tablets or printers. It is your responsibility to (i) regularly inspect your Hardware for any physical damage or any safety concerns, and if relevant, (ii) ensure compliance with physical PCI or other payment processing requirements.

    c. Ownership of Leased Hardware. For avoidance of doubt, all leased Hardware remains Otter owned, and we retain title to all Hardware, at all times, including but not limited to after payment of an Unreturned Equipment Fee. “Unreturned Equipment Fee” refers to the current Hardware price actually offered for sale (without any discounts or promotions) by Otter (or if the Hardware is no longer sold, the price the Hardware was offered for sale without any discounts or promotions) plus a 10% administrative fee for all leased Hardware that is not returned within 60 days after termination of the Tech Services. The payment of an Unreturned Equipment Fee shall not result in a sale of, or the transfer of title to, any Hardware, and such Hardware shall remain the property of ours, and we retain title to Hardware at all times. We do not relinquish ownership of (including title to) Hardware by the payment of an Unreturned Equipment Fee.

In assessing the appropriate level of security, Vendor shall weigh the risks presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. Upon becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach, if the Vendor is obligated by Data Protection Laws, Vendor will notify Customer without undue delay and will provide information and cooperation relating to the Personal Data Breach as reasonably requested by Customer. Such information will be considered the Confidential Information of Vendor. “Personal Data Breach” means a breach of security of the Tech Services leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Personal Data under our control.

    a. Audit Requests. If required under Data Protection Laws, and subject to Section 7(c), upon Customer’s written request, Vendor will provide Customer with the most recent summary audit report(s) (if available) concerning the compliance and undertakings in this Agreement. Vendor's policy is to share methodology, and executive summary information, not raw data, private information. Vendor will reasonably cooperate with Customer by providing available additional information to help Customer better understand such compliance and undertakings. To the extent it is not possible to otherwise satisfy an audit obligation mandated by applicable Data Protection Laws and subject to Section 7(c), only the legally mandated entity (such as a governmental regulatory agency having oversight of Customer’s operations) may conduct an onsite visit of the facilities used to provide the Tech Services. Unless mandated by Data Protection Laws, no audits are allowed within a data center for security and compliance reasons. After conducting an audit under this Section 7 or after receiving a Vendor report under this Section 7, Customer must notify Vendor of the specific manner, if any, in which Vendor does not comply with any of the security, confidentiality, or data protection obligations in this DPA, if applicable. Any such information will be deemed Confidential Information of Vendor.

    b. Sub-Processors. Customer may not audit Vendor’s sub-processors without Vendor’s and Vendor’s sub- processor’s prior agreement. Customer agrees its requests to audit sub-processors may be satisfied by Vendor or Vendor’s sub-processors presenting up-to-date attestations, reports or extracts from independent bodies, including without limitation external or internal auditors, Vendor’s data protection officer, the IT security department, data protection or quality auditors or other mutually agreed to third parties or certification by way of an IT security or data protection audit. Onsite audits at sub-processors premises may be performed by Vendor acting on behalf of Controller.

    c. Audit Process. Unless otherwise required by Data Protection Laws, Customer may request a summary audit report(s) or audit Vendor no more than once annually. Customer must provide at least four (4) weeks’ prior written notice to Vendor of a request for summary audit report(s) or request to audit. The scope of any audit will be limited to Vendor’s policies, procedures and controls relevant to the protection of Customer’s Personal Data and defined in Schedule 1. Subject to Section 7(b), all audits will be conducted during normal business hours, at Vendor's principal place of business or other Vendor location(s) where Personal Data is accessed, processed or administered, and will not unreasonably interfere with Vendor's day-to-day operations. An audit will be conducted at Customer‘s sole cost and by a mutually agreed upon third party who is engaged and paid by Customer, and is under a non-disclosure agreement containing confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the Agreement, obligating it to maintain the confidentiality of all Vendor Confidential Information and all audit findings. Further, Customer agrees to pay the costs of any support provided by Vendor (including internal resources) based on Vendor’s then-current rates. Before the commencement of any such on-site audit, Vendor and Customer shall mutually agree upon the timing, and duration of the audit. Vendor will reasonably cooperate with the audit, including providing auditor the right to review but not to copy Vendor security information or materials during normal business hours. Customer shall, at no charge, provide to Vendor a full copy of all findings of the audit. The results of the audit will be considered “Confidential Information” of Vendor.

  8. DATA TRANSFER

    Customer hereby directs Vendor to transfer and process Personal Data in the United States and in other locations around the world where Vendor or its sub-processors maintain data processing operations as necessary to provide the Tech Services or as otherwise set forth in the Agreement. If required under Data Protection Laws, such measures may include (without limitation) transferring Personal Data to a recipient in a country that provides adequate protection for personal data, to a recipient that has achieved binding corporate rules authorization, or to a recipient that has executed standard contractual clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission. In addition, Customer hereby authorizes, appoints, and directs the Vendor, as agent for Customer, to enter into Controller to Processor Standard Contractual Clauses or any other legal document reasonably necessary for the Vendor to provide Tech Services.

  9. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

    To the fullest extent allowed under any Data Protection Law, each party’s and all of its affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the “Limits of Liability” section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its affiliates under the Agreement and this DPA. For the avoidance of doubt, Vendor’s and its affiliates’ total liability for all claims from the Customer arising out of or related to the Agreement and each DPA shall apply in the aggregate for all claims under both the Agreement and this DPA. If required by Data Protection Laws, Vendor shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its sub-processors to the same extent Vendor would be liable if performing the Tech Services of each sub-processor directly under the terms of this DPA.

  10. GOVERNING LAW
