The Indemnifying Party shall defend such claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense. The Indemnified Party may have separate counsel who shall be employed by the Indemnified Party at the Indemnified Party’s expense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of such separate counsel if, in the opinion of counsel to the Indemnifying Party, the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are adverse such that separate counsel for the Indemnified Party is required. Knowledge by the Indemnified Party of any breach or non-compliance hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of the Indemnified Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, provided the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such breach or non-compliance in a timely manner.
  1. Confidentiality.
9.1 Each Party and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, authorized representatives, agents and advisors (including without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) shall keep confidential all information concerning the other Party’s proprietary business procedures, products, services, operations, marketing materials, fees, policies or plans and all Nonpublic Personal Information of the other Party that is received or obtained during the negotiation or performance of the Agreement, whether such information is oral or written, and whether or not labeled as confidential by such Party (collectively “Confidential Information”). “Nonpublic Personal Information” shall include all personally identifiable financial information and any list, description or other grouping of consumers, and publicly available information pertaining to them, that is derived using any personally identifiable financial information that is not publicly available, and shall further include all “nonpublic personal information” as defined by federal regulations implementing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, as amended from time to time. “Personally identifiable financial information” means any information a consumer provides to a Party in order to obtain a financial product or service, any information a Party otherwise obtains about a consumer in connection with providing a financial product or service to that consumer, and any information about a consumer resulting from any transaction involving a financial product or service between a Party and a consumer. Personally identifiable information may include, without limitation, a consumer’s first and last name, physical address, zip code, email address, phone number, social security number, birth date, and any other information that itself identifies or when tied to the above information, may identify a consumer. 9.2 Use of Confidential Information. For as long as Confidential Information is in possession of a Party, such Party shall take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, to prevent the use, duplications or disclosure of Confidential Information, other than, by or to its employees or agents who are directly involved in negotiating or performing this Agreement and who are apprised of their obligations under this Section 9 and directed by the receiving Party to treat such information confidentially, or except as required by law or by a supervising regulatory agency of a receiving Party. Neither Party shall disclose, share, rent, sell or transfer to any third party any Confidential Information. The Parties shall use Confidential Information only as necessary to perform this Agreement. 9.3 Return of Information; Indemnity. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return all Confidential Information received in connection with the transaction, or shall promptly destroy any materials containing such information (and any copies, extracts, and summaries thereof) and shall provide the disclosing Party with written confirmation of such return or destruction upon request. In the event a Party discovers that Confidential Information has been used in an unauthorized manner or disclosed in violation of this Section 9, the Party discovering the unauthorized use or disclosure shall immediately notify the other Party of such event, and the disclosing Party shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from all claims, damage, liability, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, the non-disclosing Party shall be entitled to all other remedies available at law or equity, including injunctive relief.
  1. Ownership. The software, technology and other intellectual property and Program Materials of Company is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Company.
  1. Dispute Resolution.
11.1 In the event any claim, dispute or controversy between the Parties arises out of or relates to this Agreement (a “Contract Dispute”), the Parties agree that before resorting to any formal dispute resolution process as set forth in this Section 11, the Parties will first attempt to negotiate in good faith to find a mutually acceptable resolution to the Contract Dispute for at least ten (10) business days. 11.2 Arbitration. If the negotiations set forth in Section 11.1 above do not occur or do not result in mutually acceptable resolution, the Parties agree that any Contract Dispute, other than those that would be barred at law or in equity by an applicable statute of limitations, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator with expertise in consumer lending mutually agreed between the Parties or, if the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, by an arbitrator appointed by AAA. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, CA. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Each Party will, upon written request of the other Party, promptly provide the other with copies of all relevant documents. There shall be no other discovery allowed. The arbitration will be based on the submission of documents and there shall be no in-person or oral hearing. Any Party may seek emergency relief, including injunctive relief, from the arbitrator until the arbitration award is rendered or the Contract Dispute is otherwise resolved. If emergency relief is requested, the AAA shall expedite the matter to the arbitrator for resolution. Any Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction, any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party, including any injunctive relief, until the arbitrator is appointed, the arbitration award is rendered or the Contract Dispute is otherwise resolved. Time is of the essence for any arbitration under this Agreement and arbitration hearings shall take place within 90 days of filing and awards rendered within 120 days. The arbitrator shall agree to these limits prior to accepting appointment. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator shall not award consequential damages in any arbitration initiated under this Section 11. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration. The award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion. Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.
