4. Confidentiality.

a. Any information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Recipient”) in connection with this Agreement that is marked confidential or that due to its character and nature a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as confidential (the “Confidential Information”) will be protected and held in confidence by the Recipient. Confidential Information will be used only for the purposes of this Agreement.

A Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that the Recipient provides the Disclosing Party with notice as soon as reasonably practicable to allow the Disclosing Party an opportunity to respond to such requirement, and provided further that such disclosure does not relieve Recipient of its confidentiality obligations with respect to any other party.
c. Upon the request of Disclosing Party, the Recipient shall promptly destroy or return to the Disclosing Party all copies of the Confidential Information and any documents derived from it. This obligation to return or destroy materials or copies thereof does not extend to automatically generated computer back-up or archival copies generated in the ordinary course of Recipient’s information systems procedures, provided that Recipient shall make no further use of Confidential Information contained in those copies. Except as to the confidentiality of trade secrets, these confidentiality restrictions and obligations will terminate two years after the expiration or termination of the Agreement. The Recipient may return any Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party at any time.

5. Customer Data.

a. Customer owns all Customer Data and is solely responsible for the accuracy, integrity, quality, legality, reliability, appropriateness of and copyright permissions of any Customer Data and for adopting procedures to identify and correct errors and omissions in Customer Data. LAKE has no obligation to review Customer Data for accuracy. Customer warrants to LAKE that Customer Data has been collected, processed and provided to LAKE in accordance with applicable laws on the protection of data subjects with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, including in particular any legislation implementing the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC) in the applicable EU member state (“Data Protection Laws”), and also including laws or regulations that will apply to the transfer of Customer Data by LAKE to any of its affiliates, employees, contractors and business partners located anywhere in the world. Customer consents to LAKE’s use of Customer Data, including consent for LAKE to move Customer Data from one environment to another located anywhere in the world, as required to provide Services, Support and Consulting Services, and that Customer will comply with the Data Protection Laws.

Customer further acknowledges and warrants the following:
i. For the purposes of the Services and Consulting Services, Customer is the data controller;
ii. Customer will collect, use, transfer and otherwise process any personal data collected by or through the Services and Consulting Services in compliance with all applicable laws, enactments, regulations, orders, standards and other similar instruments, including but not limited to the Data Protection Laws.

In particular, Customer is responsible for providing appropriate information and obtaining any required consent from Authorized Users including notice and consent allowing Customer to own and control all Customer Data that is provided by Authorized Users; and
iii. Customer has provided such information and obtained such consent to any processing of personal data by and through the Services and Consulting Services in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws.

b. LAKE will handle Customer Data only in accordance with this Agreement. LAKE may remove or modify Customer Data to comply with law or to bring the Customer Data in compliance with this Agreement. Each party will exercise reasonable and appropriate measures in the protection of Customer Data and in the prevention of any unauthorized person or entity from gaining access thereto in compliance with this Agreement and that party’s reasonable privacy policy. Customer is responsible for verifying that all Authorized Users accessing any Customer Data are eligible to gain access to that Customer Data. Except as stated herein, LAKE has no responsibility for unauthorized access to the Services. Each party will promptly notify the other if that party has actual knowledge of unauthorized access to and/or use of Customer Data or passwords and use reasonable efforts to take prompt remedial measures to rectify such unauthorized access. Customer is responsible for responding to all access requests, inquiries, or requests to correct Customer Data from Authorized Users or any other party. Customer is responsible for addressing any privacy breach and providing required notifications as required by law or regulation, provided, however, that Customer will not, without LAKE’s prior consent, make any public statement which directly or indirectly refers to LAKE in connection with any privacy breach, access request or correction request. Customer shall obtain all permissions and consents necessary to provide any Customer Data to LAKE in connection with the Services or Consulting Services.
c. Customer hereby agrees that LAKE is reliant on Customer for direction as to the extent to which LAKE is entitled to use and process the personal data through the Services or Consulting Services. Consequently, LAKE, in its capacity as data processor, will not be liable for any claim brought by a data subject (including Authorized Users) arising from any action or omission by LAKE, to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from the data controller’s instructions. As between LAKE and Customer, Customer is solely responsible and liable for any and all Customer Data that Customer or any Authorized User stores, transmits, displays, or otherwise uses in connection with the Services or Consulting Services. LAKE has no responsibility to Customer or to any third party in connection with such Customer Data and, as between LAKE and Customer, Customer is solely responsible for any losses or damage suffered by LAKE in connection with Customer Data.

d. LAKE reserves the right, at any time and without notice to Customer, to review, monitor, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all Customer Data from the Services which violate the terms of this Agreement, but LAKE has no obligation to do so. Customer agrees to immediately remove or modify any Customer Data that violates this Agreement or any applicable laws, rules, or regulations, including pursuant to a removal or modification request from LAKE; if Customer does not do so, LAKE may take down, delete or modify such Customer Data. LAKE assumes no liability or responsibility arising from Customer’s or any Authorized User’s activities in connection with the Services or Consulting Services, including, without limitation, any arising from Customer Data that Customer or any Authorized User stores or otherwise uses in connection with the Services or Consulting Services.
e. LAKE respects the intellectual property and other proprietary rights of others and has a policy of removing content from the Services that infringes third party copyrights or other intellectual property rights and suspending the user ID of any user who uses the Services in violation of copyright law or other laws governing intellectual property rights, and where appropriate, blocking such user’s access to the Services.
f. Without limiting Customer’s ownership rights in Customer Data, Customer acknowledges and agrees that LAKE shall have the right to utilize data capture, syndication and analysis tools and other similar tools to extract, compile, synthesize and analyse any non-personally and non-Customer identifiable data or information resulting from Customer’s use of the Services (“Statistical Data”).

LAKE in its sole discretion may terminate Customer’s Subscription if excessive usage is related to Evaluation Services.

b. If a Claim is made or appears possible, LAKE may, at its option, secure for Customer the right to continue to use the Services, modify or replace the Services so that they are non-infringing, or, if neither of the foregoing options is available in LAKE’s judgment, terminate this Agreement and refund Customer any unamortized prepaid fees for use of the infringing Services. LAKE shall have no liability or obligation with respect to any Claim if the infringement is caused by

c.

ii. Customer has breached any Third Party Terms, or
iii. Customer has violated the rights of the third party in posting, transmitting, storing, retaining or deleting Customer Data
