License Grant.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Citibank hereby grants the Supplier during the term of the Agreement a limited, revocable, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license and right, without the right to sublicense, to access and use the System and all tangible printed information (including any in electronic form) provided or made available from time to time by, or on behalf of, Citibank to the Supplier in connection with the use of the System (the "Policies and Procedures" and together with the System, the "Licensed Resources"), solely for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement (the "License"). Except as expressly set forth in the Agreement, the Supplier shall have no other right (including any ownership right or intellectual property right), title or interest to or in the Licensed Resources or any portion thereof.
The Supplier acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the System, including without limitation, all rights in inventions, patents, copyrights, design rights, database rights, trademarks and trade names, service marks, trade secrets, know-how and other intellectual property rights (whether registered or unregistered) and all applications and rights to apply for any of them anywhere in the world that apply to the Licensed Resources (together, the "Intellectual Property Rights"), are vested, and shall remain vested, in Citibank and its licensors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and except as otherwise may be expressly agreed in writing, all right, title and interest in and to modifications, revisions, upgrades, updates, derivative works and other improvements to or development of the System shall vest solely in Citibank and its licensors. Except for the grant herein by Citibank to the Supplier of the License, nothing in this Agreement shall act to operate as an assignment or other transfer of any of such rights to the Supplier.
The Supplier confirms that Citibank and its licensors may use any Message, Transaction data or other information posted by or on behalf of the Supplier for the purposes of providing services and processing Transactions under this Agreement and operating and maintaining System.
Usage.
The Supplier shall access and use, and shall ensure that its Authorized Users access and use, the System only in accordance with this Agreement and the Policies and Procedures. Citibank may at its sole discretion amend the System or the Policies and Procedures at any time.
The Supplier shall remain informed and notify its Authorized Users as to any updates to these Policies and Procedures that may be implemented from time to time. Approval and acceptance of an update to the Policies and Procedures shall be deemed to be given if the Supplier continues to utilize the System subsequent to the publication of any such update.
The Supplier shall promptly use any successors, updates, new releases or replacements of any portion of any and all equipment provided by Citibank to the Supplier for the purposes of accessing or using the System, including all authentication products (together, the "Equipment") or Licensed Resources provided to it from time to time by Citibank or otherwise, for use in accessing the System, and cease to use the previous version or release of such portion.
The Supplier shall have the right under the License to access the content of the website for the System on a computer screen, to print reasonable extracts from the website, and to save reasonable copies of data posted on the System to the Supplier's hard drive, in each case solely for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement. All other copying, distribution or commercial use of any of the content of the website is strictly forbidden. Except for the limited right granted by this paragraph 2(d), no other right or license is granted in respect of the content of the website.
The Supplier shall have no right to, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Citibank, alter or modify the whole or any part of the Licensed Resources.
Security, Authorized Users and Access.
The Supplier shall safeguard and keep confidential, and put into effect and maintain commercially reasonable security measures to safeguard and keep confidential, the Licensed Resources. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Supplier agrees that:
it will not knowingly interfere with, defeat, circumvent or tamper with a Message, or with the restrictions on use of functionality or access to information on any portion of the System, or attempt to do so;
it will not knowingly introduce into any portion of the System any virus or other data or code that harms, or may adversely affect, the operation of the System, and will put into effect and maintain commercially reasonable measures to prevent any such introduction;
it will ensure that all Messages being communicated by the Supplier through the System are sent in accordance with this Agreement and the Policies and Procedures;
the issuance of Logins to Authorized Users, to access the System and the rules and particular roles applicable to the various types of Authorized User shall be in accordance with the Policies and Procedures;
the Supplier warrants that each of its Authorized Users is authorized to bind the Supplier, and agrees to be bound by any usage of the System that occurs under any of its Authorized Users' Logins, unless it has previously notified Citibank in writing that particular Logins or Authorized Users are to be cancelled or their security has been compromised;
the Supplier shall ensure that only its Authorized Users access the System and shall procure that its Authorized Users: (a) maintain the secrecy of their Logins and do not disclose their Logins to any other person; and (b) are informed of and abide by the Policies and Procedures;
the Supplier shall immediately notify Citibank in writing if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use, loss or theft of its Authorized Users' Logins or if the Supplier becomes aware or suspects that any of them have become known by an unauthorized person. Upon such notification Citibank may (at its absolute discretion) revoke, suspend or disable such Logins and/or issue new Logins to the Supplier;
the Supplier shall not, and shall procure that any of its representatives do not, access or attempt to gain access to any part of the System that is not permitted under its Logins; and
the Supplier shall not use the System as or in connection with a bureau service or for the provision of services to third parties.
Messages.
The Supplier shall use the System to send all Messages under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Discount Offers and any updates to the Supplier's list of Authorized Users) on the Supplier's behalf.
Any Message or Transaction which appears to Citibank to be sent and or entered into by the Supplier via the System is valid and binding on the Supplier, and Citibank is entitled to rely thereon, irrespective of any error or fraud contained therein or the identity of the individual who sent the Message, except to the extent that such error or fraud or use of the System by an unauthorized third party is a result of the failure by Citibank, as the case may be, to use commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the System. The Supplier agrees that the act of sending a Message electronically in accordance with this Agreement is as legally binding as if the Supplier had manually executed and delivered that Message in written form, and that the Supplier will not contest the validity, legally binding nature or enforceability of that Message on the basis that the act of sending the Message electronically is invalid or not binding on the Supplier.
Neither party shall use the System to communicate formal contractual notice.
System Availability.
The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Citibank does not represent or warrant that the System will be error-free; (ii) Citibank provides no warranty as to the availability of the System and there will be downtime from time to time when the System cannot be accessed; and (iii) the Supplier is responsible for providing and maintaining, and Citibank does not have any liability or responsibility in respect of, equipment not supplied by or on behalf of Citibank, or utility services that the Supplier utilizes as a result of its participation in the System and maintaining a link to the System, or any failures, errors, unavailability or delays resulting from the use of such equipment or services.
Change of System.
Citibank may from time to time elect (in its sole discretion) to replace the current System with an alternative System. Citibank shall give the Supplier reasonable notice of the proposed replacement. The Supplier's ability to use the replacement System may be conditioned on the execution of License Agreement in respect of the replacement System by the Supplier and each relevant Buyer.
Confidentiality.
Notwithstanding Section 5.4 of this Agreement, Citibank may compile, copy, modify, license and exploit any and all data entered into the System by or on behalf of the Supplier, including without limitation Transaction data, Message data and statistical click-stream data, provided always that such data has been anonymized such that it does not compromise any personal data in contravention of any applicable personal data protection and privacy legislation and that it does not directly or indirectly identify any individuals, any Supplier or any other corporate entities.
