CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. |
The Parties acknowledge that each may have access to, or be provided with, information or documentation, which each Party regards as confidential or proprietary. The receiving parties are referred to as ‘Recipient’ and the party providing the information is referred to as ‘Owner’. Such information or documentation shall be dealt with as set forth below.
|
|
A. |
DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. “Confidential Information” includes both information of a commercial nature and information related to customers of the ATMs. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the following whether now in existence of hereafter created: |

all information marked as "confidential" or similarly marked, or information that the Recipient should, in the exercise of reasonable business judgment, recognize as confidential; |

|
|
(1) |
Confidential Information must be held in confidence and disclosed only to those employees or agents whose duties reasonably require access to such information. Recipient must protect the Owner’s Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure or duplication (except as required for backup systems) of such Confidential Information as Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature. |

security and confidentiality of Customer Information; |

|
|
C. |
Compelled Disclosure . If Recipient is required by a court or governmental agency having proper jurisdiction to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient must promptly provide to the Owner notice of such request to enable the Owner to seek an appropriate protective order. |
|
|
D. |
Limited Use of Confidential Information and Survival of Obligations. Recipient may use the Confidential Information only as necessary for Recipient’s performance hereunder or pursuant to rights granted herein and for no other purpose.

Recipient’s obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure survive termination or expiration for any reason of this Agreement. |
|
|
E. |
Disposition of Confidential Information. |
Recipient must develop and maintain appropriate security measures for the proper disposal and destruction of Confidential Information. Upon Expiration of Recipient's limited right to use the Confidential Information, Recipient must return all physical embodiments thereof to Owner or, with Owner's permission, Recipient may destroy the Confidential Information. Recipient shall provide written certification to Owner that Recipient has returned, or destroyed, all such Confidential Information in Recipient's possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may retain one archival copy of Confidential Information, which may be used solely to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section.
|
|
F. |
Disclosure to Third Parties. If disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties is required or allowed under this Agreement, Recipient must ensure that such third parties have express obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure substantially similar to Recipient’s obligations hereunder. Liability for damages because of disclosure of Confidential Information by any such third parties must be borne by Recipient. |
|
|
G. |
Exclusions. Except for Customer(s) information, the term "Confidential Information" excludes any portion of such information that Recipient can establish by clear and convincing evidence to have: |
|
|
(1) |
been publicly known without breach of this Agreement; |
|
|
(2) |
been known by Recipient without any obligation of confidentiality, prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information; or |
|
|
(3) |
been received in good faith from a third-party source that to Recipient’s reasonable knowledge rightfully disclosed such information; or |
|
|
(4) |
been developed independently by Recipient without reference to the Owner’s Confidential Information. |

|
|
I. |
Intrusions/Disclosures. If there is any actual or suspected theft of, accidental disclosure of, loss of, or inability to account for any Confidential Information by a Party or any of its subcontractors (collectively “Disclosure”) or any unauthorized intrusions into a Party’s or any of its subcontractor’s facilities or secure systems which likely affect the security of another Party’s Confidential Information, (collectively “Intrusion”) the Party must immediately i) notify the other Party, ii) estimate the Disclosure’s or Intrusion’s effect on the other Party, iii) specify the corrective action to be taken, and iv) investigate and determine if an Intrusion or Disclosure has occurred. If, based upon the Party’s investigation, the Party determines that there has been an actual Disclosure or Intrusion, the Party must promptly notify the other Party, and must promptly investigate the scope of the Disclosure or Intrusion, and must promptly take corrective action to prevent further Disclosure or Intrusion. The Party must, as soon as is reasonably practicable, make a report to the other Party including details of the Disclosure (including Customer(s)’ identities and the nature of the information disclosed) or Intrusion and the corrective action the Party has taken to prevent further Disclosure or Intrusion. The Party must, in the case of a Disclosure cooperate fully with the other Party to notify the other Party’s Customer(s) as to the fact of and the circumstances of the Disclosure of the Customer’s particular information. Additionally, the Party must cooperate fully with all government regulatory agencies or law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction and authority for investigating a Disclosure or any known or suspected criminal activity. |
|
VII. |
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION. |
|
|
A. |
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY . The Parties acknowledge that the fees for the services provided by Genpass are very small in relation to the Currency provided and consequently Genpass’s willingness to provide the Currency is based in part upon the liability limitations contained herein. Therefore, Genpass’s liability hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the fees received by Genpass during the three (3) months prior to any claim made against Genpass for damages. In no event will Genpass, or its agents, officers, directors, or employees be liable for any indirect, exemplary, punitive, special, or consequential damages. Additionally, Carrier’s liability shall not exceed those amounts specified in Exhibit B. Carrier and its agents, officers, directors, or employees shall not be liable for any indirect, exemplary, punitive |
