Unless otherwise agreed, you agree not to provide, or allow any third party to provide, any ClassPass Data to any other party via the API or otherwise, other than for the Permitted Purpose and subject to provisions not less stringent than this Agreement. You are responsible for the acts and omissions of any such third party. You agree to store all ClassPass Data separately from other data sets collected by you or otherwise provided to you by your customers or partners.
4. Data Protection. To the extent you access via the API PII that relates to individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Brazil, or which relates to residents of the State of California, or any other territory or jurisdiction with analogous data protection laws and regulations, you warrant and represent that you: (1) act as a Processor, Service Provider, or other analogous term, to each of your Merchants; and (2) have in place written agreements with Merchants with respect to the protection of PII as may be required under applicable data protections laws and regulations.
5. Data Security and Breach Management.

These measures shall be appropriate to the harm which might result from any unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, damage, or theft of the PII and having regard to the nature of the PII which is to be protected. As a minimum, these should include the requirements required under Applicable Laws. If you become aware of any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, PII contained within the Licensed Materials (a “Breach”), you will immediately: (1) promptly notify CP of the Breach; (2) investigate the Breach and provide CP with information about the Breach; (3) take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects and to minimize any damage resulting from the Breach; and (4) co-operate with CP and take such reasonable commercial steps as are directed by CP to assist in the investigation, mitigation, and remediation of each such Breach; (5) not make any communication to any End User concerning the Breach without CP’s prior written consent unless such individual is also a direct user of Your Platform.

12.2 Disclaimer. CP makes no representations that the Licensed Material, or the CP Platform, is free of inaccuracy, error, or bug, or will operate reliably, accurately and without interruption.

14. Limitation of Liability. In no event shall CP be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages of any kind, or for any lost profits or revenues, in connection with or arising from this Agreement.

15. Confidentiality. You will not use or disclose Confidential Information other than as required for the Permitted Purpose and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any information provided by you to CP hereunder is considered non-confidential unless otherwise agreed, and CP has no duty or obligation with respect to such information. You agree that any breach by you of the foregoing may cause irreparable harm to CP, and that CP shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict of laws principles. The parties hereto agree to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York and agree that such courts are a convenient forum for the resolution of all disputes between them.
17. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings. CP may amend this Agreement at any time without advance notice to you or consent by you. This Agreement may not otherwise be amended or modified except by mutual agreement of authorized representatives of the parties in writing. You may not assign this Agreement without CP’s express written consent. CP may transfer or assign this Agreement to a present or future affiliate or pursuant to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or our business without the requirement for prior notice to, or consent from, you. You shall not make any press release or other public statements regarding the other party or this Agreement without the prior written consent of CP. A party’s failure at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect such party's right at a later time to enforce the same unless the party waives such right in writing. No waiver by a party of a breach of a term contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach of any other term of this Agreement. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Licensed Material, any information you provide via the API, and/or this Agreement (including the formation, performance, or alleged breach), shall be submitted individually by you and will not be subject to any class action or representative status. You understand that by agreeing to this class action waiver, you may only pursue any dispute, claim or controversy against CP in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
