Supplier may generate, use and disclose on an aggregated, anonymized basis statistical data derived from End User use of the Services or derived from Customer Data, provided that such data shall not identify the Customer or any End Users (“Aggregated Data”), which shall not be considered Customer Data. Both parties will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “CCPA”). The Supplier shall take reasonable actions necessary to enable the Customer to comply with its obligations under the CCPA, as applicable.

The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the Customer is not providing any personal information to the Supplier for monetary or any other valuable consideration. For purposes of this Section 8.2,“personal information”, “consumer”, “commercial purpose” and “sell” shall have the meaning as defined in CCPA except that “personal information” shall be limited to the personal information the Supplier collects for or receives from or creates, receives, transmits or maintains on behalf of the Customer. The Supplier certifies that it understands the restrictions contained in this Section 8.2.

Pursuant to 34 CFR 99.31(a)(1), if the latter designation of “School Official” applies, the Supplier hereby agrees that: (i) the Supplier shall only use the foregoing education records and PII to provide the Services under the terms of this Agreement, and that for purposes of FERPA, this Agreement establishes that the Supplier is under the control of the Customer with respect to use and maintenance of the educational records; and (ii) the Supplier shall not redisclose any personally identifiable information from education records of student End Users without the prior written permission or direction of the Customer or as required by applicable law. The parties agree that education records and PII of student End Users, as defined by FERPA, are within the larger category or “personal information” under this Section 8 and within Customer Data.

(ii) notify the Supplier in writing and the Supplier shall permanently delete all Customer Data relating to such End User within eighteen (18) months following such termination, unless within twelve (12) months following such termination the Customer also gives the Supplier written notice that such End User intends to enter into a separate agreement with the Supplier to continue to use the Services on their own (in which case, the Supplier may retain the Customer Data relating to such End User in order to give effect to the request) or unless the Supplier is required by applicable law to retain such records.

(b) At the end of the Subscription Term, the Supplier (as mutually agreed with Customer) shall either:

(i) return all Customer Data within twelve (12) months following such termination; unless within such twelve (12)-month period the Customer also gives the Supplier written notice that specific End Users intend to enter into a separate agreement with the Supplier to continue to use the Services on their own (in which case, the Supplier may retain the Customer Data relating to such End Users in order to give effect to their requests) or unless the Supplier is required by applicable law to retain such records, or

16. WAIVER. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with the Schedules attached hereto and the Accepted Quotation, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all previous agreements, understandings and arrangements between them in respect of its subject matter, whether in writing or oral. Each party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement.

20. AMENDMENT. No amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the authorized representatives of the parties.

21. SEVERABILITY.

25. FORCE MAJEURE.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Supplier may seek redress in the state and federal courts of the State of New York, including injunctive relief, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the Intellectual Property Rights and Confidential Information protections of this Agreement by the Customer, and the Customer hereby waives any claim of an inconvenient forum in such courts for such purposes.
