For clarity, Intuit may use Aggregated and Anonymized Data to publish research data from time to time, and may use, display, distribute or license such Aggregated and Anonymized Data for purposes of helping Intuit (i) improve the Intuit Developer Services and its other products and services, (ii) enable a better and more accurate user experience, and (iii) assist in troubleshooting and providing technical support.
12.4 Roles Regarding Personal Information. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Intuit and Developer shall each independently determine the purposes and means of processing any Personal Information and are independent controllers, and not joint controllers, of Personal Information and, as such, independently determine the purposes and the means of the processing of that Personal Information. Neither Party is required to retain authorization or instruction from the other Party with regard to the processing of Personal Information that it controls. Each Party shall be solely responsible for its compliance with Applicable Law in the processing, sharing, and transferring of Personal Information, including but not limited to (i) ensuring that Personal Information is fairly and lawfully processed, on the basis of one or more legal grounds found in Applicable Law, (ii) the exercise of individual rights by Users, and (iii) matters relating to requests from and other interactions with a regulatory authority. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Intuit shall not be liable, whether jointly or severally, for any compensation, damages, losses, fees, or costs resulting from your processing of User Data, including Personal Information.
12.5 European Union (EU) Personal Data. Without limiting the foregoing, if you process “personal data” as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and/or the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (“UK GDPR”), including, any applicable implementing or supplementary national legislation and any successor, amendment or re-enactment (“EU Personal Data”), then the following provisions apply: (i) you will provide reasonable assistance to Intuit where, in Intuit’s judgment, the type of processing of EU Personal Data performed by you is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons (e.g., systematic and extensive profiling, processing sensitive EU Personal Data on a large scale and systematic monitoring on a large scale, or where the processing uses new technologies) and thus requires a data protection impact assessment and/or prior consultation with the relevant data protection authorities; and (ii) if you process EU Personal Data outside of the EU or the United Kingdom (“UK”), as relevant, you will comply with the GDPR with regard to any cross border transfers of EU Personal Data. This may include: (i) processing EU Personal Data only in adequate jurisdictions as defined in the GDPR, to the extent such processing occurs in the United States; or (ii) use of a valid cross-border transfer mechanism as approved by the European Commission.
13. SECURITY POLICIES, INCIDENTS AND REMEDIATION

Likewise your policies and procedures must include measures to detect, prevent, respond to, remediate, and otherwise address any Security Incident.
13.2 Remediation of Developer Application Disruptions. You must establish and implement policies and procedures to prevent a Developer Application Disruption. In the event of a Developer Application Disruption, we will attempt to inform you of the same. If you first discover Developer Application Disruption then you will provide Intuit prompt written notice of the same. In either case you must remediate the Developer Application Disruption using commercially reasonable efforts and within a commercially reasonable timeframe providing Intuit with regular updates regarding the status of your remediation while proactively resolving issues related to User experience, as necessary.
13.3 Suspension of Access. Intuit may suspend your access to the Developer Platform at any time and in its sole discretion (i) to remedy or mitigate a Security Incident; (ii) to remedy or mitigate a Developer Application Disruption; (iii) to remedy or mitigate an attack on or vulnerability of the Developer Platform; (iv) to avoid violating Applicable Law or regulatory guidance; (v) in the event of a material financial or reputational risk to Intuit; (vi) if a Developer fails to comply with this Agreement or Policy; (vii) if a Developer fails to timely remit payment to Intuit; or (viii) any action that violates the spirit of this Agreement (“Suspension of Access”). If you are unable to resolve any issues related to access, a Suspension of Access and/or a Security Incident within timeframes provided, below, then Intuit may terminate this Agreement by written notice to you without incurring liability.
13.4 Security Incident Notice. You will notify Intuit without undue delay, and in all events no later than 24 hours, after discovery of a Security Incident (“Security Incident Notice”). Such Security Incident Notice shall include a detailed description of the Security Incident, data subject to the Security Incident, including but not limited to Intuit Content, EU Personal Data, Personal Information, User Data and any other information Intuit may reasonably request concerning the Security Incident.
13.5 Risk Classification and Service Level Availability (SLA) for Security Incidents.

Security Incident Risk Classification | SLA Remediation from Date of Discovery |
Immediate | 7 Days |
High | 30 Days |
Medium | 90 Days |
Low | 1 Year |
13.6 Security Incident Remediation. You must take immediate action to investigate and remediate a Security Incident, using your best efforts to remediate any harm caused by it. You will promptly investigate the Security Incident, at your own expense, to identify, prevent and mitigate the effects of any such Security Incident, and carry out any and all remediation necessary. If a Security Incident gives rise to a need, in Intuit’s sole judgment: (i) for you or Intuit to notify Users and/or any regulatory authorities, individuals or other persons, you agree to coordinate with Intuit regarding any such notifications with respect to a Security Incident or (ii) for you or Intuit to undertake other remedial measures in accordance with industry practices and Applicable Law including, without limitation, notice to Users, credit monitoring services, and the establishment of a call center to respond to inquiries (“Remedial Action”). You shall take such Remedial Action at Intuit’s request and direction and at your expense. Any Remedial Action must include notifying Intuit of the actions you are taking to resolve and when the issue is resolved. Further, Intuit shall have the right to issue a Suspension of Access and take any action it deems necessary to protect User Data. You will bear reasonable costs or losses that Intuit may incur directly as the result of a Security Incident. Intuit has the right to investigate any Security Incident and you agree to cooperate fully in such investigation.
13.7 Security Industry Audit. If we reasonably believe that a Security Incident or compromise of data has occurred, we may require you, at your expense, to have a competent, industry-recognized third-party auditor that is approved by Intuit conduct a security audit of your systems and facilities and to issue a report to be provided to us or our security providers.
14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
14.1 Definition of Confidential Information. Pursuant to this Agreement, a Party (“Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the other Party (“Receiving Party”) orally, in writing, or electronically, or other form or media, non-public confidential information which either has been marked or identified at the time of disclosure as confidential or is proprietary in nature so that the Receiving Party knows or should reasonably know that the information is considered confidential (“Confidential Information”).

14.4 Notice of Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. The Receiving Party shall immediately notify in writing Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
14.5 Permitted Disclosure.

14.6 Treatment of Confidential Information Upon Specified Event. Upon the termination, uncured material breach, or expiration of this Agreement, or upon the request of Discloser, the Recipient shall promptly return, destroy or Securely Delete such data and/or materials containing Confidential Information (and any copies, extracts, and summaries thereof) and shall further provide Discloser with written confirmation of secure deletion or destruction upon request, except that the Receiving Party may keep such copies of such Confidential Information for archival and record-keeping purposes as required by Applicable Law.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
19.1 General Agreement on Arbitration and Small Claims. You and Intuit agree that, except as provided below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Developer Platform or this Agreement (a “Claim”) will be resolved through binding arbitration or in small claims court, rather than in courts of general jurisdiction.
19.2 Small Claims Court. A claim may be brought in the small claims court in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, California, United States.
19.3 Arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, using a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allowing for more limited discovery, and subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. You and Intuit each waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879, except as modified by this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed by Intuit and you, any arbitration hearings will occur in the county (or parish) of either your residence or the mailing address you provided in your Notice of Arbitration Claim.
19.4 Notice of Arbitration Claim. To initiate arbitration, you must first send Intuit a written Notice of your Claim (“Notice of Arbitration Claim”) to our registered agent, Corporation Service Company, located at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. The Notice should include both your mailing and email address for contact purposes. If Intuit initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to your address on file. The Notice must describe the claim’s nature and basis and specify the damages or relief sought.
19.5 Good-Faith Resolution. Before filing a Claim in small claims court or commencing arbitration, but after a Notice of Arbitration Claim is issued, both parties will attempt to resolve the Claim in good faith through an in-person or videoconference meeting. If the parties do not reach an agreement within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Arbitration Claim is received, either Party may proceed by filing a Demand for Arbitration or a Claim in small claims court. If a dispute arises about whether a Claim qualifies for small claims court, this shall be resolved by the court, not by an arbitrator.
19.6 Arbitration Fees and Costs. All filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by AAA Rules. You must pay the initial filing fee, though Intuit will reimburse you if this fee exceeds the cost of filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your jurisdiction or Santa Clara County, California, unless the arbitrator deems your Claim or the relief sought frivolous or for an improper purpose per Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).
19.7 Class Action Waiver. You and Intuit agree to bring claims only individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless agreed otherwise by both parties, the arbitrator will not consolidate other persons’ claims with yours and will not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
19.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. For the purposes of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, only Intuit’s affiliates and subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries entitled to enforce this Agreement’s terms against you without requiring their consent to any changes to this Agreement. This Agreement benefits only the signatories, and no other person has any rights, legal or equitable, under this Agreement.
20. INSURANCE
During the Term, you shall maintain, at your own expense, comprehensive insurance coverage including professional liability, cyber liability, general liability, and, if applicable, product liability. This coverage will address claims related to errors, cyber threats, bodily injuries, property damage, and product-related damages per your responsibilities outlined in this Agreement.
21. GENERAL
21.1 Authority. You represent and warrant that if you are an individual acting on behalf of another individual or entity that you are of legal age and capacity to contract and that you are authorized to execute this Agreement.
21.2 Assignment and Waiver. You are not permitted to assign or transfer this Agreement without the prior written consent of Intuit. Any assignment or transfer executed by you without such consent shall be deemed void and ineffective. Nevertheless, if an unauthorized assignment or transfer occurs, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain binding upon the assignee. Intuit, on the other hand, may assign or transfer this Agreement without your consent, either (i) to an Affiliate, or (ii) as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. If you wish to request permission for an assignment of this Agreement, please contact Intuit. Failure by Intuit to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to enforce that or any other provision in the future.
21.3 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The Parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement or to any dispute or transaction arising out of this Agreement.
21.4 Interpretation and Severability. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any Exhibit the conflicting provisions of the Exhibit will govern solely with respect to the specific subject matter thereof. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any interpretation of this Agreement may not be construed against a Party by virtue of that Party having drafted the provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.
21.5 Intuit Does Not Give Professional Advice. Intuit does not provide legal, financial, or other professional advice or services. Should you seek such advice you should consult the services of a competent professional.
21.6 Notice. We may send you messages, notices, or critical alerts about our Developer Platform and Programs via email or through postings on our website. It is essential that you maintain a valid and active email address to ensure receipt of these communications.
21.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding and entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, discussions, negotiations, promises, proposals, representations, and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Parties regarding the subject matter herein. You acknowledge and agree that you did not enter into this Agreement in reliance upon any agreement, promise, representation, or understanding made by or on behalf of Intuit.
