By enabling use of the Service with any Source or Destination, Customer authorizes Voxeleron to access Customer’s accounts with such Source or Destination for the purposes described in this Agreement.   Voxeleron may also disclose that Customer is a customer of Voxeleron and related technical Service data to providers of third-party Sources and Destinations used by Customer with the Service.
    • No Sensitive Personal Information. Customer specifically agrees not to use the Service to collect, store, process or transmit any Sensitive Personal Information.  Customer acknowledges that Voxeleron is not a Business Associate or subcontractor (as those terms are defined in HIPAA) or a payment card processor and that the Service is neither HIPAA nor PCI DSS compliant.  Voxeleron shall have no liability under this Agreement for Sensitive Personal Information, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
    • Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Voxeleron from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any claim arising from or relating to any Customer Data or breach or alleged breach by Customer of Sections 2.2 (Rights in Customer Data) or 2.3 (No Sensitive Personal Information).  This indemnification obligation is subject to Customer receiving (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Customer to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claim; and (iii) all necessary cooperation of Voxeleron at Customer’s expense.
  2. Voxeleron agrees to use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure of the Service or Customer Data, as further described in Voxeleron’s Customer Data & Security Policy attached as Exhibit B.  However, Voxeleron shall have no responsibility for errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access or other causes beyond Voxeleron’s control.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Customer agrees that Voxeleron may obtain and aggregate technical and other data about Customer’s use of the Service that is non-personally identifiable with respect to Customer (“Aggregated Anonymous Data”), and Voxeleron may use the Aggregated Anonymous Data to analyze, improve, develop, support and operate the Service and for distribution in general benchmarking data and industry reports.  For clarity, this Section 4.4 does not give Voxeleron the right to identify Customer as the source of any Aggregated Anonymous Data.

  9. INDEMNIFICATION. Voxeleron shall defend Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that the Service when used as authorized under this Agreement infringes a U.S. patent or any copyright or trademark and shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages and costs awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by Voxeleron (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such claim, provided that Voxeleron has received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Voxeleron to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer.  If Customer’s use of the Service is (or in Voxeleron’s opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement or if Voxeleron determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, Voxeleron may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Service; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate the Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Subscription Term that was paid by Customer but not rendered by Voxeleron. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Voxeleron shall not apply: (1) if the Service is modified by any party other than Voxeleron, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) if the Service is combined with products or processes not provided by Voxeleron, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorized use of the Service; (4) to any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within the Service; (5) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim without Voxeleron’s prior written consent; or (6) to Beta Releases or any use provided on a no-charge or evaluation basis.  THIS SECTION 10 SETS FORTH Voxeleron’s AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
  10. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party (as “Receiving Party”) agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any Voxeleron technology, performance information relating to the Service, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of Voxeleron without any marking or further designation.  Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party shall (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement.  The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Voxeleron, the subcontractors referenced in Section 13.9), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 11 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 11.  The Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations shall not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information.  The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.  The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
  11. CO-MARKETING. Customer agrees to participate in reasonable marketing activities that promote the benefits of the Service to other potential customers and to use of Customer’s name and logo on Voxeleron’s web site and in Voxeleron promotional materials.

Exhibit B

CUSTOMER DATA & SECURITY POLICY

Voxeleron considers protection of Customer Data a top priority.  As further described in this policy, Voxeleron uses commercially reasonable organizational and technical measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure of Customer Data stored on systems under Voxeleron’s control.

  1. Access to Customer Data. Voxeleron limits its personnel’s access to Customer Data as follows:
    • Requires unique user access authorization through secure logins and passwords, including multi-factor authentication for Cloud Hosting administrator access and individually-assigned Secure Socket Shell (SSH) keys for external engineer access;
    • Limits the Customer Data available to Voxeleron personnel on a “need to know” basis;
    • Restricts access to Voxeleron’s production environment by Voxeleron personnel on the basis of business need; and
    • Encrypts user security credentials for production access.
  1. Data Encryption. Voxeleron provides industry-standard encryption for Customer Data both in flight and at rest as follows:
    • Implements End-to-End Transport Layer Security (TLS) across the platform;
    • Uses strong encryption methodologies to protect Customer Data, including AES 256-bit encryption for Customer Data stored in Voxeleron’s production environment; and
    • Encrypts all Customer Data stored on cloud or electronic portable storage devices such as computer laptops, portable drives and other similar devices while at rest.
  1. Data Management
    • Voxeleron creates an audit trail for key verification with each integration, with user-specific integration key generation alert controls.
    • Voxeleron logically separates each of its customers’ data and maintains measures designed to prevent Customer Data from being exposed to or accessed by other customers.
  1. Network Security, Physical Security and Environmental Controls
    • Voxeleron uses a variety of techniques designed to detect and/or prevent unauthorized access to systems processing Customer Data, including firewalls, network access controls, and intrusion detection systems.
    • Voxeleron maintains measures designed to assess, test and apply security patches to all relevant systems and applications used to provide the Service.
    • Voxeleron monitors privileged access to applications that process Customer Data, including cloud services.
    • The Service operates on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and is protected by Amazon’s security and environmental controls. Detailed information about AWS security is available at https://aws.amazon.com/security/ and http://aws.amazon.com/security/sharing-the-security-responsibility/. For AWS SOC Reports, please see https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/soc-faqs/.
  1. Independent Security Assessments. Voxeleron periodically assesses the security of its systems and the Service as follows:
    • Annual detailed security and vulnerability assessments of the Service conducted by independent third-party security experts that include a thorough code analysis and a comprehensive security audit. Voxeleron shall attest to Customer the date of the most recent security and vulnerability assessment at Customer’s reasonable request.
    • Annual penetration testing of Voxeleron systems and applications to test for exploits including, but not limited to, XSS, SQL injection, access controls, and CSRF.
    • Continuous vulnerability scanning, including review of any new code added to the Service.
  2. Incident Response. If Voxeleron becomes aware of unauthorized access or disclosure of Customer Data under its control (a “Breach”), Voxeleron will:
    • Take reasonable measures to mitigate the harmful effects of the Breach and prevent further unauthorized access or disclosure.
    • Upon confirmation of the Breach, notify Customer in writing of the Breach without undue delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Voxeleron is not required to make such notice to the extent prohibited by Laws, and Voxeleron may delay such notice as requested by law enforcement and/or in light of Voxeleron’s legitimate needs to investigate or remediate the matter before providing notice.
    • Each notice of a Breach will include:
    • The extent to which Customer Data has been, or is reasonably believed to have been, used, accessed, acquired or disclosed during the Breach;
    • A description of what happened, including the date of the Breach and the date of discovery of the Breach, if known;
    • The scope of the Breach, to the extent known; and
    • A description of Voxeleron’s response to the Breach, including steps Voxeleron has taken to mitigate the harm caused by the Breach.
  3. Business Continuity Management
    • Voxeleron maintains an appropriate business continuity and disaster recovery plan.
    • Voxeleron maintains processes to ensure failover redundancy with its systems, networks and data storage.
  4. Personnel Management
    • Voxeleron performs employment verification, including proof of identity validation and criminal background checks for all new hires, including contract employees.
    • Voxeleron provides training for its personnel who are involved in the processing of the Customer Data to ensure they do not collect, process or use Customer Data without authorization and that they keep Customer Data confidential, including following the termination of any role involving the Customer Data.
    • Voxeleron conducts routine and random monitoring of employee systems activity.
    • Upon employee termination, whether voluntary or involuntary, Voxeleron immediately disables all access to critical and noncritical systems.
