In addition, the parties understand and agree that MaxMind is not a consumer
reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C.
§1681 et seq. ("FCRA"), and that the Services do not constitute
"consumer reports" as defined in the FCRA. You understand that any information
you provide to MaxMind in order to use the Services has not been collected by
MaxMind for credit purposes and is not intended to be indicative of any
consumer's credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, or other
characteristics listed in Section 603(d) of the FCRA. You agree that you will
not use the Services to determine any consumer's eligibility for any product or
service to be used by a consumer for personal, family, or household purposes.
You also agree that you will not use the Services or any information received
through the Services in whole or in part (i) as a factor in establishing a
consumer's eligibility for credit, (ii) as a factor in establishing a
consumer's eligibility for insurance, (iii) for employment purposes, (iv) in
connection with a determination of an individual's eligibility for a license or
other benefit granted by a governmental authority, or (v) in connection with
any permissible purpose as defined by the FCRA. Any use of the Services by you
in violation of this paragraph shall also constitute an unacceptable use.
NON-DISCLOSURE OF MINFRAUD SERVICE OUTPUTS.
You may not, nor may you permit others to, disclose to any customer or other
third party any output returned by the minFraud Service (e.g., such response
values as the riskScore, proxyScore or proxy score, IP Risk Score, subscores,
high risk flags), recognizing that the confidentiality of such information is
vital to the performance of the minFraud service. Disclosure of such
information shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
You acknowledge and agree that MaxMind's trade secrets include, but are not
necessarily limited to, the Services. You further acknowledge and agree that
(a) all intellectual property rights including copyrights, moral rights,
trademarks, trade secrets, and proprietary rights to the Services are
exclusively owned by MaxMind and (b) you obtain no right, title, or interest
therein. You hereby assign to MaxMind all copyrights, intellectual property
rights, and any other proprietary or property rights or interests in and to any
work created in violation of this Agreement.
MaxMind's successful maintenance and operation of the Services require that it
store, retain, and utilize data that is submitted to it by customers who use
the Services. Accordingly, and to the extent that any data submitted to
MaxMind by you is protectable by copyright, moral rights, or any similar
intellectual property laws in any jurisdiction, you hereby assign and agree to
assign to MaxMind all right, title, and interest in and to such data and/or the
aggregated product of such data. To the extent that you are legally or
contractually unable to assign the foregoing rights of ownership, then you
hereby grant to MaxMind a fully paid-up, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable
license to use, copy, distribute, make derivative works, and otherwise
commercially exploit all such data in connection with MaxMind's business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, MaxMind shall comply with the terms of its own
Privacy Policy in place at the time of submission of any data to MaxMind.
PERSONAL DATA.
(a) Processing of Personal Data.
i. You acknowledge and agree that MaxMind will process personal data of end users,
consumers, or other individuals during or in connection with your use of the Services.
ii. You hereby instruct MaxMind to process any and all personal data elements that you choose
to make available to or through the Services or that you otherwise share with MaxMind in
order to provide you with and improve the Services (hereinafter "Personal Data"). You
acknowledge that, in following these instructions, MaxMind will combine the Personal Data
you choose to share with personal data received from other MaxMind customers in order to
provide you and other customers with more robust risk score information and in order to flag
potentially fraudulent activity. When MaxMind follows these instructions, it is operating as
the Data Processor. You are the Data Controller who determines which Personal Data
elements are relevant, and based on that analysis you decide in your sole discretion which
Personal Data elements to make available to or through the Service or otherwise share with
MaxMind. In these situations, MaxMind processes the Personal Data on your behalf.
iii. MaxMind may also operate as a Data Controller with respect to certain of its services and/or
databases. When MaxMind combines personal data elements from different customers, like
many kinds of analytics services, it may do this both as a Data Processor at your instruction
and as a Data Controller itself for the purpose of providing services to all of its customers.
For example, MaxMind may process and aggregate some of the personal data elements you
choose to pass to one GeoIP Service in order to make that personal data
part of another MaxMind GeoIP Database for one or more other services provided to
MaxMind customers. The personal data elements shared may be combined with personal
data elements chosen and provided by other customers.
iv. MaxMind requires, and you hereby warrant and represent, that any Personal Data you
submit to MaxMind to or through the Services, or during or in connection with your use of
the Services, has not been collected, stored, and transferred to MaxMind in violation of any
law, regulation, or contractual obligation applicable to you. You shall have sole
responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of the data and the means by which you
acquired the Personal Data.
v. With respect to your end users, you shall cause each end user to consent to the processing
by MaxMind of your end user's Personal Data, including but not limited to the use of
MaxMind cookies, flash tokens, HTML5, JavaScript, other technologies, and/or unique
identifiers employed to identify an end user's device or IP address, prior to the collection of
data in a manner consistent with applicable law including, where required by applicable law,
explicit consent for automated decision-making and other kinds of processing that might
require explicit consent. You shall make the terms of any such form or other agreement with
each end user at least as protective of MaxMind as the terms of this Agreement. If you make
any claim, representation or warranty regarding the Services that is different from or in
addition to those set forth in this Agreement, you shall be solely and exclusively responsible
for such claim, representation, or warranty to the extent such representation or warranty
differs from those herein and MaxMind shall have no liability for any such claim,
representation, or warranty. As between MaxMind and you, you are responsible for all acts
and omissions of your end users in connection with their use of the Services, and you will
reasonably cooperate with MaxMind in connection with any prohibited activities of any end
user in connection with the Services. You will promptly notify MaxMind if you become
aware of any such prohibited activities.
(b) Service Providers. You acknowledge and agree that MaxMind may retain third party service
providers during or in connection with your use of the Services. MaxMind shall enter into a
written agreement with each third party service provider containing data protection obligations
not less protective than those in this Agreement with respect to the protection of your end users'
Personal Data to the extent applicable to the services provided by the third party service provider.
(c) Security. MaxMind shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for the
protection of the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Personal Data (including protection
against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss,
or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data). MaxMind
regularly monitors compliance with these measures. MaxMind will not materially decrease the
overall security of the Services during its provision of the Services pursuant to this Agreement.
MaxMind shall ensure that persons authorized to carry out processing have committed
themselves to confidentiality or are under the appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
(d) Incident Management and Notification. MaxMind maintains security incident management
policies and procedures and shall notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of the
accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to
Personal Data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed by MaxMind or its subprocessors of
which MaxMind becomes aware (a "Data Incident"). MaxMind shall make reasonable efforts to
identify the cause of such Data Incident and take steps as MaxMind deems necessary and
reasonable in order to remediate the cause of such a Data Incident to the extent the remediation
is within MaxMind's reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that
are caused by you or your end users.
(e) Return and Deletion. Upon your written request, and except in situations where MaxMind acts
as a Data Controller, MaxMind will return or delete Personal Data that you (and no other
customer) made available to MaxMind. MaxMind may also refuse such requests where
returning or deleting such Personal Data would be prohibited by applicable law, or where
MaxMind must retain such Personal Data due to legal obligations, to protect its rights or those
of a third party, or as required by MaxMind for processing pursuant to a legitimate interest as
documented by MaxMind.
(f) International Transfer. You acknowledge and agree that the Personal Data will be stored and processed in the United States
and other countries in which MaxMind or its affiliates maintain facilities. By using the Services, you
consent to the transfer of such Personal Data outside of the country in which you provide the
information, and acknowledge that you provided any required notice to, and obtained any required
consent from, end users for such transfer.
MaxMind uses two mechanisms to facilitate the lawful transfer of Personal Data from the European
Economic Area ("EEA") and Switzerland to other parts of the world. MaxMind self-certifies to and
complies with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S.
Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from the EEA
and Switzerland to the United States, respectively. For purposes of facilitating transfers of personal
data from the EEA and Switzerland to locations other than the United States, MaxMind uses Controller
to Processor Standard Contractual Clauses. Where applicable, you agree to enter into Standard
Contractual Clauses with MaxMind, which are available to you on written request through MaxMind's
Data Transfer Addendum. Without limiting the foregoing, if you are a person or entity in the EEA or
Switzerland, or if you collect or transfer to us personal data pertaining to data subjects in such locations,
you hereby represent and warrant that any transmission of data from you to MaxMind prior to May 25,
2018, is fully compliant with the EU Directive 96/46/EC, as transposed in relevant national law; that
any such transmission on or after May 25, 2018, is fully compliant with the GDPR, as defined below;
and that all such transmissions at any time are compliant with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection
(the "FADP"). You represent and warrant that, as part of your compliance with these laws, you have
provided any legally required notices and obtained any legally required consents for your sharing,
transmission, and processing of Personal Data with, to, and by MaxMind, including explicit consent for
automated decision-making and other kinds of processing where required by law. Without limiting the
foregoing, you represent and warrant that you have notified all such data subjects of and obtained all
such data subjects' explicit consent to all of the intended uses of such Personal Data by you in
connection with your use of the MaxMind services, as set forth in MaxMind's then current Privacy Policy.
(g) GDPR. To the extent your use of the Services involves the processing by MaxMind of the Personal Data of
data subjects located in the European Union or otherwise subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the
General Data Protection Regulation, together with any additional implementation legislation, rules or
regulations that are issued by applicable supervisory authorities ("GDPR"), when MaxMind is
operating as a Data Processor (and not when MaxMind operates as a Data Controller), these "GDPR"
provisions apply effective May 25, 2018. Words and phrases shall, to the greatest extent possible, have
the meanings given to them in the GDPR.
i. The following specifications apply ("Specifications") to MaxMind's processing of Personal
Data in situations where MaxMind operates as a Data Processor with respect to the Personal
Data that you make available to it (to the extent it is not personal data it has also received from
other customers):
a. The subject matter of the processing is the performance of the Services to you
pursuant to this Agreement. When it is a Data Processor, MaxMind may process
the Personal Data for the following purposes: (1) processing in accordance with
this Agreement; (2) processing initiated by your end users in their use of the
Services; and (3) processing to comply with other documented reasonable
instructions provided by you (e.g., via email) where such instructions are
consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
b. The duration of the processing where MaxMind is the Data Processor is for the
duration of this Agreement except where otherwise required by applicable law, as
required by a legal obligation or for MaxMind to protect its rights or those of a
third party, or as required for MaxMind to continue processing Personal Data due
to a legitimate interest.
c. The categories of data subjects about whom MaxMind processes Personal Data
when it operates as a Data Processor are determined and controlled by you, in your
sole discretion, which may include, but are not limited to, your end users.
d. The types of Personal Data that MaxMind processes when it operates as a Data
Processor are determined and controlled by you, in your sole discretion, and may
include, but are not limited to, IP address, email address, username and password,
billing and shipping addresses and phone numbers, and transaction information.
ii. When it operates as a Data Processor, MaxMind shall process the Personal Data only on
documented instructions from you and in accordance with the Specifications above, unless
required to do otherwise by applicable law to which MaxMind is subject; in such a case,
MaxMind shall inform you of that legal requirement before processing Personal Data, unless
that law prohibits such disclosure on important grounds of public interest. This Agreement
constitutes your complete and final documented instructions, and any additional or alternate
instructions must be agreed upon separately.
iii. When MaxMind operates as a Data Processor, MaxMind shall, to the extent legally permitted,
promptly notify you if MaxMind receives a request from a data subject to exercise the data
subject's right of access, right to rectification, restriction of processing, erasure ("right to be
forgotten"), data portability, objection to processing, or right not to be subject to automated
individual decision making ("Data Subject Request"). Taking into account the nature of the
processing, MaxMind shall assist you, insofar as is possible, in the fulfilment of your obligation
to respond to a Data Subject Request. In addition, to the extent you, in your use of the Services,
do not have the ability to address a Data Subject Request, MaxMind shall upon your written
request provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist you in responding to such Data
Subject Request, to the extent MaxMind is legally permitted to do so and the response to such
Data Subject Request is required under applicable laws. To the extent legally permitted, you
shall be responsible for any costs arising from MaxMind's provision of such assistance. Please
note that MaxMind may not be able to fulfill a Data Subject Request where to do so would
violate laws applicable to MaxMind, would interfere with MaxMind's ability to meet legal
obligations or protect its rights or those of a third party, or would prevent MaxMind from
continuing to process Personal Data where it has a legitimate interest in doing so.
iv. Where MaxMind operates as a Data Processor, you hereby provide MaxMind with general
written authorization to engage subprocessors in connection with this Agreement. MaxMind
shall make available to you a current list of subprocessors for the Services upon your written
request. You may also make a written request that MaxMind notify you of any new
subprocessors. If you make such written request, MaxMind shall provide notification of new
subprocessors before authorizing any new subprocessors to process Personal Data in connection
with the provision of the Services to you. You may object to MaxMind's use of a new
subprocessor by notifying MaxMind promptly in writing within ten (10) business days after
receipt of MaxMind's notice. In the event you object to a new subprocessor, MaxMind will use
reasonable efforts to make available to you a change in the Services or recommend a
commercially reasonable change to your configuration or use of the Services to avoid
processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new subprocessors without unreasonably
burdening you. If MaxMind is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period
of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, you may terminate the applicable Services
which cannot be provided by MaxMind without the use of the objected-to new subprocessor by
providing written notice to MaxMind. MaxMind will refund you any prepaid fees covering the
remainder of the term following the effective date of termination with respect to such
terminated Services, without imposing a penalty for such termination on you. MaxMind shall be
liable for the acts and omissions of its subprocessors to the same extent MaxMind would be
liable if performing the services of each subprocessor directly under the terms of this Agreement.
v. Upon your written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to the
confidentiality provisions set forth in this Agreement, MaxMind shall make available to you a
copy of MaxMind's then most recent third party audit with respect to its privacy and data protection
practices, as applicable.
vi. When it operates as a Data Processor, upon your
written request, MaxMind shall provide you with reasonable cooperation and assistance as
needed and appropriate to fulfil your obligations under the GDPR to carry out a data protection
impact assessment related to your use of the Services, to the extent you do not otherwise have
access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to MaxMind.
MaxMind shall provide reasonable assistance to you in the cooperation or prior consultation
with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating the data protection
impact assessment, to the extent required under the GDPR.
INDEMNIFICATION.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold MaxMind harmless with respect to any
claims, damages, awards, or assessments resulting in whole or in part from your
breach of any representation or warranty made under this Agreement.
FEES.
MaxMind's current fee schedule for using the Services is posted on the Website
(url: https://www.maxmind.com). You are responsible for paying all fees
associated with your use of the Services. Unless MaxMind implements special
billing arrangements for your account, payment for all services is due in
advance.
BETA SERVICES.
MaxMind may offer certain Services as closed or open beta services (each a
"Beta Service" and collectively the "Beta Services") for the purpose of testing
and evaluation. Unless otherwise noted, the term "Services" as used in this
Agreement encompasses the "Beta Services". You agree that MaxMind has the sole
authority and discretion to determine the period of time for testing,
evaluation, and offering of Beta Services. MaxMind will be the sole judge of
the success of such testing and the decision, if any, to offer the Beta
Services on a standard commercial basis. You will be under no obligation to
acquire a subscription to use any other Service as a result of your use of any
Beta Service. MaxMind reserves the right within its sole discretion, with or
without notice to you, for any reason and at any time to modify a Beta Service
or to fully or partially discontinue a Beta Service on a temporary or permanent
basis.
MaxMind provides all Beta Services on an "AS IS", as-available basis and
without any warranty, indemnification, or obligation to provide technical
support. In no event shall MaxMind be liable for any damage whatsoever arising
out of the use of or inability to use a Beta Service, or the modification,
suspension, or discontinuance of any of the Beta Services for any reason, even
if MaxMind has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The entire
risk arising out of the use or performance of a Beta Service by you remains
with you.
In return for access to a Beta Service at a discount to the fee for a Service
with similar functionality, you agree to provide timely feedback to MaxMind of
all defects identified during your use of a Beta Service.
SPECIAL BILLING ARRANGEMENTS FOR WEB SERVICES.
In some circumstances in which customers have reached or agreed to a certain
consistent level of monthly service usage for Web Services, MaxMind may extend
special billing arrangements allowing the customer to pay for the Web Service
in arrears (i.e., retroactively) on a monthly or quarterly basis. You may
request special billing arrangements for a Web Service at any time. If MaxMind
chooses to extend a special billing arrangement to you, which decision shall be
made in MaxMind's sole discretion, MaxMind shall provide you with written
notice of the extension of special billing arrangements along with the billing
arrangement payment schedule. If any fee payment is not received by MaxMind
within five (5) business days of the due date, you shall be obligated to pay
late charges on the unpaid amount from the due date in an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) one percent (1%) per month, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law, calculated on a daily basis. If you fail to make fee
payments in accordance with the special billing arrangement (e.g., late
payments or missed payments), as reasonably determined by MaxMind, MaxMind has
the right to terminate your special billing arrangements and reinstate the
advance payment requirement for your account. MaxMind may take such action with
or without advance notice to you. Furthermore, if you fail to make fee payments
hereunder, you shall pay to MaxMind all of MaxMind's costs and expenses,
including legal costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by MaxMind in
collecting any fee payments due.
APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACES (APIs)
Upon your request, MaxMind may facilitate your access to certain application
program interfaces ("APIs") for use with the Services. Some APIs may have been
developed by third parties. MaxMind and you acknowledge that the APIs are not
Services as defined in this Agreement and that MaxMind does not provide any
warranties for the APIs. Any copying, implementation, or other use of any APIs
provided to you by MaxMind is subject to the license terms distributed with
such APIs or their associated software or documentation.
CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT/TERMINATION.
(a) MaxMind may amend this Agreement at any time. Any such amendment(s) shall
be binding and effective upon the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30)
days after posting of the amended Agreement on the Website or (ii) the date
that MaxMind provides notice to you of the amended Agreement, except that
changes to charges and payment terms may be made only upon 30 days' prior
written notice to you. You may immediately terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to MaxMind if a change is unacceptable to you. Your continued
use of the Services following notice to you of a change shall constitute your
acceptance of the change.
(b) If you find it convenient to employ your standard form(s) of purchase order
or similar form in administering the terms of this Agreement, you may do so,
but none of the terms and/or conditions printed or otherwise appearing or
referenced on such form will be applicable to or shall modify or change your
rights or obligations hereunder except for those terms and conditions
concerning specific details with respect to matters such as date, location, and
quantity provided that such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. MaxMind reserves the right
to reject any purchase order or similar form which, in MaxMind's reasonable
judgment, creates any ambiguity concerning which terms are applicable to this
Agreement.
(c) This Agreement shall terminate immediately if, within the reasonable
judgment of MaxMind, you materially breach any material term or condition of
this Agreement and fail to remedy the breach within ten (10) days of receipt of
written notice thereof stating MaxMind's intent to terminate upon non-cure of
the breach. Your failure to comply with the Restrictions on Use is a breach of
a material term of this Agreement.
NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES/LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.
Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall MaxMind or any related
party or supplier be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential,
or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, or data, that are
directly or indirectly related to the use of or the inability to access and use
the Services, whether in an action in contract, tort, product liability, strict
liability, statute, or otherwise even if MaxMind has been advised of the
possibility of those damages. The total liability of MaxMind, in connection
with a loss or damages arising hereunder (an "Occurrence") is limited to the
amount of fees actually paid by you, if any, under this Agreement during the
twelve months immediately preceding the Occurrence.
NO WARRANTIES/AVAILABILITY.
MaxMind furnishes the Services on an as-is, as-available basis. MaxMind makes
no warranty, express or implied, with respect to their capability, accuracy, or
completeness. All warranties of any type, express or implied, including the
warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and
non-infringement of third party rights are expressly disclaimed. Furthermore,
since availability of Services offered through the Website is dependent upon
many factors beyond MaxMind's control, MaxMind does not guarantee the
uninterrupted availability of any such Services. Any such Services may be
inoperative and/or unavailable due to technical difficulties or for maintenance
purposes, at any time and without notice. While MaxMind does not warrant that
the MaxMind Website is free of harmful components, MaxMind shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Website free of viruses and
malicious code.
GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, applicable to contracts made and to be performed
wholly in Massachusetts, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. You
specifically consent to personal jurisdiction in Massachusetts in connection
with any dispute between you and MaxMind arising out of this Agreement. You
agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute hereunder shall be in the state
and federal courts in Boston, Massachusetts. This Agreement shall be construed
and interpreted in English, and any translation hereof to a language other than
English shall be for convenience only.
NOTICES.

with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous
representations, understandings, or agreements, oral and written, between the
parties regarding the subject matter hereof.

this Agreement shall be effective as though such void, invalid, or inoperative
provision had not been contained herein.
