Terms of Service

Version Date: April 1, 2018 

Summary of Changes to PowerMTAkudos’s Terms of Service

We have updated our Terms of Service. These new Terms will be effective immediately for first time customers on or after April 1, 2018.   Existing customers as of April 1, 2018 will be subject to the updated Terms effective 30 days thereafter (May 1, 2018). You will be deemed to have agreed to these amended Terms through your continued use of PowerMTAkudos’s services.

In summary, we have updated our terms to reflect the requirements of the European data protection law known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which becomes enforceable on May 1, 2018.

Unfortunately, because we have such a large number and variety of customers, we are unable to make changes to our Terms of Service.

*****

  11. Add-ons.  PowerMTAKudos may make available through the Services additional optional, non-essential features, functionality and services (“Add-ons“) offered by third-party partners (each, an “Add-on Partner”). Your use of Add-ons is subject to this Agreement and any other agreement separate from this Agreement that You may enter into (or may have entered into) relating to the Add-on directly with the applicable Add-on Partner (each, an “Add-on Service Agreement”).

    (b) EU Data Privacy.  PowerMTAKudos self-certifies to and complies with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks, as administered by the US Department of Commerce. As such, PowerMTAKudos shall be deemed to provide adequate privacy protection for the transfer of personal data originating from the EU and/or Switzerland (within the meaning of EU data protection laws) by virtue of such self-certification. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “personal data”, “processing” and “data subject” have the same meanings as those given to them in EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR“). 
  21. Confidentiality. 
    (a) Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all nonpublic information disclosed or made available under this Agreement by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) that relates to the Technology, the provision or receipt of the Services, or the Disclosing Party’s technology, finances, operations, customers or business; provided, however, “Confidential Information” does not include (i) any information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a direct or indirect result of the disclosure of any of such information by the Receiving Party or by any of the Receiving Party’s Representatives (as defined below); (ii) any information that was in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to the time it was first made available to the Receiving Party or any of the Receiving Party’s Representatives by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party or any of the Disclosing Party’s Representatives, provided that the source of such information was not and is not known to the Receiving Party to be bound by any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the Receiving Party or to any other person with respect to any such information; (iii) any information that becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party or any of the Disclosing Party’s Representatives, provided that such source is not known to the Receiving Party to be bound by any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party or to any other person with respect to any of such information; or (iv) any information that is independently developed by the Receiving Party or any of the Receiving Party’s Representatives without the use of or reference to any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. For purposes of this Section, a party’s “Representatives” will be deemed to include each person or entity, as applicable, that is or becomes (A) a subsidiary or other affiliate of such party, (B) an officer, director, employee, partner, attorney, advisor, accountant, agent or representative of such Party or of any of such Party’s subsidiaries or other affiliates, and (C) in Your case, solely for the purpose of receiving PowerMTAKudos’s SOC2 or similar report (which shall constitute PowerMTAKudos’s Confidential Information), an OEM User. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the Services, Technology, and PowerMTAKudos Content are the Confidential Information of PowerMTAKudos, (2) all data regarding Your email recipients and OEM Users (as applicable), including without limitation, identities and email addresses are Your Confidential Information, and (3) Service Data will not be Your Confidential Information. 


    (b) Confidentiality Obligations.  The Receiving Party agrees to protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the degree of care the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential information of like nature, but in no case less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party agrees that, except as expressly directed by the Disclosing Party, it will not at any time during or after the Term: (i) disclose any Confidential Information to any third party (other than the Receiving Party’s Representatives); (ii) permit any third party (other than the Receiving Party’s Representatives) to examine and/or make copies of any reports, documents or electronic data containing Confidential Information; or (iii) use any of the Confidential Information for any reason other than for the purposes of this Agreement. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives having a need to receive the Confidential Information in the performance of their duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that such Representatives are informed of the confidentiality obligations hereunder and the Receiving Party is responsible for such Representatives’ compliance therewith. If the Receiving Party is required to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to any Law, order, subpoena or document discovery request, it will furnish written notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party so long as such notice is not prohibited by Law. When permitted, the Receiving Party will provide notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure as soon as practicable so that the Disclosing Party has an opportunity to seek a protective order or take other efforts to modify or restrict the disclosure through legal means. The Receiving Party will reasonably cooperate in such efforts at the Disclosing Party’s reasonable expense. Each party has the discretion to accept service of any subpoena or other document request without a requirement for such party seeking such disclosure to comply with applicable rules of service. Each party acknowledges that its breach of this Section may cause irreparable damage to the other party and hereby agrees that the other party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief under this Section, as well as such further relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of any conflict between the Privacy Policies and the provisions of this Section, the provisions of this Section shall control.
