5.2 To the extent the Customer submits, processes or stores any personal data in to the Services, the Service Provider (or its subcontractor where appropriate) processes such data on behalf and for the benefit of the Customer while the Customer remains at all times the data controller for such personal data. The Customer represents and warrants that it is authorized to instruct the Service Provider and its subcontractors to process such personal data.

The Service Provider shall also have the right to suspend the provision of the Services due to a data security risk to the Services or if law or administrative order requires the Service Provider to do so.

6.2 The Service Provider shall have the right suspend the provision of the Services and to deny the Customer’s access to the Services without first hearing the Customer, without any liability towards the Customer, if the Service Provider reasonably suspects that the Customer burdens or uses the Services contrary to this EULA, applicable laws or administrative orders or for a purpose prohibited by this EULA, applicable laws or administrative orders or in a manner that jeopardizes the provision of the Services to other users.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party shall keep in confidence all material and information received from the other Party and marked as confidential or which should be understood to be confidential (“Confidential Information”), and may not use such Confidential Information for any other purpose than those set forth in this EULA.

7.2 The obligations of confidentiality in Section 7.1 above shall not prevent a Party from disclosing Confidential Information where it is required to do so under any mandatory law, or by order of a court or governmental body of authority of competent jurisdiction, or by any mandatory requirement of a regulatory authority. If legally possible and applicable, the recipient of such order shall notify the disclosing Party to allow a reasonable opportunity to seek protective order or equivalent or to appeal, and to extent reasonably possible, make effort to protect any sensitive information.

7.3 Each Party shall promptly upon termination of this EULA, or when the Party no longer needs the Confidential Information in question for the purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this EULA, cease using the Confidential Information received from the other Party and, unless the Parties separately agree on destruction of such Confidential Information, return the Confidential Information in question (including all copies and reproductions thereof) to the other Party.

10.2 All disputes arising out of or relating to this EULA shall be primarily settled by amicable negotiations between the Parties. Should the Parties fail to reach an outcome acceptable to both Parties as a result of the negotiations within thirty (60) days from the date when a Party has requested in writing to commence with the aforementioned negotiations, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this EULA, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Finland Chamber of Commerce. The arbitration shall take place in Helsinki, Finland and the language to be used in the proceedings shall be English.

11. OTHER TERMS

11.1 The Service Provider shall be free to use subcontractors in the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this EULA. The Service Provider shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors under this EULA as for its own.

11.2 HappyorNot may use Customer name and logo as part of a list of customers and may refer to Customer as a user of its Services in its advertising and marketing activities and Customer further agrees to participate in other marketing activities which may include but not be limited to writing references and case studies, speaking at HappyOrNot or HappyOrNot sponsored events and participation in HappyOrNot or HappyOrNot sponsored webinars. Each Party shall obtain the other Party’s permission, not to be unreasonably withheld, prior to using the other Party’s name, logos, or other trademarks for any other marketing or promotional purposes. The Parties agree that any press release or other public comments issued by either Party relating to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any dispute under this Agreement), or your subscription to or use of the Services, will be prepared jointly between HappyOrNot and you and will be issued only upon mutual agreement of the Parties.

11.3 Neither Party shall be liable for any delays or non-performance of its obligations or any damages caused by an impediment beyond its reasonable control, which it could not have reasonably taken into account at the time of entering into this EULA, and whose consequences it could not reasonably have avoided or overcome. For instance, errors in public communication networks or electricity supply shall constitute such an impediment. Strike, lockout, boycott and other industrial action shall constitute a force majeure event also when the Party concerned is the target or Party to such action. A force majeure event suffered by a subcontractor of Party shall also discharge such Party from liability, if the work to be performed under subcontracting cannot be done or acquired from another source without incurring unreasonable costs or significant loss of time. Each Party shall without delay inform the other party in writing of a force majeure event and the termination of the force majeure event.

11.4 Neither Party shall have the right to assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations under this EULA without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Service Provider shall, however, have the right to assign this EULA in connection with a sale or transfer of its business or a relevant part thereof.
