5.02 Non-Disclosure Obligations.  All Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party shall be held in confidence by the Recipient, to the same extent, and in at least the same manner, as the Recipient protects its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event will Recipient use less than a reasonable standard of care.  Except as specifically permitted by these Terms of Use, the Recipient shall not disclose, publish, release, transfer, or otherwise make available, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, in any form to, or for the use or benefit of, any Person, without the Disclosing Party’s consent.  SEI’s Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, SEI Proprietary Information.  Developer agrees to take all actions necessary and appropriate (i) to preserve the confidentiality of and prevent the disclosure of the SEI Proprietary Information, (ii) not to show or otherwise make available any screen or screen layouts, software, Documentation or processes of the Services or any other SEI Proprietary Information to any Person other than Developer’s current employees who have a need to see such item in order to perform their duties and as necessary to provide SEI Customers access to their own data and (iii) not to discuss, reveal or disclose any aspect of the SEI Proprietary Information to any third party, except as required by law, governmental authority or court order in accordance with Section 5.03.

5.03 Permitted Use and Disclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient shall be permitted to use and to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its employees, agents, technology service providers, contractors, subcontractors, licensors and licensees of any agent or affiliate who have agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, to the extent that such use and disclosure is necessary or appropriate for the performance of the Recipient’s obligations, or exercise the Recipient’s rights, under the Agreement. The obligations in Section 5.02 shall not restrict any disclosure by any Recipient as required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, or by order of any court or governmental agency; provided that to the extent reasonably possible (and so long as not prohibited by law) such Recipient shall give prompt notice to the Disclosing Party of such law, rule, regulation or order, such that the Disclosing Party may (i) interpose an objection to such disclosure, (ii) take action to assure confidential handling of the Confidential Information, or (iii) take such other action as it deems appropriate to protect the Confidential Information.  Neither the acceptance of these Terms of Use nor the furnishing of any Confidential Information under the Agreement shall be construed as granting, either expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license under or title to any invention, copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary information now or hereafter owned or controlled by the Disclosing Party.

10.02 Assignment; Binding Effect.  SEI shall have the right to assign all or part of its rights under the Agreement to any Person, upon the provision of prior written notice to Developer.  Any assignment, transfer, or delegation by Developer (including, without limitation, any assignment, transfer, or delegation by operation of law in connection with a merger or otherwise) shall require the prior written approval of SEI.  Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each party’s successors and permitted assigns.  Any assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this provision shall be void and without legal effect.

10.04 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  By accepting these Terms of Use, each party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for the purpose of any action between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with the Agreement, and (ii) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that the Agreement or the subject matter thereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

10.05 Equitable Relief.  Developer agrees that its violation of the provisions of Section 5 (Confidentiality) may cause immediate and irreparable harm to SEI for which money damages may not constitute an adequate remedy at law.  Therefore, the parties agree that, in the event Developer breaches or threatens to breach said provision or covenant, SEI shall have the right to seek, in any court of competent jurisdiction, an injunction to restrain said breach or threatened breach, without posting any bond or other security.

10.06 Dispute Resolution.  Whenever either party desires to institute legal proceedings against the other concerning the Agreement, it shall provide written notice to that effect to such other party.  The party providing such notice shall refrain from instituting said legal proceedings for a period of thirty days following the date of provision of such notice.  During such period, the parties shall attempt in good faith to amicably resolve their dispute by negotiation among their executive officers.  This Section 10.06 shall not prohibit SEI from seeking, at any time, equitable relief as permitted under Section 10.05.

10.07 Notice.  All notices provided for or permitted under the Agreement (except for correspondence between the parties related to operations in the ordinary course) shall be deemed effective upon receipt, and shall be in writing and (a) delivered personally, (b) sent by commercial overnight courier with written verification of receipt, or (c) sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the party to be notified.  Notices to SEI shall be sent to the attention of: General Counsel, SEI Global Services, Inc., One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, Pennsylvania 19456, with a copy, given in the manner prescribed above, to Developer’s current relationship manager.  Developer consents to receive communications from SEI electronically.  Notices to Developer shall be sent to the electronic mail address provided during registration or posted on the SEI Developer Portal.  Developer agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that SEI provides to Developer electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

10.08 Entire Agreement.  The Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof.  The Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, discussions, negotiations, letters, proposals, agreements and understandings between the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, whether written or oral.  Where the terms of the Order Form conflict with these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use shall control.

10.09 Severability.  Any provision of the Agreement that is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision of the Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace the provision with a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the original intention of the parties, and the Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

10.10 Waiver.  Any term or provision of the Agreement may be waived at any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof by written instrument executed by such party.  No failure of either party to the Agreement to exercise any power or right granted under the Agreement, or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation under the Agreement, and no custom or practice of the parties with regard to the terms of performance of the Agreement, will constitute a waiver of the rights of such party to demand full and exact compliance with the terms of the Agreement.

10.11 Headings.  All Section headings contained in the Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form a part of the Agreement and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Agreement. 

10.12 Counterparts.  The Order Forms may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of the Order Form to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.  The Order Form shall be deemed executed by both parties when any one or more counterparts thereof, individually or taken together, bears the original or facsimile signatures of each of the parties.

10.13 Publicity.  SEI shall have the right to (i) place Developer’s name and/or company logo(s) (including any registered trademark or service mark) on SEI’s developer list(s) (and share such list(s) with current or potential developers and clients of SEI) and/or marketing material which will include such entities’ name, logo and those products and services used by Developer; (ii) use Developer as a reference; or (iii) otherwise orally disclose that Developer is a user of API Products of SEI at presentations, conferences or other similar meetings.  If SEI desires to engage in any type of publicity other than as set forth in subsections (i) through (iii) above or if Developer desires to engage in any type of publicity, the party desiring to engage in such publicity shall obtain the prior written consent of the other party to the Agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

10.14 Privacy.  SEI’s Privacy Policy is incorporated and made part of these Terms of Use.  Developer hereby agrees to such Privacy Policy.  Any personal data (for example, Developer’s name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) that Developer transmits to the SEI Developer Portal by electronic mail or otherwise will be used by SEI in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Any other communication or material Developer transmits to the SEI Developer Portal, such as questions, comments, suggestions or the like, will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

10.15 Typographical Errors.  In the event that a Service is mistakenly listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect specifications, SEI reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for such Service listed incorrectly, whether or not the Order Form has been executed and whether or not Developer has been charged for such Service. If Developer has already been charged for the purchase and the Order Form is cancelled, SEI shall issue Developer a credit in the amount of the incorrect price.
