Developer shall not use the Services for any illegal or malicious purpose, including to create, send or store infringing or unlawful material, and will not use the Services to create, transfer or launch viruses or other computer programming that damages, interferes with, intercepts or expropriates any system or data connected to or using an Application. Further, Developer shall not create, use or transfer material containing disabling code such as viruses, time bombs, worms, Trojan horses, or any other malware, or harmful computer code, scripts, files or programs.

In its sole discretion, SEI may provide notifications regarding changes in the Services to Developers via electronic mail using the information provided by Developer during registration or otherwise on file. SEI shall have the right to revoke access to any Developer or user whose use exceeds reasonable volume limitations, constitutes excessive or abusive usage or otherwise fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
3.06 Links to Third Party Applications. Any links to Third Party Applications are provided solely for Developer’s convenience and such applications are not owned or operated by SEI. SEI has no control over any linked Third Party Application, is not responsible for the content or operation of such applications and makes no representations or warranties with respect to the same. Accessing a Third Party Application may require acceptance of additional terms and authorization of additional conditions, including separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of SEI. Users of Third Party Applications shall be solely responsible for their compliance with any such additional terms or conditions imposed by the providers of such Third Party Applications. A Developer’s use of a Third Party Application is at Developer’s sole and exclusive risk and discretion. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ALL THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS ARE PROVIDED AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE. Without limiting the foregoing, SEI specifically disclaims any responsibility if such Third Party Applications: infringe any third party's intellectual property rights; are inaccurate, incomplete or misleading; are not merchantable or fit for a particular purpose; do not provide adequate security; contain viruses or other items of a destructive nature; or are libelous or defamatory. SEI does not endorse the content, or any products or services available, on such Third Party Applications. Nonetheless, SEI seeks to protect the integrity of the Services and therefore requests any feedback on not only the Services, but for Third Party Applications as well (including if a specific Third Party Application does not work).
3.07 Data. SEI does not and cannot review all Data, and is not responsible for Data. Developer acknowledges that by providing Developer Data, SEI is not undertaking any obligation or liability related to the Developer Data.

5.01 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all proprietary or confidential information including, without limitation, login information, technical data; trade secrets; know-how; business processes; product plans; product designs; service plans; services; customer lists and customers; markets; software; developments; inventions; processes; formulas; technology; designs; drawings; and marketing, distribution or sales methods and systems; sales and profit figures or other financial information that is disclosed, directly or indirectly, to the Developer (in such capacity the “Recipient”) by or on behalf of SEI (in such capacity the “Disclosing Party”), whether in writing, orally or by other means and whether or not such information is marked as confidential. However, “Confidential Information” does not include any of the information that: (i) prior to disclosure under the Agreement by the Disclosing Party, was known to the public; (ii) after disclosure under the Agreement by the Disclosing Party, becomes known to the public through no act or omission of the Recipient or any of its representatives; (iii) the Recipient can demonstrate by written records was previously known by it or was independently developed by or for it without use of the Confidential Information; or (iv) is, or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from another Person that, to the Recipient’s knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the Recipient by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the Disclosing Party. For purposes of the foregoing, “knowledge” means actual knowledge of a party which can be demonstrated by written records.
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.
5.04 Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. In the event the Recipient becomes aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure by the Recipient of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Recipient shall promptly (i) notify the Disclosing Party of the unauthorized use or disclosure; (ii) take all reasonable actions to limit the adverse effect on the Disclosing Party of such unauthorized use or disclosure; and (iii) take all reasonable action to protect against a recurrence of the unauthorized use or disclosure.
5.05 Return of Confidential Information. Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party after the termination of the Agreement, the Recipient shall, at the option of the Disclosing Party, return or destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that is then in the possession or control of the Recipient, provided, however, the Recipient may retain such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as may be necessary or appropriate for the Recipient to comply with reasonable legal, accounting, regulatory and archival concerns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SEI shall have no obligation to return or destroy Confidential Information of Developer that resides on any save tapes. Upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Recipient shall promptly certify in writing its compliance with this Section 5.05.
5.06 Aggregated Data. Nothing in the Agreement shall limit SEI’s ability to collect and use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data in connection with the performance and use of the Services (“Aggregated Data”). SEI owns the Aggregated Data. For the avoidance of doubt, the Aggregated Data is not Confidential Information.
SECTION 6 TERM; TERMINATION
6.01 Term. The Agreement shall be effective upon the acceptance of these Terms of Use by a Developer and shall remain in effect until terminated as set forth in these Terms of Use (the “Term”). Either party may terminate the Agreement, with or without cause, upon written notice to the other party at any time; provided, however, that such termination shall not affect any Order Form that the parties may have previously executed, or the Agreement as it applies to such Order Forms unless such Order Form is specifically terminated as provided in these Terms of Use.
6.02 Order Form Term. Each Order Form entered into pursuant to these Terms of Use shall set forth the initial term applicable to such Order Form (each, an “Initial Term”) together with any extension term applicable to such Order Form (each, an “Extension Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Order Form Term”).

Following termination as provided for above, Developer shall cease to have access to all of the Services that are terminated and all associated rights with respect to such Services will terminate. The following Sections shall survive termination: 1, 3.07, 4, 5, 6.03, 7, 8, 9, 10.
SECTION 7 NO WARRANTY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SEI PROVIDES THE SERVICES AND CONTENT "AS IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR CONTENT. SEI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, STATUTORY AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION (A) WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, ACCURACY, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NO ENCUMBRANCES, NO LIENS AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, (B) WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ARISING THROUGH COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND (C) WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE ACCESS OR USE.
SEI does not represent or warrant that defects will be corrected, or that the Services, SEI Developer Portal or the server that makes the Services or SEI Developer Portal available are free of viruses or other harmful components.

THE EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH IS INDEPENDENT OF THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED BELOW AND SURVIVES IN THE EVENT SUCH REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR IS OTHERWISE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE. THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARISE FROM (A) BREACH OF CONTRACT, (B) BREACH OF WARRANTY, (C) NEGLIGENCE, OR (D) ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION, TO THE EXTENT SUCH EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS ARE NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. IN THE EVENT THAT DEVELOPER DOES NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THE AGREEMENT OR HAS ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM AGAINST SEI WITH RESPECT TO THE AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, CONTENT, OR THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS, DEVELOPER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICES.
SECTION 9 INDEMNIFICATION
Developer will indemnify, defend and hold SEI and each of its affiliates and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, agents or assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys' fees, of every kind and nature arising out of or related to access to or use of the Services or violation of these Terms of Use by Developer or any other Person accessing or using the Services using Developer’s account.
SECTION 10 MISCELLANEOUS
10.01 Independent Contractor. Developer and SEI shall each act as independent contractors and neither party nor its employees shall be deemed an agent, affiliate, legal representative, joint venturer or partner of the other party to the Agreement. No party is authorized to bind any other party to any obligation, affirmation or commitment with respect to any other party. While Developer may publicly refer to the fact that it has implemented the SEI API, in no event shall Developer assert or imply any other relationship with SEI without SEI’s prior written approval.
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.
