Under circumstances where notice is delayed, Digiarks will provide notice if and when the related imminent harm in the previous sentence no longer applies.

Digiarks may make available services or functionality to Customer to try at its option at no additional charge which is designated as beta, pilot, limited release, or evaluation (each, a “Beta Program”). Customer may be presented with additional terms and conditions when registering for a Beta Program, and any such additional terms and conditions are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are legally binding upon the Parties. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 9, BETA PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY.
Integration with Non-Digiarks Services. The Digiarks Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-Digiarks Services. To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to such Non-Digiarks Services from their providers and may be required to grant Digiarks access to Customer’s account for such Non-Digiarks Services. If Customer installs or enables Non-Digiarks Services for use with the Digiarks Services, Customer grants Digiarks permission to allow the provider of that Non-Digiarks Service to access Customer Data as required for interoperation of that Non-Digiarks Service and the Digiarks Service. Digiarks cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Digiarks Service features and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-Digiarks Service ceases to make the Non-Digiarks Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Digiarks Service features in a manner acceptable to Digiarks. Digiarks does not warrant or support any Non-Digiarks Services.

Further, Customer is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the Digiarks Services for Customer's business and complying with any regulations, laws or conventions applicable to the collection and use of Customer Data and Customer’s use of the Digiarks Services. Customer grants to Digiarks the non-exclusive right to process Customer Data (including Personal Data as defined below) for the sole purpose of and only to the extent necessary for Digiarks: (a) to provide the Digiarks Services; (b) to verify Customer’s compliance with the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2 if Digiarks has a reasonable belief of Customer’s non-compliance; and (c) as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Digiarks may utilize the data concerning and derived from Customer’s use of the Digiarks Services, including Customer Data but excluding Personal Data, for research and development, including to improve Digiarks Services, and to provide Customer with reports on its use of the Digiarks Services. For purposes of this Agreement, “Personal Data” shall mean any information relating to (i) an identified or identifiable natural person, and (ii) an identified or identifiable legal entity (where such information is protected similarly as personal data or personally identifiable information under applicable data protection laws and regulations). Customer agrees that Digiarks may collect, use, and disclose data concerning and derived from Customer’s use of the Digiarks Services, including Customer Data, for industry analysis, benchmarking, analytics, marketing, and other business purposes during and after the Term, provided that any such data collected, used, and disclosed for such purposes will be in aggregate form only and will not identify Customer, its Authorized Users, or any third parties utilizing the Digiarks Services as the source of the data (“Anonymized Data”) and Digiarks complies with all applicable laws in collecting, using and disclosing such Anonymized Data. Anonymized Data shall not be considered Confidential Information of Customer. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in an Order Form, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Digiarks has no obligation to maintain or store Transactional Data for more than two (2) years after the date of origination of such Transactional Data. For purposes of this provision, “Transactional Data” shall mean data relating to Customer’s consumer and/or client transactions and email interactions such as purchases, store visits, surveys filled, email clicks and opens, campaign metadata, bounces, web visits, add to cart clicks, and other similar event interaction and disposition data.

For the avoidance of doubt, Customer is the controller, and Digiarks is the processor, of Customer Data.
