Merchant shall use Customer Data only to fulfill its redemption obligations in connection with the Merchant Offering as authorized by this Agreement. Merchant expressly agrees that any Customer Data shall be used only for this purpose (including, but not limited to, the redemption of Vouchers and provision of goods and services to purchasers), and not to enhance a file or list owned by Merchant, or any third party. Merchant represents, warrants and covenants that it will not resell, broker or otherwise disclose any Customer Data to any third party, in whole or in part, for any purpose, unless required by applicable law. If Merchant engages any third party to facilitate its redemption obligations hereunder, Merchant shall ensure that such third party implements and complies with reasonable security measures in handling any Customer Data. If any Customer Data is collected directly by Merchant or a third party engaged by Merchant to facilitate its redemption obligations hereunder, Merchant shall ensure that it or such third party adopts, posts and processes the Customer Data in conformity with its posted privacy policy and all applicable laws. As long as Merchant uses Customer Data in compliance with applicable law and Merchant's posted privacy policy, restrictions stated in this Agreement on Merchant's use of Customer Data do not apply to: (i) data from any customer who is already a customer of Merchant before the Effective Date, if such data was provided to Merchant by such customer independent of this Agreement or any transaction hereunder; or (ii) data supplied by a customer directly to Merchant who becomes a customer of Merchant in connection with such customer explicitly opting in to receive communications from Merchant. Merchant shall immediately notify Community Marketplace if Merchant becomes aware of or suspects any unauthorized access to or use of Customer Data or any confidential information of Community Marketplace, and shall cooperate with Community Marketplace in the investigation of such breach and the mitigation of any damages. Merchant will bear all associated expenses incurred by Community Marketplace to comply with applicable laws (including, but not limited to, any data breach laws) or arising from any unauthorized access or acquisition of Customer Data while such data is in Merchant's reasonable possession or control. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Merchant shall, as directed by Community Marketplace, destroy or return to Community Marketplace all the Customer Data in Merchant's or any agent of Merchant's possession. Mobile Redemption Devices If Community Marketplace leases or lends Merchant a tablet or mobile redemption device ("Device"), Merchant agrees to be bound by the terms of use, end user license agreements, or other provisions governing its use, unless otherwise authorized by Community Marketplace in writing. Unless otherwise stated in writing, Merchant shall only use the Device for transmitting redemption data to Community Marketplace and processing customer payments and shall return a loaned Device fourteen (14) days after the Promotional Value Expiration Date, unless a new feature is planned or if requested by Community Marketplace for any reason. Community Marketplace reserves the right to bill Merchant for the cost of the Device, or offset any current or future payments due to Merchant under any contract between the parties if the device is not returned, or for costs related to damage or other misuse. Price Optimization Program To help optimize the number of Vouchers sold, Community Marketplace is authorized to increase or decrease the Amount Paid specified in this Agreement ("Adjusted Amount Paid"). In the event of an increase, the Net Remittance Amount will be adjusted to proportionally reflect any such increase in the Amount Paid ("Adjusted Net Remittance Amount"). If Community Marketplace elects to promote the Merchant Offering at an Adjusted Amount Paid, Community Marketplace will remit to the Merchant for each Voucher sold, the greater of: (i) the Net Remittance Amount as specified in this Agreement (or in the case Merchant is being paid on redemption, for Vouchers redeemed); or (ii) the Adjusted Net Remittance Amount. In no case will Community Marketplace sell more than the Maximum Number of Vouchers or Monthly Maximum Number of Vouchers, as applicable. Community Marketplace will provide Merchant the information with regard to the number of Vouchers sold for each Amount Paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merchant will never receive less than the Net Remittance Amount for any Voucher sold.

Merchant is authorized to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Community Marketplace, twenty (20) business days in advance of the intended date of termination.
