Usage of Services. Customer represents that language services will be used for its own internal purposes. Prohibited uses include: transmission of messages or other material which constitute an infringement of copyrights or trademarks, unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets, any criminal prohibitions regarding the use of telephones to transmit obscene threatening or harassing messages, a libelous or slanderous statement; or a violation of any applicable statute or state law or regulation. Customer agrees to defend and indemnify GLOBO and its affiliates and to hold them harmless from any claim or action whatsoever arising from the use of any language services and support in any form and manner prohibited by this section.
Services Rendered. For purposes of acquiring intake information, as might be requested by the customer, GLOBO will use commercially reasonable efforts, and generally recognized industry standards for similar practices, to obtain the information that has been requested by Customer. GLOBO is not responsible for ensuring that the information provided to it in this process is accurate and complete, nor does GLOBO make any representations as to accuracy or completeness of the information. Missing, incomplete or incorrect intake or end user data is not a reason to deny payment for services provided by GLOBO. Moreover, the Customer, and not GLOBO, is responsible for any unauthorized usage, or unauthorized attempts to use the services provided pursuant to this contract, including all charges resulting from such unauthorized use.
Confidentiality. GLOBO shall take appropriate action to ensure confidentiality of Customer’s confidential information and to treat it with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of like kind and value, but in no case less than a commercially reasonable degree of care.
GLOBO agrees to maintain the Confidential Information of the Customer in strict confidence and to use it only for the purpose and to the extent necessary for the performance of any of its obligations under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GLOBO may do any or all of the following:
(i) make available Confidential Information to those Representatives of GLOBO who need to know such information for purposes of the implementation of this Agreement;
(ii) make available Confidential Information to a third party for the purpose and to the extent necessary for the performance of its obligations under the Agreement, to the extent necessary to permit a third party to perform legal, accounting, or audit services for
GLOBO, and to the extent necessary to permit a third party to assist GLOBO in assessing its business operations, provided that each such third party is subject to confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those applicable to GLOBO hereunder;
(iii) make disclosures as required (i) where requested under proper authority or required by any court of competent jurisdiction or any competent judicial, governmental,
supervisory or regulatory body, or (ii) where required by legal processes or applicable laws or regulation, provided that reasonable measures are taken to limit such disclosures and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order and the GLOBO notifies Customer reasonably in advance and allows the Customer to participate in such efforts; and/or
(iv) disclose Confidential Information with the express prior written consent of Customer.
Customer shall take appropriate action to ensure confidentiality of GLOBO’s confidential information and/or proprietary software, including GLOBOr’s proprietary platform, GLOBO HQ, to which the Customer may have access and to treat it with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of like kind and value, but in no case less than a commercially reasonable degree of care. Customer agrees to maintain the Confidential Information of the GLOBO in strict confidence and use it only for the purpose and to the extent necessary under the terms of this Agreement.
De-Identified Data.. Customer agrees that GLOBO may retain and use Customer data and data from any other sources, including data derived from Personal Information, Protected Health Information and Confidential Information for the purposes of quality control and review, service improvement, research, development of new or related products and services, analytics, publications, and presentations, provided that any Customer data is de-identified prior to use for any purpose other than provision of Services to Customer. Protected Health Information will be de-identified consistent with 45 C.F.R. §164.514(b). Any other customer data will be de-identified in a manner that will prevent re-identification of data.
Call Recording. GLOBO records the interpretation sessions for the purposes of quality control and review, service improvement, research, development of new or related products and services and analytics.
Exclusive Remedy and Limitation Liability. For the purposes of the exclusive remedy and limitations of liability set forth in this section, GLOBO shall be deemed to include GLOBO, its affiliates and respective successors, and the directors, officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, representatives, suppliers and interpreters and translators (who may be employees or independent contractors) of GLOBO and damages refer collectively to all injury, damage, loss or expense incurred. The charges for services provided by GLOBO are established and relied on the exclusive remedy and limitations of liability set forth in this section. Customer acknowledges that it elects to accept charges calculated on this basis, and agrees that this allocation of risk of liability is fair, reasonable and not unconscionable. Customer understands and acknowledges that the charges for interpreter and translation services are unrelated to the value of the Customer business or the potential for indirect, incidental, consequential and special damages or any other damage in excess of those allowed by this section. Customer retains the right to purchase insurance to cover any additional cost or liability. In accordance with the understandings set forth above, the parties agree as follows: (i) GLOBO’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy for damages caused by defect or failure of interpreter and translation services, or arising from the performance or nonperformance of any services under this agreement, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, including negligence, strict liability or otherwise, shall be limited to a credit or refund of the charges for the service which gave rise to the claim; and (ii) GLOBO shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, savings or revenues of any kind, whether or not GLOBO had knowledge, actual or constructive, that such damages might be incurred.
