sales and use taxes for the Gift Cards and/or applicable Services. In certain states and/or local jurisdictions, where Blackhawk does not do business and is not registered, Client will be solely responsible for any remittance of sales/use tax to
such state and/or jurisdiction. No invoice or purchase order shall have the effect of modifying or amending this Agreement. Blackhawk reserves the right (without prejudice to its other rights or remedies) to suspend its performance under this
Agreement if Client fails to make any payment when due.

Effective Date and shall continue for such period of time as stated on the cover page of this Agreement, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement (“Term”). Either party may terminate any applicable Schedule to
this Agreement and/or this Agreement by giving to the other party written notice of such termination upon (a) the other party’s breach of any material term (subject to the other party’s right to cure within thirty (30) days (or
ten (10) days in the case of a payment breach) after receipt of such notice); (b) the other party’s insolvency, or the institution of any insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy or similar proceedings by or
against the other party; or (c) a change in Applicable Law that materially and adversely affects a party’s ability or right to perform its obligations hereunder. 
 4. Effect of Termination. These General Terms shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement. 
 5. Representations and Warranties. Client represents and warrants throughout the Term that (a) Client has the right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to grant the rights
granted herein, and to perform its obligations hereunder; (b) Client’s grant of rights or performance of its obligations hereunder does not violate any other material agreement to which Client is a party; and (c) Client shall comply
with Applicable Law. Blackhawk represents and warrants throughout the Term that (a) it has the right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to grant the rights granted herein, and to perform its obligations hereunder;

	02-02-12	 	

  
 2 








 
other material agreement to which Blackhawk is a party; and (c) it will comply with Applicable Law (provided that Blackhawk shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether
Client’s Gift Card Terms and Conditions comply with Applicable Law). 
 6. Indemnification. 

A. Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Blackhawk, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents,
representatives, contractors and employees from and against any and all third party Claims and Damages arising out of or related to (i) Client’s breach (or, as to defense obligations only, alleged breach) of this Agreement;
(ii) Client’s, or its officer’s, director’s, employee’s, or contractor’s (other than Blackhawk) violation of any Applicable Law; (iii) Client’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraudulent actions;
(iv) Client’s infringement of the rights (including, without limitation, the intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, rights to privacy and rights to publicity) of any person or entity; and (v) any claims by holders of Gift
Cards or claims regarding the Gift Card terms and conditions. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “third party” shall mean a person or entity that does not control, is not controlled by, nor is under common control with the applicable
party, and shall not include directors, officers, partners, agents, or employees of such party with respect to transactions arising in their capacity as such. 
 B. Blackhawk agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Client, and its officers, directors, agents, representatives, contractors and employees from and against any and all third party Claims and
Damages arising out of or related to (i) Blackhawk’s breach (or, as to defense obligations only, alleged breach) of this Agreement; (ii) Blackhawk’s, or its officer’s, director’s, employee’s, or contractor’s,
violation of any Applicable Law; (iii) Blackhawk’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraudulent actions; and (iv) Blackhawk’s, or its officer’s, director’s, employee’s, contractor’s, or agent’s
infringement of the rights (including, without limitation, the intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, rights to privacy and rights to publicity) of any person or entity. 

C. The party seeking indemnification, as the indemnitee, shall provide the other party, as the indemnitor, prompt written notice of any
Claim for which indemnity is sought. If the indemnitor is notified in writing by the indemnitee of such a Claim for which indemnity is available under this Agreement, the indemnitor shall promptly hire experienced and competent counsel, and will
have control of the defense and negotiations for the compromise or settlement of such a Claim, and shall pay any Damages in respect of such Claim and reimburse the indemnitee for its reasonable expenses incurred in cooperation with and providing
assistance to the indemnitor; provided, however, that the indemnitor may not settle any such Claim without the indemnitee’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the proposed settlement would be in the
indemnitee’s name or impose pecuniary or other liability or an admission of fault or guilt on the indemnitee or would require the indemnitee to be bound by an injunction of any kind. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such a
Claim is based on an assertion that the indemnitor’s trademarks, Gift Cards, or other intellectual property infringe on any registered patent, copyright or trademark of any non-party, or the rights to privacy or rights to publicity of any
non-party, the indemnitor shall have the right, at its sole option and expense to procure for the indemnitee the right to continue using such property or materials, to replace or modify them with non-infringing materials or property, or to withdraw
them from use altogether. 
 7. Confidential Information. 
 A. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information or material which is either (A) marked “Confidential,” “Restricted,” or
“Proprietary Information” or other similar marking by the party disclosing or providing access to such information (the “Discloser”), (B) known by the Parties to be considered confidential and proprietary, or (C) from
all the relevant circumstances should reasonably be assumed to be confidential and proprietary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public by any
means other than a breach of the obligations of the receiving party hereunder (the 

  

			
	02-02-12

“Recipient”); (ii) was previously known to the Recipient or rightly received by the Recipient from a third party not subject to an obligation of confidentiality (provided that no
damages shall accrue hereunder with respect to Confidential Information received from a third party unless it can be shown that the Recipient knew or should have known that such information was provided by such third party unlawfully); or
(iii) is independently developed by the Recipient without reference to information provided by or derived from the Discloser. 
 B. Each Party agrees to hold the Discloser’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, both during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter. The Parties agree not to make each other’s
Confidential Information available in any form to any third party or to use each other’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than the implementation of, and as specified in, this Agreement. Each party agrees to take reasonable steps
to ensure that the Discloser’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees, agents, representatives or contractors in violation of the provisions of this Agreement. 

C. In the event any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Recipient under the terms of a valid and effective
subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, or by a demand or information request from an executive or administrative agency or other governmental authority, the Recipient shall, unless prohibited by the terms of a subpoena,
order, or demand, promptly notify the disclosing party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such demand or request, shall consult with the disclosing party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow
such demand or request, and, if disclosure of such Confidential Information is ultimately required, shall request the highest level of confidentiality available for such information under the terms of the production order and any protective order
that may apply. Disclosure pursuant to this paragraph shall not, by itself, vitiate the status of information as Confidential Information. 
 D. Client’s Confidential Information shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Client. Blackhawk’s Confidential Information shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Blackhawk.

 8. Limitations of Liability. THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIM THAT (A) IS SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION,
(B) ARISES OUT OF A BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY, OR (C) ARISES OUT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD: IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
AFFILIATES OF ANY OF THEM WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, FOR (1) ANY INDIRECT (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE, AND WHETHER OR NOT
A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR DIRECT CONTRACTUAL DAMAGES, FOR BODILY INJURY, FOR DAMAGE
TO TANGIBLE PROPERTY, OR FOR EXPENSES REASONABLY INCURRED IN MITIGATING SUCH DAMAGES; OR (2) ANY DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ALL SCHEDULES), TO THE EXTENT THAT THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES
EXCEEDS THE GREATER OF $100,000 OR THE FEES PAID BY CLIENT TO BLACKHAWK FOR THE SERVICES PERFORMED BY BLACKHAWK UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 
 9.
Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

 10. Risk of Loss. Any losses arising from inaccurate Gift Card data or activation data transmission
from Blackhawk to the extent resulting from any third party fraudulently accessing Blackhawk’s computer network, database or system shall be the sole responsibility of Blackhawk, except to the extent related to Client’s fraud, misconduct
or negligence. 
 11. Assignment/Subcontractors. Neither party may transfer or assign (by merger or operation of law or otherwise) this
Agreement or its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void. Blackhawk may act under this Agreement
through an affiliate or a subcontractor. Blackhawk shall be responsible for the acts of its affiliates (other than Client) or subcontractors that cause a breach of this Agreement. 
 12. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any delay or failure in performance under this Agreement (other than the payment of money) arising out of a cause beyond its
control and without its fault or negligence which cannot be overcome through the exercise of reasonable diligence. Such causes may include, but are not limited to, fires, floods, failures or delays in the internet, earthquakes, strikes,
unavailability of necessary utilities, blackouts, acts of God, acts of regulatory agencies, or national disasters. 
 13. No Third Party
Beneficiaries/ Independent Contractor. No third party is a beneficiary to this Agreement. Neither party shall have the authority, without the other party’s prior written approval, to bind or commit the other party in any way. 

14. Severability; Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be binding upon the Parties and shall be enforceable, as though said invalid or unenforceable provision (or portion thereof) were not contained in this Agreement. The failure by
either party to insist upon, or to enforce, strict performance of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in no way constitute a waiver of its rights as set forth in this Agreement, at law or in equity, or a waiver of any other
provisions or subsequent default by the other party in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and no waiver of any right accruing hereunder shall be effective unless set forth in a writing
signed by the Party bound by such waiver. 
 15. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be given personally, by
facsimile, certified mail or by overnight courier to the address set forth below each party’s signature block on the cover page of this Agreement. Any party may from time to time change its address for receiving notices or other communications
by providing notice to the other in the manner provided in this Section. 
 16. Governing Law. Any claim, controversy, or dispute arising
under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. Any controversy or claim arising out of or in any way
connected with this Agreement or the alleged breach thereof shall be resolved by one arbitrator, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect
in San Francisco, California and shall be held in the San Francisco Bay Area. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Costs of AAA will be shared equally by both parties.

mutually approved by the parties, in consideration of the fees, and on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Client also agrees to purchase from Blackhawk, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any

Client’s Marks, copyrights or other intellectual property. 

  

	11.	In addition to the representations and warranties set forth in the General Terms, Client represents and warrants throughout the Term of the Agreement that

the Processing Services. 
 Each party acknowledges that certain modifications may be required to the other party’s systems to comply with
Applicable Law or to maintain the security and privacy of the Blackhawk System or other internal systems and/or customer facing systems, and that the affected party shall give as much notice as is reasonably practicable of its proposed modifications
and the need for same. 
 Each Party shall designate a person to coordinate the necessary data transmissions for which the Party is responsible
hereunder and to work cooperatively with the other Party on resolving technology issues that arise in performance under this Agreement.
