EXHIBIT B
Plaid-Provided Data
The terms of this Schedule 1 to the Master Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) apply where and only to the extent that the provision of the Services requires App Partner to process of Plaid-Provided Data (defined below) that is provided or made available to App Partner by Crosshatch. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. None of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall be waived or modified by this Schedule 1 but if there is any conflict between any of the provisions of this Schedule 1 and the provisions of the Agreement in relation to the processing of Plaid-Provided Data, the parties agree the provisions of this Schedule 1 shall prevail to the extent of any such conflict and solely with respect to Plaid-Provided Data.
Through the Services, App Partner may have access to information about or of End Users provided to Crosshatch through Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”) by a bank, financial institution, or other data source (each, as designated by Plaid, “FI”, and such information, the “Plaid-Provided Data”).
- Restrictions. Unless Plaid specifically agrees in writing, App Partner will not, and will not enable or assist any third-party to: (i) attempt to reverse engineer (except as permitted by law), decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code, or underlying structure, ideas, or algorithms of the Plaid services described at https://www.plaid.com (the, “Plaid Services”); (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Plaid Services; (iii) make the Plaid Services or information and data of App Partner’s end users (such businesses and consumers, the “End Users”) provided to App Partner via the Plaid Services (such information and data, the “Output”) (or any derivative work thereof) available to, or use the Plaid Services or Output (or any derivative work thereof) for the benefit of, anyone other than App Partner or End Users; (iv) sell, resell, license, sublicense, distribute, rent or lease any Plaid Services or Output to any third-party, or include any Plaid Services or Output (or any derivative work thereof) in a service bureau, time-sharing, or equivalent offering; (v) publicly disseminate information from any source regarding the performance of the Plaid Services or Output; or (vi) attempt to create a substitute or similar service through use of, or access to, the Plaid Services or Output. App Partner will use the Plaid Services and Output only in compliance with (a) the App Partner application, use case, and other restrictions agreed to between Plaid and Crosshatch, (b) the Plaid developer policies (available at https://www.plaid.com/legal), (c) Plaid’s applicable technical user documentation (available at https://www.plaid.com/docs), and (d) any agreements between App Partner and End Users (for clarity, including any privacy policy or statement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the App Partner accepts and assumes all responsibility for complying with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with all of App Partner’s activities involving any Plaid Services, Output, or End User data. App Partner acknowledges and agrees that Plaid is neither a “consumer reporting agency” nor a “furnisher” of information to consumer reporting agencies under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and the Output is not a “consumer report” under the FCRA and cannot be used as or in such. App Partner represents and warrants that it will not, and will not permit or enable any third-party to, use the Plaid Services (including Output) as a or as part of a “consumer report” as that term is defined in the FCRA or otherwise use the Plaid Services (including Output) such that the Plaid Services (including Output) would be deemed “consumer reports” under the FCRA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, App Partner will be bound by and will only use the Plaid Services or Output in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
- Secondary Investors. Subject to this Section 2, App Partner may request that Plaid or Crosshatch disclose Output or a Crosshatch product or service incorporating Output (collectively, the “Shared Data”) to App Partner’s Secondary Investors. “Secondary Investor” means a third-party investor or purchaser of a financial product originated by App Partner and provided to an End User (e.g., a loan), with which investor or purchaser Plaid maintains a separate technical integration.some text
- App Partner represents and warrants to Plaid that, before disclosure of Shared Data to any Secondary Investor, App Partner will provide all required notices to and obtain all required consents (including notices and consents required under applicable Law) from the applicable End User with respect to disclosure of Shared Data to such Secondary Investor by Plaid or Crosshatch.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary: (i) App Partner is solely responsible for its own relationships with Secondary Investors and with Crosshatch, including any related billing matters, technical support, or disputes; (ii) App Partner will enter into legally binding written agreements with each Secondary Investor that are consistent with this Section 2 and all applicable terms and conditions of this Schedule 1, including, without limitation, Section 1 (Restrictions); and (iii) App Partner will remain responsible for compliance by Secondary Investors with all of the terms and conditions of this Schedule 1 (including, without limitation, terms relating to use of Output or Shared Data).
- App Partner will be fully liable for: (i) any breach by App Partner of this Section 2, (ii) any acts or omissions of Secondary Investors, and (iii) any dispute arising among App Partner, Crosshatch, Secondary Investors, and/or End Users relating to the disclosure or use of Shared Data as contemplated in this Section 2.
- Privacy and Authorizations. Before any End User engages with Crosshatch products or services which include, are derived from, or incorporate the Plaid Services, the App Partner warrants and will ensure that it provides all notices and obtains all consents required under applicable Law to enable Plaid to process End User data in accordance with Plaid’s privacy policy (currently available at https://www.plaid.com/privacy). App Partner will not (a) make representations or other statements with respect to End User data that are contrary to or otherwise inconsistent with Plaid’s privacy policy or (b) interfere with any independent efforts by Plaid to provide End User notice or obtain End User consent.
- WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER; ENFORCEMENT. THE PLAID SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PLAID NOR ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AND DISTRIBUTORS MAKE ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE PLAID SERVICES ARE FREE FROM DEFECTS. PLAID DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE OUTPUT THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE PLAID SERVICES. PLAID WILL BE AN INTENDED THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CROSSHATCH AND APP PARTNER AND MAY DIRECTLY ENFORCE SUCH AGREEMENT AGAINST APP PARTNER, WITHOUT CROSSHATCH’S CONSENT OR PARTICIPATION, BUT SOLELY RELATING TO THE OUTPUT OR PLAID SERVICES PROVIDED BY PLAID TO CROSSHATCH OR APP PARTNER.
- FI Data. Through the Services or Plaid Services, App Partner may have access to information about or of End Users provided to Plaid by an FI (such information, the “FI Data”).some text
- App Partner Obligations.some text
- End User Consents. App Partner will provide all notices and obtain all express consents from each End User as required under applicable laws in connection with App Partner’s use, storage and other processing of any FI Data (such notices and consents, the “Express Consents”). Express Consents will be clear and conspicuous and will generally specify the categories of FI Data that App Partner will receive and how App Partner will use, store and otherwise process it, in addition to any other required disclosures under applicable laws. App Partner will maintain records (which may include technical logs, screenshots, versions of Express Consents obtained) to demonstrate its compliance with this Section 5(a)(i) and will promptly provide such records to Plaid upon request.
- Scope of Access. App Partner will only access FI Data for which it has obtained Express Consents from the End User for the use case reviewed and permitted by Plaid in writing that is consented to by the applicable End User (such use case, the “Permitted Use Case”). Key factors Plaid will consider during its review include whether the use case is appropriate and useful to provide the End User with the App Partner application that the End User has enrolled in, whether the App Partner application provides a direct benefit to the End User, and whether the use case directly supports the development of new or improved product features for the benefit of End Users, and the jurisdiction(s) in which App Partner operates and/or stores FI Data. If App Partner possesses FI Data that exceeds the scope of the End User’s Express Consents, App Partner will use industry-standard means to permanently and securely delete (“Delete”) such FI Data.
- Data Use. App Partner will use, store and otherwise process FI Data solely in accordance with the End User’s Express Consents and applicable laws.
- Data Disclosure. App Partner will not disclose, transfer, syndicate or distribute FI Data to any third party (including its permitted service providers) (“Data Sharing”) except in each case with the End User’s Express Consents and in accordance with applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, App Partner will not sell FI Data.
- Data Deletion. App Partner will promptly Delete any FI Data upon request by the applicable End User; provided that App Partner may retain copies of FI Data solely to the extent required by applicable laws.
- No Attribution. App Partner will not charge End Users any fees attributable to an FI for (a) access to its FI Data or (b) use of End User’s account with an FI in connection with the Application. In addition, App Partner will not publicize its receipt of FI Data from specific FIs under the Agreement or this Section 5 (FI Data).
- No Other Access. App Partner will only access FI Data through the Plaid Services or another manner that uses the FI’s authorized APIs. App Partner will not “screen scrape” data from FIs or collect an End User’s log on credentials for FI accounts, and will not otherwise knowingly obtain from a third party FI Data that was originally sourced through screen scraping. App Partner will immediately Delete any such End User log on credentials in its possession. App Partner will maintain records to demonstrate compliance with this Section 1(vii) and will provide them to Plaid upon request.
- Compliance with Laws. App Partner will comply with all applicable privacy, security and other laws, including, as applicable, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and all other laws relating to FI Data. App Partner will not use, store, disclose, or otherwise process any FI Data for any purpose not permitted under applicable laws.
- Information Security Program. App Partner will maintain a comprehensive written information security program approved by its senior management (“Infosec Program”). The Infosec Program will include administrative, technical and physical measures designed to: (a) ensure the security of FI Data, (b) protect against unauthorized access to or use of FI Data and anticipated threats and hazards to FI Data and (c) ensure the proper disposal of FI Data. The Infosec Program will be appropriate to App Partner’s risk profile and activities, the nature of the Application, and the nature of the FI Data received by App Partner. In any event, the Infosec Program will meet or exceed applicable control objectives captured in industry standards and best practices such as AICPA Trust Service Criteria for Security, NIST 800-53, or ISO 27002 and will comply with applicable laws. App Partner will use up-to-date antivirus software and anti-malware tools designed to prevent viruses, malware and other malicious code in the Application or on App Partner’s systems.
- Security Breach Obligations. App Partner will promptly notify Plaid (and in no event after more than twelve (12) hours) upon becoming aware of any Security Breach, providing a description of all known facts, the types of End Users affected, and any other information that Plaid may reasonably request. App Partner will reasonably cooperate with Plaid in investigating and remediating Security Breaches. App Partner will be responsible for the costs of investigating, mitigating, and remediating the Security Breach, including costs of credit monitoring, call centers, support, and other customary or legally required remediation. “Security Breach” means any event that compromises the Application or App Partner’s systems, or that does or reasonably could compromise the security, integrity or confidentiality of FI Data or result in its unauthorized use, disclosure or loss.
- FI Confidential Information. If Plaid discloses to App Partner any confidential or proprietary materials of an FI (such materials, “FI Confidential Information”), such materials will be subject to the same obligations that apply to Crosshatch’s Confidential Information under the Agreement, which will in no event be less protective of such information than a reasonable standard of care. FI Confidential Information will also be subject to the same obligations as FI Data under this Section (a) (App Partner Obligations) of this Section 5 (FI Data).
- Oversight and Cooperation. App Partner will promptly provide all reasonably necessary information and cooperation requested by Plaid, an FI, or any entity with examination, supervision, or other legal or regulatory authority over Plaid, or an FI. In the event that Plaid has a good faith reason to believe that App Partner is not in material compliance with this Section 5 (FI Data), Plaid will notify App Partner and, at Plaid’s option, App Partner will promptly provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate such material compliance or submit to a third-party audit by a firm selected from a Plaid-approved list of audit firms to verify such compliance. Plaid and FIs may also conduct technical or operational assessments of App Partner, which will be subject to advance notice and will not occur more than once per year unless legally required and materially different in scope from a preceding audit.
- Information Sharing. Where required by an FI and to the extent relevant to an App Partner’s access or use of FI Data from that FI, Plaid may share with such FI certain information related to App Partner’s compliance with this Section 5 (FI Data), including with respect to App Partner’s Infosec Program. Plaid will request that such FI treat any such information in a confidential manner.
- Insurance. App Partner will maintain insurance coverage appropriate to App Partner’s risk profile and activities, the nature of the App Partner application, and the nature of the FI Data received by App Partner; provided that such coverage will be no less than industry standard and will include cybersecurity liability insurance.
- Access Frequency. App Partner will comply with any guidelines provided by Plaid regarding App Partner’s frequency of “batch” pulls of FI Data. Plaid may enforce such guidelines in accordance with its standard practices, which may include throttling, suspension or termination of App Partner’s access.
- Suspension. Plaid may suspend or terminate App Partner’s access to the Plaid Services or FI Data, in whole or in part, if it believes App Partner has breached this Section 5 (FI Data) or where App Partner’s use of the Plaid Services or FI Data could violate or give rise to liability under any Plaid agreement (including Plaid’s agreement with any FI) or pose a risk of harm, including reputational harm, to any End User, FI, the Plaid Services, or Plaid and its affiliates. In addition, an FI may suspend App Partner’s access to FI Data with respect to such FI.
- Indemnity. App Partner will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each FI, Plaid, and the affiliates of each of the foregoing from any claims, actions, suits, demands, losses, liabilities, damages (including taxes), costs and expenses arising from or in connection with: (a) any Security Breach resulting in unauthorized disclosure of FI Data or (b) App Partner’s unauthorized or improper use of FI Data (including any unauthorized Data Sharing, transmission, access, display, storage or loss). This Section (c) is not subject to any limitation of liabilities set forth in the Agreement. Each FI is a third-party beneficiary of this Section (c).
- Modifications. App Partner acknowledges that continued access to FI Data provided by certain FIs may require modifications to this Section 5 (FI Data), and App Partner will accept such modifications to enable App Partner to continue accessing or using the Plaid Services with respect to such FIs. Plaid will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify App Partner of the modifications and the effective date of such modifications through communications via App Partner’s account, email, or other means. If App Partner objects to the modifications, its exclusive remedy is to cease any and all access and use of the Plaid Services as it relates to such FI(s). Continued access or use of such the Plaid Services after the effective date of such modifications to this Section 5 (FI Data) will constitute App Partner’s acceptance of such modifications.
- Miscellaneous. In the event of a conflict with any other agreement (including the Agreement), the terms and conditions of Section 5 (FI Data) will govern and prevail. Capitalized terms used in this Section 5 (FI Data) and not otherwise defined will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. All provisions of this Section 5 (FI Data) will remain in force in the event of this Section 5’s (FI Data) or the Agreement’s termination or expiration.
