payment of invoices, invoices not timely paid may be subject to interest penalties of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month (18% per year) or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is less. Any
delinquent Subscriber account may result in TRADS reporting to Dun & Bradstreet or other business
credit reporting agencies.
By providing payment information online and/or directly to TRADS, Subscriber authorizes TRADS to
charge credit card or other account designated for such purpose ("Payment Source") in accordance with
any and all payment terms set forth in the written pricing agreement between the parties.

Agreement.
14. Confidentiality; Reservation of Rights
Subscriber shall (and cause its Permitted Users to) hold in confidence and shall (and shall cause its
Permitted Users to) not disclose, in whole or in part, information relating to TRADS’ business, including,
without limitation, products, services, systems, processes, pricing, data sources, test results, and other
TRADS technical and financial information, including the terms of the Subscriber Agreement, as well as
TRADS Services and information derived from the TRADS Services (“Services Information”), and any
analyses, compilations and reports derived from any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing in
this paragraph, Subscriber shall be permitted to take actions as required to comply with public records
laws applicable to Subscriber as a governmental entity, provided, however, TRADS’ trade secret
information and the Services Information (as same may be personally identifiable information subject to
protection under applicable law, such as the GLBA or DPPA) is to be excluded from disclosure. If legally
permissible, Subscriber shall provide TRADS with prompt, written notice of any public records request
submitted as well as Subscriber’s proposed response to the same, so as to permit TRADS to claim any
objection to public records disclosures that is permitted by and consistent with the public records law
at issue.
TRADS and Subscriber acknowledge that they each may have access to confidential information of the
disclosing party relating to the disclosing party’s business including, without limitation, technical,
financial, strategies and related information, computer programs, algorithms, know-how, processes,
ideas, inventions, schematics, trade secrets, and other information (whether written or oral), and in the
case of Services Information, product information, pricing information, product development plans,
forecasts, the TRADS Services, and other business information (“Confidential Information”). Confidential
Information shall not include information that: (i) was known to the receiving party, as demonstrated
through its written records, prior to the time of receipt under the Subscriber Agreement and these
Terms and Conditions; (ii) is or becomes public or available to the general public (through no improper
action or inaction by the receiving party); (iii) was independently developed without use of any
Confidential Information of the disclosing party by employees of the receiving party who have had no
access to such Confidential Information; or (iv) was lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third-
party and received in good faith and without any duty of confidentiality by the receiving party or the
third-party. Each receiving party agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information or information
derived therefrom to any third-party and shall protect the confidentiality of the Confidential
Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential
information and trade secrets, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party may disclose Confidential Information solely to the
extent required by subpoena, court order or other governmental authority, provided that the receiving
party shall give the disclosing party prompt written notice of such subpoena, court order or other
governmental authority so as to allow the disclosing party to have an opportunity to obtain a protective
Subscriber Agreement—Public Sector_Version: 2.24.2022
Page 1 of 1
order to prohibit or restrict such disclosure at its sole cost and expense. Confidential Information
disclosed pursuant to subpoena, court order or other governmental authority shall otherwise remain
subject to the terms applicable to Confidential Information.
Each party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall continue for the term of the
Subscriber Agreement and Terms and Conditions and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, provided
however, that with respect to trade secrets, each party’s obligations shall continue for so long as such
Confidential Information continues to constitute a trade secret. In the event that a receiving party has
or acquires actual knowledge of any breach of the confidentiality of, or the misappropriation of, any
Confidential Information received under this Agreement, such party shall promptly give notice thereof
to the other party.
Neither party shall issue any news releases, advertising or promotional releases relating to this
Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party. Such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Prior to responding to any inquiry, that either party receives from news media
concerning this Agreement, the parties shall coordinate their responses with each other.
Subscriber acknowledges that TRADS has expended considerable time, effort and funds to create,
compile and generate the TRADS Services and Services Information. Except for the limited access and
use rights granted in the Subscriber Agreement, TRADS and its data sources retain all respective rights,
titles and interests in the TRADS Services and Services Information, and Subscriber is not granted any
ownership rights or title thereto, whether by estoppel or otherwise. Subscriber shall not (and shall
cause its Permitted Users not to) use the TRADS Services or Services Information in any way that may
infringe any copyright or other proprietary interests of TRADS or a third party. TRADS shall be permitted
to retain Subscriber’s search inquiry data used to access the TRADS Services for TRADS’ then-current
record retention period.
Each party acknowledges that any breach of any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality or use
of Confidential Information hereunder is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to the other
party. The parties therefore agree that in the event of such breach by either party, the other party
shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interests, including but not limited to preliminary
and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving any actual damages sustained by the
disclosing party. Moreover, any such award of relief to the discloser of such Confidential Information
shall include recovery of all actual and reasonable costs associated with enforcement of this
Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge their respective obligations to control access to technical
information and material under the U.S. Export Laws and Regulations and agree to adhere to such Laws
and Regulations with regard to any technical information and material received under this Agreement.

unauthorized use.
Subscriber and its Permitted Users are authorized to access the TRADS Services and in no event will
Subscribers’ or its Permitted Users’ use of the TRADS Services be considered unauthorized so long as
TRADS has not suspended or terminated the TRADS Services with respect to Subscriber. Subscriber’s and

demonstrate compliance with its obligations under this Agreement; and (vii) in addition to the
obligations set forth herein, Subscriber shall take all commercially reasonable measures to prevent
unauthorized access to, or use of, TRADS Services or Services Information by any person or entity.
In the event Subscriber will utilize a third party (“Third Party Provider”) for the purpose of accessing
and/or transmitting requests for, receiving, hosting, or otherwise performing processing of any kind
related to Subscriber’s access to and/or use of the TRADS Services and/or Services Information, such as,
for example, but not limited to, an application services provider, platform provider, systems interface
provider, or internet or hosting services provider, Subscriber shall ensure it has first entered into an
agreement with such Third Party Provider prohibiting such Third Party Provider’s use of, and/or access
to, the TRADS Services and Services Information for any purpose other than to the extent necessary to
provide such Third Party Provider’s services to Subscriber. Subscriber shall ensure its Third Party
Provider complies with TRADS’ technical specifications and access and security requirements, as same
are updated from time to time. If, and when, using a Third Party Provider to access (such as, for
example, and not limited to, a third party link to the TRADS Services), transmit requests for, or receive
the TRADS Services and/or Services Information, Subscriber authorizes such Third Party Provider to act
on Subscriber’s behalf as a third-party intermediary, including, as applicable, transmittal to TRADS of
Subscriber’s user credentials and other required authentication information. Certain features and/or
functionality and searches and/or reports may not be available to Subscriber within the TRADS Services
when accessing the TRADS Services via a third party platform, application or interface. TRADS is not
responsible for errors in configuration, authentication, and/or provisioning by any Third Party Provider
used by Subscriber.

Subscriber shall be solely liable for any of its, Permitted Users’, or Third Party Provider’s actions or
omissions, including, but not limited to, any misappropriation or other compromise of TRADS ID’s and/or
passwords, any misappropriation and/or unauthorized disclosure of TRADS Services and/or Services
Information, any security/data breaches (as defined by applicable law), or any misuse of the TRADS
Services and/or Services Information in violation of this Agreement or applicable law.
Subscriber shall fully cooperate with TRADS in mitigating any damages due to any misappropriation or
unauthorized use or disclosure of any TRADS Services or Services Information. Such cooperation shall
include, but not necessarily be limited to, allowing TRADS to participate in the investigation of the
cause and extent of such misappropriation and/or unauthorized use or disclosure. Such cooperation
shall not relieve Subscriber of any liability it may have as a result of such a misappropriation and/or
unauthorized use or disclosure. Subscriber agrees, that to the extent any such unauthorized use,
unauthorized disclosure, misappropriation, or other event is due to Subscriber’s (including, without
limitation, its employee’s, Permitted Users’ or Third Party Provider’s) negligence, intentional wrongful
conduct, or breach of this Agreement, Subscriber shall be responsible for any required consumer, public
and/or other notifications, and all costs associated therewith; provided however, that other than
except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, Subscriber shall make no public
notification, including but not limited to press releases or consumer notifications, of the potential or
actual occurrence of such misappropriation and/or unauthorized disclosure without TRADS’ prior written
consent, and, with respect to any such notifications required by law, Subscriber shall not use any TRADS
trade name, trademark, service mark, logo, in any such notifications without the prior written approval
of TRADS.
Furthermore, Subscriber understands and agrees that its Permitted Users and/or Third Party Providers
contractors shall not be entitled as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, to take any action or have
any recourse against TRADS in respect of any claim based upon any actual or alleged failure to perform
under this Agreement.
16. Conflict
If there is a conflict between the terms of the documents constituting the Agreement, the order of
precedence is as follows, unless expressly agreed otherwise by TRADS and Subscriber: Pricing
Supplement, Terms and Conditions, then Subscriber Agreement.
To the extent that any TRADS Services rely upon or use information from any third-party sources, then
those sources shall be intended third-party beneficiaries with all rights and privileges of TRADS. TRADS,
and any such sources (as intended third-party beneficiaries), are entitled to enforce the Subscriber
Agreement directly against Subscriber.
17. Governing Law
The Subscriber Agreement and these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State in
which Subscriber’s principal place of business is located, without reference to its choice of law rules or,
if Subscriber is a U.S. federal government entity, then by U.S. federal laws.
18. Survival
All provisions in this Subscriber Agreement that relate to disclaimer of warranties, access and use of
TRADS Services, audit, limitation of liability, indemnification, Subscriber’s release of claims,
confidentiality of TRADS information, and payment for TRADS Services, shall survive any termination of
