The Rose Rocket Services do not, however, replace the need for Customer to maintain regular data backups or redundant data archives. If any Customer Data is lost, Rose Rocket will make commercially reasonable efforts to assist in restoring such lost data. Rose Rocket does not guarantee that it (or its outsourced hosting provider) will back up Customer’s data, or that any backup will complete without error, or that any specific Customer Data will be restored, nor that it will retain any backup for longer than seven (7) days. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, if Customer so requests, and provided that Customer has paid all undisputed fees under this Agreement, Rose Rocket will furnish to Customer within fifteen (15) business days of such request, an electronic copy of all Customer Data, in a form to be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties.
4(a) Rose Rocket agrees to abide by all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations in connection with providing the Rose Rocket Services, including, without limitation, all laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States through the Rose Rocket Services and all Applicable Privacy Laws. “Applicable Privacy Laws” means, in relation to any personal information that is processed in the provision of the Rose Rocket Services, the applicable legislation on the protection of identifiable individuals, including where applicable the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act found at 15 U.S.C.

Beginning no later than July 01, 2023, Rose Rocket will provide such assurances in the form of a SOC 2 Type II report. The reporting period for the SOC report(s) will be each calendar year. If a SOC report from retained third-party auditors yields critical deviations, Rose Rocket shall within 120 days of receiving such report remediate, retest and resolve such critical deviations.
4(b) If Rose Rocket becomes aware of any unlawful access to any Customer Data stored on Rose Rocket’s equipment (including the Rose Rocket Systems) (a “Security Incident”), Rose Rocket will promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after becoming aware): (1) notify Customer of the Security Incident; (2) take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects and to minimize damage resulting from the Security Incident; and (3) at Customer’s request, take commercially reasonable steps to assist Customer in complying with its obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws pertaining to responding to a Security Incident.
4(c) Notification(s) of Security Incidents will be delivered to one or more of Customer’s administrators specifically designated by Customer for the receipt of such notifications by any means Rose Rocket selects, including via email. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure Customer’s administrators maintain accurate contact information on the online portal for the Rose Rocket Services. Rose Rocket’s obligation to report or respond to a Security Incident under this Section is not an acknowledgement by Rose Rocket of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident. If Customer becomes aware of any possible misuse of its accounts or Access Credentials or any security incident related to the Rose Rocket Services, Customer must notify Rose Rocket promptly thereof.
4(d) Rose Rocket shall promptly notify Customer if Rose Rocket receives a request from a data subject to have access to personal information or any other complaint or request relating to Customer’s obligations under applicable data protection laws. Rose Rocket shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer to facilitate Customer’s ability to respond to such request or complaint (including, without limitation, by allowing data subjects to have access to their personal information if such access is required by the applicable data protection laws, and where the personal information is not already available to Customer).
4(e) As between the Parties, Customer or its Authorized Users have and will retain sole responsibility for: (a) Customer’s information technology infrastructure, including computers, software, databases, electronic systems (including database management systems) and networks, whether operated directly by Customer or through the use of third-party service providers (“Customer Systems”).

5(b) Customer shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Systems and the Customer Data, as well as any data that is based on or derived from the Customer Data and provided to Customer as part of the Rose Rocket Services. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use the Customer Data. Customer grants to Rose Rocket a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty free license to utilize the Customer Data hereunder for the sole and exclusive purpose of providing the Rose Rocket Services to Customer hereunder (including a license to store, record, transmit, maintain, and use, reproduce, modify, adapt, distribute and publicly display Customer Data only to the extent necessary to carry out Rose Rocket’s obligations under this Agreement). In addition, and despite anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Rose Rocket shall have the right to collect and analyze Customer Data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Rose Rocket Services and related systems and technologies (including, without limitation, information concerning Customer’s use of the Rose Rocket Services and data derived therefrom), and Rose Rocket will be free (during and after the Term) to (i) internally use such information and data to improve and enhance the Rose Rocket Services and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Services and other Rose Rocket offerings, and (ii) disclose such data solely in aggregate or other de-identified form in connection with its business and solely to the extent any such disclosure would not enable the recipient to determine (whether based on such data alone or as combined with any other data) that the source of such data is Customer.
6(a) Definition. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by either Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement if, when disclosed in tangible form, such information is marked “confidential,” “proprietary,” or with a similar designation, or if, when disclosed orally or by inspection, it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and followed by a letter designated by the legend “confidential” (or comparable legend) sent to Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of such disclosure and setting forth such oral or visual information to be treated as Confidential Information hereunder. Despite the foregoing: (i) each Party’s product road maps, product development plans, pricing, business plans, customer lists, business and financial information shall be deemed to be such Party’s Confidential Information, whether or not such items are marked “confidential”, “proprietary”, or with a similar designation. Confidential Information will not, however, include any information which (a) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party through no action or inaction of the Receiving Party; (c) is already in the possession or comes into the possession of the Receiving Party where such possession is not the result of a breach of confidentiality, in each case, as shown by the Receiving Party’s files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as shown by document and other competent evidence in the Receiving Party’s possession. Customer shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party in the case of the disclosure of any information by an Authorized User.
6(b) Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. Except to the extent authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required to be disclosed by a court or governmental agency pursuant to a statute, regulation, or valid order; provided, however, that (i) the Receiving Party first notifies the Disclosing Party and gives the Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek a protective order, or to contest such required disclosure and (ii) the Receiving Party will continue to treat the Confidential Information disclosed hereunder by the Disclosing Party as Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for all other purposes. Each Party agrees that it shall take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other Party. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall take at least those measures that it takes to protect its own most highly confidential information and shall ensure that its employees who have access to Confidential Information of the other Party have signed a nonuse and nondisclosure agreement in content similar to the provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information to such employees.
6(c) Equitable Relief. Because of the unique and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, it is understood and agreed that the Disclosing Party’s remedies at law for a breach by the Receiving Party of its obligations under this Section may be inadequate and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief (including without limitation provisional and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) for any such breach.
6(d) Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Receiving Party will destroy (or, at the other Party’s written request, return) all copies of all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in its possession or under its control.
The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated as provided hereunder (hereinafter, “Term”).

Customer understands and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, purchase orders placed under this Agreement are not subject to refund, credit or off-set.
7(c) Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time in the case of the other Party’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, unless the other Party cures such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party: (i) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (ii) files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law if such petition or proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iv) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business (each of (i) through (iv), an “Insolvency Event”).
7(d) Termination of UniGroup Relationship. If Customer ceases being an appropriate business partner of UniGroup (statutory agent of its motor carriers affiliates or otherwise), then, upon direction from UniGroup to Rose Rocket, this Agreement shall be immediately terminated.
7(e) Survival. Those provisions, which by their nature survive termination, shall continue after termination or expiration of this Agreement. Those provisions include, but are not necessarily limited to: Sections 2(b), 5, 6, 7(e), 7(f) and 8 to 11 of this Agreement, all related definitions, and all accrued rights to payment
7(f) Additional Remedies. Termination is not an exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement by either Party.

The failure of the indemnified Party to perform any obligations under this Section will not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
