    Upon termination of the Agreement, a copy of the Customer's data shall, on a request from the Customer that shall be made at the latest 60 days from the termination of the Agreement, promptly be returned to the Customer or a person designated by the Customer, and any parts which exist electronically shall if the Customer so wishes and to the extent reasonable, be submitted in electronic form by the Customer's instructions.

    After the expiry of such 60 days, and unless otherwise required by applicable law, HEARTSPACE may destroy such Customer’s data, or differently make it inaccessible to the Customer.

    In the relationship between the Customer and HEARTSPACE, the Customer is the holder of all rights about the Customer's data unless otherwise followed by the Agreement.

    The Customer is liable for and shall indemnify and hold HEARTSPACE harmless from and against, any infringement by Customer's data of any third party right or any other non-compliance with applicable law.

    When processing personal data within the scope of our Services, the Customer is the data controller and HEARTSPACE is the data processor. As a data controller, it is the Customer's responsibility that personal data is processed by applicable legislation. HEARTSPACE undertakes that it will only process personal data by the Agreement and the Customer's written instructions. Where the requested action does not follow from the Agreement, HEARTSPACE shall be remunerated for following the Customer's written instructions. HEARTSPACE shall implement the agreed technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. HEARTSPACE shall be prepared to comply with any orders issued by any governmental authority by law about any measures required to fulfill the stipulated security requirements for the Customer's data. Where HEARTSPACE incurs extra costs for complying with amended security requirements, the Customer shall compensate HEARTSPACE for any such costs. HEARTSPACE shall immediately notify the Customer upon discovering any completed or attempted unauthorized access to, destruction of, or amendment to the Customer's data.

    HEARTSPACE shall allow any inspections that a governmental authority may be entitled to require under the law about personal data processing. HEARTSPACE may charge the Customer for any costs in connection with the implementation of such inspection.

    When using a subcontractor who processes personal data (a “Subprocessor”), HEARTSPACE, as the Customer's representative, shall sign an agreement with the Subprocessor, according to which the Subprocessor, shall act as data processor. Where personal data will be transferred to a country outside of the EU/EEA, HEARTSPACE shall ensure that the Subprocessor signs the EU's standard agreement clauses for transferring personal data to a third country. The same actions shall be applied regarding personal data related to US customers where HEARTSPACE shall act following relevant US legislation. HEARTSPACE shall be entitled to sign any relevant processing agreement as a representative of the Customer.

    Heartspace takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of personal data. Personal data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT-enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

    All intellectual property (“IP”), including but not limited to any data, files, text, and graphic content provided to HEARTSPACE by the customer “Customer IP”, is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Customer (or, where applicable, the third party from whom its right to use the IP has derived).

    All intellectual property rights (“IPR”), excluding the Customer IP and any work created by HEARTSPACE for the Customer, arising in connection with the Agreement shall be the property of HEARTSPACE, and HEARTSPACE hereby grants the Customer a non-exclusive license of such IPR to receive the Services. Such license shall be granted and continue subject to full payment of the applicable Service Fees.

    All material submitted by the Customer for publication will be considered publicly accessible. HEARTSPACE does not screen in advance customer material submitted to HEARTSPACE for publication. HEARTSPACE’s publication of material submitted by customers does not create any express or implied approval by HEARTSPACE of such material, nor does it indicate that such material complies with the terms of the Agreement. The Customer hereby grants to HEARTSPACE a non-exclusive license to publish and use such material, which may be sub-licensed to any contractor acting on behalf of HEARTSPACE. The Customer must obtain permission and rights to use any information or files that are copyrighted/protected by IPR by a third party.

    Confidentiality

    The Parties hereby undertake, during the term of the Agreement and thereafter, not to disclose to any third-party information regarding the Agreement, nor any other information which the Parties have learned as a result of the Agreement, whether written or oral and irrespective of form (“Confidential Information”). The Parties agree and acknowledge that the Confidential Information may be used solely for the fulfillment of the obligations under the Agreement and not for any other purpose. The receiving Party further agrees to use, and cause its directors, officers, employees, sub-contractors, or other intermediaries to use, the same degree of care (but not less than reasonable care) to avoid disclosure or use of Confidential Information as it uses concerning its own confidential and/or proprietary information.

    This confidentiality undertaking does not apply to information which

    a) at the date of its disclosure is in the public domain or at any time thereafter comes into the public domain (other than through breach of this Agreement); or

    b) The receiving Party can evidence that was in its possession or was independently developed at the time of disclosure and was not obtained, directly or indirectly, by or as a result of a breach of a confidentiality obligation.

    This confidentiality undertaking shall not apply to the extent that any Party is required to disclose information by law or according to any order of a court or other competent authority or tribunal or by any applicable stock exchange regulations or the regulations of any other recognized marketplace. If any Party would be required to make any such disclosure, each Party undertakes to give the other Party immediate notice before any such disclosure. Each Party also agrees and undertakes to use its best efforts to ensure that any information disclosed under this section, to the extent possible, shall be treated confidentially by anyone receiving such information.

    Unless otherwise followed by applicable law, HEARTSPACE’s pricing information or other information that a Party specifies as confidential shall always be regarded as a business or professional secret.

    This confidentiality undertaking shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall remain in force during a period of three (3) years thereafter.

    Competition and non-solicitation

    Customer agrees not to, either directly or indirectly, engage in any activities that may compete with HEARTSPACE or its business during the Term of the Agreement and for a period of six (6) months thereafter.

    During the term of the Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter (regardless of the timing or reason for termination), the Customer will not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit, assist or in any way encourage any employee or consultant of HEARTSPACE, which includes all HEARTSPACE subsidiaries or of any entity affiliated therewith, to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship with HEARTSPACE or any such entity. HEARTSPACE is entitled to a fine corresponding to SEK one million (1 000 000) for each violation. If HEARTSPACE’s damage due to the breach of non-solicitation exceeds the aforementioned penalty, HEARTSPACE shall be entitled to compensation from the Customer that includes such excess amounts.

    Governing law and dispute settlement

    Swedish law shall apply to these Terms.

    Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be finally settled by Swedish law at the district court of Stockholm.

    Assignment

    HEARTSPACE may assign its rights and (where permissible by law) its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any third party at any time without prior notice, including without limitation, to any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or business of HEARTSPACE. The performance of the Services may be made by HEARTSPACE, one or more affiliates of HEARTSPACE, or subcontractors of any of the foregoing entities. For purposes of this Agreement, the performance of the Services by any of the aforementioned provided shall be deemed performance by HEARTSPACE itself. HEARTSPACE shall remain fully responsible for the performance or nonperformance of the Services by any of these providers. The Customer may not assign this Agreement or the rights and duties hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party without the prior written consent of HEARTSPACE. Any such requests for the assignment of rights will be handled at the sole discretion of HEARTSPACE.

    Force majeure

    We are not responsible for delays and defects outside our control. If our deliveries are delayed by an event outside our control, we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay.

    Neither Party shall be liable for any failure in performance of the obligation under this Agreement due to cause beyond that Party’s reasonable control (including and not limited to any pandemic, fire, strike, act, or order of public authority) during the pendency of such event.

    When the Force Majeure Event has persisted for six (6) months, each Party shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect.
