To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of such data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of such data, the purposes for which we process it, and the applicable legal requirements. If you have any questions about our data retention policy, please contact us by email at marketing@perxtech.com.

10.4 Data Disclosure

We may disclose personal data in the following instances however, such disclosure is not strictly necessary:

1. Service Providers: We engage selected third-party companies and individuals as “Service Providers”, to perform services on our behalf or complementary to our own. These include providers of Third Party Services  such as: hosting and server co-location services, communications and content delivery networks (CDNs), data and cyber security services, billing and payment processing services, fraud detection, investigation and prevention services, web and mobile analytics, e-mail and communication distribution and monitoring services, session or activity recording services, call recording, analytics, and transcription services, event production and hosting services, remote access services, performance measurement, data optimization and marketing services, social and advertising networks, content, lead generating and data enrichment providers, email, voicemails, video conferencing solutions, support and customer relationship management systems, third-party customer support providers, and our legal, compliance and financial advisors and auditors.

2. Partnerships: We engage selected business and channel partners, resellers, distributors, and providers of professional services related to our Services, which allows us to explore and pursue growth opportunities by facilitating a stronger local presence and tailored experiences for our prospective and existing Customers and Users. In such instances, we may share relevant contact, business, and usage details with the respective Partner, to allow them to engage with those Customers and Users for such purposes. If you directly engage with any of our Partners, please note that any aspect of that engagement that is not directly related to the Services and directed by Perx is beyond the scope of these Terms and may therefore be governed by the Partner’s separate terms and privacy policy.
3. Application Providers and Event Sponsors: If so instructed or permitted by you or your Account Administrator, we may share your personal data (such as your User Profile and contact details, as well as relevant usage data) with the provider(s) of any 3rd party applications or integrations added to your Account.

Customers and other Users: Your personal data may be shared with the Customer owning the Account to which you are subscribed as a User (including data and communications concerning your User Profile), as well as other Users of that Account. Your personal data and activity within the Services may also be monitored, processed, and analyzed by the Account Admin. This includes instances where you contact us for help in resolving an issue specific to a team of which you are a member (and which is managed by the same Customer). Also, in cases where your personal data appears in boards within that Account that are set as “private” or with limited view privileges, the Account Administrator(s) may still access it on behalf of the Customer. Any content submitted by you to private boards may still be accessed, copied, and processed by the Account Administrator(s). Your User Profile and personal data will also be made available to all the authorized Users who can view the same board(s) as you. Please note that Perx is not responsible for and does not control any further disclosure, use, or monitoring by or on behalf of the Customer (including sharing of boards or use of broadcast features within the Services), which itself acts as the “Data Controller” of such data (as further described below). If you register or access the Services using an e-mail address at a domain that is owned by your Company (our Customer), and another team within such Customer’s organization wishes to establish an account on the Services, certain information about you including your name, profile picture, contact info and general use of your Account will become accessible to the Account Administrator and Users.

Note that we do not receive or store your passwords for any of these third-party Services (but do typically require your API key to integrate with them). If you do not wish your data to be shared with such third-party Services(s), please contact your Account Administrator.

8. Legal Compliance: In exceptional circumstances, we may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to your personal data, in response to an order, search warrant, or similar requirement, or in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

19. Indemnification

19.1. By Customer

Customer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Perx and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages,  obligations, liabilities, losses, reasonable expenses, or costs (collectively hereinafter referred to as “Losses”) incurred as a result  of any third party claim arising from i) Customer’s and/ or any of its Users’, violation of these Terms or  applicable Law; and/ or ii) Customer Data, including the use of Customer Data by Perx and/ or any of its subcontractors, infringes or violates, any third party’s rights, including, without limitation,  intellectual property, privacy and/ or publicity rights.

19.2. By Perx.

We hereby agree to defend the Customer, its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, in and against any third-party claim or demand against the Customer, alleging that the Customer’s authorized use of the Service infringes or constitutes misappropriation of any third party’s copyright, trademark or registered patent (hereinafter referred to as “IP Claim”), and we will indemnify the Customer and hold  the Customer harmless against any reasonable damages and costs finally awarded on such IP Claim by a court of  competent jurisdiction or agreed to via settlement we agreed upon, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

Perx’s indemnity obligations under this Clause shall not apply if: i) the Service (or any  portion thereof) was modified by Customer or any of its Users or any third party, but solely to the extent  the IP Claim would have been avoided by not doing such modification; ii) if the Service is used in combination with any other service, device, software or products, including, without limitation, Third  Party Services, but solely to the extent that such IP Claim would have been avoided without such  combination; and/ or iii) any IP Claim arising or related to, the Customer Data or to any events giving  rise to Customer’s indemnity obligations above. Without derogating from the foregoing defense and indemnification obligation, if we believe that the Service, or any part thereof, may so infringe, then Perx may in its sole and absolute discretion: (a) obtain (at no additional cost to  you) the right to continue to use the Service; (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing part of the  Service so that it becomes non-infringing while giving substantially equivalent performance; or (c) if Perx determines that the foregoing remedies are not reasonably available, then Perx may require that use of the (allegedly) infringing Service (or part thereof) shall cease and in such an  event, Customer shall receive a prorated refund of any Subscription Fees paid for the unused portion of  the Subscription Term. THIS CLAUSE 19.2 STATES PERX’S SOLE AND ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION BY PERX AND/ OR ITS SERVICE AND UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY.

19.3. Indemnity Conditions.

The defense and indemnification obligations of the indemnifying party under  this Clause 19 are subject to: i) the indemnified party shall promptly provide a written notice of the claim for which an indemnification is being sought, provided that such indemnitee’s failure to do so will  not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Clause 19, except to the extent the  indemnifying party’s defense is materially prejudiced thereby; ii) the indemnifying party being given immediate and exclusive control over the defense and/ or settlement of the claim, provided however, that  the indemnifying party shall not enter into any compromise or settlement of any such claim that that  requires any monetary obligation or admission of liability or any unreasonable responsibility or liability by  an indemnitee without the prior written consent of the affected indemnitee, which shall not be  unreasonably withheld or delayed; and iii) the indemnified party providing reasonable cooperation and  assistance, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in the defense and/ or settlement of such claim and not  taking any action that prejudices the indemnifying party’s defense of, or response to, such claim.

20. Third-Party Components within Our Service

Our Service may include third-party codes and libraries that are subject to third-party open-source license terms (hereinafter referred to as “Open Source Code” and the “Open Source Terms” respectively). Some of such Open Source Terms determine that to the extent applicable to the respective Open Source Code licensed thereunder, such terms prevail over any conflicting license terms, including these Terms. We use our best endeavors to identify such Open Source Code, within our Service, hence we encourage the Customer to familiarize himself with such Open Source Terms. Note that we use best efforts to use only Open Source Codes that do not impose any obligation or affect the Customer Data or related intellectual property (beyond what is stated in the Open Source Terms and herein), on an ordinary use of our Service that does not involve any modification, distribution or independent use of such Open Source Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we make no warranty or indemnity hereunder with respect to any Open Source Codes.

21. Export Controls and Sanctions.

The Service may be subject to export controls, Laws, and regulations (hereinafter referred to as “Export  Controls”), and you acknowledge and confirm that: i) you are not located or use, export, re-export or  import the Service (or any portion thereof) in or to, any person, entity, organization, jurisdiction or  otherwise, in violation of the Export Controls; ii) you are not: (a) organized under the laws of, operating  from, or otherwise ordinarily resident in a country or territory that is the target of comprehensive economic or trade sanctions, (b) identified on a list of prohibited or restricted persons, such as the U.S. Treasury Department’s List of  Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, or (c) otherwise the target of sanctions. The Customer is solely responsible for complying with applicable Export Controls and sanctions which may  impose additional restrictions, prohibitions, or requirements on the use, export, re-export, or import of the  Services and/ or the Customer Data; and iii) Customer Data is not controlled under the U.S. International  Traffic in Arms Regulations or similar Laws in other jurisdictions, or otherwise requires any special  permission or license, in respect of its use, import, export or re-export hereunder.

22. Modifications.

Occasionally we may make changes to these Terms for valid reasons, such as adding new modules, functions, or features to the Service, technical adjustments, typos or error fixing, for legal or regulatory reasons, or for any other reasons as we deem necessary, at our sole discretion. When we make material changes to these Terms, we shall provide Customer with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending Customer an e-mail. Your continued use of the Service after the changes have been implemented will constitute your acceptance of the changes.

23. Law and Jurisdiction

23.1 The Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore.  

23.2 You hereby irrevocably consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, any court of competent jurisdiction located in Singapore for the purposes of adjudicating any action or proceeding to enforce the Terms.

Perx and you agree that any arbitration commenced pursuant to this clause shall be conducted in accordance with the Expedited Procedure set out in Rule 5.2 of the SIAC Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. The Tribunal shall consist of 3 (three) arbitrators, 1 (one) appointed by you and us, and 1 (one) appointed by the SIA. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

24. Force Majeure

24.1 Neither Perx nor you shall be responsible for any failure to perform their respective obligations, if it is prevented or delayed in performing those obligations by a force majeure event being defined as an event of force majeure is an event or circumstance which is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the party affected and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence the party affected was unable to prevent provided that event or circumstance is limited to the following: (a) riot, war, invasion, insurrection, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not) acts of terrorism, civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection of military or usurped power, requisition or compulsory acquisition by any governmental or competent authority; (b) ionising radiation or contamination, radio activity from any nuclear fuel or from any nuclear waste from the combustion of nuclear fuel, radioactive toxic explosive or other hazardous properties of any explosive assembly or nuclear component; (c) pressure waves caused by aircraft or other aerial devices travelling at sonic or supersonic speeds; (d) earthquakes, flood, fire or other physical natural disaster, but excluding weather conditions regardless of severity; (e) delays in failure to obtain government approvals, embargoes, epidemics, pandemics; and (f) strikes at national level or industrial disputes at a national level, or strike or industrial disputes by labour not employed by the affected party, its subcontractors or its suppliers and which affect an essential portion of the works but excluding any industrial dispute which is specific to the performance of the Services under these Terms (“Force Majeure Event”).

24.2 Where there is a Force Majeure Event, the party prevented from or delayed in performing its obligations must immediately notify the other party giving full particulars of the Force Majeure Event and the reasons for the Force Majeure Event preventing that party from or delaying that party in performing its obligations and that party must use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure Event upon its or their performance and to fulfill its or their obligations.

24.3 Upon completion of the Force Majeure Event, the party affected must as soon as reasonably practicable, recommence the performance of its obligations. Where the party affected is Perx, we shall provide a revised program rescheduling the Services to minimize the effects of the prevention or delay caused by the Force Majeure Event.

24.4 A Force Majeure Event does not relieve a party from liability for an obligation that arose before the occurrence of that event, nor does that event affect the obligation to pay money in a timely manner that matured prior to the occurrence of that event.

24.5 If the performance of the affected Party’s obligations under the Terms is not resumed within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, you may terminate the Terms by notice to Perx, without any liability to you.

28. No Waiver

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms will constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver under these Terms will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party being deemed to have granted the waiver.

29. Transition Assistance

29.1 If upon or after expiration of any subscription period or termination (as the case may be) of the Terms for any reason, you determine that transition assistance is necessary, we shall, upon written notification to you, provide you with reasonable transition assistance for such transition period as may be requested by you in writing however, in any case for a maximum period of up 2 (two) months (“Transition Period”).

29.4 During the Transition Period, you shall be entitled to request that we continue to host Customer Data on our system on the terms and conditions of the Terms, including at the same standards; and we shall endeavor to continue maintaining all Customer Data, information, data and functionality of the Services so as to not interrupt any use or expected use of the Services by you.

30. Data Retention

30.1 We seek to ensure that we retain only data necessary to effectively conduct our Services. The need to retain data varies widely with the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected. We strive to ensure that data is only retained for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and it shall be deleted when no longer required.

30.2 Data may be retained by systems and/ or media leased or owned by us, regardless of location. It applies to both data collected and held electronically (including photographs, video, and audio recordings) and data that is collected and held as hard copy or paper files. The need to retain certain information may be mandated by applicable laws, rules, or regulations as well as legitimate business purposes of Perx.

30.3 We may retain data for: i) providing an ongoing Service to you, ii) compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations associated with our business activities and customers, iii) compliance with applicable laws, iv) other regulatory requirements, v) security incident management or other investigation, vi) intellectual property preservation, and vii) litigation.

30.4. We seek to avoid duplication in data storage whenever possible, though there may be instances in which for the provision of Services or other business reasons it is necessary for data to be held in more than one place. This policy applies to all data in our possession, including duplicate copies of data.

30.5 We have set the following guidelines for the retaining of data:

1. a) Website visitor data will be retained as long as necessary to provide the Services requested/ initiated through the Perx website.
2. b) Event participant data will be retained for the period of the event, including any follow-up activities, such as the distribution of reports, plus a period of 1 (one) year;
3. c) Operational data related to our Services, reporting, and program management will be held for a period of up to 5 (five) years.

30.6 Data destruction ensures that we manage the data we control and process it in an efficient and responsible manner. When the retention period for the data as outlined above expires, we will destroy the data. If any customer of ours believes that there exists a legitimate business reason why certain data should not be destroyed at the end of a retention period, they should identify this data and provide us with relevant information as to why the data should not be destroyed. Any exceptions to this data retention policy must be approved by us in advance in writing. In rare circumstances, a litigation hold may be issued by legal counsel prohibiting the destruction of certain documents. A litigation hold remains in effect until released by legal counsel and prohibits the destruction of data subject to the hold.
