13. AMA DATA ADDITIONAL LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Applicable only to AMA Data)

13.1 AMA Data. Any physician names, mailing or office addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, specialties and No Contact flags in the MMS List and NOWW Platform, whether identified to a physician or medical student by name or other identifier, shall be treated by MMS and Client as being derived from the American Medical Association’s Physician Professional Data proprietary database (such variables referred to hereafter as “AMA Data”).  The continuing receipt and use of any AMA Data is contingent upon Client’s executing and complying with the Agreement. AMA Data, the structure, sequence, and organization thereof, all listings, and the information contained thereon/therein, and any copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and other intellectual property rights embodied therein or derived therefrom are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of the AMA.  Client shall not contest AMA’s rights in the AMA Data and shall not do (or omit to do) or authorize any third party to do (or omit to do), anything inconsistent with such rights. Client shall promptly notify MMS of any infringement, misappropriation, or violation of AMA’s rights of which Client becomes aware.

13.2 Confidentiality of AMA Data. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in the Agreement, AMA Data will be deemed to be the Confidential Information of MMS. Client shall, without exception, treat the AMA Data as confidential, using the same degree of care to protect the AMA Data that Client uses to protect its own confidential information, but in any event not less than a reasonable degree of care. Except as required by applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation, the term Confidential Information as used in this Order Form and the Agreement shall not include information that: (i) at the time of disclosure is or becomes, generally available to and known by the public other than as a result of any material breach of this Order Form and the Agreement by the Receiving Party; (ii) at the time of disclosure is, or thereafter becomes, available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source, provided that, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, such third party is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information to the Receiving Party by any contractual obligation; (iii) was known by or in the possession of the Receiving Party prior to being disclosed by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party pursuant to this Agreement; (iv) was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or (v) information that is approved for disclosure by written consent of the Disclosing Party.

13.3.2 Client shall, at its sole expense: (i) promptly notify MMS and AMA of any unauthorized access, disclosure, acquisition, or use of AMA Data that it believes or is aware has occurred (a “Security Breach”). Client shall promptly investigate the Security Breach and (a) provide frequent updates with respect to Client’s investigation of the Security Breach, (b) promptly provide to MMS and AMA a written report that sets forth Client’s root cause analysis and corrective action plan, (c) implement the corrective action plan and mitigate and remediate the effects of the Security Breach as soon as practicable and (d) provide MMS and AMA with frequent updates with respect to Client’s mitigation and remediation efforts. Client shall reimburse MMS and AMA on demand for all reasonable costs associated with addressing and responding to any Security Breach arising from Client’s failure to comply with this Section (13.3) including, without limitation, the costs incurred by MMS and AMA for (aa) preparation and mailing or other transmission of notifications regarding the Security Breach and (bb) preparation and mailing or other transmission of other communications regarding the Security Breach as MMS and AMA deems reasonably appropriate.

13.3.3 Client acknowledges that its violation of this Section (13.3) would cause irreparable harm to MMS and AMA, the amount of which would be impossible to estimate, thus making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Client therefore agrees that MMS and AMA may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and be granted, an injunction compelling specific performance by Client of its obligations under this Section 13.3 without the necessity of posting any bond. This right will be in addition to any other remedy available under this Order Form or the MMS Agreement General Terms and Conditions.
