For Items transferred via the Non-Delivery Method, Merchant shall remain responsible for complying with all health and safety laws and regulations applicable in relation to all Non-Delivery Items, up to and including the time of transfer of the Non-Delivery Items to a Customer.
- Merchant is responsible for costs related to reimbursement to Customers in the event any such Customer(s) request a refund for Substandard Items or otherwise unsatisfactory Item(s) (including, without limitation, any costs associated with retrieving any such Substandard Items or otherwise unsatisfactory Item(s), if applicable). In addition, if a Substandard Item is delivered to a Customer via the Marketplace Method, MyBite may assess a Substandard Item delivery fee (“Substandard Item Delivery Fee”) to Merchant to offset the cost of delivery of the Substandard Item. MyBite may deduct refunds (including the Substandard Item Delivery Fee) from the Item Revenue transmitted to Merchant under this Agreement in accordance with MyBite’s refund policy, as updated from time to time, provided always that Merchant has received notification of such refund policy.
- Documentation. Merchant will provide MyBite with all Required Documentation that MyBite may request acting reasonably, including but not limited to business license, food premises inspection certificate, food handling certificate, health inspection results, tax identification number, information regarding Sales Tax status, Liquor Licence, licenses to sell or handle regulated items, banking documentation, and all Invoice Details. Merchant is solely responsible for providing MyBite with, and maintaining, accurate bank account information.
- Restrictions. Merchant will not, and will not allow any third party to: (i) use the MyBite Services, the MyBite Tools, or any other transactional, operational, performance or other data or information that is related to the sale of the Items (and, if applicable, delivery) to Customers through the MyBite App to compete with MyBite, its Affiliates, or the MyBite Services; (ii) reverse engineer or attempt to discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms used to provide the MyBite Services or MyBite Tools (except to the extent that Applicable Law prohibits reverse engineering restrictions); or (iii) provide, lease, lend, disclose, or otherwise use or allow others to use, in each case, for the direct benefit of any third party, the MyBite Services or MyBite Tools (except as otherwise authorized by MyBite).
- Alcohol. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Merchant may use the MyBite App to arrange the sale and delivery of alcohol Items to Customers. If Merchant elects to do so, Merchant is subject to the additional terms set forth herein:
- Prior to making any alcohol Items available for sale, Merchant will first notify MyBite of its intention to add alcohol Items to its menu for each premises from which Merchant intends to sell alcohol.
- Merchant represents and warrants that Merchant holds a valid and subsisting Liquor Licence; and (ii) Merchant is compliant with all liquor laws, regulations, policies, and conditions attached to Merchant’s Liquor Licence.
iii. In the event Merchant’s Liquor Licence is suspended, revoked, canceled, expired, or otherwise ceases to be in full force and effect, Merchant will: (i) immediately cease making alcohol Items available for purchase via the MyBite App; and (ii) immediately notify MyBite of the change in status to its Liquor Licence.
- Merchant will take reasonable measures and conduct appropriate diligence to help ensure that: (i) alcohol Items are not delivered to persons under the legal age in Merchant’s jurisdiction; (ii) alcohol Items are not delivered to intoxicated persons; (iii) if using the Marketplace Method, Merchant provides alcohol Items for delivery only to the specific Marketplace Delivery Person who has agreed via the MyBite App to deliver that order; and (iv) if using the Non-Delivery or Merchant Managed Delivery Method, Merchant’s staff has received any required server training or certification and ensures the Customer is of legal drinking age and not intoxicated.
- Merchant will write “Check ID” on the exterior of any package containing an alcohol Item, or will otherwise indicate and communicate to a Delivery Person that an order contains alcohol Items in a manner requested by MyBite.
- If Applicable Law requires Merchant to include food or a meal with each alcohol delivery or takeout order, Merchant will ensure that food or a meal is included with every order of alcohol Items in a manner that complies with the Applicable Law.
vii. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that in any jurisdiction(s) where MyBite or Affiliates do not hold a liquor delivery licence, Marketplace Delivery Persons will deliver Items pursuant to and under the authority of Merchant’s Liquor Licence. As such, Merchant is responsible for ensuring compliance with Applicable Law governing liquor delivery in Merchant’s jurisdiction. However, in any jurisdiction(s) where applicable statute(s) require MyBite or Affiliates to hold a liquor delivery licence, Marketplace Delivery Persons will deliver Items pursuant to and under the authority of MyBite’s or Affiliate’s liquor delivery licence.
viii. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for ensuring that all of the Items listed in the MyBite App comply with any Applicable Law governing the pricing of liquor products. Merchant understands that from time to time MyBite provides promotional incentives to Customers, and Merchant will take appropriate and reasonable measures to ensure that Items comply with minimum liquor pricing requirements.
- Merchant will appropriately label and describe Items in its menu on the MyBite App, including accurately stating the percentage alcohol by volume of a given Item. In its use of the MyBite Tools, Merchant will comply with all marketing and promotional laws, regulations, and policies relating to liquor, including but not limited to the rules and guidelines published by the applicable provincial liquor regulatory authorities.
- Merchant will properly configure its menu(s) on the MyBite App to ensure that all alcohol Items are accurately identified as alcohol in MyBite’s systems.
- Merchant acknowledges MyBite may temporarily or permanently disable the listing of alcohol Items in a particular geography, at MyBite’s discretion, including to ensure optimization for local conditions and regulations.
xii. Merchant will provide any Required Documentation related to liquor to MyBite immediately upon request.
For the purposes of this section, “alcohol” and “liquor” describe Items that are classified and regulated as liquor under Applicable Law.
- Tax. Merchant is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of its own tax filings
- Ratings
. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that, after receiving Item(s), a Customer may be prompted by the MyBite App to provide a rating of such Item(s) (and, if applicable, delivery) and, at such Customer’s option, to provide comments or feedback related to the Customer’s experience with Merchant, the relevant Item(s) on the MyBite App, and either the delivery services (provided by either a Marketplace Delivery Person or Merchant Managed Delivery Person) or the Non-Delivery Method experience (“Customer Feedback”). MyBite reserves the right to use, share, and display Customer Feedback in any manner in connection with the business of MyBite without attribution to or approval of Merchant. MyBite reserves the right to edit or remove comments in the event that such comments include obscenities or other objectionable content, include an individual’s name or other Personal Data, violate any privacy laws and regulations or other Applicable Laws, or violate MyBite’s content policies.
- Reporting
MyBite will provide Merchant with information regarding the number of Items sold by Merchant to its Customers. MyBite will also provide information to Merchant regarding any refunds given to its Customers by MyBite on Merchant’s behalf, including the date of the transaction, the Item(s) refunded, the reason for the refund, and any other information MyBite is permitted to provide under applicable privacy laws and regulations.
- Fees, Retail Price of Items, and Taxes
- Fees and Taxes.
- Fees. In consideration of the use of the MyBite Services, MyBite will charge Merchant a “Service Fee” for each specific Method as specifically set forth in the Order Form (together with the Activation Fee, the Subscription Fee, the Damage Fee, and any other applicable fees charged by MyBite to Merchant, the “Fees”).
- Payment Terms. All Fees under this Agreement will be paid in Canadian dollars. MyBite will deduct any Fees from the payment MyBite collects from the Customer on Merchant’s behalf, as detailed below.
iii. Costs and Expenses. Except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party will be responsible for its expenses and costs in connection with this Agreement.
- Taxes on Fees.
All Fees payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be exclusive of Sales Tax. The term “Sales Tax” includes any GST, HST, and/or similar provincial sales taxes.
If Sales Tax is applicable on any Fees, MyBite or its Affiliate will charge the Merchant for Sales Tax on Fees, and Merchant shall pay that amount of Sales Tax to MyBite or its Affiliate in addition to and at the same time as payment of the Fees.
- Retail Price of Items and Taxes.
- The MyBite Services connect you with Customers who wish to purchase your Items. You are the “merchant,” “retailer,” or “seller” of all Items to be made available for sale via the MyBite App. As such, you are responsible for determining and setting the retail price for each Item you make available for sale via the MyBite App prior to any discounts or promotions (the “Retail Price”), and you are ultimately responsible for the collection and remittance of all applicable Sales Tax, where required under Applicable Law. For the sake of clarity, the Retail Price for each Item excludes separately stated Sales Tax.
- Merchant hereby authorizes MyBite to collect applicable Sales Tax on Merchant’s behalf based on information (including, without limitation, rates and/or Item descriptions) provided by Merchant to MyBite through the MyBite Tools or in a manner as otherwise agreed to by the Parties. The MyBite Tools’ functionality may be based on interpretations of federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations and information provided by taxing authorities. Merchant’s use of the MyBite Tools, including any communications with MyBite, in no way constitutes the provision of legal or tax advice.
iii. While the MyBite Tools provide a means to apply Sales Tax to your transactions, the MyBite Tools may not currently support Sales Tax configurations applicable to certain Items which you desire to sell via the MyBite App. In such cases, MyBite retains sole discretion regarding whether you may offer such Items for sale via the MyBite App. MyBite may from time to time give Merchant notice of certain Items or Item categories that are not supported by the MyBite Tools and must be removed from the MyBite App (“Unsupported Items”). Merchant hereby agrees to comply with such notice, provided that if Merchant does not comply, Merchant shall be solely responsible for all risk of loss associated with the continued sale of such Unsupported Items. Merchant shall promptly notify MyBite if it believes any charges (or lack of charges) for Sales Tax were erroneous or inaccurate. If Sales Tax charged by Merchant is not in accordance with (or in violation of) any law or regulation, MyBite expressly reserves the right to, upon prior notice to Merchant, remove affected Items from Merchant’s menu on the MyBite App and/or deactivate Merchant from the MyBite App.
- Coupons. MyBite may make certain coupons (as defined under the Excise Tax Act and the Québec Sales Tax Act) available to Customers applicable to Items provided by Merchant and some or all associated fees and charges resulting from that transaction. You agree to accept such coupons as consideration payable for your supply of Items (including delivery services related to such Items, if using the Merchant Managed Delivery Method). In the case of a Reimbursable Coupon (i.e., a coupon entitling Customers to a reduction of a fixed dollar amount on the purchase price), you agree that (i) such Reimbursable Coupon will be treated as cash, and Sales Tax will be charged on the full price of the Items, and (ii) MyBite will reimburse you for the full fixed dollar amount of the Reimbursable Coupon. In the case of an Other Coupon, you agree that (i) such Other Coupon will reduce the selling price of the Items before Sales Tax is added, and (ii) no Sales Tax will apply to any amount reimbursed by MyBite in consideration of the acceptance of the Other Coupon as a form of payment as contemplated in this section. The same shall apply in respect of other provincial sales tax where similar coupon rules apply.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain legislation commonly known as “marketplace facilitator” laws (“Marketplace Facilitator Laws”) may require MyBite to collect and remit Sales Tax directly to the taxing authority. In jurisdictions with Marketplace Facilitator Laws in effect that are applicable to MyBite due to this Agreement (each a “Marketplace Facilitator Jurisdiction” beginning the effective date of such legislation), MyBite may determine, as of a date specified by MyBite (“Switchover Date(s)”), the amount of applicable Sales Tax that MyBite will collect and remit to the taxing authority based on Item descriptions and additional information provided by Merchant. For the avoidance of doubt, for each Marketplace Facilitator Jurisdiction: (i) MyBite will continue to collect Sales Tax on behalf of, and remit such amounts to, Merchant until the applicable Switchover Date and (ii) beginning on the applicable Switchover Date, any covered Sales Tax will be collected by MyBite and remitted to the applicable tax authority on MyBite’s own account, and not on behalf of Merchant. A list of jurisdictions in which MyBite will collect and remit Sales Tax to taxing authorities (and associated Switchover Dates)
- Invoices
Merchant grants a mandate to MyBite, pursuant to which, for each order completed using the MyBite App, MyBite may issue an invoice and/or receipt for Items (and in the Merchant Managed Delivery Method, delivery services) to Customers in Merchant’s name and on Merchant’s behalf provided that Merchant has completed the required Invoice Details. Merchant may dispute invoices and/or receipts issued by MyBite on Merchant’s behalf within a period not exceeding three (3) days from the issuance date of the invoice and/or receipt. Failing this, Merchant is deemed to have validated said invoice and/or receipt. It is understood that Merchant will carry out storing and archiving of invoices and/or receipts in compliance with Applicable Laws. In the province of Québec, Merchant is exclusively responsible for providing SRM compliant invoices to Customers for each order completed using the MyBite App, and Merchant agrees that MyBite may issue a transaction receipt (not a tax compliant invoice) for Items (and in the Merchant Managed Delivery Method, delivery services) to Customers in Merchant’s name and on Merchant’s behalf.
- Method Restrictions and Limitations
- Method Settings. If MyBite has selected both the Merchant Managed Delivery Method and the Marketplace Method, MyBite may select Merchant Managed Delivery Method and/or Marketplace Method for delivery of future orders of Items to its Customers. MyBite may apply its selections to some or all future orders. MyBite may modify its Method selection at any time. However, the selected Method for an order cannot be modified after the order has been placed. All orders pending at the time MyBite modifies its Method must be completed via the Method selected when the order was placed. The proper Method for each order will be reflected in MyBite’s order dashboard available via the MyBite Tools. MyBite may, at its discretion, modify delivery settings on Merchant’s behalf.
- Delivery Radius Modification. MyBite, at its discretion, reserves the right to modify Merchant’s delivery radius for reasons including, without limitation, to prevent or otherwise limit unfulfilled orders.
- Temporary Usage Restriction. MyBite, at its discretion, reserves the right to restrict or otherwise limit Merchant’s access to the MyBite App for a period of time for reasons including, without limitation, to prevent or otherwise limit unfulfilled orders.
- Transfer Restrictions. Merchant will not, via the MyBite App or MyBite Tools, offer for sale or transfer any of the things contained in the then current MyBite Prohibited Items List published online and amended from time to time. Merchant will not use the MyBite Tools to solicit or facilitate donations without the prior written agreement of MyBite, which MyBite may provide in its sole discretion. Merchant will not offer for sale or transfer any Items where doing so is illegal or not permitted under Applicable Law. MyBite has the right to revise the description of, or remove altogether, any prohibited Items listed on Merchant’s menu.
- Marks
Subject to this Agreement, each party hereby grants to the other party (and, in the case of MyBite, to its Affiliates) a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license during the Term to use such party’s respective Marks, on a royalty-free basis, in connection with the activities related to this Agreement. This license includes the right to reproduce, adapt, and represent (in connection with all or part of the activities related to this Agreement) the Marks for the entire world, using all means and media, and without any restriction of any kind as regards exploitation methods, the number of prints, dissemination, or utilization. All uses of a party’s Marks (owned or licensed, as applicable) by the other party will be in the form and format specified or approved by the party that owns (or is a licensee of, as applicable) such Marks. Other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither party will use the other party’s Marks without the prior, express, written consent of the other party. Any use or display of MyBite’s Marks by MyBite in connection with making Items available through the MyBite App in the ordinary course of business will not require any such prior, express, written consent. All goodwill related to the use of a party’s Marks by the other party will inure to the benefit of the party that owns (or is a licensee of, as applicable) such Marks. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither party will be deemed to grant the other party any license or rights under any intellectual property or other proprietary rights. All rights not granted are expressly reserved. Merchant agrees that it will not, and will ensure that Merchant Managed Delivery Persons do not, try to register or otherwise use and/or claim ownership in any of the MyBite Marks, alone or in combination with other letters, punctuation, words, symbols, and/or designs, or in any confusingly similar mark, name, or title, for any goods and services.
- Marketing and Promotional Activities
- Marketing. MyBite may showcase the availability of Merchant’s Items via the MyBite App through various promotional activities, including, without limitation, social media channels, websites, advertisements, blogs, or other media available now or hereinafter created. MyBite (or a party designated by MyBite acting on MyBite’s behalf) may create video, still images, and/or other materials for marketing and other efforts related to the MyBite App (“MyBite Marketing Materials”). Merchant agrees that MyBite Marketing Materials (including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights therein) are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of MyBite. Additionally, Merchant may choose to provide videos, still images, and/or other materials to MyBite (“Merchant Marketing Materials”) for use in connection with the display of Merchant’s Items on the MyBite App, and Merchant hereby grants MyBite a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up, and royalty-free right to use, reproduce, adapt, represent, and display such Merchant Marketing Materials in connection with Merchant’s Items and other promotional activities relating to the MyBite Services, for the entire world, during the Term, using all means and media, and without any restriction other than as required by Applicable Law as regards exploitation methods, the number of prints, dissemination, or utilization. MyBite agrees that the Merchant Marketing Materials shall remain Merchant’s sole and exclusive property. Without limiting anything in the Agreement, Merchant represents and warrants that the Merchant Marketing Materials do not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights. To the extent that the Merchant Marketing Materials contain any third-party materials, Merchant is solely responsible for and will secure any and all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary for MyBite to be able to use the Merchant Marketing Materials in accordance with this Section. Merchant agrees that MyBite or its Affiliates may remove Merchant Marketing Materials from the MyBite App(s) if MyBite or its Affiliates receive notice or otherwise reasonably believe that such Merchant Marketing Materials may infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
- No Additional Amounts. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that, through advertising and marketing, MyBite may seek to attract new merchants to MyBite Services and to increase existing users of the MyBite Services and MyBite App. Merchant acknowledges and agrees such advertising or marketing does not entitle Merchant to any additional monetary amounts beyond the amounts expressly stated in this Agreement.
- Merchant Promotional Offers. MyBite may authorize Merchant to use certain automated tools that allow Merchant to provide short-term promotional offers (“Offers”) to Customers through the MyBite App in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by MyBite, Merchant agrees that it is solely responsible for fulfilling and defining the Offers provided by Merchant to its Customers using MyBite’s proprietary, automated tools (“Offer Tools”) (subject to technical and functional limitations of the automated tools) or a Promotion Schedule (as defined below).
- Offer Tools. Subject to this Agreement and any other guidelines or eligibility criteria for Offers that MyBite may make available from time to time, MyBite hereby authorizes Merchant to use the Offer Tools to create and provide Offers to Customers. Unless otherwise specified by MyBite, Merchant will be solely responsible for defining each Offer (within the scope of functionality provided by the Offer Tools), including, without limitation, the start date, end date, and budget for each Offer. Alternatively, Merchant may create an Offer by completing and providing MyBite with a verbal or written promotion schedule (“Promotion Schedule”). If a verbal Promotion Schedule is provided to MyBite by Merchant, Merchant will have a specified time period to confirm such Promotion Schedule in writing prior to the Offer being offered. To request a form Promotion Schedule, Merchant should contact its customer support representative. Each Offer will be subject to MyBite’s prior written approval. Merchant may also be responsible for providing to MyBite Offer Materials in a format and within deadlines specified by MyBite for such to be reproduced for the provision of the Offer to Customers.
- Co-Funded Promotional Offers. From time to time, MyBite may agree to fund a portion of Merchant’s Offer (each, a “Co-Funded Offer”). For each such Co-Funded Offer, the parties shall agree on a written Promotion Schedule setting forth: (x) a description of the Co-Funded Offer; (y) the obligations of each party; and (z) any other details regarding the Co-Funded Offer. For the sake of clarity, such Co-Funded Offer shall appear to the Customer as a Merchant Offer, and MyBite shall issue an adjustment to Merchant’s Item Revenue to account for the amount of the Promotion that MyBite has agreed to fund.
iii. Enhanced Promotional Placements. Subject to MyBite App functionality, MyBite may provide enhanced promotional placement or other visual treatment for the Offers through the start and end date identified by Merchant. Merchant acknowledges that the time period of enhanced promotional placement for an Offer (if applicable) may vary due to a number of factors including Merchant’s budget, the start and end date for an Offer, and other MyBite App functionality.
- Merchant’s Responsibilities. Merchant will honor and fulfill the terms of the Offer. Merchant represents and warrants that Merchant will run all Offers in accordance with all Applicable Law which applies to the Offers. Merchant represents and warrants that Merchant possesses all necessary authority, rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to run each Offer (including, without limitation, the rights to any Offer Materials provided to MyBite). Merchant will not use an Offer to make charitable donations. For free or reduced “Delivery Fee” Offers, Merchant will be solely responsible for the reduction to the amount that MyBite collects from Customers with respect to the “Delivery Fee”.
- Reporting and Offer Costs. MyBite will use good faith efforts to provide Merchant with reasonable information regarding Merchant’s Offers, which may include, without limitation, the Offer Costs and the number of Items sold in connection with an Offer. MyBite, in its sole discretion, may highlight Offers and/or the results of Offer in its marketing materials.
- Service Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Customer successfully applies a Merchant Offer or Co-Funded Offer to an order through the MyBite App, the Service Fee shall be calculated based on the total Retail Price of the order minus the Merchant-funded portion of such Offer applied to that order. For the sake of illustrative purposes, if Merchant and MyBite each fund $1 of a $2 off Offer (so the Co-Funded Offer is funded 50% by each party) on a $10 pre-Offer order total, the Service Fee shall be calculated on the post-Offer amount of $9. If Merchant’s Offer consists of a discount on delivery, the Service Fee will be calculated as described in the Agreement and will not change. Merchant agrees that Merchant is solely responsible for Offer Costs, and that MyBite may deduct Offer Costs from Merchant’s Item Revenue. If Merchant is paid for an Item, it is responsible for the Service Fee and relevant Offer Costs.
vii. Modification, Suspension, Discontinuation. MyBite reserves the right, at any time, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, to modify, suspend
- Virtual Restaurants.
- Definition. A Merchant who currently offers Items via the MyBite App may, subject to MyBite’s prior approval, operate a Virtual Restaurant. All Virtual Restaurant Items are sold by Merchant.

- Merchant represents and warrants that Merchant will prepare and sell all Items from the Virtual Restaurant at Merchant’s restaurant premises.
- If this premises address changes, Merchant will provide MyBite with no less than seven (7) days’ advance written notice.
iii. The Virtual Restaurant trading name is Merchant’s Mark and is subject to the indemnification provision of the Agreement. Merchant represents and warrants that (A) the Virtual Restaurant trading name does not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights, and (B) it has the right to display the Virtual Restaurant trading name on the MyBite App. Merchant agrees that MyBite may remove the Virtual Restaurant from the MyBite App if MyBite reasonably believes that it may infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

- Confidential Information; Personal Data; Feedback.
- Definition. Each Recipient agrees that it will not disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to any third parties other than Representatives, or use it in any way other than as necessary to perform this Agreement. Each Recipient will ensure that Confidential Information will only be made available to those of its Representatives who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who, prior to any disclosure of such Confidential Information, are bound by written obligations of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information that are no less stringent than those set forth in this Agreement.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and as requested by the Discloser, each Recipient will deliver to the Discloser (or destroy at the Discloser’s election) any and all materials or documents containing the Discloser’s Confidential Information, together with all copies thereof in whatever form. Neither party makes any representation or warranty that Confidential Information is complete or accurate; all Confidential Information is provided “as is”.
- Privacy. Merchant agrees to use Personal Data provided to Merchant by MyBite solely for the purpose of providing Items to Customers under this Agreement. Merchant agrees to use Personal Data provided to Merchant by MyBite solely by using the MyBite Tools provided by MyBite and shall not copy, store, retain, remove from the MyBite Tools, or otherwise process the Personal Data. Only in the Merchant Managed Delivery Method, Merchant is permitted to copy Personal Data provided via the MyBite Tools and share it with its Merchant Managed Delivery Persons for the sole purpose of providing Items to Customers in accordance with this Agreement, and will be responsible for compliance with applicable data protection regulations as a data controller, or the responsible party, for such Personal Data as specified in clause 5(a) of the Merchant Managed Delivery Method Specific Terms. In respect of any Personal Data transferred by MyBite to Merchant, the parties agree that they shall enter into the Data Processing Agreement (controller to controller) in substantially the form attached at Addendum A, included as part of the Terms.

- Passwords. Merchant is responsible for maintaining the integrity of information related to Merchant’s access and use of the MyBite Tools and related MyBite Services, including any password, login, or key information. Merchant represents and warrants that Merchant will not share such information with any third party.
- Data Identification Restriction. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, including any provision in this clause, Merchant will not merge any of the data collected or otherwise obtained in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Personal Data, with other data collected from any source or otherwise use any of the data collected or otherwise obtained in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Personal Data, for the purpose of re-identification, targeted marketing, analytics, or any other similar purpose.
- Feedback. Merchant may, but is not obligated to, provide or otherwise make available to MyBite certain feedback, suggestions, comments, ideas, or other concepts relating to MyBite’s products and services (“Feedback”). However, to the extent that Merchant provides or otherwise makes available Feedback to MyBite, Merchant hereby grants to MyBite a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, adapt, represent, and otherwise exploit such Feedback, during the Term, using all means and media, and without any restriction of any kind with regard to exploitation methods, number of prints, dissemination, or utilization.

After the expiry or termination of this Agreement, Merchant acknowledges that it will no longer be able to access this MyBite Data. MyBite has access to MyBite Data via the MyBite Tools and may use it for the purposes described in MyBite’s Privacy Notice and for commercial purposes, unless expressly prohibited by this Agreement.

- Indemnification
- Indemnified Claims. MyBite and the Merchant (the “Indemnifying Party,” as the case may be) will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, causes of action, and losses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (collectively, “Losses”) with respect to any third-party claim arising out of or related to: (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or its employees or agents (in Merchant’s case, including Merchant Managed Delivery Persons but excluding MyBite to the extent it acts as Merchant’s agent) in their performance of this Agreement; (ii) any claims that, if true, would be a breach of any of the Indemnifying Party’s (in Merchant’s case, including via Merchant Managed Delivery Persons) representations, warranties, or covenants in this Agreement; and (iii) any claims that the Indemnifying Party’s Marks infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, as long as such Marks have been used in the manner approved by the Indemnifying Party.

With respect to the indemnities in (E) and (F) above, approval by MyBite of any Offer or use of any Offer Materials shall not affect this right of indemnification.
- Procedure. Each Indemnified Party will provide prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of any potential claim subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of the claim through counsel designated by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not settle or compromise any claim, or consent to the entry of any judgment, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
