All Work Product will be "Works Made for Hire" under Title 17 of the United States Code as it may be revised and amended from time to time and will be solely and exclusively owned by UWM. Vendor hereby irrevocably assigns and will cause Vendor Agents to irrevocably assign to UWM, without further consideration, all rights and titles to the Work Product. Vendor acknowledges that UWM and the assigns of UWM will have the right to obtain and hold in their own name the Work Product and Vendor agrees to execute any documents or take any other actions necessary to perfect UWM's ownership in the Work Product. Vendor agrees to indemnify, waive and release UWM against any third-party liens on the Work Product. Vendor will not embed any third party software or property in the Work Product without UWM's consent.
    2. License to Vendor Property: Vendor Property is excluded from the Work Product. As part of the consideration tendered by UWM to Vendor for any Purchase Order, Vendor grants to UWM a fully-paid, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, unlimited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to the Vendor Property to use, execute, perform, display, reproduce, transfer, modify, and create derivative work of such Vendor Property as part of or in connection with the Purchase Order. Except as set forth herein, all right, title and interest in Vendor Property remains with Vendor.
    3. Source Code Escrow: At no additional cost to UWM, Vendor agrees to establish a third-party escrow account and deposit any source code for the Software determined by UWM to be required. Vendor also agrees to name UWM as a beneficiary in its Software escrow agreement within thirty (30) days of the Start Date. The deposit account for the underlying Software escrow agreement will contain all of the components necessary for UWM's designee to recreate a live production environment, similar in form, performance and functionality to the Software being delivered by Vendor. To the extent that they exist, deposit account elements include but not limited to the Vendor's object code (application executable), access instructions to any third party utilities, a description of the hardware infrastructure as well as runtime build instructions and the beneficiary's data (according to the agreed upon recovery time/point objectives). The escrow agreement shall authorize the escrow agent to release the object code, the data and the source code and any other materials in the deposit account to UWM in the event of a Release Event, as defined below, and allow UWM to verify the accuracy and completeness of the deposit. In the event of any conflict between the escrow agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Furthermore, Vendor shall inform the escrow agent of the terms of this Section 10. The Parties agree that the escrow agreement identified in this Section should be considered supplementary to this Agreement, in accordance with the terms of 11 U.S.C Section 365(n).
    4. Release Event: If Vendor (a) is subject to voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy; (b) suffers a failure to do business in the ordinary course or function as an ongoing concern; (c) ceases to provide the Deliverables (or fails to appoint a third-party designee acceptable to UWM); (d) breaches this Agreement; or (e) meets any of the release conditions defined in the Software escrow agreement (each a "Release Event"), then Vendor or the escrow agent will provide to UWM within fourteen (14) days of UWM's request one (1) copy of the most current version of the source code for the Software and all necessary information to allow UWM to recompile, modify, maintain, and enhance the Software without the aid of Vendor. In order to ensure compliance with the foregoing, Vendor will promptly and continuously update and supplement the source code as necessary with all revisions, corrections, enhancements, and other changes that Vendor has developed for the Software. The governing license includes the right to use the source code version of the Software received under this Section as necessary to enhance, maintain, create derivative works, and otherwise modify the Software.
    5. Assistance in Enforcement: Vendor agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by UWM in the establishment, preservation and enforcement of UWM's copyright, trademark, trade secret, and any other proprietary interests in the Work Product, including executing documents, testifying, and all similar activity.
11. DAMAGES RELATING TO CLAIMS BETWEEN PARTIES.
    
    
    1. Neither Party will be liable for, nor will the measure of damages include, any Indirect Damages.
    2. The exclusion of Indirect Damages set forth in Section 11.1 will not apply to (i) liability resulting from the gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Vendor or its employees, consultants, subcontractors, agents and/or representatives; (ii) a breach of Vendor's confidentiality, data protection and security obligations by Vendor or its employees, consultants, subcontractors, agents and/or representatives; and (iii) Vendor's indemnification obligations. Under no circumstances shall UWM be liable for Indirect Damages.
    3. The following are direct damages and Vendor will not assert that they are Indirect Damages if they result from the breach of any terms of this Agreement:
       
       (a) costs and expenses of recreating or reloading any of UWM's lost, stolen or damaged information;
       
       (b) costs and expenses of implementing a work-around for Vendor's or Vendor Agents' failure to provide all or a portion of the Deliverables or any part of the Deliverables;
       
       (c) costs and expenses of replacing lost, stolen or damaged hardware, Software, and materials;
       
       (d) costs and expenses incurred by UWM to correct errors in Software, Software maintenance and enhancements to the Software;
       
       (e) costs and expenses incurred by UWM to obtain from an alternate Vendor or perform itself, all or any part of Deliverables the performance of which are Vendor's obligations, if it results in excess charges;
       
       (f) straight time, overtime or related expenses, including overhead allocations for UWM's employees, wages for additional employees, travel expenses, overtime expenses, telecommunications charges and similar charges, due to Vendor's failure to provide all or a portion of the Deliverables; and
       
       (g) costs and expenses of UWM obtaining credit monitoring services and identity theft protection services in the event of any unauthorized access, possession, disclosure, use, or other security breach involving UWM Data; and
       
       (h) fines, penalties, or other charges resulting from any of the above or any failure of the above.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
    
    
    1. Vendor Indemnity: Vendor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless UWM, its directors, members, officers, employees, affiliates, representatives and agents ("UWM Indemnified Party(ies)") from all Claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including actual, out-of-pocket reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, relating to:
       
       (a) the death or personal injury of third parties, including invitees or employees of the UWM Indemnified Party, in any way resulting from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Vendor or any of its employees, consultants, subcontractors, agents and/or representatives;
       
       (b) the damage or destruction of real or tangible personal property of the UWM Indemnified Party or third parties, including invitees or employees of the UWM Indemnified Party, in any way resulting from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Vendor or its employees, consultants, subcontractors, agents and/or representatives;
       
       (c) Deliverables, Software, data or any other items provided by Vendor to the UWM Indemnified Party under this Agreement infringing upon or misappropriating the proprietary rights of any third party (except as may have been caused by a change by the UWM Indemnified Party or use of such Deliverables, Software, data or programs without authorization or consent of Vendor);
       
       (d) Claims asserted by any employee or former employee of Vendor, attributable to any period while the employee was employed by Vendor and arising out of Vendor's employment of the employee, including Claims for (a) a violation of Law for persons of a protected class by Vendor, including unlawful discrimination, (b) any work-related injury or death caused by Vendor, except if the Claim can be covered by workers compensation coverage, (c) accrued employee benefits not expressly provided for by Vendor, (d) any representations, oral or written, made by Vendor to UWM's employees, and (e) any other aspect of the employees' employment relationship with Vendor or the termination of the employment relationship (including Claims for breach of an employment contract).
       
       (e) any of the following: (i) any liability of UWM arising out of Vendor's failure to comply with any relevant data protection or privacy Laws and regulations in any jurisdiction where Deliverables are being provided or which data is being transported/transmitted or UWM's failure to comply to the extent that such failure was caused by Vendor's negligent acts or omissions; (ii) Vendor's failure to implement physical or data security controls imposed by this Agreement; (iii) Vendor's failure to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 10, Ownership; and (iv) Vendor's breach of the terms of this Agreement.
    2. Indemnification Procedures:
       (a) If a Claim is commenced against a UWM Indemnified Party under this Agreement, written notice will be provided to Vendor as promptly as practicable by UWM Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve Vendor of its obligations under this Section 12, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices Vendor's defense of such claim. After notice, the Vendor will be entitled, but not obligated, at its discretion, to immediately take control of the defense and investigation of the Claim and employ attorneys of its sole choice to handle the Claim, at Vendor's sole expense. The UWM Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Vendor and its attorneys in the investigation and defense of the Claim and any potential appeal; provided, however, that the UWM Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, participate in the investigation and defense of the Claim and any potential appeal. No settlement of a Claim that involves a remedy other than the payment of money by the Vendor will be entered into without the written consent of the UWM Indemnified Party. After notice by the Vendor to the UWM Indemnified Party of its intent to assume full control of the defense of the Claim, the Vendor will not be liable to the UWM Indemnified Party for any legal expenses incurred directly by the UWM Indemnified Party.
       
       (b) If the Vendor does not assume full control over the Claim as described in this Agreement, the Vendor may participate in the defense, at its sole expense, and the UWM Indemnified Party may defend the Claim in an appropriate manner, at the expense of the Vendor.
    3. Survival: The provisions of this Section 12 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
13. INFRINGEMENT. If any Claim of infringement or misappropriation occurs, or if in UWM's and Vendor's jointly agreed opinion, any Software (other than UWM Software) is likely to become the subject of an infringement Claim, then UWM will do either of the following:
    
    
    1. Right to Continue Use (UWM): UWM will, at Vendor's request, attempt to continue to use the Software on reasonable commercial terms, with the terms to be agreed to by Vendor. If the right to continue use of the Software is obtained, then Vendor will reimburse UWM for the costs associated with obtaining the continued right to use the Software.
    2. Right to Continue Use (Vendor), Modification or Substitution: If Section 13.1 does not apply either due to UWM's failure to obtain the right to continue to use the Software after reasonably diligent efforts or Vendor's reasonable failure to agree to the terms of continued use, then Vendor will (in its discretion): (a) obtain the right for UWM to continue to use the Software; (b) modify the Software so that it does not infringe but remains equivalent; or (c) substitute equivalent, non-infringing items for the Software, or substitute non-infringing items for the Software without material loss of functionality.
14. INSURANCE. For and during the Term of this Agreement, Vendor will secure and maintain at its own expense insurance of the type and in the amounts set forth below:
    
    
    1. Workers' Compensation Insurance in accordance with all federal and state statutory requirements and Employer's Liability Insurance in an amount of not less than $500,000 per accident for bodily injury by accident and $500,000 per employee/aggregate for bodily injury by disease. Vendor and its underwriter will waive subrogation against UWM.
    2. Commercial General Liability Insurance in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a $2,000,000 aggregate limit covering bodily injury (including death), personal injury, property damage including, without limitation, all contractual liability for such injury or damage assumed by Vendor under this Agreement. This policy will cover liability arising from premises and operations, independent contractors, products/completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and blanket contractual liability.
    3. Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit covering bodily injury (including death) and property damage for all owned, hired and non-owned vehicles used by Vendor, including all statutory coverage for all jurisdictions of operation.
    4. Umbrella Liability Insurance with respect to Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Commercial Automobile Liability in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit.
    5. Blanket Crime Coverage including employee dishonesty covering liability against direct and verifiable losses of money, securities, products, equipment, material and other property of UWM caused by theft or forgery by identifiable employees of Vendor acting alone or in collusion with others, in an amount of not less than $1,000,000.
    6. Professional Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance appropriate to Vendor's profession. Coverage should be for a professional error, act or omission arising out of the scope of Deliverables set forth in this Agreement, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
    7. UWM, its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates will be named as additional insureds on the Commercial General Liability and Commercial Automobile Liability policies. All of the foregoing policies will be issued by insurance companies having an "A" rating by A.M. Best Company. These insurance provisions set forth the minimum amounts and scopes of coverage to be maintained by Vendor and are not to be construed in any way as a limitation or release of Vendor's liability under this Agreement or as a representation that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Vendor. Vendor will not self-insure any of its obligations under this Agreement without full disclosure to UWM of its intention to self-insure and without obtaining UWM's prior written consent. Any and all deductibles specified in the above-referenced insurance policies will be assumed by, for the account of, and at the sole risk of Vendor. All policies of insurance procured by Vendor will be written as primary policies, not contributing with, nor in excess of coverage carried by UWM.
    8. Upon request from UWM, Vendor will furnish Certificates of Insurance evidencing all of the foregoing insurance coverage. All of the above-described policies will provide that no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation, material modification, reduction in coverage or non-renewal will be provided to UWM. In the event that any Deliverables under this Agreement are to be rendered by persons other than the Vendor's own employees, Vendor will arrange for such persons to forward to UWM prior to commencement of Deliverables by them, Certificates of Insurance evidencing such amounts, in such form, and with such insurance companies as are satisfactory to UWM.
15. DATA PROTECTION AND SECURITY.
    
    
    1. Protection of UWM Data: UWM Data will remain the property of UWM. Vendor acknowledges that UWM maintains control over UWM Data and will follow UWM's instructions on the creation, processing, amendment and deletion of UWM Data. UWM Data will not be: (i) used by Vendor other than in providing the Deliverables; (ii) sold, assigned, or otherwise provided to third parties by Vendor; or (iii) commercially exploited by or on behalf of Vendor. In addition to the obligations otherwise stated in this Agreement, Vendor will protect and ensure that all Vendor Agents protect Consumer Information. Vendor will not provide Consumer Information in any form to any third party (including any Vendor Agent) without UWM's prior written consent and Vendor will remain fully responsible for any such disclosure. Vendor will, at its own expense, promptly correct all errors in and damage to UWM Data and the reports delivered to UWM if caused by Vendor or Vendor Agents.
    2. Data Security:
       
       (a) Safeguards: Vendor will maintain safeguards and take technical, physical and organizational precautions to ensure UWM Data against destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized access by or disclosure to third parties while in the possession or under the control of Vendor and Vendor Agents. The objective of each such precaution will be to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of Consumer Information, (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Consumer Information, and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Consumer Information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. These precautions will be consistent with UWM's corporate security practices, including the Information Security Policy and Standards, as updated from time to time. Vendor agrees to provide training in key Laws and regulations to all Vendor Agents whose duties pursuant to this Agreement could bring them in contact with Consumer Information. Vendor will provide training records, at UWM's request, that confirm to UWM that such Vendor Agents have been adequately trained in the subject Laws and regulations.
       
       (b) Unauthorized Access to UWM Data:
       (i) Detection and Response to Security Breaches: Vendor will maintain sufficient procedures to detect and respond to any unauthorized possession, disclosure, use, or other security breaches involving UWM Data.
       (ii) Notification of Unauthorized Access: Vendor will, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify UWM of any unauthorized or attempted possession, disclosure, use or knowledge of UWM Data when it becomes aware of it, including any material breach or potential material breach of security, on a system, LAN or telecommunications network which contains or processes UWM Data.
       (iii) Furnishing Details of Unauthorized Access: Vendor will, as soon as reasonably practicable, furnish to UWM full details of the unauthorized or attempted possession, disclosure, use or knowledge, and use reasonable efforts to assist UWM in investigating or preventing the recurrence of any unauthorized or attempted possession, use or knowledge, of UWM Data.
       (iv) Cooperation: Vendor will cooperate with UWM to correct any unauthorized possession, disclosure, use, or other security breaches, and in any litigation and investigation deemed necessary by UWM to protect UWM's proprietary rights.
       (v) Recurrence: Vendor will use all reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any unauthorized possession, use or knowledge of UWM Data.
       
       (c) Sites: In conjunction with UWM's audit rights set forth in Section 17, UWM Agents can access any Vendor site consistent with reasonable security provisions of Vendor and the following: (i) access to Vendor sites by UWM or UWM Agents may only be permitted with reasonable prior notice (specifying details of personnel who require access) during normal business hours and only to those Vendor sites where Deliverables are being provided; (ii) Vendor can deny access to UWM Agents (but not UWM), where in Vendor's opinion, UWM Agent is a competitor of Vendor; and (iii) access by UWM or UWM Agents must not adversely affect Vendor's performance of the Deliverables or Vendor's Deliverables to its other customers. Vendor will maintain data and physical security standards and procedures at each of the sites in which Deliverables are performed consistent with the Agreement.
16. CONFIDENTIALITY.
    
    
    1. Standard of Care: Each Party will protect all Confidential Information of the other Party with the same degree of care as it uses to avoid unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event, less than a reasonable degree of care. Further, Vendor agrees that it will protect Consumer Information in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.
    2. Restricted Disclosure: Each Party will not disclose, release, or otherwise make available to any third party, any Confidential Information of the other Party without the other Party's prior written consent. Further, Vendor agrees that it will not disclose, release, or otherwise make available to any third party, any Consumer Information without UWM's prior written consent. UWM and Vendor may disclose Confidential Information and Consumer Information of the other to UWM Agents and Vendor Agents, respectively, and each Party's accountants, attorneys, other agents, and its affiliates or subsidiaries (respectively, each Party's "Third Party Recipients") if reasonably necessary in performing its duties under this Agreement or, for UWM, its use and enjoyment of the Deliverables and the hardware and Software used to perform Deliverables, provided, however, that Vendor and UWM are each responsible for any violation of these confidentiality obligations by its Third Party Recipients and will ensure that these individuals or entities are aware of these confidentiality obligations.
    3. Confidential Information Exclusions: The obligations in this Section 16 will not restrict any disclosure of Confidential Information (except for Confidential Information that constitutes or reflects Consumer Information) by the Recipient from the Discloser where the Recipient can demonstrate that such Confidential Information is exempt from the obligations set forth in this Agreement based upon the following. The burden of proof that Confidential Information falls into any one of the following exemptions will be borne by the Party claiming such exemption:
       
       (a) the Confidential Information was independently developed by the Recipient without the use of the Discloser's Confidential Information and without breach of the Recipient's confidentiality obligations under this Agreement;
       
       (b) the Confidential Information becomes publicly known (other than through unauthorized disclosure by the Recipient or its employees, consultants, subcontractors, agents or representatives);
       
       (c) the Confidential Information was already known to the Recipient prior to receiving it without any obligation of confidentiality;
       
       (d) the Confidential Information was lawfully obtained or rightfully received by the Recipient without an obligation or duty of confidentiality from any third-party that has no duty or obligation of confidentiality to the Discloser with respect to such information;
       
       (e) the Recipient becomes legally compelled (including by oral questions, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information (in such case, the Recipient shall provide the Discloser with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the Discloser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement); or by demand of auditors, examiners or regulators having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Recipient; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, UWM may disclose Confidential Information to any governmental agency or regulatory body having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of UWM's business without providing notice to Vendor; or
       
       (f) Non-proprietary Know-How: Neither UWM nor Vendor will be prevented from using know-how experience gained of a non-proprietary and non-confidential nature.
    4. Return of Information:
       (a) Return of Confidential Information: When this Agreement expires or terminates, each Party will return to the other Party all Confidential Information of the other Party disclosed and all copies, or at the other Party's option, destroy the Confidential Information and provide to the other Party certificates evidencing the return or destruction. Despite anything else stated in the Agreement, if this Agreement terminates for any reason, UWM (i) may retain one (1) copy of Vendor's Confidential Information solely for archival, audit, disaster recovery, legal and/or regulatory purposes and (ii) UWM will not be required to search archived electronic back-up files of its computer systems for Vendor's Confidential Information in order to purge Vendor's Confidential Information from its archived files; provided, however, that UWM must (i) maintain its confidentiality under this Agreement as if it were still in effect, and (ii) not use the retained Vendor's Confidential Information for any purpose other than as permitted herein.
       
       (b) Return of Consumer Information: Vendor will implement and monitor procedures to comply with Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-159, 111 Stat. 1952), as amended from time to time, and implement procedures concerning the safeguarding and disposal of Consumer Information. Vendor will return Consumer Information to UWM or destroy it, as instructed by UWM. If UWM directs Vendor to destroy the records and files containing Consumer Information, all such paper records will be shredded and all such electronic or digital records and files will be erased, or otherwise rendered unreadable, in a way that prevents the records and files from being practicably read or reconstructed. Vendor will promptly confirm to UWM in writing as to the destruction of said records and files. Upon request, Vendor will provide UWM all information that UWM reasonably requests regarding the disposal of records and files containing Consumer Information, including, but not limited to, such portions of the Vendor's information security policies and procedures as Vendor can provide without compromising the security of Consumer Information. Vendor will cause its employees, consultants, subcontractors, agents and/or representatives to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Vendor accepts UWM's right to terminate the Deliverables immediately and with no indemnity by UWM if Vendor is found in violation of privacy or data protection Laws and/or the data protection and security obligations imposed by this Agreement.
       
       (c) Return of UWM Data: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall UWM Data be deleted, destroyed, or archived without UWM's express, prior written consent. Upon expiration, non-renewal, rescission or termination of this Agreement or any Purchase Order for any reason, and notwithstanding Sections 16.4(a) and 16.4(b), Vendor will return all UWM Data and copies thereof (or destroy upon request by UWM) in a format mutually agreed upon by the Parties at no additional charge. If the Parties cannot agree on a format for the extraction of all UWM Data, Vendor shall provide such extraction in the same format that UWM used to transfer such UWM Data to Vendor.
    5. Survival: The provisions of this Section 16 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
17. ACCESS AND AUDIT PROCEDURE. Vendor will provide UWM, UWM Agents, independent auditors, examiners, regulators and inspectors with access to, and any assistance and information that they need about the Deliverables, Software, and sites to enable UWM, UWM Agents, auditors, examiners, regulators and inspectors to: (i) examine all records and materials of Vendor and Vendor's Agents about the Deliverables; (ii) inspect Vendor's and Vendor's Agents premises; (iii) verify the security of UWM Data; (iv) examine the systems that process and store UWM Data; and (v) examine Vendor's performance of the Deliverables to enable UWM to confirm Vendor's compliance with the Agreement and the Law. At UWM's request, Vendor will furnish UWM, UWM Agents, auditors, examiners, regulators and inspectors with (x) an inventory of all Vendor's internal and external audit reports about the Deliverables, (y) the rating of each audit report, and (z) the rating schedule applicable to each audit report. Furthermore, Vendor will promptly notify UWM in writing of all material changes to Vendor's control environment or changes to or breaches of Vendor's security policies. Vendor will preserve for a period of six (6) years after the completion or termination of Deliverables under this Agreement all documents related to the Deliverables hereunder which will be made available to UWM at UWM's request. Further, Licensor shall timely and comprehensively respond to UWM’s periodic vendor assessments.
18. DISPUTES. The parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably: (i) submit to the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court for the County of Oakland, Michigan, or if original jurisdiction can be established to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, City of Detroit, Michigan (the "Courts"), in any action arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement; (ii) agree that all claims and any action may decided in either of the Courts; and (iii) waive to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, the defenses of: (a) lack of subject matter jurisdiction of such Courts; (b) the absence of personal jurisdiction by such Courts over the parties hereto; and (c) forum non-conveniens. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction the parties are or may be subject by suit upon such judgment.
19. FORCE MAJEURE. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, UWM may deploy its own resources or contract for other assistance as necessary to cover for Vendor's failure, and UWM may reduce or eliminate Vendor's remaining work obligations in any manner. The occurrence of a Force Majeure Event does not limit Vendor's obligation to provide either normal recovery procedures or any disaster recovery services as defined in this Agreement to the extent practicable. The Party delayed by a Force Majeure Event will, as soon as practicable, notify the other Party by telephone (to be confirmed in a written notice within five (5) days of the inception of delay as a result of the Force Majeure Event) of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event. If any Force Majeure Event results in a failure to perform Deliverables which lasts for more than seven (7) days, UWM may, upon notice to Vendor cease payment of the Charges for the affected Deliverables (other than those already accrued and due under the Agreement) until the recovery from the Force Majeure Event has been completed and procure the affected Deliverables from an alternate source; or terminate the affected portion of the Deliverables as of a date specified by UWM.
20. SUBCONTRACTS AND ASSIGNMENT. Vendor will not assign, in whole or part, any of its obligations under this Agreement without UWM's written consent. Vendor will not subcontract any portion of its performance obligations under this Agreement without UWM's prior written approval. UWM's approval with respect to any subcontracting will not relieve Vendor of its responsibility for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, representations and warranties, indemnification, data protection and security, and confidentiality obligations. Vendor is responsible for all payments to, and Claims by, Vendor subcontractors relating to performance or nonperformance under this Agreement and Vendor will ensure that Vendor subcontractors comply with this Agreement.
21. BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY. In addition to what is otherwise in this Agreement, Vendor is responsible for the following minimum requirements for which Vendor will not charge UWM any additional charges. Vendor will (i) develop and continually update Vendor's business continuity and disaster recovery plans and submit such plans to UWM for its approval; (ii) participate in the testing and certification of Vendor's business continuity or disaster recovery plans then in effect upon UWM's request and at least once every twelve (12) months during the Term; (iii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a business interruption or a disaster affecting the Deliverables, provide UWM with written notice and implement Vendor's business continuity or disaster recovery plan, as applicable; (iv) use best efforts to reinstate the Deliverables as soon as practicable but in any event within any period of time set out in any agreement between Vendor and UWM; and (v) upon UWM's request, certify the business continuity and disaster recovery plans then in effect.
22. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the state of Michigan, without regard to its conflicts of Law rules.
23. MISCELLANEOUS.
    
    
    1. Remedies: No remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy will be cumulative and will be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
    2. No Waiver: No delay or omission by either Party to exercise any right or power it has under this Agreement will impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power. A waiver by any Party of any breach or covenant will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant. All waivers must be signed by the Party waiving the rights.
    3. Amendments/Modifications: No amendment to, or change, waiver or discharge of, any provision of this Agreement will be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each of the Parties.
    4. Headings: The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.
    5. Survival: Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not release either Party from its respective obligations hereunder with regard to (a) confidentiality, data protection and security, (b) indemnification, (c) Deliverables already delivered or performed, including, without limitation, obligations of payment, warranty, and representations, and (d) any other provisions that would by their nature survive this Agreement will so survive. Notwithstanding any expiration of these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will continue to remain in full force and effect for all outstanding Purchase Orders until such time as all of such Purchase Orders expire, are completed or terminated pursuant to the Purchase Order or these Terms and Conditions.
