Fair usage limits apply to the number of accounts with Third-Party Services that Customer manages via the Services.

Unless stated otherwise on an Order, Users must be employees, consultants, contractors or agents of the specific Customer entity identified on the Order.

Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised access to the Services or Supplier Data and will use security measures consistent with best industry standards to safeguard any Supplier Data downloaded to Customer’s systems.

If Customer elects to use its own identity provider system (“IdP”) to authenticate its Users, Customer will periodically review and ensure proper security of such IdP at Customer’s expense. If Customer grants Supplier access to Customer Data via any web portal or other non-public websites or extranet services on Customer’s or a third party’s website or system, Customer is responsible for information security governance in connection with such access, including the management of user accounts and access rights.
