Five. - Representations and Warranties
Client hereby acknowledges and accepts that:
Additionally, Client hereby expressly represents and warrants YOOHOO that:
Six. - Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, under no circumstances whatsoever shall YOOHOO be liable to the Client or any third party, for any liability, direct or indirect damages (including but not limited to loss of sales, business or data), losses (including but not limited to future, special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential losses), costs (including but not limited to all legal costs) or expenses incurred by the Client or third parties whether in action based on contract, tort, strict liability or any other cause for action, arising from or in connection with:
YOOHOO shall not be liable for any damage and/or loss sustained by the Client and/or any third party that is not directly and exclusively attributable to YOOHOO, provided such damages materially affect the standard of the Services to be provided under this Agreement and do not fall within the aforesaid circumstances.
The Client shall be responsible for implementing any security measures required, to obtain regular and current back-up copies of any relevant or sensitive information managed through or stored in computerized systems, including any loss of information resulting from a breach of this duty.
In the event YOOHOO suspects Client's activity could be in breach of this Terms & Conditions, any applicable law or could result fraudulent, illicit, unauthorized, unethical or inappropriate, YOOHOO shall be entitled to take appropriate measures to prevent such harm, which can result in Client's temporary account deactivation or termination of this agreement, provided that YOOHOO shall incur no liability whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, YOOHOO hereby reserves the right to notify any events that may be illegal to any governmental or judicial authorities, without prior notice to the Client.
The Parties hereby agree that, unless otherwise limited within this Terms and Conditions, the maximum amount of damages and losses that may become payable by YOOHOO, as a result of execution of this Agreement, shall be limited to the amount effectively paid by the Client over the month where such improper and/or non-provision occurred. If YOOHOO’s liability is due to failure to publish a single advertisement or distribute any advertising insert, unless within the aforesaid circumstances, shall be limited to a refund of any proportional amount paid by Client for such advertisement.
Seven. - Data protection
Both parties acknowledge and guarantee compliance with the current and applicable Data Protection Laws, as well as the provisions issued by the Supervisory Authorities.
YOOHOO shall implement, with respect to all the personal data processed, appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, always in accordance with the state of the art and the costs of implementation.
The Client must always avoid the insertion of personal data in the Platform. Client understands that YOOHOO can only provide the service by automatically showing the specific information that the Client incorporates into the Ads, so for YOOHOO to individually review it in each Ad would entail a technically disproportionate effort.
If, eventually, the Client includes third parties' personal data in an Ad (such as a specific address, instead of a postal code or a geographical area) it will do so under its sole responsibility, and, therefore, the Client must have previously obtained any legal basis to transfer such personal information to YOOHOO. In such a scenario, both the personal data owner and the Client will keep YOOHOO harmless and free from any liability in this regard. Every hypothetical processing of personal data by YOOHOO will always be incidental and linked to an unnecessary incorporation of personal data to our Platform, assuming, once again, a technically disproportionate effort to review this circumstance in every Ad. YOOHOO would then act as a new Data Controller, because YOOHOO would decide, ultimately, on which specific Websites of the group and to which end users this specific advertisement with personal data is displayed.
YOOHOO may use this information, always anonymized, or aggregated, to improve the service or statistical analysis.
When the Client receives personal data from users through the communications that are managed on the Platform:

Eight. - Privacy policy
In accordance with the Data Protection regulations, we will process personal data collected for the provision of the Services according to our Privacy Policy.
Nine. – Confidentiality
The Client undertakes, expressly and indefinitely, a duty of confidentiality in relation to all information and/or documents, regardless of their kind, potentially given by YOOHOO, verbally, in writing or by any other means or support, tangible or intangible, in relation with its activities and commercial or financial relationships or of any other kind, or any of its Affiliates or Partners.
For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information will include, without limitation:
(i) YOOHOO’s content, including any original copies, samples, codes, drawings, records, user manuals, files or plans, affairs, deals, inventions, finances, business contacts, know-how, projects, methodology, designs, trade secrets, technology, Intellectual and/or Industrial Property Rights, list of Clients, information relating to campaigns, operations, research, business plans, or market research conducted by or on behalf of YOOHOO and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries (ii) this Agreement, including any project and/or additional agreement of any kind directly and/or indirectly related to this Agreement negotiated at any time through any method and/or form.
The Client hereby expressly agrees that it shall not make any disclosure to third parties, for whatever reason and through any method and/or form, or public communication without YOOHOO's prior express written consent. To this end, the Client will take all reasonable measures which are deemed necessary in order to safeguard the Confidential Information and prevent it from falling into public domain or into possession of third parties. Client hereby undertakes to:
YOOHOO shall treat with due diligence and reserve information shared by the Client to set and manage its account. For the avoidance of doubt, Client's Confidential Information shall not include Ads content, which was duly authorized to be published or disclosed.
The duty of Confidentiality set forth herein shall survive indefinitely even after the termination of this Agreement.
