California Consumer Privacy Act
- TorchX’s CCPA Obligations
(a) TorchX will only collect, use, retain, or disclose personal information of California consumers for the Contracted Business Purposes for which you provide personal information or permit personal information access in accordance with your instructions. “Contracted Business Purposes” means the services and/or products described in this Agreement for which TorchX receives or accesses personal information. Any terms defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 to 1798.199), and any related regulations or guidance provided by the California Attorney General (“CCPA”), including “personal information” and “business purposes” carry the same meaning in this Section [1].
(b) TorchX will not collect, use, retain, disclose, sell, or otherwise make personal information of California consumers available for TorchX’s own commercial purposes or in a way that does not comply with the CCPA. If a law requires TorchX to disclose personal information of a California consumer for a purpose unrelated to the Contracted Business Purpose, TorchX will first inform you of the legal requirement and give you an opportunity to object or challenge the requirement, unless the law prohibits such notice.
(c) TorchX will limit collection, use, retention, and disclosure of personal information of California consumers to activities reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the Contracted Business Purposes or another compatible operational purpose.
(d) TorchX will promptly comply with any request or instruction from you requiring the [Service Provider] to provide, amend, transfer, or delete the personal information of California consumers, or to stop, mitigate, or remedy any unauthorized processing.
(e) If the Contracted Business Purposes require the collection of personal information from California consumers on your behalf, the [Service Provider] will provide a CCPA-compliant notice addressing use and collection methods.
(f) If the CCPA permits, TorchX may aggregate, deidentify, or anonymize personal information of California consumers so it no longer meets the personal information definition, and may use such aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data for its own research and development purposes. The [Service Provider] will not attempt to or actually re-identify any previously aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data and will contractually prohibit downstream data recipients from attempting to or actually re-identifying such data.
- Assistance with Your CCPA Obligations
(a) TorchX will reasonably cooperate and assist you with meeting the your CCPA compliance obligations and responding to CCPA-related inquiries, including providing a template privacy policy for any website hosted by TorchX on your behalf, responding to verifiable consumer requests, taking into account the nature of the TorchX’s processing and the information available to TorchX. TorchX’s provision of a template privacy policy does not constitute and is not a substitute for legal advice.
(b) TorchX will notify you immediately if it receives any complaint, notice, or communication that directly or indirectly relates either party’s compliance with the CCPA related to the Contracted Business Purposes. Specifically TorchX will notify you within 15 working days if it receives a verifiable consumer request under the CCPA.
- No Subcontracting. TorchX will not use a subcontractor to provide the Contracted Business Services.
- CCPA Warranties
(a) Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the CCPA when collecting, using, retaining, or disclosing personal information of California consumers.
(c) Service Provider warrants that it has no reason to believe any CCPA requirements or restrictions prevent it from providing any of the Contracted Business Purposes or otherwise performing under this Agreement. The [Service Provider] will promptly notify you of any changes to the CCPA’s requirements that may adversely affect its performance under the Agreement.
Indemnification
- YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS TORCHX, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OTHER CONTRACTORS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS (“TORCHX INDEMNITEES”) FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LAWSUITS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, FINES, COSTS, OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, REASONABLE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL AND COURT COSTS), JUDGMENTS, SETTLEMENTS, AND PENALTIES OF EVERY KIND (“LOSSES”) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY YOU AND ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY YOU RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE PRODUCT.

- YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (OR ANY ANALOGOUS LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE), WHICH READS AS FOLLOWS: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF TORCHX AND its affiliates AND suppliers (including any of its or their partners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, AND assignees) TO YOU EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID OR PAYABLE TO TORCHX BY YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND (B) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). THIS LIMITATION ON THE AMOUNT OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY WHETHER A CLAIM OR LIABILITY ARISES in contract, equity, tort, or otherwise (including breach of warranty, negligence, and strict liability in tort), AND EVEN IF TORCHX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIM OR LIABILITY. THIS LIMITATION SHALL SPECIFICALLY SURVIVE A FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDIES THAT MAY BE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
