If User believes there is or has been an unauthorized access of their account or Content resulting in the infringement of their intellectual property rights, User shall contact Allegro immediately.

Allegro will make commercially reasonable efforts, circumstances permitting, to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to such User and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Allegro IP and Content following any Service Suspension. Allegro shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Services as soon as reasonably practicable after the event giving rise to the Service suspension has been cured. Allegro may, in its sole discretion, completely and indefinitely bar any User from accessing or using the Services for any reason, indefinitely.

Proprietary Information of Allegro includes non-public information regarding features, functionality, and performance of the Services. Proprietary Information of User includes non-public data provided by User to Allegro or collected by Allegro to enable the provision of the Services (“User Data”). The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to take the same security precautions to protect against disclosure or unauthorized use of such Proprietary Information that the Party takes with its own proprietary information, but in no event will a Party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary Information, and (ii) not to use (except in performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein) or divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information. Allegro’s use of the Proprietary Information may include processing the Proprietary Information to send Customer alerts, such as when an individual or User accesses their Content. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public, or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (d) was independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Proprietary Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to contest such order. For clarity, Allegro may access, use, preserve and/or disclose User Data to government officials, and/or third parties, if legally required to do so or if Allegro has a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with a legal process or request; (b) enforce this Agreement, including investigation of any potential violation thereof; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property or safety of Allegro, its users, a third party, or the public as required or permitted by law, including respond to an emergency situation.

As between Allegro and User, User is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all User Data.

4.4
Aggregated Data. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Allegro shall have the right to collect and analyze data that does not refer to or identify User or any individuals or de-identifies such data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Services and related systems and technologies (including, without limitation, information concerning User Data and data derived therefrom). For the sake of clarity, Aggregated Data is compiled anonymous data which has been stripped of any personal identifying information. User acknowledges that Allegro will be compiling anonymized and/or aggregated data based on User Data input into the Services (the “Aggregated Data”). User hereby grants Allegro a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free right and license (during and after the term hereof) to use and distribute such Aggregated Data to improve and enhance the Services and for other marketing, development, diagnostic and corrective purposes, other Allegro offerings and crime prevention efforts.
