Privacy & Terms

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE & PRIVACY POLICY (THIS “AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY SERVICES (AS DEFINED BELOW) OFFERED BY DOUGHNOTE COLLECTIVE, INC. (“DoughNotes”, “WE” OR “US”) INCLUDING ANY OF OUR WEBSITES AND APPLICATIONS (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing and using any of the Services, you are hereby agreeing to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Use of and access to the Services is subject to the terms of this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations. Please read this Agreement carefully. By accessing, viewing or otherwise using this website or mobile application you, on behalf of yourself and all of your authorized representatives (collectively, the “User” or “you”) agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. User and DoughNotes are individually hereinafter referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

1. Update to Terms of Use. From time to time, DoughNotes may without advance notice: (a) supplement or make changes to this Agreement and other rules or access and use procedures, documentation, security procedures and standards for equipment related to the Services, (b) change the type and location of DoughNotes’s system equipment, facilities or software, or (c) modify or withdraw any Service or any DoughNotes database, material, service or system. Any updates to this Agreement shall be posted within the Service. User acknowledges User’s responsibility to review the Agreement’s terms and conditions from time to time and to be aware of any such changes.
2. Termination of Access to and Use of Services. DoughNotes reserves the right to terminate access to the Service or take other actions it reasonably believes necessary to comply with the law or to protect its rights or those of its Users. Any access or attempt to access or use a Service for any unauthorized or illegal purpose is strictly prohibited. DoughNotes reserves the right to exclude a User, in whole or in part, where it believes the activities of such User may be illegal, in violation of securities regulations, or otherwise pose a detrimental risk to DoughNotes or the Services. DoughNotes would make any such determination based on the relevant facts and circumstances at the time that they occur. For example, DoughNotes discourages Users from frequently submitting indications of interest and canceling them after a short time or otherwise entering indications of interest with intent to manipulate the price or trading volume of an auction. DoughNotes prohibits Users from submitting via the Services both bids and offers in the same auction. Once a User places a bid or offer, as the case may be, all subsequent activity in that auction must be placed on the same side of the market. DoughNotes also reserves the right to exclude a User engaging in conduct that may be otherwise detrimental to the operation of the Services, the reputation of DoughNotes or the interests or well-being of other Users. DoughNotes reserves the right to exclude a User from the Services, in whole or in part, if such User may have violated applicable contractual provisions, including any provision in this Agreement. DoughNotes reserves the right to disable any functionality of the Services, in whole or in part, if such functionality experiences technical issues or could otherwise pose a detrimental risk to users or DoughNotes.
3. Services. (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, DoughNotes grants User a limited, terminable, non sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive right to access and use the Services on a personal computer or mobile device that User owns or controls in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as permitted by the applicable terms of service of the mobile app store from where User downloaded any mobile application necessary to access the Services and the specific usage rules set forth therein. DoughNotes shall have no obligation to support User’s use of the Services in the event that: (i) User modifies the Service (or any component thereof) without DoughNotes’ prior written consent; (ii) any error is caused in whole or in part by persons other than DoughNotes, including without limitation, User’s failure to properly enter or transmit data; or (iii) any error is caused in whole or in part by User’s use of the Service in association with operating environments and platforms other than those specified by DoughNotes (b) To the extent that the Service incorporates any third-party software licensed by , then, in addition to the terms set forth herein, User must comply with any additional terms, restrictions, or limitations applicable to such thirdparty software. Additionally, User acknowledges that DoughNotes shall have the right to subcontract performance of its hosting services, credit card and payment processing services and other services, in which event the service levels provided by any third-party hosting provider (including, without limitation, any service levels that are stricter than the service levels offered by DoughNotes), credit card or payment processor or other service provider will be incorporated herein by reference. (c) User shall procure, install and maintain all equipment, data plans, Internet connections and other hardware (other than the hardware constituting the support center maintained at DoughNotes’s facilities) necessary for User to connect to and access the Service. DoughNotes is not responsible for equipment defects, lack of service, or other issues arising from third-party services or equipment. User is responsible for any applicable charges and fees associated with any data plan fees or other subscription charges or fees of any kind whatsoever that may be required by User’s carrier to access the Service.
4. User IDs. User will comply with all DoughNotes rules and regulations and security restrictions in connection with use of the Service. Each User will be assigned a unique User identification name and password for access to and use of the Service (“User ID”). User shall be solely responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of all User IDs. User acknowledges that it will be fully responsible for all liabilities incurred through use of any User ID and that any transactions under a User ID will be deemed to have been performed by User. Use of any User ID other than as provided in this Agreement shall be considered a breach of this Agreement by User.
5. Proprietary Rights. User acknowledges DoughNotes’s proprietary rights in the Service and associated documentation and shall protect the proprietary nature thereof. If User suggests any new features, functionality or performance for the Service that DoughNotes subsequently incorporates into the Service (or any other software or service), User hereby acknowledges that (i) DoughNotes shall own, and has all rights to use, such suggestions and the Service (or any other service) incorporating such new features, functionality, or performance shall be the sole and exclusive property of DoughNotes; and (ii) all such suggestions shall be free from any confidentiality restrictions that might otherwise be imposed upon DoughNotes. User shall not sell, lease, or otherwise transfer or distribute the Service or its associated documentation, in whole or in part, without prior authorization in writing from DoughNotes. In the event of any breach of this paragraph, User agrees that DoughNotes will suffer irreparable harm and shall therefore be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against User.
6. Conduct Within Public Areas of Site. The Service may contain e-mail services, bulletin board services, forums, communities or other message or communication facilities designed to enable Users to communicate and interact with other Users (the “Public Areas”). User agrees to use the Public Areas only to post, send and receive messages and materials that are proper and, when applicable, related to the particular Public Area. DoughNotes has no obligation to monitor the Public Areas, provided, however, DoughNotes reserves the right to review materials posted to the Public Areas and to remove any materials at any time, without notice, for any reason and in its sole discretion. DoughNotes reserves the right to terminate or suspend User’s access to any or all of the Public Areas at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever. User acknowledges that postings and other communications posted in the Public Areas by other Users are not controlled or endorsed by DoughNotes, and such communications shall not be considered reviewed, screened or approved by DoughNotes. Statements made in postings, forums, bulletin boards and other Public Areas reflect only the views of their respective authors. DoughNotes specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Public Areas and any actions resulting from a User’s participation in any Public Areas. User acknowledges and agrees that User’s communications with other Users via the Public Area or otherwise are public and not private communications, and that User has no expectation of privacy concerning User’s use of the Public Areas. User acknowledges that personal information that User communicates on the Public Areas may be seen and used by others and result in unsolicited communications; therefore, DOUGHNOTES STRONGLY ENCOURAGES USERS NOT TO DISCLOSE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THEMSELVES THROUGH THE PUBLIC AREAS. DoughNotes is not responsible for information that User chooses to communicate via the Public Areas, or for the actions of other Users. Further, User grants DoughNotes a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, in the promotion of DoughNotes or the Service, any content that User posts on or in connection with a Public Area, including, without limitation, the posting of such content on DoughNotes’s social media accounts.
7. User Information & Privacy; Data Retention and Collection. (a) User grants to DoughNotes a non-exclusive license to copy, use and display any and all personally identifiable data, information or communications sent, or entered by Users while accessing the Service (“User Information”) solely to the extent necessary for DoughNotes to provide the Services, including, without limitation, communicating with Users, responding to requests that User makes, to improve the Services and to better tailor the features, performance and support of the Services, and to offer User’s additional information, opportunities, and functionality. User agrees that DoughNotes may provide the User Information to third-party service providers who work on behalf of or with DoughNotes to provide some of the features of the Services (“Service Providers”) and to help DoughNotes communicate with you. However, these Service Providers do not have any independent right to share this User Information (except pursuant to a legal requirement such as a subpoena or warrant). User acknowledges that DoughNotes exercises no control whatsoever over the content of the User Information and it is the sole responsibility of User, at its own expense, to provide the information, and to ensure that the information Users transmit or receive complies with all applicable laws and regulations now in place or enacted in the future. DoughNotes is under no obligation, however, to review User Information for accuracy, potential liability or for any other reason. (b) User agrees that DoughNotes’s and any Service Provider’s obligation to keep or maintain any User Information obtained in the course of performance of the Service shall not extend beyond the expiration of thirty (30) days following the User’s ceasing use of the Service. DoughNotes will provide a copy of User Information in the hosted format (at User’s expense) provided that User requests such copy, in writing, within ten (10) days following the User ceasing to use the Service. (c) DoughNotes and any Service Providers shall have the right to utilize data capture, syndication and analysis tools, and other similar tools, to extract, compile, synthesize, and analyze any non-personally identifiable data or information (including, without limitation, User Information) resulting from User’s access and use of the Service (“Blind Data”). To the extent that any Blind Data is collected by DoughNotes or any Service Providers, such Blind Data shall be solely owned by DoughNotes or the Service Provider (as applicable) and may be used by DoughNotes or the Service Provider (as applicable) for any lawful business purpose without a duty of accounting to User, including, without limitation, providing User with the opportunity for User to benchmark itself against its peers, provided that the Blind Data is used only in an aggregated form, without specifically identifying the source of the Blind Data. Without assuming any obligations or liabilities of User, DoughNotes agrees to, and shall procure that any Service Providers agree to, use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the applicable U.S. laws and regulations respecting the dissemination and use such Blind Data. (d) As User navigates the Services, certain information may also be collected passively, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, mobile device and operating system. DoughNotes and any Service Providers may also use “Cookies” and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the information for which you searched and viewed. This type of information is collected to better understand how User’s use the Service and to make the Services more useful to you. Most browsers are automatically set to accept Cookies. If User would like more information about cookies and how to control and delete cookies in various browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome, please visit https://aboutcookies.org/.

(e) Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, DoughNotes does not trade, rent, or share User’s “Personal Information” (i.e., information about a User that is personally identifiable to the User, such as name, address, email address, phone number, social security number, employment details, answers to investor suitability questions and credit card and payment information) with third parties, unless the User asks or authorizes us to do so, provided, however, that DoughNotes may provide User Information and your Personal Information to Service Providers or to any third party as is required by law, rule or regulation applicable to DoughNotes, or by any court, governmental agency, commission, authority, regulatory body, board or similar entity or body having jurisdiction over DoughNotes that has requested the information in accordance with its lawful authority. However, these Service Providers do not have any independent right to share this information (except pursuant to a legal requirement such as a subpoena or warrant). (f) DoughNotes uses reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard Personal Information in DoughNotes’s possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification, provided, however, User acknowledges and agrees that no website, application or Internet transmission is completely secure. Accordingly, DoughNotes cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, and DoughNotes cannot be held liable for any unauthorized access or use of the User’s data. User’s use of the Services is at User’s own risk. (g) If DoughNotes or its assets are acquired by a third-party, that third-party will possess the User Information and Personal Information collected by DoughNotes and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding User Information and Personal Information as described in this Agreement. Additionally, DoughNotes may disclose User Information and Personal Information if DoughNotes believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; or (b) to protect and defend the rights or property of us, users of the Services or third parties. By using the Services, you hereby agree and consent to the transfer or assignment of your User Information and Personal Information as provided herein, and you further waive any claims that could be made against us in relation thereto. (h) DoughNotes offers you choices regarding the collection, use and sharing of your Personal Information. When you receive communications from us, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further communications from us and you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the email you receive or by contacting us directly (please see contact information below). You may change any of the Personal Information in your Service profile by editing your information in your profile.

1. Location Data. DoughNotes may collect, maintain, process and use a User’s location data, including the real time geographic location of a User’s mobile device as necessary to provide the Services’ full functionality. By using or activating any location-based services on a mobile device, User agrees and consents to DoughNotes’s collection, maintenance, publishing, processing and use of User’s location data to provide user with the Services. DoughNotes does not collect location data in a form that personally identifies Users. Users may withdraw this consent at any time by turning off the location-based feature on a mobile device or by not using any location-based features. Turning off or not using these features may impact the functionality of the Service. Location data provided by the Service is for basic navigational purposes only and is not intended to be relied upon in situations where precise location information is needed or where erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete location data may lead to death, personal injury, property or environmental damage. Use of real time route guidance is at the User’s sole risk. Location data may not be accurate. DoughNotes does not guaranty the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability or timeliness of information or location displayed by the Service.
2. Image Information. In order to comply with the requirements of our broker dealer and payment providers, our application may request that users either use their camera or upload an image of their ID for the purpose of verifying their identity. We understand the sensitive nature of this information and will take appropriate measures to protect it in accordance with our privacy policy.
3. User Restrictions. User agrees not to: (i) copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code, modify or create derivative works of the Service or any Service related documentation; (ii) upload or distribute in any way files that contain viruses, trojans, worms, time bombs, logic bombs, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of the Service or another’s computer; (iii) use the Service for illegal purposes; (iv) violate or attempt to violate the security of the Service and from using the Service to violate the security of other websites by any method; (v) access data not intended for User or log into a server or account which User is not authorized to access; (vi) interfere or disrupt networks connected to the Service; (vii) upload, post, promote or transmit through the Service any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature; (viii) upload amounts of data and/or materials in excess of any limits specified by DoughNotes from time to time and not to create large numbers of accounts or otherwise transmit large amounts of data so as to clog the Service or comprise a denial of service attack or otherwise so as to have a detrimental effect on the Services; or (ix) upload, promote, transmit or post any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offence or give rise to civil liability. DoughNotes may take whatever remedial action it determines in its sole discretion is appropriate if User violates these restrictions, including, but not limited to, immediate suspension or cancellation of the Service. DoughNotes operates the Service from its headquarters in the United States, and the Service is intended only for users within the United States. If User uses the Service outside of the United States, User is responsible for following applicable local laws and determining, among other things, whether User’s use of the Service violates any of those local laws.
4. Investment Opportunities. User acknowledges that the Service may, from time to time, provide a User with the opportunity to make an investment in the partial ownership of a collectible or a legal entity that owns collectible(s). Any such opportunity for a User to make any such investment shall, at all times, be made available only through a broker-dealer registered with FINRA and the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission and is subject to the qualification of the User as a qualified purchaser (as determined by the applicable securities laws of the United States, as amended from time to time) and further application, as determined by DoughNotes in its sole discretion. User acknowledges that it has no right to make any investment solely by downloading and/or otherwise accessing the Service. Furthermore, any User who invests in a legal entity that owns collectible(s) via the Service acknowledges that transfer of such ownership interests is restricted by federal and state securities law. As such, Users are prohibited from offering such ownership interests for sale via Public Areas. User acknowledges and understands that DoughNotes makes no recommendation with respect to the purchase of, or any investment decision made in respect of, any security, and is providing User with no investment advice whatsoever. User acknowledges that DoughNotes does not and will not provide User with any legal, tax, estate planning or accounting advice. Further, DoughNotes will not provide User with any advice regarding the suitability, profitability or appropriateness for User of any security, investment, or other matter. Unless otherwise specified in writing, I acknowledge that DoughNotes employees are not authorized to give any such advice, and I will neither solicit nor rely on any investment advice from any DoughNotes employee. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes an offer, or a solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell securities. User further acknowledges that DoughNotes neither assumes responsibility for nor guarantees the accuracy, currency, completeness or usefulness of information, commentary, recommendations, advice, investment ideas or other materials that may be accessed by User through Public Areas.
5. Electronic Disclosures & Transactions. Because DoughNotes operates only on the Internet or as a mobile application, it is necessary for Users to consent to transact business with DoughNotes electronically. As part of doing business with DoughNotes we also need Users to consent to DoughNotes giving a user certain disclosures electronically. By agreeing to this Agreement and use of the Service, User agrees to receive electronically all documents, communications, notices, contracts, and agreements arising from or relating to User’s use of the Service, including User’s registration as an investor through our Service (each, a “Disclosure”). Any Disclosures will be provided to User electronically through the Service or via electronic mail to the email address User provided. If User requires paper copies of such Disclosures, User may request a paper copy will be sent to you at a cost of up to $5.00 per document requested. DoughNotes may discontinue electronic provision of Disclosures at any time in DoughNotes’s sole discretion. User’s consent to receive Disclosures and transact business electronically, and DoughNotes’s agreement to do so, applies to any transactions to which such Disclosures relate. User’s consent will remain in effect for so long as you are a User and, if you are no longer a User, will continue until such a time as all Disclosures relevant to transactions that occurred while you were a User have been made.
6. Payment Processing. (a) DoughNotes, or a third-party partner, may process payment transactions on behalf of Users through the appropriate bank, credit card or debit card network, as applicable. When a User chooses to use the Service to make an investment in an collectible or a collectible holding company the User hereby consents to any third party escrow agent appointed by DoughNotes facilitating and/or processing payments made or received through the Service, including, without limitation, the consent to access, charge or debit a payor’s credit card, debit card, bank account or other payment mechanism. (b) Each User acknowledges and agrees that a payment transaction made through the Service is a transaction between Users wishing to invest in a collectible or a collectible holding company and those offering such investment and not with DoughNotes. DoughNotes is not a party to any payment transaction related to any such investment and DoughNotes is not a buyer or seller in connection with any such investment transaction. (c) Users may only use the Service to process a payment transaction for investment in a collectible or a collectible holding company through a legitimate, bona fide sale of such product or service. Users may not use the Service to purchase any illegal goods or services or for any other underlying illegal transaction. (d) Unless held in escrow in accordance with the terms governing an investment by the User, as agreed between the User and DoughNotes at the time of investment, all payment transactions processed through the Service are non-refundable to a User by DoughNotes and are non-reversible by a User through the Service. Users may have additional refund or charge-back rights under the agreement a User has with the issuer of the User’s payment instrument (i.e. its credit or debit card agreement or bank) or applicable state and federal laws. User should review its periodic statement received from the issuer of its payment instrument, which will reflect all purchase transactions through the Service.
7. DoughNotes Instant Cash Transfer. After you initiate a transfer of funds into your DoughNotes account, the standard ACH network processing time for those funds to become available for use is between 6 hours and 4 business days. However, DoughNotes offers Users the ability to access “Instant Cash,” a service that provides a cash advance for a set fee, which will automatically be added to the transfer from your linked bank account. For each transfer, you will have the opportunity to see the fee amount for Instant Transfer on the confirmation page. Funds transferred via “Instant Transfer” will be instantly available for use on the DoughNotes platform, even while the deposit is pending, except that such funds may not be used to invest in (1) any primary security offerings; or (2) any secondary market transactions on securities that were offered and subscribed to less than seven (7) days ago. DoughNotes may, at any time and in its sole discretion, deny any User’s ability to access the Instant Transfer service, and may terminate the Instant Transfer service at any time, without liability to any User. By choosing the option to transfer funds using Instant Transfer, you authorize DoughNotes to automatically collect the deposit once it is received from your bank account to cover the cash advance. If your deposit does not clear, whether for insufficient funds, or otherwise, we will send you a notice to initiate a new deposit to cover the unsettled deposit amount. DoughNotes, in its sole discretion, may close any open orders that were contingent on holding a positive balance, and additionally may close your account and sell any existing investments to cover the unsettled deposit. For clarity, DoughNotes’s Instant Transfer is included under the definition of “Services” and is covered by this Agreement.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. DOUGHNOTES MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY) WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY MERCHANTABILITY, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. DOUGHNOTES DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. USER ASSUMES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DAMAGES TO USER’S EQUIPMENT WHICH COULD BE CAUSED BY DEFECTS OR DEFICIENCIES IN ANY SERVICE, ANY DOUGHNOTES INFORMATION, PRODUCT, SERVICE, SYSTEM, DATABASE OR MATERIAL, OR PART THEREOF. USER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND DATABASES ARE SUBJECT TO ERRORS, TAMPERING AND BREAK-INS AND THAT WHILE DOUGHNOTES WILL IMPLEMENT REASONABLE SECURITY PRECAUTIONS TO ATTEMPT TO PREVENT SUCH OCCURRENCES, DOUGHNOTES DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT SUCH EVENTS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE. USER’S INSTALLATION AND INPUTS, AS WELL AS THIRD PARTY SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES, MAY INFLUENCE THE OUTPUT AND ERRORS IN ANY ORDER OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OR COMMUNICATION, AND CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL ERRORS IN OUTPUT, INCLUDING INCORRECT INFORMATION, ORDERS AND AGREEMENTS. IN ADDITION, ERRORS MAY BE INTRODUCED INTO INFORMATION OR ORDERS IN THE COURSE OF THEIR TRANSMISSION OVER ELECTRONIC NETWORKS. USER SHALL IMPLEMENT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR APPROPRIATE REVIEW AND CONFIRMATION PROCEDURES TO VERIFY AND CONFIRM ORDERS OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS IN WHICH USER PARTICIPATES USING DOUGHNOTES’ WEBSITE, INFORMATION, SERVICES, DATABASES, SYSTEMS OR OTHER MATERIAL.
9. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL DOUGHNOTES OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
10. Indemnification. By accessing this Service, User agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DoughNotes and its affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, advisors, independent contractors and providers (collectively referred to herein as “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses or demands of liability, including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim (including any third-party intellectual property claim) arising out of: (i) information, materials and content submitted, posted or transmitted by User on or through the Service, (ii) User’s use of the Service, and (iii) User’s breach of any provision of this Agreement. User further agrees that User will cooperate with DoughNotes as is reasonably required in the defense of any such claims. DoughNotes, on behalf of each Indemnified Party, reserves each Indemnified Part’s right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to User’s foregoing indemnification obligations, and User shall not, in any event, settle any claim or matter without the written consent of DoughNotes and each Indemnified Party named as a party in such claim.
11. Term; Termination (a) This Agreement shall commence upon DoughNotes providing User with access to the Service and shall continue until a Party provides notice of its termination of this Agreement. (b) Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason, User’s right to use the Service shall immediately cease.

User represents that it has, with each of its employees who may have access to any Confidential Information, an appropriate agreement sufficient to enable it to comply with all of the confidentiality terms hereof. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, User may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or court order, provided, however, that User provides to DoughNotes prior written notice of such disclosure and reasonable assistance in obtaining an order protecting the Confidential Information from public disclosure. (e) After termination or expiration of this Agreement, User shall return to DoughNotes any Confidential Information in User’s possession or control.
