To support the end-to-end user mobile contactless experience, if Participating Provider Properties are enabled for the hospitality use case, all Participating Provider’s payment systems accepting payment cards (credit/debit) at such properties will accept Apple Pay (including Apple Pay Cash, as described in the Apple Access Guidelines), unless an exception is pre-approved in writing by Apple.

For provisioning of Credentials, Participating Provider will authorize Access Partner to send data, including Access Partner Data in its possession or control, and any other necessary identifiers for Credentials issued by Participating Provider to Apple necessary to provision Credentials.

Participating Provider will support Users by ensuring that the level of service (both in quality and the types of transactions that can be supported) provided for Provisioned Credentials is at least on parity with the level of service provided to physical credentials and credentials offered by Non-Apple Access Services.

Participating Provider will be responsible for the management of the relationship with Users, including being responsible for: (i) the decision to approve or deny provisioning of Credentials to an Enabled Device; (ii) the right to decline the use of a Provisioned Credential to make Transactions (where technically possible to do so); (iii) the on-going management and operation of Accounts, including whether any Provisioned Credential, should be suspended or deactivated; and (iv) providing all Access Services to Users in connection with Provisioned Credentials.

3.    Information Security Breach.

Participating Provider shall promptly (or in any case within 48 hours) notify Apple if Participating Provider knows or has reason to believe there has been any misuse, compromise, loss, or unauthorized disclosure or acquisition of, or access to, Confidential Data (an “Information Security Breach”). Upon any discovery of an Information Security Breach, Participating Provider will investigate, remediate, and mitigate the effects of the Information Security Breach. To the extent the Information Security Breach relates to Apple’s Confidential Information, Participating Provider will reasonably cooperate with Apple in connection with each of the foregoing and will comply with any reasonable instructions provided by Apple in connection therewith.  Without limitation to the foregoing sentence, in the event that Apple reasonably determines that a third-party security assessment is recommended in connection with an Information Security Breach, Participating Provider will engage a third-party security assessor to conduct such an assessment. Participating Provider shall provide any information related to any such Information Security Breach requested by Apple, including but not limited to, vulnerabilities or flaws, start or end date, date of discovery, and specific actions taken to contain and/or mitigate. If any Information Security Breach occurs as a result of an act or omission of Participating Provider or Participating Provider’s Personnel, Participating Provider will, at Participating Provider’s sole expense, undertake remedial measures (including notice, credit monitoring services, fraud insurance and the establishment of a call center to respond to customer inquiries).

4.    Assistance.

Participating Provider shall provide Apple with reasonable assistance and support where there is a question in relation to a matter that is the responsibility of Apple in its capacity as a separate party, in (i) responding to an investigation or cooperation request by a data protection regulator or similar authority; (ii) providing notice of an Information Security Breach to any third party where required or requested by Apple; (iii) conducting legally required privacy, security, or data protection impact assessments; and (iv) consulting with the relevant authorities when required in relation to such impact assessments.

5.    Return or Destruction of Apple

Confidential Information.

Upon termination of Participating Provider’s participation in the Program for any reason, Participating Provider shall promptly contact Apple for instructions regarding the return, destruction, or other appropriate action with regard to Apple Confidential Information. Unless otherwise instructed by Apple upon termination Participating Provider’s participation in the Program for any reason, or at any time at the request of Apple, Participating Provider: (i) return all Apple Confidential Information to Apple including but not limited to all paper and electronic files, materials, documentation, notes, plans, drawings, and all copies thereof, and ensure that all electronic copies of such Apple Confidential Information are deleted from Participating Provider (and where applicable, its subcontractors’) systems; or (ii) if requested by Apple in writing, or remaining on Participating Provider systems following the return of Apple Confidential Information set forth above, promptly destroy all instances of Apple Confidential Information; and for the avoidance of doubt, Apple Confidential Information shall be destroyed in accordance with the Deletion Requirements including Apple Confidential Information on any media used for backup, disaster recovery, and/or business continuity purposes.  If requested by Apple, Participating Provider shall provide Apple with written confirmation of its compliance with the requirements of this section.

Participating Provider shall not engage any third party to perform any portion of the Services if such party may obtain or otherwise process Apple’s Confidential Information, without Apple’s prior written consent.
