5. Data Providers; Subcontractors

5.1. Data Providers. Certain information on the Site or in the Financial Services has been provided by third-party data providers (“Data Providers” and such information, “Third Party Content”). Third Party Content is protected by copyright and is owned or licensed by the Providers. iCapital has not been involved in the preparation, adoption or editing of Third Party Content, does not explicitly or implicitly endorse or approve such content, and does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such content. We are not responsible or liable to you or any third party for the content or accuracy of any Third Party Content. Any reliance you place on such content is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such content by you, or by anyone who may be informed of any of such content. Data Providers do not implicitly or explicitly endorse or approve such content, nor should such content be considered investment advice or advocacy for the purchase or sale of any security or other investment decision.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree (i) to waive any claim against iCapital Parties and the Data Providers arising out of or related to the Third Party Content, (ii) that you have no direct contractual privity with any Data Provider, and (iii) that you will treat all such information and data provided by a Data Provider as confidential, and not disclose any such data to any third party, and if received in connection with the Financial Services, as Confidential Information of iCapital.

5.2. Subcontractors. iCapital may subcontract (whether under an existing or new contract between iCapital and a third party) any part of the Site or Financial Services provided hereunder, including the development, operation and maintenance of the Site and the collection, retention, and processing of User Data.

6. iCapital Proprietary Information

6.1. Definition. Each party may make available to the other party information that is identified as or should reasonably be understood by the receiving party to be, proprietary or confidential (the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information specifically includes, without limitation, these Terms, the Financial Services, Order(s), all information obtained from the Site or provided to you or any Authorized User by a representative of iCapital, including business plans and strategies, trading or investment strategies, methodologies and results, risk management models, and pricing and other financial information, technology (including without limitation, source code, algorithms, processes, technical data and documentation, product plans, research, software, and other confidential intellectual property), trade secrets and other non-public information of iCapital’s business affairs, clients, investors and personnel, and know-how, and other financial information that is confidential in nature. Confidential Information may not be shared by you or any Authorized User with any other party or used for any purpose unless permitted herein. For the avoidance of doubt, as part of our Financial Services, we share User Data (including personal information) with third-party organizations that are providing a common or related financial service directly to you. User Data shall not, unless otherwise required by law, be considered Confidential Information. Confidential Information will not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without violation of these Terms by either party; (ii) is obtained by the receiving party from a source other than the disclosing party without obligation of confidentiality, including to either party; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the other party’s Confidential Data; or (iv) is aggregated data.

6.2. Obligations. During and after your use of the Site, the party receiving Confidential Information will use the Confidential Information of the disclosing party solely for the purpose for which it is provided. Each party will treat the other party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of protection as it would treat its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not share iCapital’s Confidential Information with any other party or use it for any purpose other than the evaluation of the merits of an investment opportunity listed on the Site, except that you may share Confidential Information obtained from the Site with your Authorized User or legal, tax or other professional advisor, in each case, if such third party has a need to know basis to know such Confidential Information, has been notified of the confidential nature of the information, and agrees to maintain the confidentiality thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing confidentiality requirements, the receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required by law or order of a court or other governmental authority, provided it uses commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the disclosing party prior to such disclosure so that the disclosing party has the opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the receiving party need not provide notice in connection with disclosure of Confidential Information if disclosed to governmental or regulatory authorities (including bank examiners and self-regulatory organizations) or internal or external auditors, in each case upon their request therefor, pursuant to a regulatory review of the receiving party or its representatives that is not specifically related to the disclosing party or the Confidential Information. iCapital reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable laws, statutes, regulations, regulatory requirements, legal processes or governmental requests (“Applicable Law”), or to edit or remove any information or materials on the Site, in whole or in part, in iCapital’s sole discretion.

6.3. Confidentiality Period; Remedies. The confidentiality obligations will survive the termination of these Terms. In the event of a breach of this section, the disclosing party will be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law. You acknowledge that iCapital will be irreparably harmed if the confidentiality obligations hereunder are not specifically enforced and that iCapital would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of an actual or threatened violation by you of your confidentiality obligations hereunder. Therefore, you agree and consent that, except in the context of permitted disclosures as described herein, iCapital shall be entitled to seek an injunction or any appropriate decree of specific performance for any actual or threatened violation or breaches by you, without the posting of any bond, and such other relief as may be just and proper, including the right to recover all losses or damages suffered by iCapital resulting from any such breach or threatened breach.

10.1. Disclaimer. None of the information contained in the Site constitutes a recommendation, solicitation or offer by iCapital or its affiliates to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments or provide any investment advice or service. The information contained in the Site has been prepared without reference to any particular individual’s investment requirements or financial situation. The information and Financial Services provided on the Site are not provided to and may not be used by any person or entity in any jurisdiction where the provision or use thereof would be contrary to Applicable Law of any governmental authority or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or clearing organization or where iCapital is not authorized to provide such information or services. Some products and services described in the Site will not be made available in all jurisdictions and to all potential users.

10.2. Private Securities. You understand that we may make available information about securities that are exempt from registration under the Advisers Act and/or the 33 Act and you agree you will not (i) solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell or make available interests or shares in any security (a) in any manner which would be inconsistent with Applicable Law, or with the procedures for solicitations contemplated in the confidential offering memorandum of that applicable security or (b) by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television, radio, website (excluding the Site and in such case only in accordance with the terms hereof) or by seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitations or advertising, or (ii) take any other action that would cause the sale of interests or shares in any applicable security to fail to qualify for the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the 33 Act or the Advisers Act.

11. Marketing Rule

This section is intended to address U.S. regulatory requirements applicable to “advertisements,” as defined in Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-1 (the “Marketing Rule”).  The Marketing Rule sets forth, among other things, certain content standards and disclosure requirements applicable to the marketing of private funds (which includes third-party testimonials and endorsements) advised by SEC-registered investment advisers.  Certain of iCapital’s affiliates advise private funds that appear on the Site, including “access funds” that typically exist for the purpose of investing in third-party managed funds. Private funds advised by third parties, including GP Users, also appear on the Site.

You understand that the Site contains information regarding iCapital’s and other third parties’ services and activities, including with respect to private funds, which may constitute an “advertisement” as defined under the Marketing Rule. Unless and only to the extent otherwise permitted under any other Supplemental Terms, your access to the Sites is not intended to permit you to engage in, and you are not authorized to and shall not engage in (nor are you authorized to, nor shall you, direct or otherwise permit any third party to engage in), any communication which is or contains an “advertisement,” “endorsement,” or “testimonial” (as each such term is defined under the Marketing Rule) of iCapital, any GP User, or any fund listed on the iCapital platform, and you shall not use any information or materials obtained from or in connection with any Site for such purposes.

In any event and notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent you are an “investment adviser” as defined in the Marketing Rule, all of your activities, including, without limitation, those in connection with your use of any Site, shall be in accordance with all aspects of the Marketing Rule applicable to or in respect of such activities, iCapital, any GP User, or any fund listed on the iCapital platform.

You understand that, as a result of the relationship between iCapital and other Users that provide Financial Services (including, specifically, GP Users), (i) iCapital is financially compensated for such arrangements through payment of, as applicable, management, servicing or similar fees (which are calculated as described in documents pertaining to securities offerings of iCapital or the GP Users and their affiliates) and, if applicable, certain fees for placement of investors in the securities offered by iCapital or GP Users and their affiliates (which are typically calculated as a percentage of an investor’s aggregate commitment to the offered securities), and (ii) the existence of such compensation may create conflicts of interest whereby, for example, iCapital may (a) be more inclined (x) to establish access funds for investment in securities sponsored or managed by the GP Users and their affiliates than for investment in securities sponsored or managed by other fund managers and (y) to establish access funds upon terms and conditions more favorable to the GP Users and their affiliates than iCapital would otherwise agree to in the absence of such compensation; (b) be more inclined to make positive statements about the GP Users and their affiliates in order to encourage investors to make a larger commitment to the securities offered by GP Users and their affiliates, thereby increasing the fees paid to iCapital; or (c) to vote or exercise consent rights, if any, in respect of interests in underlying securities held by access funds in a manner more favorable to such GP Users.

All notices and communications with respect to these Terms shall be sent to iCapital at the following: iCapital Network, Inc., ATTN: LEGAL, 60 East 42nd Street, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10165.

19. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION OF THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHTS TO TRY CLAIMS IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM OR ACTION.

19.1. Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution. If either party has a Claim (as defined below), the parties agree to make a good faith effort to resolve it informally prior to initiating a formal arbitration proceeding. The party that intends to initiate an arbitration proceeding must first send a notice to the other party that describes the Claim. The notice must include the initiating party’s name and contact information (address, telephone number, and email address) and a detailed description of (1) the nature and basis of the Claim and (2) the nature and basis of the relief sought, with a detailed calculation. Your notice shall be sent by mail to iCapital Network, Inc., ATTN: LEGAL, 60 East 42nd Street, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10165 or by email to: legalnotices@icapitalnetwork.com. You must personally sign the notice. Our notice to you shall be sent to the most recent contact information we have on file for you. If requested by the party that receives the notice, the other party must personally participate in a telephone settlement conference (if a party is represented by counsel, counsel may also participate) to discuss the Claim. If the Claim is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice (which period can be extended by agreement of you and us), either party may commence an arbitration proceeding consistent with the process set forth below. Compliance with and completing this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing a demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines for a formal arbitration proceeding shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is at issue, it may be decided by a court at either party’s election, and any arbitration proceeding shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration.

19.2. Agreement to Arbitrate. If the parties are unable to resolve a Claim through the mandatory informal dispute resolution process, the parties agree that, except as set forth below, all Claims between you and us will be resolved entirely through the binding individual arbitration process set forth in this section. For purposes of this section, “iCapital,” “we,” “our,” and “us” include iCapital and its employees, officers, directors, parents, agents, controlling persons, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, acquired entities, successors, and assigns.

19.3. Claims. “Claims” subject to this section include all of the following: (1) claims relating to or arising out of these Terms or any prior or later versions of these Terms, as well as any changes to these Terms; (2) claims relating to or arising out of any aspect of any relationship between you and us; (3) claims relating to or arising out of your access of, use of, or any transactions through, by, or using the Site or Financial Services; and (4) claims relating to the interpretation, scope, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms or this section except as set forth in the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution provision above, and the Public Injunctive Relief Waiver and the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration provisions below. Except as provided above and below, as applicable, (1) claims are subject to arbitration whether they are based in contract, tort, federal or state statute, constitution, regulation, or any other legal theory, or whether they seek legal or equitable remedies; (2) all claims are subject to arbitration whether they arose in the past, may currently exist, or may arise in the future; and (3) claims include claims or disputes that arose before the parties entered into these Terms or after termination of these Terms.

19.4. Claims Not Covered By Arbitration. Claims filed by you or by us in a small claims court are not subject to arbitration, so long as the dispute remains in such court and advances only an individual claim for relief. Claims filed by you or us in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights and claims filed by us in court to enjoin any actual or threatened violation or breaches by you of your confidentiality obligations hereunder are also not subject to arbitration. The “Class and Representative Action Waiver” and “Public Injunctive Relief Waiver” provisions set forth additional claims not subject to arbitration.

19.5. Commencing an Arbitration. Except as set forth in the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration provision, unless the parties agree in writing to select a different arbitration administrator, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as follows: under AAA’s Commercial Rules for commercial disputes and under AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules for consumers with non-commercial disputes, except as modified by this section. AAA’s rules may be obtained from www.adr.org or 1-800-778-7879 (toll-free). If AAA is for any reason unable to serve and the parties are unable to agree on an alternative arbitration administrator, then a court of competent jurisdiction shall appoint an arbitration administrator. To commence an arbitration proceeding, you or iCapital must send a personally signed demand for arbitration that describes (1) the nature and basis of the Claim(s), and (2) the nature and basis of the relief sought, including a detailed calculation, along with a certification that you or we are party to this section and completed the informal dispute resolution process referenced above. Your notice shall be sent to: legalnotices@icapitalnetwork.com or iCapital Network, Inc., ATTN: LEGAL, 60 East 42nd Street, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10165. Our notice shall be sent to the most recent contact information we have on file for you. You or iCapital must also contact AAA or chosen arbitration administrator and follow its appropriate procedures to commence the arbitration.

19.6. Arbitration Procedure. Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration shall be decided by a single, neutral arbitrator, who shall be a retired judge or a lawyer with at least ten years of experience, selected in accordance with the chosen arbitration administrator’s rules. The arbitrator will decide the Claim or Claims in accordance with the terms of these Terms and applicable substantive law, including the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), and applicable statutes of limitation. The arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Except as provided in the “Public Injunctive Relief Waiver” provision below, the arbitrator may award damages or other relief (including injunctive relief) available to the individual claimant under Applicable Law.

The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect proprietary or confidential information. Any arbitration hearing shall take place in the county in which you reside, unless the parties agree in writing to a different location or the arbitrator so orders. If all Claims are for $10,000 or less, you or we, as the case may be, may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing in accordance with the arbitration administrator’s rules. You and an iCapital representative shall personally appear (with counsel if you and we are represented) at an initial telephone conference with a case manager before an arbitrator is appointed and at a hearing should one be scheduled by the arbitrator.

At your or our request, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding except that any party may appeal any award relating to a Claim for more than $100,000 or for injunctive relief to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the arbitration administrator, which will reconsider de novo any aspect of the appealed award. The panel’s decision will be final and binding. In either event, you or we may seek to have the award vacated or confirmed and entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

19.7. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the applicable AAA rules as set forth above or, if a different arbitration administrator is selected, its rules. If you are a consumer with a non-commercial dispute, we will pay any filing, administration, or arbitrator fees the arbitration administrator requires you to pay if, in a writing signed by you: (1) you claim to be unable to afford it; and (2) you demonstrate that you sought, but were unable to obtain, a waiver of that fee from the arbitration administrator. To the extent allowed by Applicable Law and our agreements, the arbitrator may award arbitration costs and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party.

19.8. Jury Waiver and Limitation of Rights. You and we agree that, by agreeing to arbitrate any Claims, the parties are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or a trial before a judge in court (except for matters that may be taken to a court pursuant to this section). You and we acknowledge that arbitration will limit our legal rights, including the right to participate in a class action, the right to a jury trial, the right to conduct full discovery, and the right to appeal.

19.9. Class Action and Representative Action Waiver. You and we agree that each may bring Claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless mutually agreed to in writing by you and us, the claims of two or more persons may not be joined, consolidated, or otherwise brought together in the same arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no authority to conduct any class, private attorney general or other representative proceeding. This provision does not apply to requests for public injunctive relief, which are addressed in the Public Injunctive Relief Waiver provision below.

19.10. Public Injunctive Relief Waiver. Neither you nor we will have the right to seek public injunctive relief as a remedy for any Claim against one another (a “Public Injunctive Relief Request”) in arbitration, if such a waiver is permitted by the FAA. If such a waiver is deemed unenforceable, you and we agree that the Public Injunctive Relief Request shall be severed from any other Claims and/or remedies you have. The Public Injunctive Relief Request must be adjudicated by a court after all your other Claims to be decided in arbitration under this section are resolved in arbitration. The validity, enforceability, and effect of this provision shall be determined exclusively by a court, and not by any arbitration administrator or arbitrator.

19.11. Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims of consumers with non-commercial disputes are asserted against iCapital by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated (and your Claim is one such claim), you understand and agree that the resolution of your Claim might be delayed. You also agree to the following process and application of the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule and Supplementary Rules.

Counsel for the claimants and counsel for iCapital shall each select fifteen (15) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of the initial bellwether process.

If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial thirty (30) proceedings, the parties shall participate in a global mediation session before a retired judge, and iCapital shall pay the mediator’s fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining matters in mediation at this time, each side shall select twenty (20) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. (If there are fewer than forty (40) claims remaining, all shall proceed.) The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of this staged process.

If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the forty (40) proceedings, the parties shall participate in another global mediation session before a retired judge, and iCapital shall pay the mediator’s fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining matters in mediation at this time, this staged process shall continue with one hundred (100) cases proceeding at one time that are selected randomly or by the AAA in staged sets, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. Between staged sets of proceedings, iCapital agrees to participate in a global mediation session should your counsel request it in an effort to resolve all remaining claims.

A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for Claims subject to this provision from the time the first cases are selected for the initial bellwether process until the time your case is selected, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this paragraph by enjoining the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against iCapital. Should a court of competent jurisdiction decline to enjoin this provision, you and we agree that your and our counsel shall engage in good faith discussions with the assistance of an arbitrator to devise and implement procedures that ensure that arbitration remains efficient and cost-effective for all parties. Either party may engage with the AAA to address reductions in arbitration fees.

19.12. Governing Law. Notwithstanding any other section in these Terms to the contrary, you and we agree that you and we are participating in transactions that involve interstate commerce and that this section and any resulting arbitration are governed by the FAA. Notwithstanding any section in these Terms to the contrary, to the extent state law applies, the laws of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles shall apply. No state statute pertaining to arbitration shall apply.

19.13. Severability. Notwithstanding any section in these Terms to the contrary, if any provision of this section, except for the Class Action and Representative Action Waiver provision above, is deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this section. However, if the Class Action and Representative Action Waiver provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, then this entire section shall be deemed invalid and unenforceable.

20. Miscellaneous

iCapital reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to the Site and a Financial Service or any portion thereof at any time, without notice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in New York in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Site.  Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including without limitation, this section.

Headings used in these Terms are for reference purposes only. Unless otherwise stated, if any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to Applicable Law, such provision shall be deemed deleted from these Terms, but such deletion shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision in these Terms. Those terms that by their nature are intended to survive any expiration or termination of the Terms, including but not limited to confidentiality and indemnification obligations, shall so survive. These Terms, as applicable, constitute the entire agreement between you and iCapital with respect to the Site and Financial Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and iCapital with respect to the Site and Financial Services.

LAST UPDATED: August 16, 2023

This Data Protection Addendum (“DPA”) amends, and forms part of, the iCapital Terms of Service between iCapital, acting on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, in the name and on behalf of its affiliates, and the applicable entity who transmits Personal Data subject to Data Protection Law (as those terms are defined below) to or through the Services (“Financial Professional”). iCapital and Financial Professional are collectively referred to as the “Parties” and each a “Party.”

Financial Professional and iCapital hereby agree to comply with this DPA, including the cross-border transfer terms herein.

1. Definitions

“Financial Professional Party Data” means personal data related to Financial Professional Authorized Users.

“Affiliate” of a Party means any entity that directly or indirectly now or hereafter controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that Party.

“Data Protection Law” means, as and to the extent they apply to that Party, any applicable laws and regulations in relation to the privacy or processing of personal data relating to identifiable individuals that restrict the transfer of Personal Data to third countries, including but not limited to as may be applicable, as updated, amended, or replaced from time to time: (a) the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”); (b) equivalent requirements in the United Kingdom including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 (“UK Data Protection Law”), (c) the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”); and (d) other national laws implementing, revising or replacing the GDPR, each as updated, amended or replaced from time to time.

“Personal Data” means information processed in furtherance of the Services that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.

“Investors” are those persons or entities that meet the following qualifications: (i) certain investors in accordance with legal requirement in various jurisdictions, (iii) a person with the requisite skill and expertise to adequately assess the risks of investing in the types of products offered through the Services, and (iv) such other suitability requirements as are mutually agreed to by the Parties.

“Restricted Transfer” means: (i) where the GDPR applies, a transfer of Personal Data from the EEA to a country outside of the EEA which is not subject to an adequacy determination by the European Commission; (ii) where the UK GDPR applies, a transfer of Personal Data from the UK to any other country which has not received an adequacy decision from the competent UK authority  (iii) where the FADP applies, a transfer of Personal Data to a country outside of Switzerland which has not received an adequacy decision from the competent Swiss authority.

The terms “Data Controller,” “Data Processor,” “Data Subject,” “process,” “processing,” and “transfer” shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable Data Protection Laws.

Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the iCapital Terms of Service

2. Scope and Roles and Responsibilities

2.1. Scope of Personal Data Processed. The Parties acknowledge that, in order to perform the Services, each Party may make certain Personal Data available to the other Party. The relationship of the Parties with respect to such Personal Data is set forth herein.

2.2. Financial Professional Party Data. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Financial Professional Party Data Financial Professional may make available to iCapital contains Personal Data relating to Financial Professional’s employees, agents, and contractors who use, or otherwise are involved in, fund management related to the Services (collectively, the “Financial Professional Authorized Users”). Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) iCapital processes Financial Professional Party Data in furtherance of the Services, and (ii) iCapital independently determines the purposes and means of any processing of Financial Professional Party Data that is required to provide the Services. Therefore, each Party further acknowledges and agrees that iCapital is an independent data controller with respect to any and all Financial Professional Party Data that it collects, transfers, or otherwise processes pursuant to the Services.

2.3. Investor Personal Data. The Parties acknowledge and agree that iCapital is the Data Controller of Personal Data related to Investors (“Investor Personal Data”). The Parties acknowledge that Investors may contact Financial Professional about the Services. In such circumstances, Financial Professional acts as a Data Processor of such Investor Personal Data on behalf of iCapital, and shall process such Investor Personal Data in accordance with the obligations set forth in Section 3.2 herein.

2.4. Other. To the extent the Parties process Personal Data in furtherance of the Services other than in the circumstances set forth above, the Parties shall act as independent Data Controllers.

3. Compliance; Party Obligations

Each Party shall be individually and separately responsible for complying with its obligations that apply to it (whether as a Data Controller or Data Processor) pursuant to Data Protection Law.

3.1. Data Controller. Where a Party acts as a Data Controller of Personal Data processed under the iCapital Terms of Service, it shall:

(a) limit the collection, transfer, and processing of Personal Data to what is reasonably necessary to provide or receive the Services, as applicable, or as otherwise agreed to, in writing, by the Parties;

(b) ensure that it has an appropriate legal basis for the collection, transfer, and processing of Personal Data; and

(c) in the case of Financial Professional Party Data and if required by an applicable Data Protection Law, obtain the necessary consent from the relevant Financial Professional Authorized User for such collection, transfer, and processing.

3.2. Financial Professional Acting as a Data Processor. Where Financial Professional acts as a Data Processor of Investor Personal Data, it shall:

(a) process Investor Personal Data solely: (i) to fulfill its obligations to iCapital under the Services, including this DPA; (ii) on iCapital’s behalf; and (iii) in compliance with Data Protection Law;

(b) ensure that the persons it authorizes to process the Investor Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;

(c) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist iCapital by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, including but not limited to facilitation by support staff to ensure that iCapital may at any time respond to request(s) from data subjects exercising their rights under Data Protection Law. Any such data subject request received by Financial Professional will be referred to iCapital promptly;

(d) provide reasonable assistance to and cooperation with iCapital for iCapital’s consultation with regulatory authorities in relation to the processing or proposed processing of Investor Personal Data, and promptly notify iCapital of (i) any third-party complaints regarding the processing of Investor Personal Data; or (ii) any government requests for access to or information about Financial Professional’s processing of Investor Personal Data on iCapital’s behalf, unless prohibited by Data Protection Law. Financial Professional will provide iCapital with reasonable cooperation and assistance in relation to any such request. If Financial Professional is prohibited by applicable Data Protection Law from disclosing the details of a government request to iCapital, Financial Professional shall inform iCapital that it can no longer comply with iCapital’s instructions under this DPA without providing more details and await iCapital’s further instructions. Financial Professional shall use all reasonable and available legal mechanisms to challenge any demands for data access through national security process that it receives, as well as any non-disclosure provisions attached thereto;

(e) provide reasonable assistance to and cooperation with iCapital for iCapital’s performance of a data protection impact assessment of processing or proposed processing of Investor Personal Data, when required by applicable Data Protection Law, and at iCapital’s reasonable expense; and

(f) promptly notify iCapital if it determines that (i) it can no longer meet its obligations under this DPA or applicable Data Protection Law; or (ii) in its opinion, an instruction from iCapital infringes applicable Data Protection Law.

3.3. Non-U.S. Investor Privacy Notice. Where Financial Professional transfers Investor Personal Data to iCapital for iCapital to process as a Data Controller, Financial Professional shall provide the Investor with the Non-U.S. Investor Privacy Notice attached hereto as Exhibit B.

4.1. Controls. Each Party shall implement and maintain appropriate technical, physical, and administrative security controls to protect and safeguard the Personal Data under its control against accidental, unauthorized or unlawful access, use, disclosure, loss, destruction, or damage.

4.2. Notification. With respect to Personal Data for which the Parties act as independent Data Controllers, each Party shall be independently responsible for notifying data subjects and regulatory authorities of a data breach affecting the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of Personal Data (“Personal Data Breach”) within its custody and control, or within the custody and control of a processor, provided that each Party shall provide commercially reasonable assistance to the other in order to facilitate the data breach notifications described in this paragraph.

4.3. Financial Professional Notifications. With respect to Personal Data for which Financial Professional acts as a Processor to iCapital, Financial Professional shall notify iCapital without undue delay (and in call cases within 48 hours) of any Personal Data Breach of Financial Professional Authorized User Personal Data or Investor Personal Data in its custody or control (or within the custody and control of a subprocessor) and will assist iCapital with its Personal Data Breach-related obligations, including without limitation, by:

(i) taking commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of the Personal Data Breach and reduce the risk to Financial Professional Authorized User Personal Data and/or Investors whose Personal Data was involved; and

(ii) providing iCapital with the following information, to the extent known:

5. Mutual Assistance; Records of Processing

Each Party shall provide commercially reasonable assistance to the other Party to assist the other Party to comply with privacy requests, data protection impact assessments, and consultations with regulatory and supervisory authorities with respect to Personal Data. Each Party shall, to the extent required by applicable Data Protection Law, maintain complete and accurate records of its processing activities. Each Party shall provide the other Party with contact details of at least one employee who will serve as the point of contact and responsible manager for all issues arising out of the processing of Personal Data.

6. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Each Party shall protect all Personal Data it receives from a third country in a manner no less stringent than required by applicable law of the country in which the Personal Data originated. To the extent Personal Data originates in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK via a Restricted Transfer, the Parties shall comply with the following:

6.1. European Transfers. In the event Financial Professional exports to iCapital any Personal Data from the EEA, the Parties shall comply with the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 for the transfer of personal data to Third Countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (“EU Standard Contractual Clauses”), which are hereby incorporated into, and form an integral part of, this DPA, subject to the following: (i) the EU Standard Contractual Clauses shall be governed by the Module One clauses (Transfer controller to controller) or, in the case of Investor Personal Data, the Module Four clauses (Transfer processor controller), and Financial Professional shall be the data exporter and iCapital shall be the data importer; (ii) Clause 7 (Optional – Docking Clause) of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses shall be deemed incorporated herein and applicable to the Parties and third parties; (iii) for purposes of Clause 11 (Redress) of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the Parties agree that the optional wording shall not be incorporated therein; (iv) for purposes of Clause 13 of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Supervision), the competent supervisory authority shall be the Irish Data Protection Authority; (v) for purposes of Clause 17 (Governing law) of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the Parties agree that the EU Standard Contractual Clauses shall be governed by the law of Ireland and Clause 17, “Option 1” shall apply accordingly; (vi) for purposes of Clause 18 (Choice of forum and jurisdiction) of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the Parties agree that any dispute arising from the EU Standard Contractual Clauses shall be resolved by the Courts of Ireland, and Clause 18(b) shall apply accordingly; (vii) Annex A-I of Exhibit A of this DPA shall be incorporated into Annex I of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses; and (viii) Annex A-II of Exhibit A of this DPA shall be incorporated into Annex II of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

In the event Financial Professional exports to iCapital any Personal Data from Switzerland, the Parties shall comply with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as set forth in Section 6.1 herein, subject to the following: (i) references to “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” or “that Regulation” in the EU Standard Contractual Clauses are to be understood as references to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP); (ii) references to specific Article(s) of “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” are to be understood as references to the equivalent Article or provision of the Swiss FADP; (iii) the term “member state” in the EU Standard Contractual Clauses shall not be interpreted in such a manner as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from enforcing their rights in Switzerland, in accordance with Clause 18(c), provided Switzerland is their habitual residence; (iv) the “competent supervisory authority” under Part C of Annex II of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses is the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner; (v) the applicable law for contractual claims under Clause 17 in the EU Standard Contractual Clauses is Swiss law; and (vi) in relation to Clause 18(a), any disputes arising from the EU Standard Contractual Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of Switzerland.

6.3. UK Transfers. In the event Financial Professional exports to iCapital any Personal Data from the United Kingdom, the Parties shall comply with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as updated and amended by the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (B.1.0) issued by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office under S119A(1) Data Protection Act 2018, in force 21 March 2022 (“UK Addendum”), provided that the UK Addendum shall be supplemented and completed, as appropriate, with the data processing descriptions and Party responsibilities, clause options, and similar criteria set forth in Section 6.1 herein and the annexes attached hereto. For the purposes of supplementing and completing the UK Addendum, the Parties agree that any dispensation with the adopted format shall not adversely affect the appropriateness of the safeguards provided therein. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to UK data transfers, in the event of a conflict between the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum, the terms and hierarchy set forth in the UK Addendum shall supersede and control with respect to such UK data transfers only. In the event that the version of the UK Addendum incorporated by this DPA is subsequently varied, revoked or otherwise replaced in circumstances where iCapital expects to incur consequential increases in costs or risk and provided that iCapital has undertaken reasonable efforts to mitigate any such increases, then iCapital may terminate its agreement with Financial Professional, upon providing reasonable notice of the same to Financial Professional in writing.

6.4. Onward Transfers. iCapital shall not transfer such Personal Data from the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom to any Third Country, except to the extent such transfer is in accordance with an applicable Data Protection Law.
