Under no circumstance shall ICORE TECHNOLOGIES volunteer, disclose, or share to MERCHANT any personal information or sensitive personal information pertaining to ICORE TECHNOLOGIES users, and in no event shall ICORE TECHNOLOGIES process such personal information or sensitive personal information on behalf of MERCHANT. MERCHANT shall exert its own efforts in obtaining any necessary personal information or sensitive personal information from its customers who are ICORE TECHNOLOGIES users.
