Customer acknowledges and agrees that, by hosting the E-Verify Data, GHRR is not assuming responsibility for Customer’s compliance with legal or regulatory record or data retention requirements. See, e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1324a Note. GHRR expressly disclaims any liability for any fines or penalties assessed by a governmental agency, or for any damages flowing therefrom, by virtue of any alleged failure to comply with such record or data retention requirements. GHRR RECOMMENDS CUSTOMER MAINTAINS AN ARCHIVAL COPY OF E-VERIFY DATA ON A SERVER WITHIN ITS OWN POSSESSION, CUSTODY AND CONTROL.

Customer understands and acknowledges that (i) GHRR does not retain E-Verify Data or associated documents on Customer’s behalf for any period of time; (ii) should Customer desire to maintain its own archival copy of E-Verify Data and related documents, that it must download them as they are received or created; and (iii) a technology fee will be charged to the Customer, should it request a period mass export of archival E-Verify Data. Customer is not eligible for a mass export if it has an outstanding, past-due balance.
1.3 If the Customer’s account is suspended due to non-payment, Customer’s access to GHRR’s web portal will be deactivated and Customer will not retain access to archival E-Verify Data.
1.4 The Parties agree to maintain the security of the E-Verify Data. Each party shall institute and maintain all necessary and reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of E-Verify Data, including implementing a comprehensive written data security program, utilizing strong password protocols, safeguarding passwords used to access terminals that provide access to E-Verify Data, destroying paper copies of E-Verify Data when no longer needed, limiting access to E-Verify Data to those individuals who have a legitimate business need to access the information, deactivating the user IDs and passwords of those who no longer need access to the E-Verify Data, and notifying GHRR of the same.
