Versus Game shall also share the audit report for its hosting provider with Host upon request, provided Versus Game is permitted to do so under any applicable confidentiality provisions imposed by its hosting provider. Upon the termination of this Agreement, or at any other time that a participant may request, Versus Game shall immediately destroy (and not keep in Versus Game’s possession, recreate, or deliver to anyone else) all Participant Information and provide written certification of such action at the request of Host, unless Versus Game is required to keep such information pursuant to another provision of this Agreement.

The foregoing obligation shall not apply with respect to any Third-Party Claim based in whole or in part upon: (i) Versus Game’s compliance with Host’s specifications; (ii) Host’s use of the Services in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment, or technology not provided or authorized by Versus Game; or (iii) Third-Party Products.
