Such written objection shall include those reasons for objecting to Processor’s use of such new Sub-processor. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within three (3) business days following Processor’s notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event Customer reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Processor will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Service or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Service to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. If Processor is unable to make available such change within thirty (30) days, Customer may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Service which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Processor. All amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Processor. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Processor may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Account. Customer will have no further claims against Processor due to the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.

  • 5.4. Agreements with Sub-processors.

    Processor or a Processor’s Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing appropriate safeguards to the protection of Personal Data. Where Processor engages a new Sub-processor for carrying out specific Processing activities on behalf of the Customer, the same or materially similar data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on such new Sub-processor by way of a contract, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. Where the new Sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Processor shall remain fully liable to the Customer for the performance of the new Sub-processor’s obligations.

    Upon Customer’s 14 days prior written request at reasonable intervals (no more than once every 12 months), and subject to strict confidentiality undertakings by Customer, Processor shall make available to Customer that is not a competitor of Processor (or Customer’s independent, reputable, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of Processor and not in conflict with Processor, subject to their confidentiality and non-compete undertakings) all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by them (provided, however, that such information, audits, inspections and the results therefrom, including the documents reflecting the outcome of the audit and/or the inspections, shall only be used by Customer to assess compliance with this DPA, and shall not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any third party without Processor’s prior written approval. Upon Processor’s first request, Customer shall return all records or documentation in Customer’s possession or control provided by Processor in the context of the audit and/or the inspection). Customer shall be fully responsible for bearing all the costs and expenses arising from or related to this Section. If and to the extent that the Standard Contractual Clauses apply, nothing in this Section 6.2 varies or modifies the Standard Contractual Clauses nor affects any supervisory authority’s or data subject’s rights under the Standard Contractual Clauses.

• 7. DATA INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION

  Processor maintains security incident management policies and procedures and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data Processed on behalf of the Customer, including Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed by Processor or its Sub-processors of which Processor becomes aware (a “Data Incident”). Processor shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Data Incident and take those steps as Processor deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate the cause of such a Data Incident to the extent the remediation is within Processor’s reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Customer or Customer’s users. Customer will not make, disclose, release or publish any finding, admission of liability, communication, notice, press release or report concerning any Data Incident which directly or indirectly identifies Processor (including in any legal proceeding or in any notification to regulatory or supervisory authorities or affected individuals) without Processor’s prior written approval, unless, and solely to the extent that, Customer is compelled to do so pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws. In the latter case, unless prohibited by law, Customer shall provide Processor with reasonable prior written notice to provide Processor with the opportunity to object to such disclosure and in any case Customer will limit the disclosure to the minimum scope required.

    If the Processing of Personal Data by Processor includes transfers (either directly or via onward transfer) from the EEA, Switzerland and/or the UK to other countries which have not been subject to a relevant Adequacy Decision, and such transfers are not performed through an alternative recognized compliance mechanism as may be adopted by Processor for the lawful transfer of personal data (as defined in the GDPR) outside the EEA, Switzerland or the UK, as applicable, then the Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply. Where the transfer of Personal Data is made subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses, the “Data Importer” thereunder shall be either the Processor or its Sub-processor, as the case may be and as determined by Processor, and the “Data Exporter” shall be the Controller of such Personal Data. If necessary, Processor will ensure that its Sub-processor enters into Standard Contractual Clauses with Customer directly, and in such case Customer hereby gives Processor an instruction and mandate to sign the Standard Contractual Clauses with any such Sub-processor in Customer’s name and on behalf of Customer.

Processor shall provide, at Customer’s cost, reasonable assistance to Customer in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating to this Section 11.1, to the extent required under the GDPR.

  • 11.2. Modifications by Customer.

    notice: (a) Processor shall make commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such modification requested by Customer or that Processor believes is necessary; and (b) Customer shall not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to any consequential variations to this DPA proposed by Processor to protect the Processor against additional risks, or to indemnify and compensate Processor for any further steps and costs associated with the variations made herein at Customer’s request.

Customer’s continued use of the Service on expiry of the notice period shall signify acceptance of such revised terms. If Customer objects to said variations within the notice period, the Parties shall promptly discuss the proposed variations and negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations designed to address the requirements identified in Processor’s notice as soon as is reasonably practicable. In the event that the Parties are unable to reach such an agreement within 30 days of such notice, then Customer or Processor may, by written notice to the other Party, with immediate effect, terminate the Agreement to the extent that it relates to the Service which is affected by the proposed variations (or lack thereof).

• E. Instructions: For the purposes of Clause 5(a) of the Standard Contractual Clauses, the processing described in the DPA and any other mutually agreed upon written instrument by data exporter and data importer constitute as data exporter’s instructions to data importer at the time of entering the DPA and/or such written instrument, to process Personal Data on data exporter’s behalf. Any additional or alternate instructions shall be subject to the terms of the DPA.
• F. Suspension of Data Transfers and Termination: If, pursuant to Clause 5(a), the data exporter intends to suspend the transfer of personal data and/or terminate these Clauses, it shall provide notice to the data importer and provide data importer with 30 days to cure the non-compliance (“Cure Period”). If after the Cure Period the data importer has not or cannot cure the non-compliance then the data exporter may suspend or terminate the transfer of personal data immediately. The data exporter shall not be required to provide such notice in instances where it considers there is a material risk of harm to data subjects or their personal data.

• G. Data importer’s assistance: In the event the data exporter seeks to conduct any assessment of the adequacy of these Clauses for the protection of the personal data being transferred, the data importer shall provide reasonable assistance to the data exporter for the purpose of any such assessment.

Transfers from Switzerland: Notwithstanding Section D above, in respect of data transfers from a data exporter established in Switzerland, these Clauses shall be interpreted in accordance with the governing law in Switzerland. In such cases, references throughout these Clauses to Directive 95/46/EC shall be read as references to the relevant legislation in Switzerland concerning data protection, privacy, data security or the handling of information about individuals applicable to the data exporter, and defined terms in Clause 1 shall have the meanings given to them (or reasonably equivalent terms) in such legislation. References to “Member State” shall be read as references to Switzerland. Without prejudice to Section A above, the parties further agree that that in respect of data transfers where, under applicable privacy laws, the definition of “personal data” (or such reasonably equivalent term) extends to information relating to legal entities, references in these Clauses to “personal data” shall also include information relating to legal entities. The parties further agree that, where required by applicable law or upon the request of the relevant supervisory authority, they will do all such further acts as may reasonably be required to grant effect to this Section H, including (but not limited to) executing all documents.
