Where applicable, the terms of the Service Agreement, such as governing law and dispute resolution, shall be applied to this Agreement.

The said information shall be detailed in Exhibit 1 (processing of Personal Data) of this Agreement.

Customer acknowledges that due to the nature of Services, Supplier cannot control and has no obligation to verify Personal Data Customer transfers to Supplier for processing on behalf of Customer when Customer uses Services. Supplier does not generally review Personal Data provided by its customers for processing. Customer ensures that Customer is entitled to transfer the Personal Data to Supplier so that Supplier may lawfully process the Personal Data on behalf of Customer.

Customer shall be responsible for the lawful collection, processing and use, and for the accuracy of Personal Data transferred to Supplier for processing, as well as for preserving the rights of the data subjects. If and to the extent legally required, Customer shall inform the individuals concerned regarding the processing of their Personal Data by Supplier, and shall obtain their consent if necessary.

SUPPLIER’S OBLIGATIONS 

Supplier shall not use Customer Data for any purpose other than that of rendering the Services and will not assert liens or other rights over, or sell or disclose the Customer Data to any third parties, without Customer’s prior written approval. Supplier shall process Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement and documented instructions from Customer. Customer’s instructions must be commercially reasonable, compliant with applicable data protection laws and consistent with the Agreement. Supplier shall not be obliged to verify whether any instructions given by Customer are consistent with applicable laws, as Customer is responsible for such compliance verification of its instructions.  Both Parties shall comply with the Regulation and any applicable European or foreign data protection laws as amended, as well as data protection authorities’ orders and guidelines.

Supplier implements and maintains appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Data within its area of responsibility as detailed in Appendix 1 to this Agreement and in the Regulation article 32. Supplier may modify its security measures from time to time but will not decrease the overall security during the term of this Agreement.   

To respond to requests from individuals exercising their rights as foreseen in applicable data protection law, such as the rights outlined in the Regulation chapter III, hereunder the right to access and the right to rectification or erasure, Supplier shall provide Customer with commercially reasonable assistance, without undue delay, taking into account the nature of the processing.

If the parties have not concluded a monthly-fee services or maintenance agreement, or the time required for assistance tasks exceeds the time limitations of such an agreement, Supplier is entitled to invoice the reasonable actual time used for the assistance tasks in accordance with its then current hourly rates or rates specifically agreed between the parties. Invoicing the time used for the assistance tasks requires that Customer has accepted that Supplier can use time to perform assistance tasks.

To provide Services, Customer accepts that Supplier may have Personal Data processed and accessible by its Subprocessors (as defined in clause 6.1). Supplier is also entitled to transfer personal data outside the EU or EEA, provided that the transfer is made in compliance with the obligations that the Regulation specifies in terms of adequate safeguards in international data transfers. Adequate safeguards may include the use of EU Commission model clauses, transfer to a whitelisted jurisdiction (as specified by the EU Commission from time to time) or to a EU-US Privacy Shield certified transferee (if the transferee is a US-based company). Supplier aims to notify Customer of international transfers of Personal Data outside the EU or EEA.

AUDITS

Supplier aims to procure for Customer the same rights of audit in respect of Supplier’s subcontractors. Each Party shall bear its own costs for any such audit. Customer must provide at least 20 days advance notification to Supplier of planned audits.Where an audit may lead to the disclosure of business or trade secrets of Supplier or threaten intellectual property rights of Supplier, Customer shall employ an independent expert to carry out the audit, and the expert shall agree to be bound to confidentiality to Supplier’s benefit.

SUBPROCESSORS

General authorization. Customer gives its general authorization to allow Supplier to involve Supplier’s affiliated companies and other subcontractors as subprocessors to process Personal Data in connection with the provision of Services (“Subprocessors”), to the extent such appointment does not lead to non-compliance with any applicable law or Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement. Supplier ensures that the involved Subprocessors are properly qualified, will be under a data processing agreement with Supplier, and comply with data processing obligations similar to the ones which apply to Supplier under this Agreement. Supplier shall be liable towards the Customer for the processing of Personal Data carried out by Subprocessors. 
Change of Subprocessor. Supplier is free to choose and change its Subprocessors. Upon request, Supplier shall inform Customer of Subprocessors currently involved. In case there is a later change of Subprocessor (addition or replacement), Supplier shall notify Customer of such change. In case Customer objects such change of Subprocessor on reasonable grounds, Customer has the right to request change of the Subprocessor. If the Supplier is not willing to change the Subprocessor Customer has objected, Customer shall have the right to terminate the Service Agreement.

DATA BREACHES

Supplier shall, without undue delay after having become aware of it, inform Customer in writing about any data breaches relating to Customer Data and any other events where the security of the Personal Data processed on behalf of Customer has been compromised (“Breach”). Supplier’s notification about the Breach (“Breach Notification”) to Customer shall include at least the following:
description of the nature of the Breach
name and contact details of Supplier’s contact point where more information can be obtained; 
description of the measures taken by Supplier to address the Breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. 

DELETION OR RETURN OF PERSONAL DATA

Within a reasonable time after the termination or expiry of the Service Agreement, Supplier shall either  delete the Personal Data in its possession or return it to Customer as well as remove user rights it has to Customer’s data processing systems (if any), except to the extent that Supplier is under a statutory obligation to continue storing such Personal Data. In such event any further processing of the Personal Data is prohibited, except to the extent required by law. On Customer’s request, Supplier shall confirm the deletion in writing.

As Supplier will either delete or return Personal Data within a reasonable time period following the date of termination or expiration of the Service Agreement, Customer should ensure prior to such termination or expiration that it has copies or backup files of the Personal Data processed by Supplier, if it considers it necessary. 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Subject to the liability cap mentioned in the Service Agreement, Supplier shall indemnify Customer, and Customer shall indemnify Supplier for (i) administrative fines paid by the indemnified party and imposed on it by the competent supervisory authority, and (ii) direct damages paid by the indemnified party to data subjects based on a settlement (agreed by the indemnifying party) or final judgement, if the claim against the indemnified party results from breach of this Agreement or applicable data protection law by the indemnifying party, and only to the extent such breach is attributable to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall provide, at its own cost, all reasonable support to the indemnified party in defending the claim. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, including but not limited to any loss of profits, revenue, reputation or goodwill.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Service Agreement, both Parties’ total and aggregate liability to the other Party for indemnification payments as described above and for breaches of this Agreement shall be limited cumulatively to the total amount of license fees paid by Customer to Supplier during a 12month period of the Service Agreement prior to the first breach.
