4.     NON-CONSENSUS PROVIDERS

•  
• Integration with Non-CONSENSUS Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-CONSENSUS Applications. Consensus makes no warranty or guarantee as to the interoperability of any Non-CONSENSUS Application with any Service or Content and Your use of any Non-CONSENSUS application is wholly at Your own risk. To use such features, You may be required to obtain access to Non-CONSENSUS Applications from their providers, and may be required to grant Us access to Your account(s) on the Non-CONSENSUS Applications. If the provider of a Non-CONSENSUS Application ceases to make the Non- CONSENSUS Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features on reasonable terms, or Consensus chooses to remove interoperability with any Non-CONSENSUS Application We may cease providing those Service features without entitling You to any refund, credit, or other compensation.

5.     FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES

• You will pay all fees specified in Service Orders. Except as otherwise specified herein or in a Service Order: (i) fees are based on Services and Content purchased as identified on a Service Order and not Your actual usage of any products (meaning if you fail to use the Service the full amount of all fees are still due), (ii) payment obligations are non- cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
• Invoicing and Payment. You will provide Us with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Us. If You provide credit card information to Us, You authorize Us to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Service Order for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 12.2 (Term of Purchased Subscriptions). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Service Order. If the Service Order specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, We will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Service Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Service Order, invoiced charges are due net 14 days from the invoice date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Us and notifying Us of any changes to such information.
• Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by Us by the due date, then without limiting Our rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Service Orders on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 6.2 (Invoicing and Payment).
• Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full. We will give You at least 10 days’ prior notice by email that Your account is overdue, in accordance with Section 13.2 (Manner of Giving Notice), before suspending services to You.
• Payment Disputes. We will not exercise Our rights under Section 5.3 (Overdue Charges) or 5.4 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) above if You are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute, however, any dispute outstanding more than sixty (60) days past the invoice date will begin to accrue Overdue Charges according to the terms of Section 5.3
• Taxes. The Fees set forth in any Service Order are exclusive of, and You agree you are liable for and will pay, all Taxes, including any value added tax and goods and services tax or any similar Tax imposed on or measured by this Agreement. If You are required to withhold or deduct any Taxes from the fees, then You agree to increase the amount payable to Consensus by the amount of such Taxes so that Consensus receives the full amount of all fees. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this Section 6.6, We will invoice You and You will pay that amount unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, We are solely responsible for taxes assessable against Us based on Our income, property and employees.
• Future Functionality. You agree that Your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Us regarding future functionality or features.

7.     CONFIDENTIALITY

• Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your Confidential Information includes Your Data; Our Confidential Information includes the Services and Content; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Service Orders (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Service Order to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this Section 7.2.
• Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
• Remedies Upon Breach. Each party agrees that the other party may have no adequate remedy at law if there is a breach or threatened breach of this Section 7 and, accordingly, that either party may be entitled (in addition to any legal or equitable remedies available to such party) to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or remedy such breach.

The capitalized terms in this Section 13.11 shall have the meaning given them in the GDPR. To the extent the Personal Data processed under this Agreement is subject to the GDPR, the parties agree to govern themselves as joint Controllers of the Processed Data (defined below) as follows:
  • “Customer Data” means the Personal Data related to Your customers and their employees, agents, and customers that is processed by You or Us using the Services. You are the Controller of the Customer Data, and we are the Processer of Customer Data.
  • “Anonymized Data” means the Customer Data after the Customer Data has been anonymized and aggregated and is rendered not identifiable to any individual. We are the Controller and the Processer of the Customer Data to the extent the Anonymized Data is subject to the GDPR.
  • “Usage Data” means usage information related to the use of the Services by Your customers and their employees, agents, and customers. As an example only, and not by way of limitation, “Usage Data” includes the times and dates You and your agents or customers log in to the Services, the pages accessed, latencies, type of device used, and other analytical information regarding the usage of the Services. It does not include any Customer Data. We are the Controller and the Processer of the Usage Data.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

1.     Service Level Agreement

99.9% UPTIME GOAL

CONSENSUS shall make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain availability of the Hosted Services 99.9% of the time (the “Uptime Goal”). At a customer’s request, each instance of unavailability that exceeds .1%, CONSENSUS will extend Customer’s subscription renewal date by a period equal to 10x (ten times) the outage period, with a minimum of one business day. The Uptime Goal is measured over a calendar month and is based on total outage time incurred by Customer. Unavailability is deemed to have occurred from the time unavailability is reported to CONSENSUS to the time CONSENSUS confirms that the affected Hosted Services is available to transmit and receive data.

Unavailability shall not be deemed to occur as a result of: a) maintenance activities during a scheduled maintenance period; b) beta periods; c) force majeure events; d) any failures to meet the Uptime Goal caused by Customer, its employees, agents, subcontractors or End Users; e) an outage in the underlying infrastructure required to provide the Services that is not controlled by Consensus, this includes, but is not limited to cloud provider – Amazon Web Services (AWS) outages (http://aws.amazon.com and any successor or related site designated by Consensus); f) internet network or backbone outages, g) internet DNS outages, or b) Consensus’ suspension or termination of your right to use the Services in accordance with the Agreement.

.

2.     DATA BACKUPS

If Customer requests that CONSENSUS retrieve data from the CONSENSUS backup, it shall be at Customer’s cost and expense. Consensus makes no warranty or guarantee that such data can or will be retrieved or that such data will be accurate, complete, or conform to original data stored.  Any data retrieved from backup is provided to Customer as-is.

3.     RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION SCHEDULE

Customer may choose to classify each Error or defect in the software and may report such error or defect to CONSENSUS based on the following criteria:

ERROR CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA

Severity 1 – Fatal: Errors preventing all useful work from being performed.  If a Severity 1 issue has an identified workaround it will be reclassified as a Severity 2 issue.

Severity 2 – Severe Impact: Errors, which disable major functions from being performed.    If a Severity 2 issue has an identified workaround it will be reclassified as a Severity 3 issue.

Severity 3 – Degraded Operations: Errors disabling only certain nonessential functions.

Severity 4 – Minimal Impact: Includes all other as reasonably determined by Customer.

The Customer will provide an initial severity level associated with a ticket. The Consensus support manager will determine, in Consensus’ sole discretion, if the ticket was correctly classified and may increase or decrease the assigned severity level.  The Consensus support manager may also decrease the severity level of a ticket based on Customer non-responsiveness.

LEVEL IDENTIFICATION

Response 1 — Acknowledgment of receipt of error report

Response 2 — Provide patch, workaround, or other temporary fix

Response 3 — Official object code fix, update or major release and/or updated manuals

CONSENSUS shall use best efforts to respond to error reports according to the following schedule:

CLASSIFICATION       RESPONSE 1                            RESPONSE 2          RESPONSE 3

Severity 1                      2 business hours**                     1 day                          Next version*

Severity 2                      4 business hours**                     1 day                          Next version*

Severity 3                      1 business day                         As appropriate

Severity 4                      1 business day                         As appropriate

*Provided such error is reported by Customer to CONSENSUS prior to close of development for such version.

** For the purposes of the SLA, “business hours” means 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time, U.S.A. For example, if a Severity 1 issue were reported at 3 a.m. Mountain Time, CONSENSUS will respond no later than 2 business hours later, which means 9:00 am Mountain Time.

Customer will consider a problem resolved when Customer has either:

Implemented a satisfactory recommendation received from CONSENSUS or received applicable Internet-based access to all upgraded software necessary to correct the Error.

Consensus Data Protection Agreement

1.     Data Protection Agreement

Agreement Background

This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) supplements any online or other Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (together and individually, the “Agreement”) with clients (“Client” or “you”) insofar as they relate to processing of data subject to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).  To the extent this DPA conflicts with our Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy, this DPA will control.  Capitalized terms used in this DPA shall have the same meaning set forth for those terms in the GDPR, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

Consensus Sales, Inc. (“Consensus,” “we,” or “us”) is a software as a service provider, using our software, platforms, applications, and any other services (“Services”).  As such, we act as a “Processor” under the GDPR.  As one of our clients, you control the means and purposes for the processing of the data you gather using the Services, and thus, you are a Controller under the GDPR.  Unless otherwise agreed between us in writing, those items the GDPR requires of Processors will be our responsibility, and those items required of Controllers will be your responsibility.  Specifically, the parties agree as follows:

How to Execute this DPA

We have incorporated this DPA into any Terms of Service to which the DPA is attached, and it is also binding as a stand-alone document if we have not incorporated it into any Terms of Service with you.  Therefore, it is binding on both parties without further action on your part.  Each provision of the DPA, including the provisions of the Standard Contractual Clauses attached hereto, is enforceable against the parties as if it had been separately signed.

Consensus’s GDPR Obligations

When you use the Services, you may obtain Personal Data about your customers, employees, prospects, marketplace partners, vendors, suppliers, or other individuals with whom you interact, or about whom you gather personal data (“Your Personal Data”), using the Services (the individuals whose data is collected being collectively and individually referred to as “Your Data Subjects”).  That Personal Data may be subject to the protections of the GDPR.  For purposes of clarity, the parties agree that Your Personal Data does not include data that is anonymized or de-identified in a manner that prevents the tracking or identification of any specific individual.  Acknowledging that certain of your obligations as a Controller must be passed along to any company or individual that Processes the Personal Data of Your Data Subjects, we agree to perform the following functions and to facilitate your compliance with the GDPR in the following ways:

• Right of Access by Data Subject and Communication with Authorities and Your Data Subjects.

We agree that, in order to assist you in your obligations as a Controller, we will implement the necessary technical and organizational measures to allow you to (1) respond to any request by any individual to exercise his or her rights under the GDPR, and (2) respond to correspondence, inquiries, or complaints from entitled third parties such as individuals, regulators, courts, and other authorities in connection with the processing of Personal Data.  If any such requests or correspondence is received directly by us, we will forward you the request or correspondence and will wait for further direction from you before taking action.  We will not communicate with authorities or Your Data Subjects without receiving your advance permission, except as required by applicable law.  Upon documented request from you, we will correct, supplement, modify or delete any of Your Personal Data, except as required by applicable law.

• Use Limitation

We agree that we will not use or process any of Your Personal Data for any purpose other than the purpose set forth in the Agreement, except to respond to specifically document requests from you regarding Your Personal Data.  In no event will we process, use, or transfer any of Your Personal Data for our own purposes or for the purposes of any third party.  In addition, we will delete all Your Personal Data from our systems thirty (30) days after termination of the Agreement, except as may be required by applicable law.

• Standard Contractual Clauses, Privacy Shield, and International Transfers of Data

To the extent your transfer of Your Personal Data to us involves a transfer out of the EU, we agree to comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses attached hereto as Appendix 1.

We have not obtained certification under the Privacy Shield Framework (“Privacy Shield”) for the EU or Switzerland, but we agree to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the Standard Contractual Clauses nonetheless.

In the event of any conflict between the Standard Contractual Clauses and this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall control and supersede.  If the European Union or courts thereof decide that the Standard Contractual Clauses are insufficient protection for citizens of the EU, then the parties agree to work in good faith together to determine how a new valid method can be implemented to meet any new requirements.

We agree that we will not process or transfer any of Your Personal Data originating from the European Economic Area in any country or territory that has been determined to offer an inadequate level of data protection unless it has first obtained your consent or ensured that a valid transfer mechanism similar to the Privacy Shield is in place with respect to such country or territory.

• Processing Confidentiality and Agreements by Agents

We agree that we will keep Your Personal Data strictly confidential and that we will ensure that any of our employees, vendors, or other agents “Our Agents” who have access to Your Personal Data (1) are informed of and subject to this strict duty of confidentiality; (2) access and process only such of Your Personal Data as is strictly to perform our obligations under the Agreement; and (3) agree not to permit any person to process Your Personal Data who is not subject to the foregoing duties.  We accept responsibility for the conduct of Our Agents in this regard, including their acts, errors and omissions.

• Disposition of Your Personal Data Upon Request or Termination

At your request or at termination of the Agreement, whichever is sooner, we agree to delete or return to you all Your Personal Data, including any of Your Personal Data subcontracted to a third party for processing, except as required by applicable law.  At that time, with respect to Your Personal Data that we are required by applicable law to retain, we will isolate and protect Your Personal Data from further processing, except as required by applicable law.  We will ensure that any of our sub-processors who are in possession of Your Personal Data shall also comply with this provision.

• Security Incidents and Security

We will at all times take reasonable measures to ensure that Your Personal Data is adequately protected in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.  To this end, we agree that we will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Your Personal Data from security incidents.

When we become aware of any security incident, which consists of the unpermitted, accidental, or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to any of Your Personal Data, we will inform you without any undue delay, and in no event longer than 24 hours after we discover the security incident.  We will cooperate reasonably with you and provide you the information you need in order to fulfil your data breach obligations under the GDPR.  We will also take other further measures and actions that are necessary to remedy or mitigate the effects of the security incident, and we will keep you informed of every material development connected with the security incident.  Except as required by law, we will not take action to notify Your Data Subjects of any security incident.

• Subprocessors

In the course of providing our Services, we may be required to contract with a third-party processor (“Subprocessor”) to perform a portion of the Services.  We have included as Appendix 3 a list of the Subprocessors we currently use.  We will not add any additional Subprocessors without informing you of such Subprocessors and giving you an opportunity to object to the use of such Subprocessors.  We agree to impose the same data protection obligations upon each of our Subprocessors that we agree to in this DPA, and we agree to be fully responsible for any liability arising out of the acts and omissions of our Subprocessors.

For the avoidance of doubt, the approval requirements as set out in this subsection will not apply in cases where we subcontract ancillary services to third parties without having access to Your Personal Data.  Such ancillary services are not considered data processing.

• Audits, Requests from Law Enforcement, and Impact Assessment

In certain instances, you as a Controller are required to submit to an audit to show that you are complying with the provisions of the GDPR.  In any such instance, we agree to cooperate fully with such audit and to maintain a record of all processing activities that we carry out on your behalf.  After reasonable notice, we will allow you or your auditors to audit our compliance with this DPA, to include communication with our staff and access to our systems and information; provided you conduct your audit during normal business hours and make reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to our business.

If we are requested by law enforcement to disclose any of Your Personal Data, we will, unless prohibited by law, inform you of the request, attempt to re-direct the law enforcement agency to contact you directly, and only provide such information as required by law.

In the event that you believe that our processing of Your Personal Data is likely to result in a high risk to the data protection rights and freedoms of citizens of the EU, we agree to assist you in a reasonable and timely manner to conduct a data protection impact assessment, which may include consulting with the relevant data protection authority.

Your Obligations

As a Controller under the GDPR, you are required to carry out certain responsibilities and to comply with certain requirements.  For example, and without intending to limit your obligations, you are required to comply with the privacy and confidentiality provisions of the GDPR, just as we are.  You are also required in certain instances to ensure that the consent of Data Subjects is obtained and that collection of Your Personal Data is otherwise justified under the GDPR.  We acknowledge that in doing so, you are required to ensure that your Processors also comply with certain requirements, and we agree to reasonably cooperate with your requests in this regard.  However, if you make requests of us that go beyond our obligations set forth in the “Consensus’s GDPR Obligations” section of this DPA, we will comply with your requests at your expense.

CLAUSE 7

Docking clause

• An entity that is not a Party to these Clauses may, with the agreement of the Parties, accede to these Clauses at any time, either as a data exporter or as a data importer, by completing the Appendix and signing Annex I.A.

• The acceding entity shall have no rights or obligations arising under these Clauses from the period prior to becoming a Party.

SECTION II – OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

CLAUSE 8

Data protection safeguards

The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able, through the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.

8.1 Instructions

• The data importer shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from the data exporter. The data exporter may give such instructions throughout the duration of the contract.
• The data importer shall immediately inform the data exporter if it is unable to follow those instructions.

8.2 Purpose limitation

The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set out in Annex I.B, unless on further instructions from the data exporter.

8.3 Transparency

On request, the data exporter shall make a copy of these Clauses, including the Appendix as completed by the Parties, available to the data subject free of charge. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including the measures described in Annex II and personal data, the data exporter may redact part of the text of the Appendix to these Clauses prior to sharing a copy, but shall provide a meaningful summary where the data subject would otherwise not be able to understand the its content or exercise his/her rights. On request, the Parties shall provide the data subject with the reasons for the redactions, to the extent possible without revealing the redacted information. This Clause is without prejudice to the obligations of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

8.4 Accuracy

If the data importer becomes aware that the personal data it has received is inaccurate, or has become outdated, it shall inform the data exporter without undue delay. In this case, the data importer shall cooperate with the data exporter to erase or rectify the data.

8.5 Duration of processing and erasure or return of data

Processing by the data importer shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex I.B. After the end of the provision of the processing services, the data importer shall, at the choice of the data exporter, delete all personal data processed on behalf of the data exporter and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, or return to the data exporter all personal data processed on its behalf and delete existing copies. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit return or deletion of the personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process it to the extent and for as long as required under that local law. This is without prejudice to Clause 14, in particular the requirement for the data importer under Clause 14(e) to notify the data exporter throughout the duration of the contract if it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under Clause 14(a).

8.6 Security of processing

• The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the data, including protection against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access to that data (hereinafter ‘personal data breach’). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subjects. The Parties shall in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner. In case of pseudonymisation, the additional information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject shall, where possible, remain under the exclusive control of the data exporter. In complying with its obligations under this paragraph, the data importer shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex II. The data importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure that these measures continue to provide an appropriate level of security.
• The data importer shall grant access to the personal data to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for the implementation, management and monitoring of the contract. It shall ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
• In the event of a personal data breach concerning personal data processed by the data importer under these Clauses, the data importer shall take appropriate measures to address the breach, including measures to mitigate its adverse effects. The data importer shall also notify the data exporter without undue delay after having become aware of the breach. Such notification shall contain the details of a contact point where more information can be obtained, a description of the nature of the breach (including, where possible, categories and approximate number of data subjects and personal data records concerned), its likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide all information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and further information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
• The data importer shall cooperate with and assist the data exporter to enable the data exporter to comply with its obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, in particular to notify the competent supervisory authority and the affected data subjects, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the data importer.

8.7 Sensitive data

Where the transfer involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or data relating to criminal convictions and offences (hereinafter ‘sensitive data’), the data importer shall apply the specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards described in Annex I.B.

8.8 Onward transfers

The data importer shall only disclose the personal data to a third party on documented instructions from the data exporter. In addition, the data may only be disclosed to a third party located outside the European Union (in the same country as the data importer or in another third country, hereinafter ‘onward transfer’) if the third party is or agrees to be bound by these Clauses, under the appropriate Module, or if:

• the onward transfer is to a country benefitting from an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the onward transfer;
• the third party otherwise ensures appropriate safeguards pursuant to Articles 46 or 47 Regulation of (EU) 2016/679 with respect to the processing in question;
• the onward transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the context of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings; or
• the onward transfer is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

Any onward transfer is subject to compliance by the data importer with all the other safeguards under these Clauses, in particular purpose limitation.

8.9 Documentation and compliance

• The data importer shall promptly and adequately deal with enquiries from the data exporter that relate to the processing under these Clauses.
• The Parties shall be able to demonstrate compliance with these Clauses. In particular, the data importer shall keep appropriate documentation on the processing activities carried out on behalf of the data exporter.
• The data importer shall make available to the data exporter all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in these Clauses and at the data exporter’s request, allow for and contribute to audits of the processing activities covered by these Clauses, at reasonable intervals or if there are indications of non-compliance. In deciding on a review or audit, the data exporter may take into account relevant certifications held by the data importer.
• The data exporter may choose to conduct the audit by itself or mandate an independent auditor. Audits may include inspections at the premises or physical facilities of the data importer and shall, where appropriate, be carried out with reasonable notice.
• The Parties shall make the information referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c), including the results of any audits, available to the competent supervisory authority on request.

CLAUSE 9

Use of sub-processors

• The data importer has the data exporter’s general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processor(s) from an agreed list. The data importer shall specifically inform the data exporter in writing of any changes to that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors, thereby giving the data exporter an opportunity to object to such changes to the list of sub-processor(s). The data importer shall provide the data exporter with the information necessary to enable the data exporter to exercise its right to object.
• Where the data importer engages a sub-processor to carry out specific processing activities (on behalf of the data exporter), it shall do so by way of a written contract that provides for, in substance, the same data protection obligations as those binding the data importer under these Clauses, including in terms of third-party beneficiary rights for data subjects. The Parties agree that, by complying with this Clause, the data importer fulfils its obligations under Clause 8.8. The data importer shall ensure that the sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the data importer is subject pursuant to these Clauses.
• The data importer shall provide, at the data exporter’s request, a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments to the data exporter. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including personal data, the data importer may redact the text of the agreement prior to sharing a copy.
• The data importer shall remain fully responsible to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under its contract with the data importer. The data importer shall notify the data exporter of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its obligations under that contract.
• The data importer shall agree a third-party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby – in the event the data importer has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent – the data exporter shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and to instruct the sub-processor to erase or return the personal data.

CLAUSE 10

Data subject rights

• The data importer shall promptly notify the data exporter of any request it has received from a data subject. It shall not respond to that request itself unless it has been authorised to do so by the data exporter.
• The data importer shall assist the data exporter in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests for the exercise of their rights under Regulation (EU) 2016/679. In this regard, the Parties shall set out in Annex II the appropriate technical and organisational measures, taking into account the nature of the processing, by which the assistance shall be provided, as well as the scope and the extent of the assistance required.
• In fulfilling its obligations under paragraphs (a) and (b), the data importer shall comply with the instructions from the data exporter.

CLAUSE 11

Redress

• The data importer shall inform data subjects in a transparent and easily accessible format, through individual notice or on its website, of a contact point authorised to handle complaints. It shall deal promptly with any complaints it receives from a data subject.
• In case of a dispute between a data subject and one of the Parties as regards compliance with these Clauses, that Party shall use its best efforts to resolve the issue amicably in a timely fashion. The Parties shall keep each other informed about such disputes and, where appropriate, cooperate in resolving them.
• Where the data subject invokes a third-party beneficiary right pursuant to Clause 3, the data importer shall accept the decision of the data subject to:
  • lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the Member State of his/her habitual residence or place of work, or the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Clause 13;
  • refer the dispute to the competent courts within the meaning of Clause 18.
• The Parties accept that the data subject may be represented by a not-for-profit body, organisation or association under the conditions set out in Article 80(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
• The data importer shall abide by a decision that is binding under the applicable EU or Member State law.
• The data importer agrees that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice his/her substantive and procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with applicable laws.

CLAUSE 12

Liability

• Each Party shall be liable to the other Party/ies for any damages it causes the other Party/ies by any breach of these Clauses.
• The data importer shall be liable to the data subject, and the data subject shall be entitled to receive compensation, for any material or non-material damages the data importer or its sub-processor causes the data subject by breaching the third-party beneficiary rights under these Clauses.
• Notwithstanding paragraph (b), the data exporter shall be liable to the data subject, and the data subject shall be entitled to receive compensation, for any material or non-material damages the data exporter or the data importer (or its sub-processor) causes the data subject by breaching the third-party beneficiary rights under these Clauses. This is without prejudice to the liability of the data exporter and, where the data exporter is a processor acting on behalf of a controller, to the liability of the controller under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, as applicable.
• The Parties agree that if the data exporter is held liable under paragraph (c) for damages caused by the data importer (or its sub-processor), it shall be entitled to claim back from the data importer that part of the compensation corresponding to the data importer’s responsibility for the damage.
• Where more than one Party is responsible for any damage caused to the data subject as a result of a breach of these Clauses, all responsible Parties shall be jointly and severally liable and the data subject is entitled to bring an action in court against any of these Parties.
• The Parties agree that if one Party is held liable under paragraph (e), it shall be entitled to claim back from the other Party/ies that part of the compensation corresponding to its/their responsibility for the damage.
• The data importer may not invoke the conduct of a sub-processor to avoid its own liability.

CLAUSE 13

Supervision

• Where the data exporter is established in an EU Member State: The supervisory authority with responsibility for ensuring compliance by the data exporter with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as regards the data transfer, as indicated in Annex I.C, shall act as competent supervisory authority.

• The data importer agrees to submit itself to the jurisdiction of and cooperate with the competent supervisory authority in any procedures aimed at ensuring compliance with these Clauses. In particular, the data importer agrees to respond to enquiries, submit to audits and comply with the measures adopted by the supervisory authority, including remedial and compensatory measures. It shall provide the supervisory authority with written confirmation that the necessary actions have been taken.

SECTION III – LOCAL LAWS AND OBLIGATIONS IN CASE OF ACCESS BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

CLAUSE 14

Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clauses

• The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of the objectives listed in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
• The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in particular of the following elements:
  • the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
  • the laws and practices of the third country of destination – including those requiring the disclosure of data to public authorities or authorising access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards;
  • any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the country of destination.
• The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it will continue to cooperate with the data exporter in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
• The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
• The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and for the duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of the third country or a measure (such as a disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in practice that is not in line with the requirements in paragraph (a).
• Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe that the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data exporter and/or data importer to address the situation. The data exporter shall suspend the data transfer if it considers that no appropriate safeguards for such transfer can be ensured, or if instructed by the competent supervisory authority to do so. In this case, the data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses. If the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise. Where the contract is terminated pursuant to this Clause, Clause 16(d) and (e) shall apply.

CLAUSE 15

Obligations of the data importer in case of access by public authorities

15.1 Notification

• The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly (if necessary with the help of the data exporter) if it:
  • receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the country of destination for the disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses; such notification shall include information about the personal data requested, the requesting authority, the legal basis for the request and the response provided; or
  • becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities to personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses in accordance with the laws of the country of destination; such notification shall include all information available to the importer.
• If the data importer is prohibited from notifying the data exporter and/or the data subject under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of the prohibition, with a view to communicating as much information as possible, as soon as possible. The data importer agrees to document its best efforts in order to be able to demonstrate them on request of the data exporter.
• Where permissible under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to provide the data exporter, at regular intervals for the duration of the contract, with as much relevant information as possible on the requests received (in particular, number of requests, type of data requested, requesting authority/ies, whether requests have been challenged and the outcome of such challenges, etc.).
• The data importer agrees to preserve the information pursuant to paragraphs (a) to (c) for the duration of the contract and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
• Paragraphs (a) to (c) are without prejudice to the obligation of the data importer pursuant to Clause 14(e) and Clause 16 to inform the data exporter promptly where it is unable to comply with these Clauses.

15.2 Review of legality and data minimisation

• The data importer agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it remains within the powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after careful assessment, it concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful under the laws of the country of destination, applicable obligations under international law and principles of international comity. The data importer shall, under the same conditions, pursue possibilities of appeal. When challenging a request, the data importer shall seek interim measures with a view to suspending the effects of the request until the competent judicial authority has decided on its merits. It shall not disclose the personal data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules. These requirements are without prejudice to the obligations of the data importer under Clause 14(e).
• The data importer agrees to document its legal assessment and any challenge to the request for disclosure and, to the extent permissible under the laws of the country of destination, make the documentation available to the data exporter. It shall also make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
• The data importer agrees to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request for disclosure, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request.

SECTION IV – FINAL PROVISIONS

CLAUSE 16

Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination

• The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever reason.
• In the event that the data importer is in breach of these Clauses or unable to comply with these Clauses, the data exporter shall suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until compliance is again ensured or the contract is terminated. This is without prejudice to Clause 14(f).
• The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses, where:
  • the data exporter has suspended the transfer of personal data to the data importer pursuant to paragraph (b) and compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of suspension;
  • the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or
  • the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority regarding its obligations under these Clauses.

In these cases, it shall inform the competent supervisory authority of such non-compliance. Where the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise.

• Personal data that has been transferred prior to the termination of the contract pursuant to paragraph (c) shall at the choice of the data exporter immediately be returned to the data exporter or deleted in its entirety. The same shall apply to any copies of the data. The data importer shall certify the deletion of the data to the data exporter. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit the return or deletion of the transferred personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process the data to the extent and for as long as required under that local law.
• Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound by these Clauses where (i) the European Commission adopts a decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the transfer of personal data to which these Clauses apply; or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the personal data is transferred. This is without prejudice to other obligations applying to the processing in question under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
