7.3 The Sub-Processor must not make any use of any personal data supplied to it by the Processor otherwise than in connection with the provision of Services to the Processor and as agreed in this Agreement.

7.4 The obligations in clauses 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 above must continue for a period of five years after the cessation of the provision of Services by the Sub-Processor to the Processor.

7.5 Nothing in this Agreement must prevent either party from complying with any legal obligation imposed by a regulator or court. Both parties must however, where possible, discuss together the appropriate response to any request from a regulator or court for disclosure of information.

8. Liability

 

8.1 The Processor is not liable for any damage suffered by the Sub-Processor as a result of a failure to comply with the GDPR or other laws or regulations.

8.2 The Sub-Processor indemnifies the Processor against claims by the Data Controller or Third Parties on the grounds of damage resulting from failure to comply in a correct, complete or timely manner by the Sub-Processor with the provisions of this Agreement. This indemnification applies not only to the damage that the Data Controller or Third Parties may have suffered (both material and immaterial), but also to the costs the Processor must incur in connection therewith, for example in any legal proceedings, and to the costs of any fines imposed on the Processor as a result of acts by the Sub-Processor.

8.3 The Sub-Processor is liable for all damage suffered by the Processor as a result of the failure by the Sub-processor to comply, or to comply correctly or fully, with the obligations set out in this Agreement or failure to comply, or to comply correctly or fully, with the agreed instructions relating to the performance of this Agreement or any obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.

9.1 The Processor agrees to pay the Sub-Processor for the Services the amounts described in the Annex.

9.2 Any amount mentioned in this Agreement is VAT exclusive.

9.3 Invoices must be paid within a period of 7 days following receipt thereof.

10. Audits and Inspections

The Sub-Processor agrees to:

10.1 Make available to the Processor all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this Agreement and Article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR;

10.2 Allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Processor or another auditor mandated by the Processor.

10.3 Inform the Processor if, in its opinion, an instruction pursuant to this section infringes the GDPR or other Union or Member State Data Protection Legislation.

11. Transfer to third countries

11.1 The Sub-Processor may not, without the prior written consent of the Processor, transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). If the Processor approves of such transfer, the Standard Contractual Clauses will apply to personal data that is transferred outside the EEA, to any country that is not recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Standard Contractual Clauses (or obligations the same as those under the Standard Contractual Clauses) will not apply if the Sub-Processor has adopted Binding Corporate Rules for Processors or an alternative recognised compliance standard for the lawful transfer of personal data (as defined in the GDPR) outside the EEA.

11.2 The Processor shall within reasonable cause be entitled to withdraw its consent to third country transfers provided under clause 11.1. In such case, the Sub-Processor shall immediately cease with the transfer and shall, upon the Processor request, provide written confirmation of this.

12. Term and Termination

12.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for the duration of our contract and one yeas after contract as ceased.

12.2 Either Party has the right to terminate the Agreement, partially or entirely, forthwith by sending a written notice of termination to the other party specifying the reasons for the termination, if any of the following events occur:

12.2.1 The other party materially breaches any of its obligations under this agreement;

12.2.2 The other party breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement and, notwithstanding a written request from the non-breaching party to remedy such a breach, fails to comply with such a request within a period of 30 days following such notice;

12.2.3 An event of force majeure prevails for a period exceeding 3 months; or

12.2.4 The other party becomes insolvent or enters liquidation, a petition in bankruptcy is filed for it or a receiver is appointed.

12.3 Upon the termination or expiry of this agreement, any rights and obligations of the parties, accrued prior to the termination or expiry thereof shall continue to exist.

12.4 Within 30 days following termination of this Agreement the Sub-Processor shall, at the direction of the Processor, either:

(a) Return all personal data passed to the Sub-Processor by the Processor or on its behalf for processing; or

(b) On receipt of instructions from the Processor, destroy all such data unless the Sub-Processor is prohibited from doing so by any applicable law.

12.5 The Sub-Processor may retain personal data to the extent required by Data Protection Legislation and only to the extent and for such period as required by Data Protection Legislation and always provided that the Sub-processor must ensure the confidentiality of all such personal data and must ensure that such data is only processed as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in the Data Protection Legislation requiring its storage and for no other purpose. If this applies, the Sub-Processor must inform the Processor of this obligation prior to the conclusion of the Agreement.

12.6 The costs of collecting and transferring personal data upon termination of this Agreement must be borne by the Sub-Processor. The same must apply to the costs of the destruction of the personal data. The Processor must be entitled to have a Third Party expert determine whether the data is indeed no longer present in the Sub-Processor systems. The costs for this Third Party expert must be borne by the Sub-Processor if the expert finds that the Sub-Processor have failed to destroy the personal data correctly, completely or in time.

12.7 The Sub-Processor must provide written certification to the Processor that it has fully complied with this section within 30 days of the termination date.

13. Transferability of the Agreement

13.1 Unless the parties have jointly agreed otherwise in writing, neither party shall be permitted to transfer this Agreement and the rights and obligations under this Agreement to another party.

14. Entire agreement

14.1 This Agreement contains the entire Agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to the same subject matter that are still in force between the parties.

14.2 Any amendments to this Agreement, as well as any additions or deletions, must be agreed in writing by both the parties.

14.3 Whenever possible, the provisions of this Agreement must be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid and enforceable under the governing law stated as per clause 17.

14.4 A change in the personal data processed, the reliability requirements or the privacy regulations, including the GDPR, or any requirements of the Processor’s client, the Data Controller, may give cause to supplement or amend this Agreement. If this leads to significant adjustments in this Agreement, or if the Sub-Processor is unable to provide adequate protection, this may be a reason for the Processor to terminate this Agreement.

15. Severance

15.1 Should any provision of this Agreement be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement must remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision must be either:

(i) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and enforceability, while preserving the parties’ intentions as closely as possible or, if this is not possible,

(ii) construed in a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein.

16. Notifications under the Agreement

16.1 All notices under this Agreement from one party to the other shall be in writing and delivered by email, messenger or registered mail to the parties’ above-mentioned address or to the addresses last registered with the Companies House.

  3. If sent by email: following confirmation of receipt by the other party.

17. Governing Law
