As a condition to permitting  a  third-party  Subprocessor  to  process Personal Data, Service Provider will enter into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations that provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Subprocessor.

Controller may reasonably object to Service Provider’s use of a new Subprocessor by notifying Service Provider promptly in writing within thirty (30) days after the notice of the change of Subprocessors is sent. Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection. In the event Controller objects to a new Sub-processor, Service Provider  will  use  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to make available to Controller a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Controller’s configuration or use of the Services  to  avoid  Processing  of  Personal  Data  by  the  objected-to  new  Subprocessor  without unreasonably burdening Controller. If Service Provider is unable to make available such change within a  reasonable  period  of  time,  which  shall  not  exceed  thirty  (30)  days,  either  party  may terminate without penalty the applicable IOs with respect only to those services which cannot be provided by Service Provider without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Service Provider.

9.  INDEMNITY

Service Provider agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified and defend at its own expense Company against  all  costs,  claims,  damages  or  expenses  incurred  by  Company  or  for  which Company may become liable due to any failure by Service Provider or its employees or agents to comply with any of its  obligations  under  this  Addendum.  Service  Provider’s  indemnification  obligations  under  this Addendum shall apply only to the extent of its proven gross negligence or willful misconduct and shall not exceed the liability cap set forth in the Agreement.

10.  ALLOCATION OF COSTS

Each Party shall perform its obligations under this Addendum at its own cost.

11.  TERMINATION

  1. In  the event that Service Provider is in breach of its obligations under this Addendum, or the Agreement, then Company may temporarily suspend the transfer of Company Data to Service Provider until the breach is repaired.
  2. In the event that:
    • the  transfer  of  Company  Data  to  Service Provider has been temporarily suspended by Company for longer than one month pursuant to clause 9(a);
    • compliance by Service Provider with this Addendum would put it in breach of its legal or regulatory obligations in the country where Service Provider exists;
    • Service Provider is in substantial or persistent breach of any warranties or undertakings given by it under this Addendum; or
    • a  petition  is  presented  for  the  administration  or  winding  up  of  Service  Provider, which petition is not dismissed within the applicable period for such dismissal under applicable laws;  a  winding  up  order  is  made;  a  receiver  is  appointed  over  any  of  its  assets;  a Company  voluntary  arrangement  is  commenced  by  it;  or  any  equivalent  event  in  any jurisdiction occurs;
      then Company, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have against Service Provider, shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and this Addendum.
  3. In the event that the Agreement terminates for any reason, this Addendum shall be immediately terminated and Service Provider shall cease processing Company Data.

12.  OBLIGATION AFTER TERMINATION OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING SERVICES

The  Parties  agree  that  on  the  termination  of  the  provision  of  data-processing  services,  Company, Service Provider and its sub-contractors shall, at the choice of Company, return all Company Data and the copies thereof, unless anonymized, to Company or shall securely destroy all Company Data and certify  to  Company  that  it  has  done  so,  unless,  for  European  Personal  Data,  European  Union  or Member State legislation, or, for U.S. Personal Information, U.S. law imposed upon Service Provider and its sub-contractors prevents them from returning or destroying all or part of Company Data. In that case, Service Provider warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of Company Data and will not actively process Company Data transferred anymore.
