If Customer terminates this Agreement due to the Provider's uncured material breach, the Provider will refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Term of the affected Order Form(s) after the effective date of termination. If the Agreement is terminated by the Provider due to Customer's uncured material breach, Customer agrees that it shall remain responsible for all outstanding fees payable to the Provider for the Subscription Term and the Provider may declare all such fees immediately due and payable.

Provider's obligations
Roles. For the purposes of the GDPR and similar Data Protection Legislation, Customer (or third party on whose behalf Customer is authorized to instruct the Provider) is the Controller of Customer Data that are Personal Data, and the Provider shall Process Personal Data as a Processor (or sub-Processor, as applicable to Customer's use of the Services); and for the purposes of the CCPA (to the extent the CCPA is applicable), Customer is the business and the Provider is the service provider.

The Provider shall Process Personal Data for the purposes described in Annex A and in accordance with Customer's documented lawful instructions ("Permitted Purposes"), except where otherwise required by the applicable Data Protection Legislation. In particular and to the extent the CCPA is applicable, Customer's transfer of Personal Data to the Provider is not a sale, and the Provider provides no monetary or other valuable consideration to Customer in exchange for Personal Data. To the extent required by Data Protection Legislation, this Section 3.2 constitutes the certification from the Provider to the Processing instructions herein. The Provider is obliged at all times to Process Personal Data in compliance with Data Protection Legislation and fulfil all its obligations arising out of Data Protection Legislation.
Processing Instructions. The Provider shall immediately inform Customer if it becomes aware that Customer's Processing instructions infringe Data Protection Legislation. If the Provider is unable to Process Personal Data in accordance with the Customer's documented lawful instructions, the Provider is obliged to promptly notify Customer of its inability to comply.
Security Measures. The Provider shall implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data from Data Breaches and preserve their security, integrity, and confidentiality. Such measures shall have regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of Processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. At a minimum, these measures must include the measures identified in Annex C of this DPA.
Access and Confidentiality. The Provider shall ensure that any person it authorizes to Process the Personal Data (including Provider's staff, agents and Sub-processors) ("Personnel") are under appropriate obligations of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty), have received proper training, and are informed about the confidential nature of the Personal Data, their obligations related to it and have access to Personal Data only on need-to-know basis. The Provider shall ensure that Personnel Processes the Personal Data only as necessary for the Permitted Purposes.
Data Returns and Deletion. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, the Provider must delete or return to the Customer all Personal Data in its possession or control except for one copy for archival and compliance purposes.
audit rights
Right to conduct audits. The Customer shall have the right to conduct an audit to verify Provider's compliance with its obligations laid down in Art. 28 GDPR (if applicable) and in this DPA. The Provider shall allow the Customer to carry out the audit if (i) the Customer requests to carry out the audit via a written notice at least 30 (thirty) days in advance; (ii) the Customer will specify the agenda for such audit in such notice; (iii) the audit shall not take place more than once a year; (iv) all associated costs and expenses shall be borne by the Customer or reimbursed to the Provider on demand; and (v) the audit shall last no longer than the equivalent of 1 working day (8 hours) of Provider's representative. On the request of the Customer, the Provider will provide the Customer with the estimated cost that it expects to incur during such audit according to the extent specified in the agenda provided by the Customer.
Independent Auditor. In case the Customer requests the audit by an independent party -- external licensed auditor, the Provider may object to an external licensed auditor appointed by the Customer to conduct the audit if the auditor is, in Provider's reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of the Provider, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable. Any such objection will require the Customer to appoint another auditor.
customer's obligations
Customer's Processing of Personal Data. The Customer shall, in its use of the Services, Process Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Legislation. The Customer shall have the sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data and how the Customer acquired Personal Data.

The Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Services, protecting the security of Personal Data when in transit to and from the Services, and taking any appropriate technical, organizational, and security measures to securely encrypt or backup any Personal Data uploaded to the Services. The Customer is also responsible for the use of the Services by any person the Customer authorized to access or use the Services, and any person who gains access to its Personal Data or the Services as a result of its failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if the Customer did not authorize such use.

cooperation
Data Subject Rights. To the extent that the Customer is unable to access the relevant Personal Data within the Services independently, the Provider shall, taking into account the nature of the Processing, provide assistance (including by appropriate technical and organizational measures) to provide reasonable cooperation to the Customer in order to (i) respond to any requests from a data subject seeking to exercise any of its rights under Data Protection Legislation (including its right of access, correction, objection, erasure and data portability, as applicable); and (ii) any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a data subject, regulator or other third party in connection with the Processing of the Personal Data (collectively "Correspondence").

security incidents

Upon becoming aware of a Data Breach, the Provider shall notify the Customer without undue delay and shall provide such timely information and cooperation as the Customer may reasonably require in order to fulfil its data breach reporting obligations under Data Protection Legislation, including the type of data affected and the identity of the affected person(s) as soon as such information becomes known or available to the Provider.

Liability for sub-processors. The Provider remains liable for any breach of this DPA caused by an act, error, or omission of such Sub-processor.
Data transfers
International Data Transfers. The Provider shall take all such measures necessary to ensure that the Processing and transfer of Personal Data in or to a territory other than the territory in which the Personal Data was first collected complies with Data Protection Legislation.
Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. The Parties agree that when and to the extent the transfer of Personal Data from the Customer to the Provider is a Restricted Transfer and EU Data Protection Laws or UK Data Protection Laws require that appropriate safeguards are put in place, such transfer shall be governed by the EU SCCs, which shall be incorporated by reference into and form an integral part of this DPA.
EU Data. For the purposes of Personal Data that is subject to the EU Data Protection Laws ("EU Data"):
Where the Customer is a Controller of Personal Data, Module Two (Controller to Processor Clauses) will apply and where the Customer is a Processor acting on behalf of third-party Controllers, Module 3 (Processor to Processor Clauses) will apply;
