7. Reviews and Audits of Compliance.

Customer may audit Provider’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA up to once per year and on such other occasions as may be required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, including where mandated by Customer’s supervisory authority. Provider will contribute to such audits by providing Customer or Customer’s supervisory authority with the information and assistance reasonably necessary to conduct the audit. If a third party is to conduct the audit, Provider may object to the auditor if the auditor is, in Provider’s reasonable opinion, not independent, a competitor of Provider, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable. Such objection by Provider will require Customer to appoint another auditor or conduct the audit itself. To request an audit, Customer must submit a proposed audit plan to Provider at least thirty (30) days in advance of the proposed audit date and any third party auditor must sign a customary non-disclosure agreement mutually acceptable to the parties (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) providing for the confidential treatment of all information exchanged in connection with the audit and any reports regarding the results or findings thereof. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration, and start date of the audit. Provider will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise Provider security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). Provider will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan. Nothing in this Section 7 shall require Provider to breach any duties of confidentiality. If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are addressed in an SOC 2 Type 2, or similar audit report performed by a qualified third party auditor within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request and Provider has confirmed there have been no known material changes in the controls audited since the date of such report, Customer agrees to accept such report in lieu of requesting an audit of such controls or measures. The audit must be conducted during regular business hours, subject to the agreed final audit plan and Provider’s safety, security or other relevant policies, and may not unreasonably interfere with Provider business activities. Customer will promptly notify Provider of any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit and provide Provider any audit reports generated in connection with any audit under this Section 7, unless prohibited by Applicable Data Protection Laws or otherwise instructed by a supervisory authority. Customer may use the audit reports only for the purposes of meeting Customer’s regulatory audit requirements and/or confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA. Any audits are at Customer’s sole expense. Customer shall reimburse Provider for any time expended by Provider and any third parties in connection with any audits or inspections under this Section 7 at Provider’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request. Customer will be responsible for any fees charged by any auditor appointed by Customer to execute any such audit.

8. Customer Responsibilities

(a) Customer compliance. Customer shall comply with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws. Customer shall ensure (and is solely responsible for ensuring) that its instructions in Section 3 comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, and that Customer has given all notices to, and has obtained all such from, individuals to whom Personal Data pertains and all other parties as required by applicable laws or regulations for Customer to Process Personal Data as contemplated by the Agreement.

(b) Prohibited data. Customer represents and warrants to Provider that Customer Data does not and will not, without Provider’s prior written consent, contain any social security numbers or other government-issued identification numbers, protected health information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or other information regarding an individual’s medical history, mental or physical condition, or medical treatment or diagnosis by a health care professional; health insurance information; biometric information; passwords for online accounts; credentials to any financial accounts; tax return data; credit reports or consumer reports; any payment card information subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard; information subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act or the regulations promulgated under either such law; information about children under 16 years of age or that is otherwise subject to heightened restrictions under Applicable Data Protection Laws; or any information that falls within any special categories of data (as defined in GDPR).

9. Limitation of Liability

Each party’s liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the ‘Limitation of Liability’ section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party under the Agreement, including this DPA.

10. Miscellaneous

Except as expressly modified by this DPA, the terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the other terms of the Agreement, this DPA will govern. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or any order form entered in connection therewith to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that Provider’s access to Personal Data does not constitute part of the consideration exchanged by the parties in respect of the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, any notices required or permitted to be given by Provider to Customer under this DPA may be given (a) in accordance with any notice clause of the Agreement; (b) to Provider’s primary points of contact with Customer; or (c) to any email provided by Customer for the purpose of providing it with Service-related communications or alerts.
