between the lower and higher license fees. If You move to a monthly license, the next full
charge will be on the first day of the month following the license conversion.

in its entirety to a third party upon notice to cPanel solely with respect to Monthly Licenses for the

Software to any human-readable form, or use the Software to develop any application having
the same primary functions as the Software.

2.5 Monitoring of Software.

2.5.1 Audit by cPanel. You agree that cPanel may audit Your use of the Software for
compliance with this Agreement at any time, upon reasonable notice. You agree to cooperate
with cPanel and any auditors selected by cPanel to complete the audit, including by providing
access to any facilities in which the Software is used or stored, including, without limitation,
the facilities which house the Licensed Server and any facilities which cPanel reasonably
believes house servers upon which the Software is installed. In the event that such audit
reveals any use of the Software by You other than in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, You shall reimburse cPanel for all reasonable expenses related to such audit in
addition to any other liabilities You may incur as a result of such noncompliance.

2.5.2 Mandatory Product Activation. If You do not complete the Mandatory Product
Activation process within 15 days after You first install the Software, cPanel may in its sole
discretion terminate this Agreement or suspend or disable access in whole or in part to the
Software. “Mandatory Product Activation” means the process by which You supply to cPanel
certain information during the installation or setup process of the Software. After You have
completed the Mandatory Product Activation process, cPanel will activate the Software
allowing You to use the Software subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. After
cPanel activates the Software, such Software shall be deemed to be “Activated” for purposes
of this Agreement. The Mandatory Product Activation process may require the use of the
Internet or a long distance telephone call. You are responsible for any Internet access fees or
telephone charges required for the activation or use of the Software.

2.5.3 Authentication System. The Software contains technological measures that, working in
conjunction with cPanel computer servers, are designed to prevent unlicensed or illegal use
of the Software (collectively, the “Authentication System”). You acknowledge and agree that
such Authentication System allows cPanel to (among other things): (a) monitor use of the
Software by You and Third Party Users as set forth in Section 2.5.4 (cPanel Usage Data); (b)
verify that the Software is only used on the Licensed Server; (c) that You have purchased
sufficient accounts for the Software; (d) suspend or disable access to the Software in whole or
in part in the event of a breach of this Agreement or in the event of a breach by a Third Party
User of cPanel-related provisions of a Third Party Agreement; and (e) terminate use of the
Software upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement. You agree not to thwart,
interfere with, circumvent or block the operation of any aspect of the Authentication System,
including any communications between the Software and cPanel’s computer servers. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Software will not operate unless cPanel from time to time verifies the
Software using the Authentication System which requires the exchange of information
between the Licensed Server and cPanel over the Internet.
2.5.4 cPanel Usage Data. You agree that, without further notice to You or any Third Party User
or End User, cPanel may use technological means, including the Authentication System, to: (a)
monitor use of the Software as may be necessary to monitor for compliance with the terms
of this Agreement, the Pricing and Term Agreement, or any other agreement applicable to the
Software; and (b) collect cPanel Usage Data. cPanel reserves the right to copy, access, store,
disclose and use cPanel Usage Data indefinitely in its sole discretion; provided, however, that
in the event that cPanel collects information concerning which features of the Software are
most often used by You or Third Party Users or an End User, cPanel will remove personally
identifiable information (if any) from such data and copy, access, store, disclose and use such
data solely for the purpose of improving the Software.

2.6 Additional Licenses. For the avoidance of doubt, You may not install or use the Software on any
other servers or computers other than the Licensed Server. If You wish to install and use the Software
on servers other than the Licensed Server, You will need to obtain a separate license for each additional
server, including, without limitation, a separate license for each additional Virtual Private Server.
Certain Software set out in this Agreement may have restrictions on the number of users as set out in
the Pricing and Term Agreement, any other applicable agreement and/or the relevant pricing page(s).
Software subject to such restrictions will also be subject to the limitations, refund and credit policies
set out in the Pricing and Term Agreement, the relevant pricing page and/or in Your other agreements
with cPanel.

2.7 Updates. The Software may automatically download and install updates from time to time from
cPanel. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Software and may
take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules, completely new versions and
additional products and services offered through or from the Software. You agree to receive such
updates (and permit cPanel to deliver these to You) as a condition to Your use of the Software.

2.8 License Exchange. You agree that this Agreement shall supersede any prior End-User License
Agreement between You and cPanel applicable to the Software and that such prior End-User License
Agreement is hereby terminated if (a) You previously purchased a license for the Software and are now
purchasing a new license for the Software so that You may obtain additional technical support or
updates during the Term of this Agreement; or (b) the copy of the Software You licensed with this
Agreement is an upgrade to an earlier version of the Software. You may not continue to use the earlier
version of the Software or transfer it to another person or entity.
2.9 Automatic Activation. Components of the Software may be automatically activated for You and/or
End Users. Entering into this EULA is Your consent to the installation and operation of automatically
activated Software. You will only incur a Fee if You or an End User use automatically activated Software.
For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “use” means implementing a feature of that Software.

any combination confusingly similar to, or which incorporates in whole or in part, any of the
Trademarks.

otherwise, in or to the cPanel IP Rights.

exclusive property of cPanel or its licensors. You agree that You shall never oppose, seek to cancel, or

conflict with or compromise the ownership of the cPanel IP Rights, or similarly affect the value of the
cPanel IP Rights. Whenever requested by cPanel, You shall execute such documents as cPanel may
deem necessary or appropriate to confirm, maintain or perfect the ownership of the cPanel IP Rights.

the Software. The limited warranty in this Section 6.2 shall not apply (a) to any Educational License,
Non-Profit License or Trial Version License; (b) if Your version of the Software is a Beta Version; (c) if
the Software has been altered in any way by a party other than cPanel; (d) the Software’s third party
components; or (e) if any failure or error arises out of use of the Software with anything other than a
cPanel recommended hardware and software configuration. Any misuse, accident, abuse, modification
or misapplication of the Software will void the limited warranty in this Section 6.2.

6.2.1 Beta or Edge Software.

If Software is designated by cPanel as “Beta” or “Edge,” the Software and/or documentation


provided with the Software that is designated by cPanel as “Beta” or “Edge” is believed to
contain defects. For the purposes of this EULA, both Beta and Edge Software are referred to
as a “Beta Version.” It is Your sole and exclusive obligation to secure Your computing
environment to ensure that Your use of the Software and/or documentation does not damage
Your business.

For Software designated by cPanel as “Beta” or “Edge,” on the Effective Date, we grant to You
a no charge, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, license to use the Software
solely for Your internal testing and evaluation purposes to determine its suitability and the
presence of bugs and other items that may detract from its effectiveness (Beta Test). The
Software shall be used only for the purposes of testing and evaluation.

You may use the Software, and any documentation provided with it, for a period of 90 days
beginning on the Effective Date (Beta Term). At the conclusion of the Beta Term, You will be
required to change Your license type to a different license. cPanel may, but has no obligation
to, extend the Beta Term at its discretion. cPanel may terminate this Agreement at any time
upon written notice to You even prior to the expiration of the Beta Term. If cPanel chooses to
terminate a Beta product, it will provide You with 7 days prior written email notice. Following
the Beta term, cPanel may, at its discretion, move the Software to a production environment.
Upon the end of a Beta Version, Your ability to use the Software will be suspended. You will
have no access to the data associated with the Beta Version.

As consideration for cPanel granting to You a license to use the Beta Version, You agree to
notify cPanel of all problems and ideas for enhancements which come to Your attention during
Your use. While using the Beta Version and, from time-to-time on cPanel’s request, You will
provide cPanel written evaluations, including, but not limited to, surveys of the Beta Version
by the date cPanel requests (Evaluations). The Evaluations will be provided in the format
cPanele chooses. Your continued use of the Beta Version is expressly contingent on Your
providing the Evaluations to cPanel in a timely and complete manner. As further consideration
for granting You the license to use the Beta Version, You may be required to agree to receive
marketing and other communications from cPanel and/or its partners. If this is the case, You
may choose to refuse to receive such communications by not installing the Beta Version.

You assign all right, title and interest in the Evaluations, including, but not limited to, any and
all ideas, inventions, processes, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, mask works, trademarks,
moral rights, or any other intellectual property rights contained in the Evaluation, or which
may be reasonably extrapolated from the Evaluation. The sole consideration for this
assignment is cPanel’s license of the Beta Version to for Your use, pursuant to this Agreement.

transfer, delegation, sale or other disposition in contravention of this Section 9.8, including, without
limitation, by operation of law, is null and void.

hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as, but not limited to, the
operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communications systems, air traffic
control, weapons systems, health care facilities or operations (including, but not limited to,
physician’s offices), or any other software, system or service, in which the failure, or non-
operation of the Software for any period of time, could lead, directly or indirectly, to death,
personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage. cPanel and any third parties
providing technology incorporated into the Software specifically disclaim any express or
implied warranties of fitness for such activities.

10.2.1 Content Ownership.

10.2.1.1 The Software provides You or Your End Users with the ability to upload User Content.
User Content includes, but is not limited to, text, photos, images, music, audio, videos, fonts, logos
and any other material. To the extent the User Content is owned by You, or End Users, You own
the exclusive Intellectual Property Rights in it. When User Content is provided to us, a non-
exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable right and
license to use, host, store reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, communicate, publish,
publicly display, publicly perform and distribute it for the purposes of operating the Software is
granted to cPanel and any third parties who need such a license for the Software to operate. To
the extent You or End Users cannot provide this license to us, or any third party cPanel uses to
provide the Software, You agree to indemnify cPanel as set out in this EULA.

10.2.1.2 It is Your, or the End User’s, sole and exclusive obligation to determine that the User
Content complies with the terms of this EULA. The entity that provides cPanel with the User
Content represents and warrants that it owns all rights to it, of if not owned, a current, and
continuing, license to use, share display, transfer and license the User Content in the manner set
out in this EULA, and in the documentation associated with the Software. It is expressly
understood that the User Content will be made public, and is for the purpose of creating a public
website. Further, You will promptly obtain, and upon cPanel’s request provide to us, confirmation
that You have received all “Required Consents.” “Required Consents” are any consents or
approvals required to give us, and if necessary, cPanel’s subcontractors, the right or license to
access, use and/or modify, User Content. If You fail to provide cPanel with the Required Consents,
and cPanel is unable to perform the Services as a result, You will remain responsible for the Fees
accrued to this point.

10.2.1.3 The entity providing the User Content represents and warrants that the use of the User
Content by the Software, and transmission, if applicable to third parties, does not, and will not,

secrets, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights.

10.2.1.4 The user of the Software is solely and exclusively responsible for the products and services
provided using the Software, and complying with any Applicable Laws or regulations associated
with such a use.
10.2.1.5 Claims made against cPanel based on allegations of violations of Intellectual Property
Rights as a result of User Content, or use of the Software, are not subject to the Limitation of
Liability, if any, applicable to You set out in the EULA. In addition, You, or the End User, agree to
indemnify cPanel to the full extent of the law as set out in this EULA.

10.2.2 Integrations. The Software provides integration with various third party services
(Integrations). Integrations may make content, services, products and software available to You.
cPanel may receive a revenue share from Your use of Integrations. Providers of Integrations will
have their own terms of use, and Your use of the Integrations will be governed by them. Providers
of Integrations may also have their own privacy policies and use data differently than the Software.
It’s Your obligation to review these and ensure that You can comply with them, and that their use
of data meets Your expectations and legal obligations. Integrations are provided at cPanel’s
discretion. cPanel has no liability whatsoever for discontinuing to provide them, or a change in
cPanel’s Software that results in diminishing, or discontinuing, their use.

10.2.3 cPanel Templates. The Software includes design elements that facilitate the creation of a
web presence (Templates). Templates include, but are not limited to, layouts, overlays,
photographs, fonts, images, and text. cPanel owns, or has the right to use, the Templates.
Provided that You pay the fees and otherwise comply with the terms of this EULA, cPanel hereby
grants You a limited, non-exclusive, transferable, sub licensable license to use, copy, modify, or
create derivative works based on the Templates generated as a result of Your use of the software,
including generated websites, and designs as long as an active subscription exists. The Templates
may only be used in conjunction with the Services, are not transferrable, may not be used to
compete with cPanel or any company affiliated with cPanel, and will be disabled upon Termination
of this EULA. There can be no claim against cPanel, or any entity affiliated with cPanel, that a
change in the Templates, or the cessation of the ability to use any aspect of them, or the Templates
in their entirety, has damaged Your or an End User’s business. cPanel’s sole and exclusive liability
for a claim that it does not have the right to license the Templates to You or an End User, is to
secure the rights for You to use the Template, or if that is not feasible, in cPanel’s sole and exclusive
discretion, refund the fee attributable to the Template, paid for the period in which such a use was
not feasible.

10.3.4 Compliance with the law. Operating a website requires complying with complex laws and
regulations. It is Your obligation to determine which laws apply to the use of the Software, and
the end results. Compliance includes, but is not limited to, data protection and security laws,
privacy laws that apply both to the use of the Software, and operation of websites and processing
of data both in the jurisdiction in which contracting parties and end users are based, “cookie” laws,
marketing laws and regulations, as well as industry specific regulations such as HIPAA. Under no
circumstances shall the Software be used to create of facilitate the operation of websites that
market to individuals under the age of 18 years old, to disseminate pornographic images or text,
or to market or distribute products or substances that are controlled by U.S. Federal law. A
determination that the use of the Software is in violation of this paragraph shall be committed to
the sole and exclusive discretion of cPanel.

10.3.5 Communication. Use of the Software requires that You maintain with us, and on any
resulting website, a working means of receiving communication about Your website. At a
minimum, this shall include an email address that is monitored daily and a telephone number
capable of receiving phone calls and recording voice mail.

10.3.6 Intellectual Property and Abuse Compliance. You will respect the intellectual property of
others and respond to notices of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights or other
abuse. Your response will be expeditious, comprehensible, and documented. cPanel reserves the
right to terminate the use of the Software if it determines it is being used in violation of recognized
intellectual property rights, or is being used in a way that cPanel, in its sole and exclusive discretion,
determine to be abuse.

Technical and Organization Security Measures

This Schedule describes the technical and organizational security measures and procedures that the Data Importer
shall, as a minimum, maintain to protect the security of personal data created, collected, received, or otherwise
obtained. Data Importer will keep documentation of technical and organizational measures identified below to
facilitate audits and for the conservation of evidence.

1. Access Control to Processing Areas

Data Importer implements suitable measures in order to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the
data processing equipment where the personal data are processed or used. This is accomplished by:

• establishing security areas; 24 hours security service provided by property owner;

• protection and restriction of access paths;

• securing the data processing equipment;

• establishing access authorizations for staff and third parties, including the respective documentation;

• regulations on card-keys;

• all access to the data center where personal data are hosted is logged, monitored, and tracked; and

• the data center where personal data are hosted is secured by a security alarm system, and other
appropriate security measures.

2. Access Control to Data Processing Systems

Data Importer implements suitable measures to prevent its data processing systems from being used by
unauthorized persons. This is accomplished by:

• identification of the terminal and/or the terminal user to the Data Importer systems;

• automatic time-out of user terminal if left idle, identification and password required to reopen;
• automatic turn-off of the user ID when several erroneous passwords are entered, log file of events
(monitoring of break-in-attempts);

• issuing and safeguarding of identification codes;

• dedication of individual terminals and/or terminal users, identification characteristics exclusive to specific
functions;

• staff policies in respect of each staff access rights to personal data (if any), informing staff about their
obligations and the consequences of any violations of such obligations, to ensure that staff will only access
Personal Data and resources required to perform their job duties and training of staff on applicable privacy
duties and liabilities;

• all access to data content is logged, monitored, and tracked; and

• use of state of the art encryption technologies.

3. Access Control to Use Specific Areas of Data Processing Systems

Data Importer commits that the persons entitled to use its data processing system are only able to access the data
within the scope and to the extent covered by its access permission (authorization) and that Personal Data cannot
be read, copied or modified or removed without authorization. This shall be accomplished by:

• staff policies in respect of each staff member's access rights to the Personal Data;

• allocation of individual terminals and/or terminal user, and identification characteristics exclusive to
specific functions;

• monitoring capability in respect of individuals who delete, add or modify the personal data and at least
yearly monitoring and update of authorization profiles;

• release of Personal Data to only authorized persons;

• policies controlling the retention of backup copies; and

• use of state of the art encryption technologies.

4. Transmission Control

Data Importer implements suitable measures to prevent the personal data from being read, copied, altered or
deleted by unauthorized parties during the transmission thereof or during the transport of the data media. This is
accomplished by:

• use of state-of-the-art firewall and encryption technologies to protect the gateways and pipelines through
which the data travels;

• as far as possible, all data transmissions are logged, monitored and tracked; and

• monitoring of the completeness and correctness of the transfer of data (end-to-end check).

5. Input Control
Data Importer implements suitable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish whether and by
whom personal data have been input into data processing systems or removed. This is accomplished by:

• an authorization policy for the input of data into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and deletion
of stored data;

• authentication of the authorized personnel; individual authentication credentials such as user IDs that, once
assigned, cannot be re-assigned to another person (including subsequently);

• protective measures for the data input into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and deletion of
stored data;

• utilization of user codes (passwords) of at least eight characters or the system maximum permitted number
and modification at first use and thereafter at least every 90 days in case of processing of sensitive data;

• following a policy according to which all staff of Data Importer who have access to personal data processed
for Data Exporters shall reset their passwords at a minimum once in a 180 day period;

• providing that entries to data processing facilities (the rooms housing the computer hardware and related
equipment) are capable of being locked;

• automatic log-off of user ID's (requirement to re-enter password to use the relevant work station) that have
not been used for a substantial period of time;

• automatic deactivation of user authentication credentials (such as user IDs) in case the person is disqualified
from accessing personal data or in case of non-use for a substantial period of time (at least six months),
except for those authorized solely for technical management;

• proof established within Data Importer's organization of the input authorization; and

• electronic recording of entries.

6. Job Control

Data Importer ensures that personal data may only be processed in accordance with written instructions issued by
exporter. This is accomplished by:

• binding policies and procedures for Data Importer's employees.

Data Importer ensures that if security measures are adopted through external entities, it obtains written description
of the activities performed that guarantees compliance of the measures adopted with this document. Data Importer
further implements suitable measures to monitor its system administrators and to ensure that they act in accordance
with instructions received. This is accomplished by:

• individual appointment of system administrators;

• adoption of suitable measures to register system administrators' access logs and keep them secure,
accurate and unmodified for at least six months;

• yearly audits of system administrators' activity to assess compliance with assigned tasks, the instructions
received by importer and applicable laws; and
• keeping an updated list with system administrators' identification details (e.g., name, surname, function or
organizational area) and tasks assigned and providing it promptly to Data Exporters upon request.

7. Availability Control

Data Importer implements suitable measures to ensure that personal data are protected from accidental destruction
or loss. This is accomplished by:

• infrastructure redundancy to ensure data access is restored within seven days and backup performed at
least weekly;

• tape backup is stored off-site and available for restore in case of failure of SAN infrastructure for Database
server;

• only the Data Exporters may authorize the recovery of backups (if any) or the movement of data outside of
the location where the physical database is held, and security measures will be adopted to avoid loss or
unauthorized access to data, when moved;

• regular check of all the implemented and herein described security measures at least every six months;

• backup tapes are only re-used if information previously contained is not intelligible and cannot be re-
constructed by any technical means; other removable media is destroyed or made unusable if not used;
and

• any detected security incident is recorded, alongside the followed data recovery procedures, and the
identification of the person who carried them out.

8. Separation of processing for different purposes

Data Importer implements suitable measures to ensure that data collected for different purposes can be processed
separately. This is accomplished by:

• access to data is separated through application security for the appropriate users;

• modules within the Data Importer's data base separate which data is used for which purpose, i.e., by
functionality and function;

• at the database level, data is stored in different areas, separated per module or function they support; and

• interfaces, batch processes and reports are designed for only specific purposes and functions, so data
collected for specific purposes is processed separately.

9. Data Importer system administrators (if any)

Data importer implements suitable measures to monitor its system administrators and to ensure that they act in
accordance with instructions received. This is accomplished by:

• individual appointment of system administrators;

• adoption of suitable measures to register system administrators' access logs and keep them secure,
accurate and unmodified for at least six months;
• continuous audits of system administrators' activity to assess compliance with assigned tasks, the
instructions received by importer and applicable laws; and

• keeping an updated list with system administrators' identification details (e.g., name, surname, function or
organizational area) and tasks assigned and providing it promptly to data exporter upon request.

SECTION II – OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

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 organizational
measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.

8.1 Instructions.

(a) 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.

(b) 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 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.

(a) The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate

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 organizational 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.

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.

(d) 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

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:

(i) 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;

(ii) 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;

from an agreed list. The data importer shall specifically inform the data exporter in writing of any intended
changes to that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least thirty days in advance,
thereby giving the data exporter sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the
engagement of the 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.

(b) 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.

(c) The data importer shall provide, at the data exporter’s request, a copy of such a sub-processor agreement

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

14. Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clauses.

(a) 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 authorizing 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.

(b) The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in
particular of the following elements:
(i) 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;

(ii) the laws and practices of the third country of destination - including those requiring the disclosure of
data to public authorities or authorizing access by such authorities - relevant in light of the specific
circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards;

(iii) any relevant contractual, technical or organizational 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.

(c) 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.

(d) 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).

(e) 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 organizational 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.

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

15.1 Notification.

(a) 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:

(i) 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

(ii) 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.
(b) 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.

(c) 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.).

(d) 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.

(e) 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 minimization.

(a) 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).

(b) 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.

(c) 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

16. Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination.

(a) The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for
whatever reason.

(b) 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).

(c) The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of
personal data under these Clauses, where:
(i) 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;

(ii) the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or

(iii) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.

17. Governing law. These Clauses shall be governed by the law of one of the EU Member States, provided such
law allows for third-party beneficiary rights. The Parties agree that this shall be the law of Republic of
Ireland.

18. Choice of forum and jurisdiction.

(a) Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of an EU Member State.

(b) The Parties agree that those shall be the courts of Republic of Ireland.

(c) A data subject may also bring legal proceedings against the data exporter and/or data importer before the
courts of the Member State in which he/she has his/her habitual residence.

(d) The Parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of such courts.
