loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular
where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network,
and against all other unlawful forms of processing, and that these
measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks presented

regard to the state of the art and the cost of their implementation;
-
that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;
-
that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data

-
to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in

exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate
the contract;
-
that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it
prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data
exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event
of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial
adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the
Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as
soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to
suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
-
that it has implemented the technical and organisational security
measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data
transferred;

the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory
authority;
-
to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses,
or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract

summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data
subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;
-
that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data
exporter and obtained its prior written consent;

Liability
-
The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a
result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in
Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive
compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
-
If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in
accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a
breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their
obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data
exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has
become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may
issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data
exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal
obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in
which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its
obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
-
If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data
exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2,
arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations
referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter
and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in
law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data
subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to
its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data
exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed
the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by
contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can
enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the
subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under
the Clauses.
Clause 7
Mediation and jurisdiction
-
The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it
third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages
under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the
data subject:

to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or,
where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
-
to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which
the data exporter is established.
-
The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not
prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in
accordance with other provisions of national or international law.
Clause 8
Cooperation with supervisory authorities
-
The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the
supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required
under the applicable data protection law.
-
The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to
conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which
has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply
to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection
law.
-
The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the
existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor
preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any
subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter
shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data
exporter is established.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not
preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where
required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Subprocessing
-
The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing
operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses
without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data
importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the
consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written
agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on
the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses.
Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations
under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully
liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's
obligations under such agreement.
-
The prior written contract between the data importer and the
subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as
laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to
bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6
against the data exporter or the data importer because they have
factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become
insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal
obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by
operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall
be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
-
The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of
the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of
the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
-
The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements
concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant
to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list
shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory
authority.
Clause 12
Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
-
The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data
processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at
the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data
transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall
destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it
has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents
it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data
transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will
guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will
not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
-
The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the
data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its
data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in
paragraph 1.
