5.4      Reviews and audits of compliance

5.4.1       Company may audit CrossLead’s compliance with its obligations under this Addendum up to once per year and on such other occasions as may be required by European Data Protection Legislation, including where mandated by Company’s Supervisory Authority. CrossLead will contribute to such audits by providing Company or Company’s Supervisory Authority with the information and assistance reasonably necessary to conduct the audit.

5.4.2       If a third party is to conduct the audit, CrossLead may object to the auditor if the auditor is, in CrossLead’s reasonable opinion, not independent, a competitor of CrossLead, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable.  Such objection by CrossLead will require Company to appoint another auditor or conduct the audit itself.

5.4.3       To request an audit, Company must submit a detailed proposed audit plan to CrossLead at least two weeks 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. CrossLead will review the proposed audit plan and provide Company with any concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise CrossLead security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). CrossLead will work cooperatively with Company to agree on a final audit plan.  Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall require CrossLead to breach any duties of confidentiality.  

5.4.4       If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are addressed in an SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified third party auditor within twelve (12) months of Company’s audit request and CrossLead has confirmed there are no known material changes in the controls audited. Company agrees to accept such report in lieu of requesting an audit of such controls or measures. 

5.4.5       The audit must be conducted during regular business hours, subject to the agreed final audit plan and CrossLead’s safety, security or other relevant policies, and may not unreasonably interfere with CrossLead business activities.

5.4.6       Company will promptly notify CrossLead of any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit and provide CrossLead any audit reports generated in connection with any audit under this Section 5.4, unless prohibited by European Data Protection Legislation or otherwise instructed by a Supervisory Authority. Company may use the audit reports only for the purposes of meeting Company’s regulatory audit requirements and/or confirming compliance with the requirements of this Addendum.

5.4.7       Any audits are at Company’s expense. Company shall reimburse CrossLead for any time expended by CrossLead or its Third Party Subprocessors in connection with any audits or inspections under this Section 5.4 at CrossLead’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Company upon request. Company will be responsible for any fees charged by any auditor appointed by Company to execute any such audit.  Nothing in this Addendum shall be construed to require CrossLead to furnish more information about its Third Party Subprocessors in a connection with such audits than such Third Party Subprocessors make generally available to their customers.  

6.              Impact assessments and consultations

CrossLead will (taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to CrossLead) reasonably assist Company in complying with its obligations under European Data Protection Legislation in respect of data protection impact assessments and prior consultation, including, if applicable, Company’s obligations pursuant to Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR, by (a) making available for review copies of the Security Documentation or other documentation describing relevant aspects of CrossLead’s information security program and the security measures applied in connection therewith; and (b) providing the other information contained in the Agreement including this Addendum.

During the Term, if CrossLead receives any request from a Data Subject in relation to the Data Subject’s Personal Data, CrossLead will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Company and Company will be responsible for responding to any such request.

7.2      CrossLead’s Data Subject request assistance. CrossLead will (taking into account the nature of the Processing of Personal Data) provide Company with self-service functionality through the Services or other reasonable assistance as necessary for Company to perform its obligation under European Data Protection Legislation to respond to requests by Data Subjects, including if applicable, Company’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the Data Subject’s rights set out in Chapter III of the GDPR.  Company shall reimburse CrossLead for any such assistance beyond providing self-service features included as part of the Services at CrossLead’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Company upon request.

8.              Data transfers

8.1      Data storage and Processing facilities. CrossLead may, subject to Section 8.2 (Transfers of Personal Data out of the EEA), store and Process Personal Data in the United States or anywhere CrossLead or its Subprocessors maintains facilities.

8.2       Transfers of Personal Data out of the EEA.

8.2.1       CrossLead’s transfer obligations. If Company is established in the EEA and CrossLead’s Processing of Personal Data involves transfers of Personal Data out of the EEA to CrossLead in a country not deemed by the European Commission to have adequate data protection, and the European Data Protection Legislation applies to such transfer, such transfer will be governed by the Model Contract Clauses.  For the purposes of the Model Contract Clauses, Company and CrossLead agree that (a) Company will act as the Data Exporter on its own behalf and on behalf of any of its Affiliates established in the EEA which are parties to the Agreement and (b) CrossLead will act as the Data Importer.   

8.2.2       Model Contract Clauses administration. The parties agree that (a) upon Data Exporter’s request under the Model Contract Clauses, Data Importer will provide the copies of the Subprocessor agreements that must be sent by the Data Importer to the Data Exporter pursuant to Clause 5(j) of the Model Contract Clauses, and that Data Importer may remove or redact all commercial information or clauses unrelated the Model Contract Clauses or their equivalent beforehand; (b) the audits described in Clause 5(f) and Clause 12(2) of the Model Contract Clauses shall be performed in accordance with Section 5.4 of this Addendum; (c) Company’s authorizations in Section 9.1 will constitute Company’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by CrossLead of the Processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under Clause 5(h) of the Model Contract Clauses; and (d) certification of deletion of Personal Data as described in Clause 12(1) of the Model Contract Clauses shall be provided only upon Company’s request.

8.2.3       Company’s transfer obligations. Company agrees that CrossLead may elect in its own discretion to use a Transfer Solution other than the Model Contract Clauses and that upon receipt of written notice of such election and the effectiveness of such other Transfer Solution, the Model Contract Clauses entered pursuant to Section 8.2.1 shall automatically terminate and become void. Company will take such action (which may include execution of documents) reasonably required by CrossLead to give full effect to such other Transfer Solution.

9.              Subprocessors

9.1      Consent to Subprocessor engagement. Company specifically authorizes the engagement of CrossLead’s Affiliates as Subprocessors. In addition, Company generally authorizes the engagement of any other third parties as Subprocessors (“Third Party Subprocessors”).

9.2      Information about Subprocessors. CrossLead will provide Company with information about Subprocessors, including their functions and locations, upon Company’s request

9.3      Requirements for Subprocessor engagement. When engaging any Subprocessor, CrossLead will enter into a written contract with such Subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this Addendum with respect to Personal Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Subprocessor. CrossLead shall be liable for all obligations subcontracted to, and all acts and omissions of, the Subprocessor.

9.4      Opportunity to object to Subprocessor changes.

When any new Third Party Subprocessor is engaged during the Term, CrossLead will notify Company of the engagement (including the name and location of the relevant Subprocessor and the activities it will perform) by providing an updated list of Subprocessors at www.crosslead.com. If Company objects to such engagement in a written notice to CrossLead within 15 days of being informed thereof on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Personal Data, Company and CrossLead will work together in good faith to find a mutually acceptable resolution to address such objection. If the parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution within a reasonable timeframe, Company may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to CrossLead.

10.           Notices

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, any notices required or permitted to be given by CrossLead to Company may be given (a) in accordance with the notice clause of the Agreement; (b) to CrossLead’s primary points of contact with Company; and/or (c) to any email provided by Company for the purpose of providing it with Service-related communications or alerts. Company is solely responsible for ensuring that such email addresses are valid.

11.           Effect of these terms

Except as expressly modified by the Addendum, the terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. To the extent of any conflict between this Addendum and the remaining terms of the Agreement, this Addendum will govern.

(e)              that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;

(f)               that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;

The data importer agrees and warrants:

(a)              to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions and the Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

(g)              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 contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of Appendix 2 which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;

(h)              that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent;

(i)               that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11;

6.3             The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.

6.4             If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in Clauses 6.1 and 6.2, 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.

7.                Mediation and jurisdiction

7.1             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:

(e)              to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

(f)               to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

7.2             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.

8.                Cooperation with supervisory authorities

8.1             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.

8.2             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.

8.3             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 Clause 8.2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5(b).

9.                Governing Law

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

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.

11.             Subprocessing

11.1           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 fulfill 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.

11.2           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 Clause 6.1 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.

11.3           The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in Clause 11.1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

11.4           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.

12.             Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

12.1           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.

12.2           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 Clause 12.1.

9.4             Basis of the Bargain.  THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN CROSSLEAD AND YOU.

10.      TERM AND TERMINATION.

10.1          Term.  The Terms commences on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Terms.

10.2          Prior Use.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you hereby acknowledge and agree that the Terms commenced on the earlier to occur of (a) the date you first used the Services or (b) the date you accepted the Terms and will remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Terms.

10.3          Termination. We may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Services (including your Account) at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the Services in violation of these Terms. Upon termination of your rights under these Terms, your Account and right to access and use the Services will terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of your Account may involve deletion of your User Content associated with your Account from our live databases. We will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of your rights under these Terms, including for termination of your Account or deletion of your User Content. ACCESS TO THE SERVICES WILL CONTINUE AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.5. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of your Account and Subscription, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.

11.      DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with CrossLead and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

11.1          Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with CrossLead, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or CrossLead may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).  This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of the Terms or any prior version of the Terms.

11.2          Arbitration Rules and Forum.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.  To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, CSC, 251 Little Falls Drive Wilmington, DE 19808-1674.  The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider.  Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/.  JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.  If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.  If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, CrossLead will pay them for you.  In addition, CrossLead will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

11.3          Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.  The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and CrossLead.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

11.4          Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND CROSSLEAD HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  You and CrossLead are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 11.1 above.  An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow the Terms as a court would.  However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

11.5          Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of Delaware.  All other claims shall be arbitrated.

11.6          30-Day Right to Opt Out.  You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: legal@crosslead.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you.  Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

11.7          Severability.  Except as provided in subsection 11.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

11.8          Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with CrossLead.

11.9          Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms to the contrary, we agree that if CrossLead makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing CrossLead at the following address: CrossLead, Inc., PO Box 34644, Washington, DC 20043.

12.6          Governing Law. THE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.  THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE TERMS.

12.7          Notice.  Where CrossLead requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing CrossLead with your most current e-mail address.  In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to CrossLead is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, CrossLead’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice.  You may give notice to CrossLead at the following address: CrossLead, Inc., P.O. Box 34644, Washington, DC 20043.  Such notice shall be deemed given when received by CrossLead by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.

12.8          Waiver.  Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

12.9          Severability.  If any portion of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

You also will not use the Services for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.  You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology provided by CrossLead are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States.  You shall comply with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer CrossLead products, services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations.

11.1 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 fulfill 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. 11.2 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 Clause 6.1 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.
