  1. Authorized Subprocessors

4.1 Client acknowledges and agrees that Kustomer may (1) engage the Authorized Subprocessors listed on Kustomer’s website at https://www.kustomer.com/compliance/subprocessors/ on the Effective Date (each a “Current Subprocessor”) to access and Process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time after the Effective Date engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the Processing of Personal Data.

4.3 Kustomer shall, by way of contract or other legal act under applicable law (including without limitation approved codes of conduct and standard contractual clauses), ensure that every Authorized Subprocessor is subject to data protection obligations regarding the Processing of Personal Data that are no less protective than those in this Addendum to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Authorized Subprocessor.

  1. Transfers of Personal Data

6.1 Any transfer of Personal Data made subject to this Addendum from member states of the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom to the United States or any other Third Country (collectively, “Transferred Personal Data”) shall, to the extent such Transferred Personal Data is subject to such Applicable Data Protection Laws, be undertaken by Kustomer in accordance with (a) the Standard Contractual Clauses, or (b) an alternative recognised compliance standard, including any new version of, or successor to, the Standard Contractual Clauses or Privacy Shield Framework adopted pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Laws (where Kustomer has adopted such alternative recognised compliance standard) (“Alternative Transfer Solution”).

6.2 This Addendum hereby incorporates by reference the EU Transfer Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. For the avoidance of doubt, each party’s signature or other form of acceptance to this Addendum or the Agreement shall be deemed to constitute its respective signature and acceptance of both sets of Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated herein, including their appendices and annexes set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. The parties agree that (i) purely for the purposes of the descriptions in the Standard Contractual Clauses, Kustomer shall comply with the “data importer” obligations and Client shall comply with the “data exporter” obligations in the Standard Contractual Clauses (notwithstanding that Client may be located outside Europe and/or Client may be acting as a processor on behalf of third party controllers); (ii) with respect to subprocessing, Kustomer may commission Authorized Subprocessors, in accordance with Section 4 of this Addendum, to Process the Client’s Personal Data in a Third Country, in which case Kustomer shall execute the Processor to Processor Clauses with any relevant subcontractor (including Affiliates) it appoints on behalf of the Client (with the processing details set out in Schedule 1 of this Addendum (Details of Processing) and the technical and organisational security measures set out in the subcontractor’s relevant information security documentation from time to time applying for the purposes of Annex II or Part 1 of the Standard Contractual Clauses (as relevant)) with any relevant subcontractor (including Affiliates) it appoints on behalf of the Data Controller; and (iii) it is not the intention of either party to contradict or restrict any of the provisions set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses and, accordingly, if and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of the Agreement (including this Addendum), the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail to the extent of such conflict. The parties may also agree to separately execute a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses, in which case, such signed Standard Contractual Clauses shall govern.

6.3 In the event that the Services are covered by more than one recognised compliance standard as an adequate and lawful transfer mechanism with respect to Transferred Personal Data, then such Transferred Personal Data will be subject to a single transfer mechanism in accordance with the following order of precedence: (a) an Alternative Transfer Solution (where Kustomer has adopted such alternative recognised compliance standard and only to the extent such Alternative Transfer Solution complies with Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to such Transferred Personal Data); and (b) the Standard Contractual Clauses. If requested by Kustomer, Client agrees that it shall promptly take any action (including, without limitation, electronic acknowledgement or execution of documents) reasonably required for Kustomer to continue to process the Personal Data as contemplated by this Addendum in compliance with the Applicable Data Protection Laws, including to give full effect to an Alternative Transfer Solution or the Standard Contractual Clauses.

6.4 If and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses are no longer recognized by the European Commission, Switzerland, the UK or other applicable local privacy authorities as an adequate and lawful transfer mechanism with respect to Transferred Personal Data, then Kustomer will promptly adopt and will abide by an Alternative Transfer Solution; provided, however, that if, after commercially reasonable efforts, Kustomer is unable to comply with an Alternative Transfer Solution, the parties shall promptly discuss in good faith mutually agreeable additional supplementary, technical, contractual and/or policy measures for Kustomer to undertake to ensure the Transferred Personal Data is protected to a standard equivalent to that afforded by Applicable Data Protection Laws or, if the parties are unable to mutually agree on such additional measures, Client or Kustomer may, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice (including email) to the other party terminate the Agreement and affected Orders and Client shall be entitled a refund from Kustomer or the reseller, as applicable, of the pro-rata amount of any subscription fees actually pre-paid to Kustomer covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the effective date of termination.

7.2 Kustomer shall, at the request of the Client, and taking into account the nature of the Processing applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Client in complying with Client’s obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Client is itself unable to respond without Kustomer’s assistance and (ii) Kustomer is able to do so in accordance with all Applicable Data Protection Laws and other applicable legal requirements.

8.5 Promptly following a Personal Data Breach, Kustomer shall take such steps as Kustomer in its sole discretion deems necessary and reasonable to identify the cause of such Personal Data Breach and remediate such violation (to the extent that remediation is within Kustomer’s reasonable control) and to the extent possible, include such information in the notification of the Personal Data Breach to Client.

8.6 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Kustomer shall, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Kustomer, provide Client with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for Client to comply with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to notifying (i) the relevant Supervisory Authority and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.

8.7 The obligations described in Sections 8.5 and 8.6 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Client.

  1. Limitation of Liability
