Data Processing Agreement

This Data Processing Addendum forms part of the Master Subscription Agreement or other written or electronic agreement (the Agreement) between FormAssembly and Subscriber for the purchase of the FormAssembly Service. Capitalized terms not defined in this Exhibit or the attached Schedules shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1. DATA PROTECTION.

1.1 FormAssembly (the data processor) is appointed by Subscriber (the data controller) to process Subscriber Personal Data on behalf of Subscriber (a User, or an Affiliate of Subscriber, as applicable) only as is necessary to provide the Services and as may subsequently be agreed by the parties in writing. 

1.2 Each party shall comply with its respective obligations under the Data Protection Laws as a data controller or a data processor (as applicable) in respect of the processing of Subscriber Personal Data under or in relation to the Agreement. 

1.3 The categories of Subscriber Personal Data to be processed by FormAssembly and the processing activities to be performed under this Agreement are set out in Schedule 1. Subscriber has sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality and legality of Subscriber Personal Data and warrants and represents that:

• it has complied with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws in respect of the collection, use, and transfer of Subscriber Personal Data and will identify and inform FormAssembly of any other data controller in respect of the Subscriber Personal Data. Specifically, Subscriber acknowledges that its use of the Services will not violate the rights of any Data Subject that has opted-out from sales or other disclosures of Personal Data, to the extent applicable under the CCPA.
• it is able to document and evidence its compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws;
• it is authorized to give instructions and otherwise act on behalf of  its Users or Affiliates in relation to such Subscriber Personal Data and to bind its Users or Affiliates to the terms of this Exhibit; and
• the quantity of Subscriber Personal Data provided to FormAssembly is the minimum necessary for the performance of the Services pursuant to the Agreement.

1.4 FormAssembly agrees in respect to Subscriber Personal Data that it shall, in all material respects:

• only process Subscriber Personal Data in accordance with this Exhibit and the Agreement (and not otherwise unless alternative processing instructions are agreed between the parties in writing). If FormAssembly believes that any instruction received by it from Subscriber is likely to infringe the Data Protection Laws it shall promptly notify Subscriber and shall be entitled to cease to provide the relevant Services until the parties have agreed appropriate amended instructions such that the relevant Services are not infringing;
• implement, maintain, and comply with the minimum security requirements set out in Schedule 3. Subscriber agrees that FormAssembly may from time to time, upon reasonable prior written notice, change the minimum security requirements set out in Schedule 3, provided that any such changes do not materially reduce the level of security and protection for Subscriber Personal Data required pursuant to clause 1.4.7; 
• not publish, disclose, or divulge Subscriber Personal Data to a third party unless Subscriber has given its prior written consent;
• ensure that only those FormAssembly personnel who may be required by FormAssembly to assist FormAssembly in meeting its obligations under this Agreement will have access to Subscriber Personal Data, that such FormAssembly personnel, prior to such access, meet and remain in compliance with the requirements detailed in the Privacy and Confidentiality of Information section of the Agreement, and take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of such FormAssembly personnel;
• at Subscriber’s cost and taking into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable cooperation to Subscriber to allow Subscriber (or an Affiliate of Subscriber to comply with its obligations as a Data Controller; and
• at the Subscriber’s cost and the Subscriber’s option, following the end of the provision of Services pursuant to the Agreement, either return or delete all Subscriber Personal Data in the possession or control of FormAssembly, except to the extent that any applicable law requires FormAssembly to store or retain copies of such Subscriber Personal Data. For the avoidance of doubt, this requirement to return or delete Subscriber Personal Data shall not apply to Subscriber Personal Data which is archived on FormAssembly’s back-up systems; and
• provide an adequate level of security and protection for Subscriber Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Laws.

1.5 FormAssembly may appoint third parties to process Subscriber Personal Data (“Subprocessors”) subject to FormAssembly:

• providing reasonable prior notice to Subscriber of the identity and location of the Subprocessor and a description of the intended processing to be carried out by the Subprocessor reasonably sufficient to enable Subscriber to evaluate any material risks to Subscriber Personal Data; and
• imposing legally binding contract terms on the Subprocessor which are the same as those contained in this Exhibit including the referenced Schedules.

1.6 Within 30 days of being informed of the appointment of the new Subprocessor, Subscriber may object to the appointment in writing to FormAssembly. If Subscriber objects, FormAssembly shall use its reasonable endeavors to resolve Subscriber’s objection. If Subscriber’s objection cannot be reasonably accommodated, either party may terminate the Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice. This is Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy.

1.7 Subscriber authorizes the appointment of the Subprocessors listed:  

• Amazon Web Services. 

1.8 FormAssembly acknowledges and agrees that it shall remain liable to Subscriber for a breach of the terms of this Agreement by a Subprocessor appointed by it.

1.9 FormAssembly shall, in accordance with the Data Protection Laws, make available to Subscriber upon reasonable request such information that is in FormAssembly’s possession or control as is necessary to demonstrate FormAssembly’s compliance with this Exhibit (including the referenced Schedules) and to demonstrate compliance with the obligations on each party imposed by Article 28 of the GDPR (and under any equivalent Data Protection Laws equivalent to that Article 28).

1.10 Subject to a maximum of one audit request in any 12 month period, FormAssembly shall, upon reasonable prior notice, allow for and contribute to audits conducted by Subscriber (or another auditor mandated by Subscriber) for the purpose set out in Section 1.9, provided Subscriber (or such other auditor mandated by Subscriber) are bound by appropriate obligations of confidentiality. For the purpose set out in Section 1.9, Subscriber may perform an on-site audit, at its own expense, if and only if (a) FormAssembly notifies Subscriber of a Security Breach, (b) Subscriber reasonably believes FormAssembly is not in compliance with its data security obligations under this Exhibit including the referenced Schedules, or (c) an on-site audit is required by the Data Protection Laws. To extent permissible under the Data Protection Laws, FormAssembly may satisfy an audit request by providing Subscriber with a copy of an independent audit report (which may be redacted as reasonably necessary to ensure confidentiality).

2. SECURITY BREACHES

FormAssembly shall notify Subscriber without undue delay of becoming aware of any confirmed accidental, unauthorized, or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure of, or access to, Subscriber Personal Data (“Security Breach”).

3. COOPERATION

4.3 To the extent that Subscriber Personal Data is processed outside the European Union, the European Economic Area and/or their member states, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom,

• the terms of the transfer shall be governed by the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors, approved by Commission Decision C(2010)593, or any replacement clauses approved by the Commission from time to time (the “EU Model Clauses”) attached as Schedule 2, which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that Subscriber is entering into the EU Model Clauses on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Affiliates of Subscriber. FormAssembly further agrees to enter into the EU Model Clauses with any other Affiliates of Subscriber on request.

4.4 If, for whatever reason, the transfer of Subscriber Personal Data under Section 4.3 above ceases to be lawful, the parties shall use reasonable endeavors to promptly implement an alternative lawful transfer mechanism.

5. LIABILITY

5.1 Each party’s liability for one or more breaches of this Exhibit shall be subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Agreement.  In no event shall either party’s liability for a breach of  this  Exhibit  exceed  the  liability  cap  set  out  in  the  Agreement.  

5.2 Neither party limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Liability

1. 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.
2. 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.

3. 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

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:

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

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

Clause 8

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

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. 
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.
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 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

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 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.
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 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. 
3. 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.
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.

Clause 12

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

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.
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 paragraph 1.
