Data Processing Addendum

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.

1.3The 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;
• it is able to document and evidence its compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws;
• no Subscriber Personal Data provided or transferred to FormAssembly constitutes a special category of Personal Data pursuant to Article 9 of the GDPR or Personal Data relating to criminal convictions and offences pursuant to Article 10 of the GDPR;
• 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), unless required to do otherwise by EU law or the national law of an EU member state to which FormAssembly is subject. In which event, FormAssembly shall inform Subscriber of the legal requirement before processing Subscriber Personal Data other than in accordance with Subscriber’s instructions, unless that applicable law prohibits FormAssembly from doing so. 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

At Subscriber’s cost, FormAssembly agrees to provide such assistance reasonably required by Subscriber to enable Subscriber to respond to any request, complaint, or binding instruction that is received from: (a) any living individual whose Personal Data is processed by FormAssembly on Subscriber’s behalf; (b) any regulator or data protection authority; (c) any independent recourse mechanism that Subscriber elects to adopt under the Privacy Shield or any arbitration panel set up under the Privacy Shield Framework.

4. Data Transfers

4.1 FormAssembly shall not process Subscriber Personal Data outside the EEA (including by way of remote access) without the prior written consent of Subscriber.

4.2 Subscriber hereby consents to Subscriber Personal Data being processed outside the EEA, subject to FormAssembly’s compliance with Section 4.3 and Section 4.4 below throughout the duration of the Agreement.

4.3 To the extent that Subscriber Personal Data is processed outside the EEA and/or Switzerland,

• 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.

6. General Terms

6.1 Nothing in this Exhibit reduces FormAssembly’s obligations under the Agreement in relation to the protection of Subscriber Personal Data or permits FormAssembly to process (or permit the processing of) Subscriber Personal Data in a manner which is prohibited by the Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Exhibit and the EU Model Clauses, the EU Model Clauses shall prevail.

6.2 Subject to Section 6.1, with regard to the subject matter of this Exhibit, in the event of inconsistencies between the provisions of this Exhibit and any other agreements between the parties, including the Agreement and including (except where explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, signed on behalf of the parties) agreements entered into or purported to be entered into after the date of this Exhibit, the provisions of this Exhibit shall prevail.

6.3 Either party may by at least 30 calendar days’ written notice to the other from time to time propose any variations to this Exhibit which that party reasonably considers to be necessary to address the requirements of the Data Protection Laws. If such notice is given, the parties shall promptly discuss the proposed variations and negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations designed to address the requirements identified in the notice as soon as reasonably practicable.

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.

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.
