We may update the list of Sub-Processors from time to time and, subject to clause 5, we will give at least 30 days’ written notice of any new Sub-Processor (Change Notice). 

6.5 We may engage Sub-Processors as needed to serve as an Emergency Replacement to maintain and support the Website and supply of Products. Emergency Replacement means a sudden replacement of a Sub-Processor where a change is outside our reasonable control.  In this case, we will inform you of the replacement Sub-Processor as soon as reasonably practicable.

6.6 You may object to any new Sub-Processor on reasonable grounds by notifying us within 10 days of receipt of a Change Notice. Your notice of objection to any new Sub-Processor must explain the reasonable grounds for your objection.  The parties must discuss your concerns about the new Sub-Processor in good faith with a view to resolve the objection to the use of the new Sub-Processor in a commercially reasonable manner.  If it is not possible to resolve the objection, and we do not revoke the Change Notice before the date the Change Notice takes effect, you may, despite anything to the contrary in the Terms, terminate the Terms and your right to access and use the Website or supply of Products under the Terms that cannot be provided to you without that new Sub-Processor.  If you do not terminate the Terms and your right to access and use the Website or supply of Products in accordance with this clause, you are deemed to have agreed to the new Sub-Processor.

6.6 We are liable for the acts and omissions of our Sub-Processors to the same extent we would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-Processor directly under the terms of this Addendum, except as otherwise set out in this Addendum.

7. SECURITY

We will maintain technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and security of Personal Data (including protection against unauthorised or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data), and to manage data security incidents affecting Personal Data, in accordance with our security requirements on our website. 

8 SECURITY BREACH MANAGEMENT

8.1 We will comply with all applicable laws requiring notification to you of any accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to Personal Data Processed by us or our Sub-Processors of which we become aware (Breach Incident).

8.2 We will make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of that Breach Incident, notify you within a timely manner to allow you to meet your obligations to report a Breach Incident, cooperate with you in good faith and provide any assistance reasonably necessary for you to comply with your obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to a Breach Incident, including any obligations you have under Applicable Data Protection Laws to report, notify or investigate a Breach Incident, and take steps we consider necessary and reasonable to remediate the cause of the Breach Incident, to the extent remediation is within our reasonable control.

9 AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE

Upon your written request, we will, at your cost, submit to your audits and inspections, and provide you all information necessary, to demonstrate that both you and we are complying with our respective obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws (including our respective obligations under Article 28 of the GDPR).

10 DATA PROTECTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Upon your written request, we will, at your cost, provide you with reasonable assistance needed to fulfil your obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws to carry out a data protection impact assessment relating to your use and access of the Website, to the extent you do not otherwise have access to the relevant information.

11 RETURN AND DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA

11.1 Subject to clauses 11.2 and 11.3, following termination of the Terms we will delete all Personal Data within a reasonable period from termination of the Terms.

b. delete all other copies of Personal Data Processed by us or any Sub-Processor.

11.3 We, or each Sub-Processor, may retain Personal Data to the extent that it is required by applicable laws, provided that we ensure the confidentiality of all such Personal Data and ensure that such Data is only processed as necessary for the purposes required under applicable laws requiring its Processing and for no other purpose.

11.4 If we cannot delete all Personal Data due to technical reasons, we will inform you as soon as reasonably practicable and will take reasonably necessary steps to:

a. come as close as possible to a complete and permanent deletion of the Personal Data;

b. fully and effectively anonymise the remaining data; and

c. make the remaining Personal Data which is not deleted or effectively anonymised unavailable for future Processing.

12 CHANGES IN DATA PROTECTION LAWS

12.1 We may on at least 30 days' written notice to you from time to time, make any variations to this Addendum, which we consider (acting reasonably) are required as a result of any change in, or decision of a competent authority under, Applicable Data Protection Laws, to allow transfers and Processing of Personal Data to continue without breach of Applicable Data Protection Law

12.2 If you object to any variation under clause 12.1 on reasonable grounds, you may, despite anything to the contrary in the Terms, terminate the Terms and your right to access and use the Website or supply of Products without penalty on written notice, provided your notice of termination is received by us before the effective date of our notice. If you do not terminate the Terms and your right to access and use the Website or supply of Products in accordance with this clause, you are deemed to have agreed to the variation. 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The liability of each party to the other party under or in connection with this Addendum is subject to the limitations and exclusions set out in the Terms, and any reference in the Terms to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party under the Terms and this Addendum together.

14 GENERAL

If any provision of this Addendum is, or becomes unenforceable, illegal or invalid for any reason, the relevant provision is deemed to be varied to the extent necessary to remedy the unenforceability, illegality or invalidity.  If variation is not possible, the provision must be treated as severed from this Addendum without affecting any other provisions of this Addendum.
