      1. Customer’s Security Responsibilities. Customer agrees that, without prejudice to atEvent’s obligations under Section 5.1 (atEvent’s Security Measures, Controls and Assistance) and Section 5.2 (Information Security Incidents):
         1. Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Services, including:
            1. making appropriate use of the Services to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in respect of the Customer Personal Data;
            2. securing the account authentication credentials, systems and devices Customer uses to access the Services;
            3. securing Customer’s systems and devices atEvent uses to provide the Services; and

         1. Customer is solely responsible for reviewing the Security Documentation and evaluating for itself whether the Services, the Security Measures and atEvent’s commitments under this Section 5 (Data Security) will meet Customer’s needs, including with respect to any security obligations of Customer under the European Data Protection Legislation.
         2. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing of Customer Personal Data as well as the risks to individuals) the Security Measures implemented and maintained by atEvent as set out in Section 5.1.1 (atEvent’s Security Measures) provide a level of security appropriate to the risk in respect of the Customer Personal Data.
   4. Reviews and Audits of Compliance
      1. Customer may audit atEvent’s compliance with its obligations under this Addendum up to once per year. In addition, to the extent required by European Data Protection Legislation, including where mandated by Customer’s supervisory authority, Customer or Customer’s supervisory authority may perform more frequent audits (including inspections). atEvent will contribute to such audits by providing Customer or Customer’s supervisory authority with the information and assistance reasonably necessary to conduct the audit, including any relevant records of processing activities applicable to the Services.
      2. If a third party is to conduct the audit, atEvent may object to the auditor if the auditor is, in atEvent’s reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of atEvent, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable.  Such objection by atEvent will require Customer to appoint another auditor or conduct the audit itself.
      3. To request an audit, Customer must submit a detailed proposed audit plan to Customer’s Customer Success Manager at least four weeks in advance of the proposed audit date. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration, and start date of the audit. atEvent will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise atEvent security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). atEvent will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan.  Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall require atEvent to breach any duties of confidentiality.   
      4. If the requested audit scope is addressed in an SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified third party auditor (“Audit Reports”) within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request and atEvent confirms there are no known material changes in the controls audited, Customer agrees to accept those findings in lieu of requesting an audit of the controls covered by the report. 
      5. The audit must be conducted during regular business hours at the applicable facility, subject to the agreed final audit plan and atEvent’s health and safety or other relevant policies, and may not unreasonably interfere with atEvent business activities.
      6. Customer will promptly notify atEvent of any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit and provide atEvent 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. Customer may use the audit reports only for the purposes of meeting Customer’s regulatory audit requirements and/or confirming compliance with the requirements of this Addendum. The audit reports are Confidential Information of the parties under the terms of the Agreement.
      7. Any audits are at Customer’s expense. Customer shall reimburse atEvent for any time expended by atEvent or its Third Party Subprocessors in connection with any audits or inspections under this Section 5.4 at atEvent’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request. Customer will be responsible for any fees charged by any auditor appointed by Customer to execute any such audit.
      8. The parties agree that this Section 5.4 shall satisfy atEvent’s obligations under the audit requirements of the Model Contractual Clauses applied to Data Importer under Clause 5(f) and to any Sub-processors under Clause 11 and Clause 12(2).
6. Impact Assessments and Consultations

   atEvent will (taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to atEvent) reasonably assist Customer in complying with its obligations under European Data Protection Legislation in respect of data protection impact assessments and prior consultation, including, if applicable, Customer’s obligations pursuant to Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR, by:

   1. Making available for review copies of the Audit Reports or other documentation describing relevant aspects of atEvent’s information security program and the security measures applied in connection therewith; and
   2. providing the information contained in the Agreement including this Addendum.
7. Data Subject Rights
   1. Customer’s Responsibility for Requests. During the Term, if atEvent receives any request from a data subject in relation to Customer Personal Data, atEvent will advise the data subject to submit their request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to any such request.
   2. atEvent’s Data Subject Request Assistance. atEvent will (taking into account the nature of the processing of Customer Personal Data) provide Customer with self-service functionality through the Services or other reasonable assistance as necessary for Customer to fulfil its obligation under European Data Protection Legislation to respond to requests by data subjects, including if applicable, Customer’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights set out in in Chapter III of the GDPR.  Customer shall reimburse atEvent for any such assistance beyond providing self-service features included as part of the Services at atEvent’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request.
8. Data Transfers
   1. Data Storage and Processing Facilities. atEvent may, subject to Section 8.2 (Transfers of Data Out of the EEA), store and process Customer Personal Data anywhere atEvent or its Subprocessors maintains facilities.
   2. Transfers of Data Out of the EEA.
      1. atEvent’s Transfer Obligations. If the storage and/or processing of Customer Personal Data (as set out in Section 8.1 (Data Storage and Processing Facilities)) involves transfers of Customer Personal Data out of the EEA or Switzerland, and the European Data Protection Legislation applies to the transfers of such data (“Transferred Personal Data”), atEvent will make such transfers in accordance with a Transfer Solution, and make information available to Customer about such Transfer Solution upon request.
      2. Customer’s Transfer Obligations. In respect of Transferred Personal Data, Customer agrees that if under European Data Protection Legislation atEvent reasonably requires Customer to enter into Model Contract Clauses or use another Transfer Solution offered by atEvent, and reasonably requests that Customer take any action (which may include execution of documents) required to give full effect to such solution, Customer will do so.
   3. Disclosure of Confidential Information Containing Personal Data. If Customer has entered into Model Contract Clauses as described in Section 8.2 (Transfers of Data Out of the EEA), atEvent will, notwithstanding any term to the contrary in the Agreement, make any disclosure of Customer’s Confidential Information containing personal data, and any notifications relating to any such disclosures, in accordance with such Model Contract Clauses. For the purposes of the Model Contract Clauses, Customer and atEvent agree that (i) Customer will act as the data exporter on Customer’s own behalf and on behalf of any of Customer’s entities and (ii) atEvent or its relevant Affiliate will act on its own behalf and/or on behalf of atEvent’s Affiliates as the data importers.
9. Subprocessors
   1. Consent to Subprocessor Engagement. Customer specifically authorizes the engagement of atEvent’s Affiliates as Subprocessors. In addition, Customer generally authorizes the engagement of any other third parties as Subprocessors (“Third Party Subprocessors”). If Customer has entered into Model Contract Clauses as described in Section 9.2 (Transfers of Data Out of the EEA), the above authorizations will constitute Customer’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by atEvent of the processing of Customer Personal Data if such consent is required under the Model Contract Clauses.
   2. Information about Subprocessors. Information about Subprocessors, including their functions and locations, is available at www.at-event.com/sub-processors (as may be updated by atEvent from time to time in accordance with this Addendum).
   3. Requirements for Subprocessor Engagement. When engaging any Subprocessor, atEvent will enter into a written contract with such Subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in the Agreement (including this Addendum) with respect to the protection of Customer Personal Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the Services provided by such Subprocessor. atEvent shall be liable for all obligations subcontracted to, and all acts and omissions of, the Subprocessor.
   4. Opportunity to Object to Subprocessor Changes.

      When any new Third Party Subprocessor is engaged during the Term, atEvent will, at least 30 days before the new Third Party Subprocessor processes any Customer Personal Data, notify Customer of the engagement (including the name and location of the relevant Subprocessor and the activities it will perform).

      Customer may object to any new Third Party Subprocessor by providing written notice to atEvent within ten (10) business days of being informed of the engagement of the Third Party Subprocessor as described above. In the event Customer objects to a new Third Party Subprocessor, Customer and atEvent 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, Customer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to atEvent.

10. Processing Records
    1. atEvent’s Processing Records. Customer acknowledges that atEvent is required under the GDPR to: (a) collect and maintain records of certain information, including the name and contact details of each processor and/or controller on behalf of which atEvent is acting and, where applicable, of such processor’s or controller’s local representative and data protection officer; and (b) make such information available to the supervisory authorities. Accordingly, if the GDPR applies to the processing of Customer Personal Data, Customer will, where requested, provide such information to atEvent, and will ensure that all information provided is kept accurate and up-to-date.
11. Liability
    1. Liability Cap. The total combined liability of either party and its Affiliates towards the other party and its Affiliates, whether in contract, tort or any other theory of liability, under or in connection with the Agreement, this Addendum, and the Model Contract Clauses if entered into as described in Section 8.2 (Transfers of Data Out of the EEA) combined will be limited to limitations on liability or other liability caps agreed to by the parties in the Agreement, subject to Section 11.2 (Liability Cap Exclusions).
    2. Liability Cap Exclusions. Nothing in Section 11.1 (Liability Cap) will affect any party’s liability to data subjects under the third party beneficiary provisions of the Model Contract Clauses to the extent limitation of such rights is prohibited by the European Data Protection Legislation.
12. Third Party Beneficiary

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, where atEvent is not a party to the Agreement, atEvent will be a third party beneficiary of Section 5.4 (Reviews and Audits of Compliance), Section 9.1 (Consent to Subprocessor Engagement) and Section 11 (Liability) of this Addendum.

13. Analytics

Customer acknowledges and agrees that atEvent may create and derive from processing related to the Services anonymized and/or aggregated data that does not identify Customer or any natural person, and use, publicize or share with third parties such data to improve atEvent’s products and services and for its other legitimate business purposes.

14. Notices

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

that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;

that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:

(i) any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,

(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access, and

(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;

to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;

at the request of the data exporter to submit its data processing facilities for audit of the processing activities covered by the Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory authority;

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;

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

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

Clause 6

Liability

2 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.

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.

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

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

3 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:

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

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

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.

Clause 8

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

4 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.

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.

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, as set out in Appendix 3 below.

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

5 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.

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.

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, as set out in Appendix 3 below.

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

6 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.

7 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.
