A Contracted Processor need not give access to its premises for the purposes of such an audit or inspection: 4.1 to any individual unless he or she produces reasonable evidence of identity and authority; 4.2 outside normal business hours at those premises, unless the audit or inspection needs to be conducted on an emergency basis and Company undertaking an audit has given notice to Vendor that this is the case before attendance outside those hours begins; 4.3 for the purposes of more than one audit or inspection, in respect of each Contracted Processor, in any calendar year, except for any additional audits or inspections which: 4.3.1 Company undertaking an audit reasonably considers necessary because of genuine concerns as to Vendor's compliance with this Addendum; or 4.3.2 Company is required or requested to carry out by Data Protection Law, a Supervisory Authority or any similar regulatory authority responsible for the enforcement of Data Protection Laws in any country or territory, where Company undertaking an audit has identified its concerns or the relevant requirement or request in its notice to Vendor of the audit or inspection.

Subject to section 11.3, the Company (as "data exporter") and each Contracted Processor, as appropriate, (as "data importer") hereby enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses in respect of any Restricted Transfer from the Company to that Contracted Processor.
The Standard Contractual Clauses shall come into effect immediately on signing this Addendum.
Section 11.1 shall not apply to a Restricted Transfer unless its effect, together with other reasonably practicable compliance steps (which, for the avoidance of doubt, do not include obtaining consents from Data Subjects), is to allow the relevant Restricted Transfer to take place without breach of applicable Data Protection Law.
12. General Terms
Without prejudice to clause 7 (Mediation and Jurisdiction) and 9 (Governing Law) of the Standard Contractual Clauses: 1.1 the parties to this Addendum hereby submit to the choice of jurisdiction stipulated in the Terms & Conditions with respect to any disputes or claims howsoever arising under this Addendum, including disputes regarding its existence, validity or termination or the consequences of its nullity; and 1.2 this Addendum and all non-contractual or other obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by the laws of the country or territory stipulated for this purpose in the Terms & Conditions.
Nothing in this Addendum reduces Vendor's obligations under the Terms & Conditions in relation to the protection of Personal Data or permits Vendor to Process (or permit the Processing of) Personal Data in a manner which is prohibited by the Terms & Conditions. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Addendum and the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.
Subject to section 12.2, with regard to the subject matter of this Addendum, in the event of inconsistency between the provisions of this Addendum and any other agreements between the parties, including the Terms & Conditions 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 Addendum, the provisions of this Addendum shall prevail.
Company may: 4.1 by at least 30 (thirty) calendar days' written notice to Vendor from time to time make any variations to the Standard Contractual Clauses (including any Standard Contractual Clauses entered into under section 11.1), as they apply to Restricted Transfers which are subject to a particular Data Protection Law, which are required, as a result of any change in, or decision of a competent authority under, that Data Protection Law, to allow those Restricted Transfers to be made (or continue to be made) without breach of that Data Protection Law; and 4.2 propose any other variations to this Addendum which Company reasonably considers to be necessary to address the requirements of any Data Protection Law.
If Company gives notice under section 12.4.1: 5.1 Vendor shall promptly co-operate (and ensure that any affected Sub-processors promptly co-operate) to ensure that equivalent variations are made to any agreement put in place under section 5.4.3. The Vendor may terminate the Terms & Conditions and this Addendum in the event that it is unable to comply with, or agree to, the variations made by the Company. Where Subprocessors are not able to or are not willing to agree to changes, Vendor shall terminate any arrangement with the relevant Subprocessor; and 5.2 Company shall not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to any consequential variations to this Addendum proposed by Vendor to protect the Contracted Processors against additional risks associated with the variations made under section 12.4.1 and/or 12.5.1.
If Company gives notice under section 12.4.2, 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 Company's notice as soon as is reasonably practicable.
Should any provision of this Addendum be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Addendum shall remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be either (i) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and enforceability, while preserving the parties’ intentions as closely as possible or, if this is not possible, (ii) construed in a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein.
