RedAwning markets short term property rentals and generates short-term rental bookings (each, a “Booking”) for and on behalf of property owners and managers through its proprietary websites, its mobile app, its distribution partner relationships, its suite of RedAwning Property Manager specific Website products and marketing services, and related activities (together, the “Services”); and
C. Property Manager desires to engage the Services to promote the Properties and facilitate Bookings and RedAwning desires to provide such Services all in conformance with the terms of this Agreement.

1. RedAwning Services. RedAwning shall provide Property Manager the following Services:

a. RedAwning shall advertise the Properties for short-term rental pursuant to multiple digital methodologies, including without limitation, on web pages specifically devoted to each Property (each a “Property Page”) on RedAwning’s proprietary websites and RedAwning’s mobile App (“Websites“), on a Property Manager specific Website built and hosted by RedAwning (“PM Website Services”), exclusively on all major third party short term rental distribution channels and other RedAwning distribution partner websites, and on such other channels as RedAwning may add (together, “Channel Partners“) and such additional promotional methodologies, if any, that RedAwning may deploy from time to time. Property Pages shall include a description of each Property, including amenities, photos, and other information provided by Property Manager or RedAwning, as the case may be (the “Property Description”), and such other information as may be reasonably available to RedAwning or Channel Partners. PM Website Services products included in the Services may require Addenda entered into between Property Manager and RedAwning from time to time.

b. RedAwning shall host a Property-specific calendar (the “Property Calendar”) that shall enable users to view each Property’s availability and make Bookings conditioned on such user meeting any applicable requirements and/or conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the RedAwning Rental Agreement which can be found at https://www.redawning.com/content/rental-agreement (the“Rental Agreement”) and is incorporated herein by reference. Users that make Bookings are herein defined as “Guests”.

c. For each Booking, RedAwning shall:

i. Collect and process in advance of any tenancy all required base rental amounts (“Base Rent”), cleaning and other required fees (together, “Property Manager Fees“) (Property Manager Fees and Base Rent, together, “Gross Rent”), any room-related taxes and assessments (together, “Taxes“), and any additional charges or fees for services, goods and benefits provided by RedAwning and/or third-party vendors (together, “RedAwning Fees“) for the time period(s) selected by the Guest in accordance with (1) each Property’s then current Base Rent schedule established by Property Manager and/or RedAwning, as the case may be, (2) applicable Tax regulations, and (3) the RedAwning Rental Policies (“Rental Policies”) set forth in the Rental Agreement, as such policies may be amended from time to time in RedAwning’s sole reasonable discretion;

ii. Provide the Property Manager via email, insertion into the Property Manager’s property management system and/or the RedAwning Portal, the Guest’s contact information received by RedAwning, such as email address and telephone number. Provide the Guest via email and the RedAwning mobile App Property Manager’s contact information;

iii. Pay credit card services fees and process any refunds due Guests for cancelled Bookings in accordance with this Agreement and the Rental Policies;

iv. In the event RedAwning cannot collect all or any portion of the Gross Rent, Taxes and/or Fees from a Guest through an authorization against such Guest’s credit card, RedAwning shall use reasonable efforts to contact the Guest and collect in advance of the Booking commencement date alternative payment. If such Guest is unable or unwilling to pay all required amounts, the Booking shall be cancelled according to its terms.

d. For each Booking, if applicable, perform the Repair Obligation in respect to Covered Damage as defined and described in Section 5 below.

e. Any other Smart Services performed by RedAwning, when available, and the related fees payable by Property Manager, if any, shall be as specified in one or more Smart Service Addenda entered into by the parties from time to time, and which by this reference are incorporated herein as though fully set forth, provided, that the terms of the Smart Service Addenda shall control conflicting terms in this Property Manager Promotion Agreement.

2. Rent Collection and Assignment.

a. RedAwning shall pay Property Manager, as consideration for a confirmed Booking, the Gross Rent and Taxes collected by RedAwning, less the Participation Fee (as defined below), any applicable Smart Service fees or co-pays, credit card processing fees (credit card processing fees are three percent (3%) of the Gross Rent and Taxes), RedAwning Fees, and any amounts disputed by Guest (such adjusted amount, “Net Rent”). Property Manager’s right to payment of Net Rent accrues if and only to the extent: (i) RedAwning collects the related Gross Rent, Taxes and fees; and (ii) Guest’s right, if any, to dispute any charge or receive any whole or partial refund thereof has expired or is terminated.

b. The agreement between Property Manager and RedAwning set forth in this Section 2 is strictly an assignment of a limited right to collect and receive Gross Rent and Taxes and does not result in RedAwning assuming any other right or obligation of Property Manager in respect to the Properties. Property Manager acknowledges and agrees that RedAwning shall deposit Gross Rent and Taxes collected and received in respect to the Properties into a Stripe Connect account.

c. RedAwning shall trigger Stripe Connect to remit to Property Manager via ACH deposit accrued Net Rent due and payable to Property Manager hereunder the sooner of the first business day after Guest check out or five (5) days after Guest check in.  If any jurisdiction requires a Channel Partner or RedAwning to pay any portion, or all, of the Taxes related to a Booking directly to that jurisdiction due to marketplace facilitator or other laws, then RedAwning shall deduct such Taxes from payments to Property Manager and notify Property Manager of such amounts.

d. Property Manager acknowledges and agrees that RedAwning is only responsible for forwarding Net Rent to Property Manager. RedAwning is not responsible for any financial arrangements, tax liability or transfers between Property Manager and any other entity, person or governmental authority with an interest in or right to all or any portion of the Property, Net Rent, Taxes, or other amount in any way related to the Property or Booking activities herein contemplated, including without limitation, any property owner, owner association and/or taxing authority.

e. If a Guest attempts at any time to dispute or chargeback, through its credit card issuer or otherwise, any payments previously collected in respect to a Booking, Property Manager shall fully cooperate with RedAwning and Guest to promptly resolve such dispute. In the event such dispute results in the reimbursement of all or any portion of the disputed amounts, RedAwning and Property Manager shall each contribute toward such reimbursement amount in the pro rata proportion of the amounts each party is entitled to receive in respect to the Gross Rent, Taxes and fees, unless Property Manager has elected to join the Chargeback Protection Program option in the PA, in which case chargeback losses shall be absorbed by RedAwning as part of this program. The parties acknowledge and agree that RedAwning shall have sole discretion to resolve the Guest dispute and pay or return any amounts in satisfaction thereof. Property Manager shall reimburse RedAwning upon demand Property Manager’s pro rata share of the returned sum, which amount shall be satisfied by credit memo or direct payment at RedAwning’s election.

f. Timely cancellations of Bookings shall result in (1) the return to the Guest by RedAwning of collected Gross Rent and Taxes amounts, if any, as provided in the Rental Agreement, and (2) distribution by RedAwning to Property Manager of any non-refundable collected amounts net of the Participation Fee and processing fees (“Net Collections“). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Property Manager’s own posted cancellation policy or the cancellation policy that the Property Manager selected in the PA offers more flexible or lower cost terms than the policy in the Rental Agreement, or if Property Manager agrees with the Guest in a specific instance to such lower cost or more flexible terms, then for timely cancellations of Bookings conforming to Property Manager’s posted cancellation policy, selected cancellation policy, or agreement with the Guest, RedAwning will distribute to Property Manager any non-refundable collected amounts, net of the Participation Fee and processing fees, based on the most favorable policy to the Guest of Property Manager’s own posted cancellation policy, Property Manager’s selected cancellation policy in the PA, or Property Manager’s agreement with Guest. In all cases, for customer service and channel management purposes, RedAwning may allow Guests to cancel Bookings within two (2) business days of making a Booking without charge, even if that policy is inconsistent with the Rental Agreement or Property Manager’s own posted or selected cancellation policy.

g. RedAwning and its Channel Partners require that Guests be allowed to cancel their Bookings if there is a Force Majeure Event impacting multiple properties such as a (natural) disaster, hurricane, volcanic eruption, flood, national or local emergency, mandatory evacuation, terrorism, civil disorder, close down of airports or any other exceptional or catastrophic event, circumstance or emergency. In addition, Airbnb offers an Extenuating Circumstances Policy which allows Guests to receive a partial or complete refund due to Guest-specific issues such as a death in the family. In the event of any cancellation or refund due to any of these requirements, RedAwning and Property Manager shall each contribute toward such reimbursement amount in the pro rata proportion of the amounts each party is entitled to receive under this Agreement in respect to the Gross Rent, Taxes and fees. RedAwning may in its sole discretion satisfy Property Manager’s reimbursement obligation hereunder by issuance of a credit memo against future Booking fees otherwise payable to Property Manager hereunder.

3. Participation Fee.  In consideration of the Services herein provided, RedAwning shall receive a fee (the “Participation Fee”) for each Booking calculated as a percentage of the Gross Rent, as specified in the PA either as a Net Rate Discount percentage or a Participation Fee Commission percentage.

4. Channel Marketing Fee.  RedAwning shall pay any fees related to Bookings taken via channel and distribution partners, including Bookings taken via RedAwning Websites (“Channel Marketing Fees”) as part of the Services, and such Channel Marketing Fees shall be added to the prices paid by Guests on such channels.  Channel Marketing Fees for channel partners, such as Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Vrbo, and others, shall be the actual fees paid to such channels for marketing and distribution. 

5. Property Manager Obligations. Property Manager shall perform the following obligations:

a. Establish and periodically update as necessary the required Property Description information for each Property for use on the Property Pages. Property Manager shall also include for display on the Property Pages, when available, recent digital images of each Property (together, ”Photos”). RedAwning may also include digital images of such Property submitted to RedAwning by Guests or taken by RedAwning sourced photographers (together, “RA Photos”). In addition, in respect to each Booking, Property Manager shall provide to RedAwning at least seven (7) days in advance the check-in information for each Guest and deliver the Property in arrival-ready condition upon Guest’s arrival (Booking commencement date), including without limitation, fresh linens and a professional standard of cleanliness. The Property Description and Photos shall be at all times accurate, truthful, up to date and not misleading in all material respects and both RedAwning and Guests shall have the right to rely on such data in all matters in any way related to Bookings and the Services hereunder.

All Property appliances, utilities and advertised amenities must be fully functioning and operating at 100% capacity. The Property and contents must meet applicable governmental and industry hygiene, security, safety and fire regulations and standards. If the Property is deemed uninhabitable for safety, hygiene or maintenance reasons and Guest must be relocated to an alternative property, Property Manager must organize and pay for all related relocation expenses, including any additional rental charges. If the Property is technically habitable, but is not fully consistent with the representations on the Property Page or does not meet reasonable expectations, Guest is entitled to financial compensation from Property Manager in an amount to be negotiated in good faith by Property Manager and Guest. In the event Property Manager fails or refuses to so negotiate with the Guest promptly and in no event more than five (5) calendar days following request by RedAwning, RedAwning may, in its sole discretion and on Property Manager’s behalf, perform such negotiations and agree on and issue financial compensation. Property Manager shall reimburse RedAwning such compensation amount upon demand, which amount shall be satisfied by credit memo or direct payment at RedAwning’s election.

b. Establish and periodically update as necessary a written or API-provided Base Rent schedule for each Property, setting forth all required, then current cleaning fees, per diem and weekly rental rates, special and/or holiday rates, applicable Taxes, if any, and such additional fees and payments to be withheld from and/or paid by a Guest of the Property. Property Manager shall timely provide the Base Rent schedule, and all updates thereto, to RedAwning and both Guests and RedAwning shall each have the right to rely on the most recent Base Rent schedule provided by Property Manager in, respectively, renting each Property and performing the Services as herein contemplated. Property Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Base Rent and other fees, if any, Property Manager charges Guests shall be no less favorable to the Guest than rates Property Manager charges other Guests in like circumstances and on its own website. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Property Manager agrees not to pass on the cost of the Participation Fee to Guests by way of increased rents, fees, assessments or otherwise.

c. Pay when due all required Taxes, fees, assessments and other costs, if any, related to each Property, including any Bookings sourced through the Services.

d. Establish and continuously update as necessary, or provide via API, the Property Calendars, including without limitation, entering the dates each Property is not available for Bookings for any reason whatsoever (together, “Black-Out Dates”), including for the use thereof by Property Manager or other third-parties. Property Manager shall enter each Black-Out Date on the Property Calendar immediately as it becomes known to Property Manager. In the event Property Manager’s failure to perform in accordance with this Section 4.d.results in a scheduling conflict between a Booking and a Black-Out Date, the Booking shall supersede and take precedence over the Black-Out Date. In no event may Property Manager cancel a Booking otherwise properly made by a Guest for the purpose of replacing the Booking with a more desirable reservation with overlapping dates or for personal use, including use by a property owner, their friends or family members.  Property Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Property Calendar and Black-Out Dates made available to RedAwning and Guests will be the same Property Calendar and Black-Out Dates offered by Property Manager via its own website and to other marketing channels.  Calendar availability parity is a requirement of RedAwning and its Channel Partners.  

e. Notify RedAwning immediately in the event (i) any Booking conflicts with a Black-Out Date, (ii) any issue, question, concern or dispute arises or is made known to Property Manager in respect to a Property, a Booking, a Guest or any other matter in respect to the Services, or (iii) of a casualty adversely affecting a Property subject to a Booking.

f. Notify RedAwning, within 24 hours following the expiration or earlier termination of a Booking term (i) of any reasons to hold all or any part of any payment to Property Manager instead of refunding same to Guest, and (ii) of any Covered Damage or other claims to be submitted. In all instances, RedAwning shall have the right to rely on Property Manager’s instructions in respect to collected payments and refunds. In the event of any dispute, RedAwning shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution policies set forth herein.

g. Promptly respond to, and use reasonable, good faith efforts to timely resolve, any Guest complaint within 6 hours of notice thereof. Such notice may be from Guest or RedAwning. If a Property Manager is unwilling or unable to timely resolve a Guest complaint, then RedAwning may, but is not obligated to, in its sole reasonable discretion investigate and resolve the complaint on behalf of Property Manager, including reimbursement of an amount equal to all or any portion of the Gross Rent collected from the Guest (less the Participation Fee), which amount Property Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees RedAwning may deduct by way of credit memo from any sums then or thereafter due Property Manager hereunder, regardless of source.

RedAwning may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the Services in respect to a Property due to Guest complaints and notify Guests of all pending Bookings of such Property of RedAwning’s election to terminate or suspend the Services, as the case may be, and Property Manager hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold RedAwning harmless from any claims or liability arising from or related to such suspension or termination.

h. At all times maintain the Properties in good, clean and habitable condition and in conformance with all applicable international, foreign, federal, state, local and association laws, regulations, ordinances, rules and covenants (together, “Laws”). In furtherance of this Section 4.h., Property Manager shall enter into and maintain, and timely pay and perform when due, its duties under, contracts with such third-party service providers to the Properties, including by way of example only, utilities, waste disposal, house cleaning and yard maintenance services, as may be necessary or required to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

i. At all times during the term hereof, insure that for each Property, the property owner or the Property Manager maintains sufficient, appropriate and customary types and amounts of insurance relating to each Property including: (1) general property damage insurance covering fire, flood and/or other casualty on a per occurrence basis; (2) liability for bodily injury on a per occurrence basis; and (3) comprehensive general liability insurance. Such policies of insurance shall include coverage for the third-party rental and Service activities herein contemplated. At RedAwning’s request, Property Manager shall provide RedAwning with any necessary documentation, including certificates of insurance, evidencing the required coverage hereunder.

j. Upon RedAwning’s request, provide proof to RedAwning’s reasonable satisfaction of Property Manager’s sole right, license and authority to rent each Property to third parties, enter into this Agreement to effect such rentals through RedAwning, and receive Net Rents as herein contemplated.

k. Maintain at all times accurate and complete contact information on the applicable Website and/or Smart Service-related administration page(s), including without limitation, Property Manager’s name, full street and, if different, postal address(es), email address, daytime and evening phone numbers, and cell phone number. In addition, Property Manager shall include all such data for any authorized local agent of Property Manager with access to the Properties and authority to resolve any Guest questions or issues in respect to a then current Booking.

l. In no event will Property Manager at any time offer Guests rates or terms that are inconsistent with the agreed to terms for a Booking that has already been confirmed. If any such terms are offered, RedAwning shall have the right to match those rates or terms while otherwise preserving the payment obligations and other terms Property Manager has agreed to in this Agreement.

6. Damage Protection Program.

a. Program Description. As a convenience and inducement to Guests to rent the Properties, Property Manager has agreed in the Property Rental Agreement with each Guest of a Property promoted by RedAwning via the Services to a partial waiver and release (the “Waiver“) of the Guest from liability for timely submitted claims solely and specifically limited to damage to the Property caused by the unintentional, non-breaching acts or omissions of the Guest or its authorized guests (the “Covered Damage“) in an amount not to exceed three thousand United States dollars (US$3,000) (the “Damage Protection Cap“). In exchange for the Waiver, the Guest is paying a fee set by RedAwning in its sole discretion, that is included as a RedAwning Fee for purposes of this Agreement.

b. Repair Obligation. For and in exchange for the payment of the RedAwning Fee, RedAwning hereby agrees to repair or replace the Covered Damage to the Property, and to indemnify Property Manager for the related actual direct costs of such repair or replacement (together, the “Repair Obligation“); provide in no event shall the Repair Obligation of RedAwning for a single Booking exceed the Damage Protection Cap; and provided, further, that in no event shall RedAwning’s total Repair Obligation for all Properties of the Property Manager promoted by RedAwning pursuant to the Services exceed twelve thousand United States dollars (US$12,000) in any twelve (12) consecutive calendar month period.

c. Property Manager Alternative. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5to the contrary, if Property Manager charges Guests for its own damage protection program, the provisions of Section 5 a. and b.shall not apply, RedAwning shall have no obligation or liability in respect to any Covered Damage or other casualty, and Property Manager hereby waives, releases and indemnifies RedAwning from liability in respect to same. In this case, Property Manager also agrees to provide the same level of damage protection to Guests as RedAwning provides, and also to follow the same process for easy claims without requiring guest involvement in the claims process.

7. Proprietary Rights.

The Services, the Website, all Smart Service functionality, products and services (exclusive of “work for hire” deliverables, if any, specifically identified in an applicable Addendum for which RedAwning has been fully compensated), the proprietary trademarks, service marks and logos of the RedAwning Group companies, the Property Pages, the Property Calendars, the RA Photos, the advertising and marketing copy appearing anywhere on or in connection with the foregoing, the underlying software platform design, algorithms and related applications supporting the Services, all domestic and foreign patent, trademark and copyrights in any way related to the Services, and any updates thereto (together “RedAwning IP”) are the sole and exclusive property of RedAwning.

Exhibit A
RedAwning Data Privacy and Messaging Guidelines

These Data Privacy and Messaging Guidelines (the “Guidelines“) set forth the terms and conditions under which RedAwning provides its service to and for the benefit of Property Managers. By using the Services, Property Manager agrees to and accepts the following Guidelines.

1. Scope, Definitions and Interpretation
a. These Guidelines form an integral part of the Agreement between Property Manager and RedAwning and must be read in conjunction therewith. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the terms and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect. If there is conflict between these Guidelines and the Agreement, the terms of the Guidelines will prevail. Property Manager is aware that RedAwning’s Services are operated by RedAwning.com, Inc., a California corporation.
b. Unless defined otherwise in these Guidelines, capitalized terms have the same meaning as set out in the Agreement.

2. Data Privacy

a. Each Party shall take reasonable steps to protect personal data (i.e., information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person) processed in the context of the Agreement against loss and unauthorized access, use, deletion and disclosure; and, as required by applicable laws, process personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate confidentiality and security of the personal data.b. Property Manager acknowledges that it is responsible for the handling and security of the personal data it holds and processes within the context of the Agreement and RedAwning acknowledges that it is responsible for the handling and security of the personal data it processes within the context of the Agreement. Property Manager shall provide personal data to RedAwning only if such disclosure is permitted under applicable laws. RedAwning shall be a data controller (i.e. determines the purposes and means of the data processing) for any personal data it processes. Each party shall be solely responsible for the processing of personal data by itself or on its behalf in accordance with applicable data protection laws. The parties shall, if required by applicable laws, cooperate in good faith and provide assistance in the event data subjects wish to exercise their rights of access, correction, erasure or portability, or in case of requests from competent authorities to demonstrate compliance with obligations applicable to the party.
c. To the extent RedAwning processes personal data that is not Guest data in association with the Agreement, such personal data shall be processed by RedAwning in accordance with the RedAwning Privacy Policy, which can be found on www.redawning.com. Property Manager warrants that it has, as required by applicable laws, duly and diligently informed (and as required by applicable laws, obtained consents from) its staff members, agents, representatives and other individuals about the processing of their personal data by RedAwning and the cross-border transfer of their personal data to countries that do not provide for adequate protection of rights of personal data subjects.
d. Property Manager shall process personal data that Property Manager received from RedAwning as part of the Services under the Agreement only so far as necessary to perform the requested reservation services, or as otherwise agreed to between the parties in writing, in accordance with applicable law, including (if applicable) Directive 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC (as amended or replaced by subsequent legal acts) on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy or the EU General Data Protection Regulation or if Property Manager has obtained explicit consent from the Guest to any other use of Guest’s personal data.
e. If Property Manager will or intends to notify Guests or other parties (e.g., competent data protection and/or government authorities) of a data breach (any discovered or suspected incident resulting in accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction of, loss of, alteration of, access to, disclosure of, or use of personal data) involving personal data received by Property Manager from RedAwning, and the notification will reference RedAwning, Property Manager shall first, to the extent permitted by law, provide any draft notification and related correspondence to RedAwning and reasonably cooperate with RedAwning in finalizing such notification and correspondence and other communication that may follow with the Guests or authorities. Property Manager acknowledges that RedAwning retains the right to voluntarily inform its users about any such data breach. For the avoidance of doubt, Property Manager shall not notify Guests or other parties of a data breach involving personal data that RedAwning hosts on the RedAwning Portal or otherwise provides or has provided to Property Manager without prior written authorization from RedAwning.
f. In case the party contracting with RedAwning is not directly processing personal data of Guests under its own control (e.g. as may be applicable in case of chains, property management companies etc.), this Clause 2 shall be read to apply to the property manager ultimately processing the personal data of Guests. In such case, either contracting party and/or Property Manager may be considered the (sole) data controller of any Guest data processed in the context of the Agreement.
g. Messaging Tools. RedAwning may from time to time as part of its service to the Guest and Property Manager facilitate the communication between the Guest and Property Manager using tools or solutions provided by RedAwning (“RedAwning Communications Solutions”). RedAwning will process communications sent via the RedAwning Communications Solutions (the “Communications”) in accordance with the RedAwning Privacy Policy available on www.redawning.com. Property Manager hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees and consents to the processing of Communications by RedAwning (including any processing, storage, receipt, access, insight and screening of communications by RedAwning) and states that it has duly and diligently informed (and as required by applicable laws, obtained consent from) Property Manager’s employees, agents, representatives, staff members and other individuals of/for/when using the RedAwning Communications Solutions for or on Property Manager’s behalf (including the processing, receipt, insight, storage, screening and access of such communications by RedAwning).

3. Use of RedAwning Services
a. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Property Manager agrees to comply and have individuals acting on its behalf, comply with the RedAwning Terms of Use, as made available on www.redawning.com.
b. RedAwning may offer a web-based portal access facility to Property Manager (the “Portal”). Property Manager shall safeguard and keep its assigned user ID and password required for Portal access confidential and secure, and shall not disclose the user ID and password to any person other than those who need to have access to the Portal to fulfill their job responsibilities. Property Manager shall notify RedAwning at greg@redawning.com within 24 hours of any actual or suspected breach of security or confidentiality involving the user ID and password used by Property Manager to access the Portal.
c. Property Manager agrees not to use the RedAwning Communications Solutions to send unsolicited electronic communications to any individual. Property Manager will fully indemnify RedAwning for any claims of third parties or fines resulting from unlawful or unauthorized use of the RedAwning Communications Solutions by Property Manager for its own purposes.

4. Payment Card Security

Clause 1

Definitions

For the purposes of the Clauses:

(a) “personal data”, “special categories of data”, “process/processing”, “controller”, “processor”, “data subject” and “supervisory authority” shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data;

Clause 2

Details of the transfer

The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.

Clause 3

Third-party beneficiary clause

(e) that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;

(f) that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;

(b) 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;

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

(d) 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;

Clause 6 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 sub-processor 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 sub- processor 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 sub-processor 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 sub-processor 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 sub-processor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data sub-processor 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 sub-processor 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;

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 sub-processor, 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 sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, 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 sub- processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the sub-processor 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 sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement.

2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor 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 sub-processor 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 sub-processor 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 sub-processor 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.
