In the event Client objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentence, ZINFI will use reasonable efforts to make available to Client a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Client’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Client. If ZINFI is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Client may terminate the applicable Agreement with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by ZINFI without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to ZINFI.

- Controls for the Protection of Client Data. ZINFI shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for protection of the security (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Client Data), confidentiality and integrity of Client Data. ZINFI regularly monitors compliance with these measures. ZINFI will not materially decrease the overall security of the Services during a subscription term.

Upon Client’s written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, ZINFI shall make available to Client that is not a competitor of ZINFI (or Client’s independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of ZINFI) a copy of ZINFI’s then most recent third-party audits or certifications, as applicable.

- Data Privacy Framework. ZINFI participates in and certifies compliance with the Data Privacy Framework. Where and to the extent the Data Privacy Framework applies, ZINFI will use the Data Privacy Framework to lawfully receive Client Personal Data and Controller Personal Data in the United States and will provide at least the same level of protection to such data as is required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles. ZINFI will inform Client if ZINFI Is unable to comply with this requirement.

If European Data Protection Laws require that appropriate safeguards are put in place (for example, if the Data Privacy Framework does not cover the transfer and/or the Data Privacy Framework is invalidated), the Standard Contractual Clauses will be incorporated by reference and form part of the Agreement as follows:
(A) In relation to Client Personal Data that ZINFI Processes as a Processor (i) the Module Two terms apply to the extent Client is a Controller and the Module Three terms apply to the extent Client is a Processor of Client Personal Data; (ii) in Clause 7, the optional docking clause applies; (iii) in Clause 9, Option 2 applies and changes to Sub Processors will be notified in accordance with the ‘Sub Processors’ section of this DPA; (iv) in Clause 11, the optional language is deleted; (v) in Claus es 17 and 18, the parties agree that the governing law and forum for disputes for the Standard Contractual Clauses will be determined in accordance with the ‘Contracting Entity; Applicable Law; Notice’ section of the Jurisdiction Specific Terms or, if such section does not specify an EU Member State, the Republic of Ireland (without reference to conflicts of law principles); (vi) the Annexes of the Standard Contractual Clauses will be deemed completed with the information set out in the Annexes of this DPA; and (vii) the supervisory authority that will act as competent supervisory authority will be determined in accordance with GDPR.
(B) In relation to Controller Personal Data for which ZINFI and Client are each a Controller (i) the Module One terms apply; (ii) in Clause 7, the optional docking clause applies; (iii) in Clause 11, the optional language is deleted; (iv) in Clauses 17 and 18, the parties agree that the governing law and forum for disputes for the Standard Contractual Clauses will be determined in accordance with the ‘Contracting Entity; Applicable Law; Notice’ section of the Jurisdiction Specific Terms or, if such section does not specify an EU Member State, the Republic of Ireland (without reference to conflicts of law principles); (v) the Annexes of the Standard Contractual Clauses will be deemed completed with the information set out in the Annexes of this DPA; and (vi) the supervisory authority that will act as competent supervisory authority will be the Irish Data Protection Commission.

(E) In relation to Client Personal Data that ZINFI Processes as a Processor, Client agrees that by complying with our obligations under the ‘Sub-Processors’ section of this DPA, ZINFI fulfills its obligations under Section 9 of the Standard Contractual Clauses. For the purposes of Clause 9(c) of the Standard Contractual Clauses, Client acknowledges that ZINFI may be restricted from disclosing Sub-Processor agreements, but ZINFI will use reasonable efforts to require any Sub-Processor ZINFI appoints to permit it to disclose the Sub-Processor agreement to Client and will provide (on a confidential basis) all information ZINFI reasonably can. Client also acknowledges and agree that it will exercise its audit rights under Clause 8.9 of the Standard Contractual Clauses by instructing ZINFI to comply with the measures described in the ‘Demonstration of Compliance’ section of this DPA.
(F) If and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses will prevail to the extent of such conflict.

If ZINFI cannot comply with its obligations under the Standard Contractual Clauses for any reason, and Client intends to suspend or terminate the transfer of Personal Data to ZINFI, Client agrees to provide ZINFI with reasonable written notice to enable ZINFI to cure such noncompliance and reasonably cooperate with us to identify what additional safeguards, if any, may be implemented to remedy such noncompliance. If ZINFI has not or cannot cure the noncompliance, Client may suspend or terminate the affected part of the Subscription Service in accordance with the Agreement. In the event of such termination under this Section, Client will remain obligated to pay for any and all invoices issued by ZINFI prior termination, and any and all professional services provided by ZINFI through termination. Client, however, will have no obligation to pay for any future invoices issued after termination other than future invoices for professional services previously rendered prior to termination.
