All legal relationships between the Contractor and the Client are exclusively governed by Dutch law.

Article 11 Processing of Personal Data

If the Contractor processes personal data on behalf of the Client during the execution of the Agreement, the following conditions also apply. The terms used in these conditions have the meaning assigned to them by the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: "GDPR") or by case law. When processing personal data, the Client may be regarded as a data controller, or if the Client processes personal data on behalf of a third party, as a processor. The Contractor acts as a processor or sub-processor (depending on the capacity in which the Client processes the personal data).

Article 12 Purposes of Processing

The Contractor shall process personal data solely within the framework of executing the Agreement, plus any purposes reasonably related thereto or determined with the data subject's consent. Under the Agreement, the Contractor will process all personal data from all categories of data subjects that are stored during the execution of the agreement, or that are otherwise provided to the Contractor for processing. If special categories of personal data are processed, the Client must notify the Contractor in advance, and the Parties will consult to assess whether additional measures need to be taken in this regard.

The Contractor has no control over the purpose and means of processing personal data. The Contractor makes no independent decisions regarding the receipt and use of personal data, its disclosure to third parties, or the duration of its storage. The Client guarantees that it will maintain a data processing register, to the extent required by the GDPR. The Client indemnifies the Contractor against all claims and demands related to the non-compliance or incorrect compliance with this registration obligation.

Article 13 Allocation of Responsibility

13.1 The Contractor is not responsible for the processing of personal data, including but not limited to the collection of personal data by the Client, processing for purposes not disclosed by the Client to the Contractor, processing by third parties, or for other purposes.

13.2 The Client warrants that the content, use, and instruction for processing personal data are not unlawful and do not infringe any third-party rights. Clients indemnify the Processor against all third-party claims arising from the Client's failure to comply with the aforementioned warranty.

13.3 The Client's obligations arising from these terms also apply to those who process personal data under the Client's authority, such as employees or third parties engaged by them.

Article 14 Transfer of Personal Data

The Processor processes personal data in countries within the European Economic Area. The Client grants the Processor permission for the processing of personal data in countries outside the European Economic Area, in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. The Processor will inform the Client upon request to which country or countries the personal data is transferred.

Article 15 Engagement of Sub-processors

15.1 The Client hereby grants the Processor permission to engage sub-processors within the framework of the Agreement and the personal data processing included in these terms. The Processor will inform the Client upon request about which sub-processors it engages.

15.2 If the Processor intends to engage new sub-processors for the processing of personal data, the Processor will inform the Client in advance. The Client then has two weeks to object in writing to this intention. If the Client does not object within the aforementioned two-week period, the Client shall be deemed to have consented.

15.3 The Client shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to engage other sub-processors, whereby the Processor shall endeavor to impose on the sub-processor at least the same obligations regarding personal data processing as agreed between the Client and the Processor.

Article 16 Requests from data subjects

If a data subject addresses a request concerning their personal data directly to the Processor, the Processor will forward the request to the Client within a reasonable period. The Processor may inform the data subject of this.

The Processor will respond directly to the data subject if the Processor is legally obliged to do so or has an independent responsibility for this under the GDPR.

The Processor is entitled to charge the Client for the costs of responding to data subject requests.
