laws.

Where the Customer Data includes any personal data governed by the GDPR it is agreed that you will
be the data controller and StructureIt will be the data processor.

You must ensure that you are entitled to make the Customer Data available to StructureIt so that
StructureIt may lawfully process any personal data in accordance with the Agreement.
-
StructureIt will only process personal data as is described in and for the purposes set out in the Data
Protocol. If StructureIt requires access to or identifies a need to process any other personal data in
order to provide the Services, it will notify you, and such processing shall be subject to the Data Protocol
(as updated or amended to include that additional processing).
-
In respect of personal data processed by StructureIt and/or which is accessed by StructureIt in the
provision of the Services, StructureIt will:
-
implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the
personal data when processed by it or when in its possession or control, including against
unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage, and a level of
security appropriate to the data security risks presented by processing such data;

regularly review and update the technical and organisational measures implemented pursuant
to Clause 4.5.1 in order to demonstrate to you that the processing of the personal data by

prior written consent, subject to compliance with Clause 4.7 and provided always that the
transfer complies with the Data Protection Legislation;

required by you to demonstrate StructureIt’s compliance with the Data Protection Legislation;
and
-
ensure that access to the personal data is limited to those of StructureIt’s employees and
contract personnel who need access to the personal data to assist StructureIt in the
performance of this Agreement and that each of StructureIt’s employees and contract personnel
are subject to confidentiality obligations in respect of the personal data, and StructureIt will
ensure that such access is revoked once no longer required and shall procure that such
employees and contract personnel comply with the Data Protection Legislation in so far as it
applies to them.
-
StructureIt shall immediately and in any event within 24 hours notify you if it becomes aware of any
breach or potential breach of this Clause 4, or if it otherwise has reason to consider that there has been
a personal data breach and shall provide you with all such details of the breach as are required by you,
and fully co-operate with you in respect of any breach or potential breach and all measures to be taken
in response to it, including providing such assistance as you may require to allow it to inform a regulatory
authority or data subject of a personal data breach, to conduct a data protection impact assessment or
to consult with a regulatory authority regarding the processing of personal data. To the extent that this
is not directly attributable to any failure of StructureIt then the reasonable costs of StructureIt in
providing such information and assistance shall be met by you.
-
In respect of any transfer of personal data outside the EEA or to a third country in respect of which you
have given express written consent pursuant to Clause 4.5.3, StructureIt will prior to such transfer:
-
put in place appropriate safeguards to protect such personal data to your reasonable
satisfaction, which may include executing with you the European Union’s model contract for
exporting personal data to a data processor or data controller located outside the EEA in the
form required by you, as such model contract may be amended from time to time; and
-
put in place enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects as
required by the Data Protection Legislation.

Where you request the transfer of any personal data outside of the EEA then you agree to pay all of
StructureIt’s reasonable costs (including legal fees) in doing so, including in ensuring compliance with
Data Protection Legislation.
-
StructureIt will immediately notify you if it receives any:
-
complaint, notice or communication which relates directly or indirectly to the processing of
personal data under this Agreement or to either party’s compliance with the Data Protection
Legislation, and will co-operate fully with you in connection with any such complaint, notice or
communications; and
-
any request or objection from a data subject relating to any personal data pursuant to the Data
Protection Legislation (including requests for access to personal data; rectification or erasure
of personal data; restrictions of processing personal data; and portability of personal data),
and StructureIt will provide all such assistance as you (at your cost) may require to respond
to requests made by data subjects in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation, and will
not respond to a data subject in respect of any such request or objection without your prior
written consent.
-
StructureIt will not disclose or provide the personal data to any Third-Party, including any sub-contractor
or allow any sub-contractor to process the personal data except to the extent that such sub-contractor
has been expressly approved by you in writing and then only for such purposes as you have expressly
authorised, and provided that:
-
it enters into a written agreement with the sub-contractor which imposes on the sub-contractor
obligations equivalent to those imposed on StructureIt under this Clause 4;

StructureIt notifies you of any intended changes to or replacements of a sub-contractor to
which you may object;

[Structureit uses the services of various data centres and Third-Party server hosting and processing
facilities, as listed in Appendix 1 (the Hosting Facilities). While these Hosting Facilities are not
intended to have access to any personal data, they may be regarded as data processors under the
GDPR. You hereby consent to the use by Structureit of the Hosting Facilities in processing any personal
data under this Agreement.]
-
CONFIDENTIALITY
-
Each party will treat as confidential all information obtained from the other party under or in connection
with this Agreement which is designated as confidential by the other party or which is by its nature
clearly confidential. The receiving party will not disclose such confidential information to any person
(except only to those employees, agents, sub-contractors, suppliers and other representatives who need
to know it) or use such confidential information for purposes other than providing or using the Services
without the other party’s prior written consent.
-
This clause will not extend to information which:

shall not be required nor does it give any warranties as to the fitness for any particular purpose, the
usefulness or the performance of the Services. The foregoing shall be applied to the maximum extent
permitted by law. StructureIt does not warrant that the Services will meet your particular requirements
even when communicated to it.

THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS
-
StructureIt will indemnify you against your reasonable and direct costs, claims, demands, expenses and
liabilities arising out of or in connection with any substantiated or proven claim that the normal use of

the infringement is not caused by or contributed to by your acts other than through its use of
the Services in accordance with this Agreement;

StructureIt is promptly notified in writing of the details of the claim;

you give StructureIt all reasonable assistance it requires; and
-
StructureIt shall have the sole conduct and control of any settlement or compromise.

an infringement of a Third-Party’s Intellectual Property Rights then StructureIt may, at its own expense:
-
procure for itself and/or you the right to continue using the Services;
-
modify or replace the Services and/or Application so as to avoid the infringement; or
-
if Clauses 8.2.1 or 8.2.2 above cannot be accomplished on reasonable terms, terminate this
Agreement with immediate effect.

The foregoing states the entire liability of StructureIt with respect to infringement or alleged
infringement of any Third-Party rights of any kind whatsoever.
