7.2. Processor/service provider shall (i) without undue delay notify controller/business if it receives a request from a data subject under any Applicable Data Protection Laws in respect of Processed Personal Data; and (ii) not respond to that request, except on the written instructions of controller/business or as required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, in which case processor/service provider shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws, inform controller/business of that legal requirement before it responds to the request.
8. Personal Data Breach.
8.1. Processor/service provider shall notify controller/business without undue delay upon processor/service provider becoming aware of any personal data breach within the meaning of Applicable Data Protection Laws relating to User Data which may require a notification to be made to a supervisory authority or data subject under Applicable Data Protection Laws "Personal Data Breach").
8.2. At the written request of the controller/business and at controller's/business’ sole expense, processor/service provider shall provide reasonable co-operation and assistance to User in respect of User's obligations regarding the investigation of any Personal Data Breach and the notification to the supervisory authority and data subjects in respect of such a Personal Data Breach; provided, however, that Kamatera shall, at its own expense, use reasonable efforts to contain and remedy any Personal Data Breach caused by Kamatera (or its agents, representatives, or subcontractors) without undue delay and prevent any further Personal Data Breach, including, but not limited to taking any and all reasonable action necessary to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
9. Deletion or Return of Processed Personal Data.
9.1. Subject to the terms hereof, processor/service provider shall within up to sixty (60) days, unless a sooner time period is required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, return and then destroy the User Data, except such copies as authorized including under this DPA or required to be retained in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
9.2. Processor/service provider may retain User Data only to the extent authorized or required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, provided that processor/service provider shall ensure the confidentiality of such User Data and shall ensure that it is only processed for such legal purpose(s). The provisions of this DPA shall govern any such retained User Data.
9.3. Upon controller's/business’ prior written request, processor/service provider shall provide written certification to controller/business that it has complied with this Section 9.
10. Audit Rights
10.1. Subject to the terms hereof, and not more than once in each calendar year, processor/service provider shall make available to a reputable auditor mandated by controller/business in coordination with processor/service provider, at the reasonable cost of the controller/business upon prior written request, within normal business hours at processor/service provider premises, such information necessary and relevant to reasonably demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and shall allow for audits by such reputable auditor mandated by the controller/business in relation to the processing of the User Data by the processor/service provider, provided that such third-party auditor shall be subject to confidentiality obligations.
10.2. Controller/business shall use (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors use) its best efforts to avoid causing (or, if it cannot avoid, to minimize) any damage, injury or disruption to the processor's/service provider's premises, equipment, personnel and business while its personnel are on those premises in the course of such an audit or inspection.
11. General Terms.
11.1.Governing Law and Jurisdiction. All disputes with respect to this DPA shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel and shall be handled at a competent court in Tel Aviv-Yafo.
11.2.Conflict. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and any other agreements between the parties, including agreements entered into after the date of this DPA, the provisions of this DPA shall prevail.
11.3.Changes in Applicable Data Protection Laws. Controller/business may by at least forty-five (45) calendar days' prior written notice to processor/service provider, request in writing any changes to this DPA, if they are required, as a result of any change in any Applicable Data Protection Law, regarding the lawfulness of the processing of User Data. If controller/business provides its modification request, processor/service provider shall make commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such modification request, and controller/business shall not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to any consequential changes to this DPA to protect the processor/service provider against any additional risks, and/or to indemnify and compensate processor/service provider for any further costs associated with the changes made hereunder.
11.4.Severance. Should any provision of this DPA be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this DPA shall remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall either be (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.
