2.7 RARE Technologies shall inform the Customer if, in its opinion, a certain instruction of the Customer is in breach of the applicable legal regulations on personal data protection. Failure to perform such an instruction does not constitute breach of RARE Technologies’ obligations hereunder.

3.2 In relation to the Confidential Information, RARE Technologies agrees to bind all its employees or third parties who process Personal Data on the basis of an agreement with RARE Technologies, as applicable, to maintain confidentiality to the same extent as RARE Technologies, where this obligation shall survive the termination of the labour-law or contractual relationship between the relevant person and RARE Technologies.

5.3  RARE Technologies shall inform the Customer of any and all Sub-processors that RARE Technologies wishes to engage in Personal Data processing, or of replacement of any Sub-processors already involved. The Customer may raise justified objections against the involvement or change of the Sub-processor within 5 business days of the date of delivery of the relevant notice of RARE Technologies. If the Customer does not object to the involvement of a Sub-processor within this deadline, it shall hold that the Customer agrees with the involvement of the Sub-processor.

5.4  RARE Technologies agrees to bind the Sub-processor with the same obligations of Personal Data protection as those binding RARE Technologies under this DPA.

5.5  RARE Technologies is responsible for the processing of Personal Data entrusted to the Sub-processor to the extent to which the Personal Data are used for the performance of the agreement with RARE Technologies. RARE Technologies is liable for breach of the obligations under this Agreement or legal regulations in Personal Data processing by a Sub-processor in the performance of the agreement with RARE Technologies as if the breach of the relevant obligation was committed by RARE Technologies itself.


6. Co-operation and Audit

6.1  RARE Technologies agrees to provide the Customer with co-operation to the extent necessary to ensure compliance of the Personal Data processing hereunder with legal regulations. Within this co-operation, RARE Technologies agrees, in particular, to:

6.2  The Customer may perform an Audit at RARE Technologies at its own expense either on its own or through an authorised third party. RARE Technologies agrees to provide the Customer or a third party authorised by the Customer with all co-operation necessary for the performance of the Audit, including, but not limited to, providing documentation on the technical and organisational measures for the Personal Data processing and other internal regulations concerning the Personal Data processing, and to make available its electronic and information systems to the extent necessary for the Audit for the necessary period of time. The Customer agrees to perform the Audit so as to affect RARE Technologies’ operation only to the necessary extent. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Customer is not in any way allowed to examine any part of the technical tools of RARE Technologies that are subject to intellectual property rights, especially source codes.

6.3  The Customer may perform the Audit once every 12 months of the term of the Agreement and each time RARE Technologies or a Sub-processor breaches obligations under this DPA or under legal regulation on personal data processing.

6.4  If the Customer intends to perform an Audit at RARE Technologies, it is obliged to inform RARE Technologies of this fact not later than 30 days before the date of the planned Audit. RARE Technologies may propose another suitable date, but not later than 30 days of the date proposed by the Customer. RARE Technologies shall notify the Customer of this fact within 3 business days of the date of delivery of the Customer’s notice of the Audit. If the Customer disagrees with the proposed date, it shall notify RARE Technologies of its disagreement within 3 business days of the date of RARE Technologies’ notice of the proposed new Audit date; otherwise, the last date proposed by RARE Technologies shall apply. If RARE Technologies proposed a new Audit date due to a conflict of the date with an audit carried out at RARE Technologies by another controller, the Customer may refuse the proposed date only if it has a justified suspicion that RARE Technologies materially breaches its obligations under this DPA and this material breach will result in a serious infringement of the data subjects’ rights. If the Customer notifies RARE Technologies of its disagreement with the proposed date within the deadline set out in this paragraph, the Audit shall take place on the tenth business day following the original date of the Audit proposed by the Customer.

6.5  For the purposes of paragraph 6.4. of the DPA, it holds that a material breach of RARE Technologies’ obligations means the breach of:

  1. the obligation to process Personal Data only in accordance with and for the purpose defined by the DPA or some other agreement of the Parties set out in paragraph 2.3 of the DPA;
  2. the obligation to maintain confidentiality set out in paragraph 3.1. of the DPA;
  3. the obligation to introduce suitable safety measures set out in paragraph 4.1 of the DPA;
  4. the obligation to report breach of Personal Data security or some other security incident set out in paragraph 6.1.3. of the DPA.

6.6  RARE Technologies agrees to adopt, without undue delay, technical and organisational measures to remedy errors or security risks ascertained by the Audit to the extent necessary to ensure the remedy.
