12.2. Automatic Renewal.

The subscription fee for a renewal term will be at Sourcepoint’s applicable list price in effect at the time of the renewal, unless Sourcepoint notifies Publisher of a different price at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term.

If Publisher does not opt in to a paid subscription within the Trial Term, this Agreement will terminate and Sourcepoint will terminate Publisher’s account and all access rights to the Services and Publisher Data will not be accessible by Publisher. For the avoidance of doubt, if this Agreement terminates for Publisher’s failure to opt in to a paid subscription, the effects of termination set forth in Section 12.5 shall apply.

A disclosure of Confidential Information that is legally compelled to be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena, summons, order or other judicial or governmental process shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement; provided the receiving party provides prompt notice of any such subpoena, order, or the like to the disclosing party so that such party will have the opportunity to obtain a protective order or otherwise oppose the disclosure.
13.3. Destruction or Return of Confidential Information. Upon expiration of the Trial Term or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the receiving party shall, upon request of the disclosing party, return to the disclosing party, or otherwise destroy (with written certification of the same), all copies of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information , except for archival and back-up copies on back-up tapes and if, and to the extent, the receiving party is required to retain such material under applicable laws or regulations.
13.4. Remedies.

Therefore, in addition to all other remedies available at law (which Sourcepoint does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Sourcepoint shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, and Publisher hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or the showing of actual monetary damages in connection with such claim.

Publisher understands and acknowledges that the Sourcepoint Service and technology are subject to regulation by agencies of the United States, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Department of Commerce, which prohibit export or diversion of certain products and technology to certain countries. Any and all obligations of Sourcepoint to provide the Sourcepoint Service and technology shall be subject in all respects to such laws and regulations as shall from time to time govern the license and delivery of technology and products abroad by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, including without limitation the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, any successor legislation, and the Export Administration Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export Administration. Publisher represents and warrants that Publisher will comply with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and other laws and regulations governing exports in effect from time to time.
17.5. U.S. Government-restricted Rights. If the Sourcepoint Service is licensed to the United States government or any agency thereof, then the Sourcepoint Service will be deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” respectively, pursuant to DFARS Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable. Any use, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure of the Sourcepoint Service and any accompanying Documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by this Agreement and is prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement.
17.6. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods is excluded in its entirety from this Agreement. Informal Process First. Publisher agrees that in the event of any dispute between Publisher and Sourcepoint, Publisher will first contact Sourcepoint and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action. Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to Publisher’s use of the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between Publisher and Sourcepoint or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to Publisher and Sourcepoint. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by Sourcepoint for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Service that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or (b) bar Publisher from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If Publisher is an individual, Publisher may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date of access or use this Service by following the procedure described below. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Instead, the dispute is resolve by a neutral arbitrator. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. Except to the extent the parties agree otherwise, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Publisher agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that Publisher and Sourcepoint are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms. If Publisher wishes to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, Publisher must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing its claim to Sourcepoint. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules including, if Publisher is an individual, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If Publisher is not an individual or has used the Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will not be used. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The number of arbitrators will be one. Publisher may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county of residence or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. New York law will apply. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If Publisher is an individual and have not accessed or used the Service on behalf of an entity, Sourcepoint will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and Sourcepoint will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below. If Publisher does not want to arbitrate disputes with Sourcepoint and Publisher is an individual, Publisher may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@sourcepoint.com within thirty (30) days of the first of the date access or use the Service. Class Action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, Publisher and Sourcepoint each waive any right to a jury trial.
17.7. Waiver. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time, will not be construed and will not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, no exercise or enforcement by either party of any right or remedy under this Agreement will preclude the enforcement by such party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or that such party is entitled by law to enforce.
17.8. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the parties shall negotiate in good faith amendments to this Agreement to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible. Such invalid provision or portion thereof will be severed from the remaining provisions, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
17.9. Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither party shall be in default if its failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement is caused by supervening conditions beyond that party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, civil commotion, war, strikes, labor disputes, third party Internet service interruptions or slowdowns, vandalism or “hacker” attacks, acts of terrorism or governmental demands or requirements. 17.10. Entire Agreement; Conflicting Terms. This Agreement, together with any Order Form, any terms of use posted by Sourcepoint on the Sourcepoint Site, or any end user license agreements applicable to the Mobile Application, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form, (2) this Agreement, (3) end user license agreement, and (4) terms of use. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in any Publisher purchase order or in any other of Publisher’s order documentation (excluding Order Forms) is null and void. 17.11. Modification. Sourcepoint may modify this Agreement at any time. In the event Sourcepoint modifies the terms of this Agreement, we will notify Publisher on an Order Form, or by posting notice on the Sourcepoint Site, or by sending notification to Publisher’s email address provided to Sourcepoint. If Publisher does not agree to such modifications, Publisher may terminate this Agreement within 30 days of modification.
NEITHER SOURCEPOINT NOR THE SERVICES PROVIDE BUSINESS, LEGAL, OR CONSULTING ADVICE OR DIRECTION OF ANY KIND. SOURCEPOINT DISCLAIMS, AND DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE, THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY PARTICULAR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.SOURCEPOINT MAY MAKE CHANGES TO THE METHODOLOGY USED BY THE SERVICES AT ANYTIME WITHOUT NOTIFICATION. PUBLISHER REMAINS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TOTHE EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION, OTHER PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION LAWS APPLICABLE WITHIN THE EEA, AND ANY PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION LAWS APPLICABLE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION(S) (collectively, “DATA PRIVACY LAWS”). SOURCEPOINT, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO PUBLISHER, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS FOR FINES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, OR OTHER ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY ARISE FROM NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY DATA PRIVACY LAWS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NONCOMPLIANCE ARISES IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM USE OF THE SERVICES (TO ASSIST PUBLISHER IN MANAGING CONSENTS, OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF ANY NEGLIGENCE ONTHE PART OF SOURCEPOINT, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LIMITING A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN INDEMNIFICATION SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Clause 1Definitions
For the purposes of the Clauses:
(a) ‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and ‘supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (1);

2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a sub-processor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
3. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the sub-processor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data sub-processor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
Clause 7Mediation and jurisdiction
1. The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
(a) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

2. The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any sub-processor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
3. The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5(b).
Clause 9Governing law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established
Clause 10Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11Sub-processing
1. The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the sub-processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses (3). Where the sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement.
2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established

Description of the technical and organisational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(d) and 5(c) and Art. 32 GDPR (or document/legislation attached):
Data importer has implemented the following technical and organizational security measures to provide the on-going confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services:
ConfidentialityData importer has implemented the following technical and organizational security to provide the confidentiality of processing systems and services, in particular:
Data importer processes all data exporter data on remote server sites owned and operated by industry leading cloud service providers that offer highly sophisticated measures to protect against unauthorized persons gaining access to data processing equipment (namely telephones, database and application servers and related hardware). Such measures include:
Data security is provided per the security requirements of AWS (Amazon Web Services)
Data importer implements suitable measures to prevent its data processing systems from being used by unauthorized persons. This is accomplished by:
letting data exporters define individual user accounts with permissions across Data importer resources;industry standard encryption and requirements for passwords (minimum length, use of special characters, etc.); andall access to data content is logged, monitored, and tracked.
Data importer’s employees entitled to use its data processing systems are only able to access personal data within the scope of and to the extent covered by their respective access permission (authorization). In particular, access rights and levels are based on employee job function and role, using the concepts of least-privilege and need-to-know to match access privileges to defined responsibilities. This is accomplished by:
employee policies and training;effective and measured disciplinary action against individuals who access personal data without authorization;limited access to personal data to only authorized persons; industry standard encryption; andpolicies controlling the retention of back-up copies.
Integrity
Data importer has implemented the following technical and organizational security to provide the integrity of processing systems and services, in particular:
Data importer implements suitable measures to prevent personal data from being read, copied, altered or deleted by unauthorized parties during the transmission thereof or during the transport of the data media. This is accomplished by: use of state-of-the-art firewall and encryption technologies to protect the gateways and pipelines through which the data travels;industry standard encryption; andavoiding the storage of personal data on portable storage media for transportation purposes and on company issued laptops or other mobile devices.
Data importer does not access any data exporter content except as necessary to provide that data exporter with the data importer products and professional services it has selected. Data importer does not access data exporter’s’ content for any other purposes. Accordingly, data importer does not know what content data exporters choose to store on its systems and cannot distinguish between personal data and other content, so data importer treats all Publisher content the same. In this way, all data exporter content benefits from the same robust data importer security measures, whether this content includes personal data or not.
Availability
Data importer has implemented the following technical and organizational security measure to provide the availability of processing systems and services, in particular: Data importer implements suitable measures to provide that personal data is protected from accidental destruction or loss. This is accomplished by:infrastructure redundancy;performing regular data back-ups.
Resilience
Data importer has implemented the following technical and organizational security measures to provide the resilience of processing systems and services, in particular:
Data importer implements a variety of monitoring tools in and out of AWS to ensure systems are monitored. These include AWS’ own monitoring capabilities as well as component level monitoring via New Relic. Leverage AWS’ redundancy, all systems are backed up on a regular basis.
