b. NGP VAN.

i. Compliance with Instructions. NGP VAN shall only process Customer Data for the purposes described in this DPA or as otherwise agreed within the scope of Customer's lawful instructions, except where and to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

ii. Conflict of Law. If NGP VAN becomes aware that it cannot process Customer Data in accordance with Customer's instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable law, NGP VAN will (1) promptly notify Customer of that legal requirement to the extent permitted by the applicable law; and (2) where necessary, cease all processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Customer Data) until such time as Customer issues new instructions with which NGP VAN is able to comply. If this provision is invoked, NGP VAN will not be liable to Customer under the Agreement for any failure to perform the applicable NGP VAN Materials until such time as Customer issues new lawful instructions regarding the processing.

iii. Security. NGP VAN shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Customer Data from Customer Data Breaches, as described under Annex 2 to this DPA ("Security Measures").

At Customer's request, NGP VAN will promptly provide Customer with such reasonable assistance as necessary to enable Customer to notify relevant Customer Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected data subjects, if Customer is required to do so under Data Protection Law.

vi. Deletion or Return of Customer Data. NGP VAN will delete or return all Customer Data (including copies thereof) processed pursuant to this DPA, on termination or expiration of the Agreement, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent NGP VAN is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or to Customer Data it has archived on back-up systems, which data NGP VAN shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing and delete in accordance with its deletion practices. You may request the deletion of your NGP VAN account after expiration or termination of your subscription by sending a request to [email protected].

3. Data Subject Requests. Customer has a number of options through the NGP VAN Materials to retrieve, correct, delete, or restrict Customer Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under Data Protection Law, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from data subjects to exercise their rights under applicable Data Protection Law ("Data Subject Requests"). To the extent that Customer is unable to independently address a Data Subject Request through the NGP VAN Materials, then upon Customer's written request NGP VAN shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer to respond to any Data Subject Requests or requests from data protection authorities relating to the processing of Customer Data under the Agreement. If a Data Subject Request or other communication regarding the processing of Customer Data under the Agreement is made directly to NGP VAN, NGP VAN will promptly inform Customer and will advise the data subject to submit their request to Customer. Customer shall be solely responsible for responding substantively to any such Data Subject Requests or communications involving Customer Data.

1. The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
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 subprocessor 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 or 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 subprocessor 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 subprocessor 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 subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor 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 subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

Clause 7

Mediation 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; (b) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

1. The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.

Clause 8

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

1. The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
2. The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, 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 subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5(b).

Clause 9

Governing law

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 10

Variation 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 11

Subprocessing

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 subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor 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 subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.
2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor 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 subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing 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.
4. The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5(j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.

Clause 12

Obligation after the termination of personal data-processing services

1. The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data-processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
2. The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data-processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
