  1. 5.1. Customer and Bloomreach cooperation. Customer and Bloomreach agree to cooperate in a commercially reasonable fashion as reasonably required to protect the Personal Data under applicable laws, Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR/UK GDPR to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Customer’s use of the Services (if applicable), to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Bloomreach.

  1. 6.1. In relation to third parties or sub-contracting the Processing of Personal Data, Bloomreach may only authorise a third party (Sub-processor) to Process the Personal Data with the prior consent of the Customer and provided that provisions relating to data processing and data protection in the Sub-processor’s contract with respect to the Personal Data is on terms which are substantially the same as those set out in this Addendum. For the purpose hereof the following Sub-processors are approved by the Customer by signing this Addendum: (i) Sub-processors listed in Schedule No. 2 hereof, (ii) Bloomreach’s Affiliates and (iii) any Sub-processor authorised by Customer via its Authorised User by authorizing an integration with Bloomreach Services via Account or otherwise.

  1. 6.2. Objection Right for New Sub-processors. The Customer may object to Bloomreach’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Bloomreach promptly in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of Bloomreach’s notice and specifying the deficiencies. In the event Customer objects to a new Sub-processor, Bloomreach will effort to add additional safeguards (covering the specified deficiencies) or change the Sub-processor (vis-à-vis the Sub-processor); should Bloomreach be unable to do so, Bloomreach will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Bloomreach is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate only those Services which cannot be provided by Bloomreach without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Bloomreach. Bloomreach will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of Agreement following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, which shall represent the sole and exclusive remedy of the Customer in connection with introduction of new Sub-processor.
