exporter or the
data
importer referred to in

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

the existence of
legislation applicable to

Governing law
-
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in

Clause 11
Sub-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. 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, namely

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 sub-processor 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.
