The fact that CE inspects, or fails to inspect, or has the right to inspect, BA’s facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies, and procedures does not relieve BA of its responsibility to comply with this Addendum, nor does CE’s (i) failure to detect or (ii) detection, but failure to notify BA or require BA’s remediation of any unsatisfactory practices, constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of CE’s enforcement rights under the Contract or Addendum. BA shall notify CE within five (5) days of learning that BA has become the subject of an audit, compliance review, or complaint investigation by the Office of Civil Rights or other state or federal government entity.
