It is assumed that some merchandise in the Awards Catalog maybe discontinued by the manufacturer and shall no longer be available to GRS or Client. If a Participant orders a discontinued product that is no longer in stock, GRS will automatically notify Client that the redemption request has been discontinued and that the order has been cancelled. GRS and Client agree to use their best efforts via automated daily updates to remove discontinued product from the Awards Catalog(s) in a prompt and timely fashion.

5. | Redemption of Merchandise. GRS award catalogues are made available for Participant point redemption. Any other payment method must be approved by each party prior to it being made available to the targeted customers. |
6. | Shipment of Merchandise. All orders for in-stock items shall be processed for redemption and are typically drop shipped within five (5) business days of receipt of an order. All merchandise shall be shipped via a recognized carrier used by the participating GRS approved supplier. |
a. | Merchandise damaged in shipment will be replaced by GRS, at its sole expense, if reported by a Participant in writing within ten (10) days after the Participant receives the shipment. Merchandise shall be replaced once the damaged merchandise has been received from the Participant. Both Parties agree that damaged merchandise is not returnable if written notification is received by GRS after ten (10) day reporting requirement. |

GRS will arrange for replacement of defective merchandise if reported within ten (10) days of receipt of same. For some products, the manufacturer does not allow returns but provides exceptional warranty service. Therefore, GRS or Client shall receive instruction on how to obtain warranty service as opposed to a complete award replacement, if such warranty service applies. |

9. | Payments. |
a. | GRS and Client agree to the following terms and processes for payments of all GRS orders: GRS shall provide Client with real-time order and float tracking through its GRS portal access (Float Account). Client shall either wire transfer as required or sign up for the Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Plan, which authorizes GRS and its financial institution to draw funds from Client’s bank account to fund the Float Account. The initial Float Account deposit amount will be established prior to a program launch. A Threshold Amount will be established prior to a program launch. Upon the Float Account reaching the Threshold Amount, Client shall either wire transfer or GRS shall debit the Client’s bank account a Replenishment Amount to top up the account which will be established prior to a program launch. The Client can choose to modify the Threshold Amount and the Replenishment Amount by sending a written request to xx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx. GRS reserves the right to stop processing Client’s orders when there are not enough funds available in the Float Account. The Float Account is debited upon GRS accepting an order. Credits are issued upon approval by GRS Customer Service Team. An invoice is issued monthly and summarizes redemptions for the month. Invoices are issued for Client’s records only and no payment is required. |
3 |
b. | The delivered price invoiced to the Client includes the item cost, all shipping and handling charges as well as all applicable taxes which are separately broken out for all orders within the GRS tracking reports. The delivered price pertains to shipments within the specific country that the member placed the order. |
c. | GRS Currency Converter: GRS can work internationally in any currency. All product values can be automatically converted to the specified currency and all purchases regardless of country and currency will be converted to the core currency equivalent. In order for this to function seamlessly, GRS updates all global currencies automatically on a daily basis. For greater clarity, if a US based company sets the GRS currency to USD and activates catalogues in the UK and Spain, all International orders will be converted from Euros and Pound Sterling to their US equivalent and only USD’s will be reported by GRS. |
d. | GRS Fee Structure |
GRS Fee Schedule
Item | Amount | Frequency | ||
One-Time Set Up Fee | $15,000.00 USD | One Time | ||
Minimum Annual Order | $0 USD | Annual Target Only | ||
Volume Target | Pre-Tax Order Volume | |||
Annual Renewal & Licensing Fee |
$5,000.00 USD | Annual – Term Date |
*Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all currency is shown in USD
Float Management and Monthly Fees: Our monthly fee as set out in this Agreement revolves around the amount of pre-tax sales that is processed monthly and these amounts are managed through the GRS Float Management System.
Once Client has activated the GRS Web Service integration, Client shall set up a Float Account prior to its orders being processed by GRS. GRS will debit Client’s Float Account $5,000 USD on the first day of each month only in the event that the Float Account drops below $1,000 USD. For the purposes of clarification, GRS will not debit Client’s account unless the Client’s Float Account drops below $1,000 USD.
Based on Client’s month end pre-tax sales, GRS will then apply a credit to Client’s GRS Float Account equal to 10% of Client’s pre-tax purchase volume at the end of each month and then such process starts all over again the next month. For example, if Client attain sales of $50,000 USD, Client’s Float would be credited $5,000 USD by GRS. If Client attained sales of $25,000 USD, Client’s Float would be credited $2,500 USD. If in the next month Client attains sales of $75,000 USD, Client’s float would be credited $7,500 USD. The GRS Float Management System works the same each month and will provide full credit to the Client up to $5,000 USD, so that as Client’s volume builds and is consistently over the $50,000 USD threshold, there would be absolutely no financial impact to Client’s Float Account
Other Services: GRS shall develop specialized client offers for specific markets based on Client’s detailed requirements and as provided to GRS in writing by Client. GRS will charge a flat fee to source the offers and reserves the right to charge the Client for any IT related data integration requirements. Should Client require IT services to complete any integration or specialized requirements, GRS will charge against a pre-approved Statement of Work (SOW) the amount of $200.00/hour for these services.

5 | Key Performance Indicators – GRS System |
5.1 | GRS System Availability |
a) | 99.5% Uptime in a calendar month as monitored via an automated system | |
b) | Uptime is measured in hours, excluding Scheduled Downtime, and is divided by the total number of hours in the calendar month. The resulting value is presented as a percentage, indicating the amount of time the GRS System was available during the calendar month. | |
c) | Example: A 30-day month with 6 hours of Scheduled Downtime and 2 hours of Unscheduled Downtime, the calculation would be: |
Available hours = 30 days x 24 hours/day = 720 hours
Available hours Excluding Scheduled Downtime= 720 – 6 = 714 hours
Uptime % = (714 – 2 Unscheduled Downtime) / 714 * 100 = 99.72%
5.2 | GRS System Response Time |

The parties acknowledge and agree that the security measures specified in the Agreement and this DPA (and the Standard Contractual Clauses) constitute appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
Human Resource Security. Subject to applicable legal and regulatory restrictions, GRS shall carry out background screening on all Authorized Persons who will have access to Client Personal Data. All staff and contractors will be made aware of and be contractually bound to their information security responsibilities. Any breach of an internal security policy will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Security awareness and data protection training will take place on an ongoing basis, but no less than at least annually.
Asset Management. GRS will maintain an inventory of all assets. Removable media and disposal of media policies will be put in place and enforced.
Access Controls. To prevent unauthorized access to systems, applications and data, GRS shall apply the following, to the extent applicable: a secure logon procedure via quality passwords and/or two-factor authentication, documented authorization processes, user access reviews, and restricted access to source code and utility programs to authorized personnel. Client Personal Data is accessible and manageable only by properly authorized personnel. Direct database query access is restricted, and application access rights are established and enforced.
Encryption. GRS will use encryption as the risk dictates (using a commercially reasonable standard) to secure Client Personal Data, but at a minimum, will ensure that all Client Personal Data is encrypted at rest and in transit over any public network.
Physical and Environment Security. GRS employs adequate measures designed to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to data processing systems in which Client Personal Data is Processed, such as secure perimeter, visitor access procedures, the use of security personnel, secured buildings and data center premises. Data processing systems shall be housed in an environment which provides the appropriate level of environmental protection to reduce the risk of environmental threats and hazards including resilient power, cooling, and fire suppression, for example.
Operations Security. Documented processes will be put in place for change management and capacity management. At least industry best standard anti-malware and anti-virus software will be installed and updated regularly. Log-ins to Services environments by Authorized Persons and Subprocessors are logged and centralized logging and alerting is in effect with logging of access on several different levels.
Communications Security. Logical access to the data centers is restricted and protected by firewall/VLAN and intrusion detection systems are used where appropriate. Network is segregated. Transmissions of Client Personal Data outside the hosted environment are encrypted. Client Personal Data from different GRS client environments, to the extent applicable, is logically segregated on GRS’s systems.
System Development. Information Security is an integral part of GRS’s systems development lifecycle, and as such secure development procedures will be utilized, and all test data will be protected.

10. | Audit |
GRS shall make available to Client on request all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, of GRS’s premises, data processing facilities, procedures or documentation, by Client or an auditor appointed by Client (provided that such auditor is not a competitor of GRS and is required to sign a confidentiality agreement with GRS) in relation to the Processing of the Client Personal Data by the GRS.
Client shall give GRS at least 30 days’ notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under this section save in cases where a Supervisory Authority or applicable law requires an expedited audit or an audit without prior notification.
Client shall make (and ensure that each of its appointed auditors makes) reasonable endeavors to avoid Causing (or, if it cannot avoid, to minimize) any disruption to the GRS’s premises, equipment, personnel and business while its personnel are on the premises in the course of such an audit or inspection. GRS agrees that it shall remediate any inadequacies resulting from such audit or inspection as requested by Client at GRS’s expense.
Information and audit rights of the Client only arise under the first paragraph in this Section 9 to the extent that the Agreement does not otherwise provide for information and audit rights meeting the relevant requirements of applicable Data Protection Legislation (including, where applicable, Article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR).
11. | Security Breach |
GRS shall promptly notify Client (and in any event within 48 hours) upon GRS becoming aware of any Security Breach. Such notification must be provided by email with a copy to GRS’s primary business contact within Client and shall include sufficient information to allow Client to meet any reporting obligations under applicable Data Protection Legislation. GRS shall not inform any third party of any Security Breach except as may be strictly required by applicable law, without first obtaining Client’s prior written consent.
To the extent the Security Breach originates with GRS, GRS shall take steps to immediately identify and remediate the Security Breach and prevent any further Security Breach at GRS’s sole expense. GRS agrees that Client shall have the sole right to determine: (i) whether notice of the Security Breach is to be provided to any individuals, regulators, law enforcement agencies, consumer reporting agencies or others as required by law or regulation, or otherwise in Client’s discretion; and (ii) the contents of such notice, whether any type of remediation may be offered to affected persons, and the nature and extent of any such remediation.

12. | Return and Destruction of Client Personal Data |
At any time during the term of the Agreement, at Client’s request or immediately upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, GRS shall, and shall instruct all Subprocessors to, in Client’s sole discretion, either promptly: (i) return to Client all records and data containing Client Personal Data in a format and on storage media that Client may reasonably specify, and all copies, whether in written, electronic or other form or media, of Client Personal Data, or (ii) securely dispose of all such copies of Client Personal Data provided that GRS provides Client with a certificate of secure destruction. In each case, GRS shall comply with all directions provided by Client with respect to the return or disposal of Client Personal Data.
GRS may retain Client Personal Data to the extent required by applicable Data Protection Legislation but only for such period as required by such laws provided that GRS shall ensure the confidentiality of all such Client Personal Data and shall ensure that such Client Personal Data is only Processed as necessary for the purpose specified by the applicable Data Protection Legislation requiring its storage and for no other purpose.

HAVE AGREED on the following Standard Contractual Clauses (Clauses) in order to adduce adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data as set forth on Appendix 1 hereto.
Background
The data exporter has entered into a DPA with the data importer. Pursuant to the terms of the DPA, it is contemplated that services provided by the data importer will involve the transfer of personal data to data importer. Data importer is located in a country not ensuring an adequate level of data protection. To ensure compliance with Directive 95/46/EC and applicable Data Protection Legislation, the controller agrees to the provision of such Services, including the processing of personal data incidental thereto, subject to the data importer’s execution of, and compliance with, the terms of these Clauses.
Clause 1
Definitions
(a) | ‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and &’supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in the GDPR; [If these Clauses are governed by a law which extends the protection of data protection laws to corporate persons, the words “except that, if these Clauses govern a transfer of data relating to identified or identifiable corporate (as well as natural) persons, the definition of ‘personal data’ is expanded to include those data” are added.] | |
(b) | ‘the data exporter’ means the controller who transfers the personal data; |
(c) | ‘the data importer’ means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 45 of the GDPR; [If these Clauses are not governed by the law of a Member State, the words “and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 45 of the GDPR “are deleted.] |
40 |
(d) | the sub processor means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other sub processor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other sub processor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract; |
(e) | ‘the applicable Data Protection Legislation’ means the Data Protection Legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established; |
(f) | ‘technical and organizational security measures’ means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing. |
Clause 2
Details of the transfer
The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.
Clause 3
Third-party beneficiary clause
1. | The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary. |
2. | The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. |
3. | The data subject can enforce against the sub processor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the sub processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses. |
4. | The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law. Clause 4 |
Obligations of the data exporter
The data exporter agrees and warrants:
(a) | that the processing, including the transfer itself, of the personal data has been and will continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable Data Protection Legislation (and, where applicable, has been notified to the relevant authorities of the Member State where the data exporter is established) and does not violate the relevant provisions of that State; |
41 |
(b) | that it has instructed and throughout the duration of the personal data processing services will instruct the data importer to process the personal data transferred only on the data exporter’s behalf and in accordance with the applicable Data Protection Legislation and the Clauses; |
