11.2.1 The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Service Provider harmless from and against any and all damages, costs, losses and expenses, direct or indirect, arising out of or in connection with the Purchaser’s use of any Services or Results, including but not limited to any Third party claims on Intellectual Property Rights infringement.

11.2.2 The Service Provider shall after receipt of notice of a claim related to the Purchaser’s use of any Services or Results from the Service Provider notify the Purchaser of such claim in writing and the Purchaser shall following receipt of such notice, to the extent permitted under applicable law, at its own cost conduct negotiations with the Third party presenting the claim and/or intervene in any suit or action. The Purchaser shall at all times keep the Service Provider informed of the status and progress of the claim and consult with the Service Provider on appropriate actions to take. If the Purchaser fails to or chooses not to take actions to defend the Service Provider within a reasonable time, or at any time ceases to make such efforts, the Service Provider shall be entitled to assume control over the defence against such claim and/or over any settlement negotiation at the Purchaser’s cost. Any settlement proposed by the Purchaser on its own account must take account of potential implications for the Service Provider and shall therefore be agreed in writing with the Service Provider before settlement. Each Party will at no cost furnish to the other Party all data, records, and assistance within that Party’s control that are of importance in order to properly defend against a claim.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

12.1 Neither Party shall be responsible for any indirect, incidental or consequential damage or any losses of production or profit caused by it under this Service Agreement.

12.2 Each Party’s aggregate liability for any direct damage arising out of or in connection with this Service Agreement shall be limited to ten per cent (10 %) of the Service Charges payable by Purchaser to the Service Provider hereunder.

12.3 The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 12 shall not apply in respect of damage;

(a) caused by wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or

(b) caused by a Party’s breach of the confidentiality undertakings in Section 14 below.

13. GOVERNANCE AND CHANGES

13.1 Governance

13.1.1 The Parties shall act in good faith in all matters and shall at all times co-operate in respect of changes to this Service Agreement as well as issues and/or disputes arising under this Service Agreement.

13.1.2 The governance and co-operation between the Parties in respect of this Service Agreement shall primarily be administered on an operational level. In the event the Parties on an operational level cannot agree upon inter alia the prioritisation of Services or other aspects relating to the co-operation between the Parties, each Party shall be entitled to escalate such issue to the Steering Committee.

13.1.3 If the Steering Committee fails to agree upon a solution of the disagreement the relevant issue should be escalated to the Strategic Board for decision.

Appendix 2—Service Agreement (ME) 10(16)

13.2 Changes

13.2.1 Up until Job1+90, the Purchaser can request changes to the Service Specification, which shall be handled in accordance with the governance procedure set forth in Section 13.1 above. Both Parties agree to act in good faith to address and respond to any change request within a reasonable period of time.

13.2.2 The Parties acknowledge that the Service Provider will not perform in accordance with such change request until agreed in writing between the Parties. For the avoidance of any doubt, until there is agreement about the requested change, all work shall continue in accordance with the existing Service Specification.

13.2.3 The Parties further acknowledge that the Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs which relates to changes to the Work as well as other changes which are requested by the Purchaser.

14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

14.1 The Parties shall take any and all necessary measures to comply with the security and confidentiality procedures of the other Party.

14.2 All Confidential Information shall only be used for the purposes comprised by the fulfilment of this Service Agreement. Each Party will keep in confidence any Confidential Information obtained in relation to this Service Agreement and will not divulge the same to any Third Party, unless the exceptions specifically set forth below in this Section 14.2 below apply, in order to obtain patent protection or when approved by the other Party in writing, and with the exception of their own officers, employees, consultants or subcontractors with a need to know as to enable such personnel to perform their duties hereunder. This provision will not apply to Confidential Information which the Receiving Party can demonstrate:

(a) was in the public domain other than by breach of this undertaking, or by another confidentiality undertaking;

(b) was already in the possession of the Receiving Party before its receipt from the Disclosing Party;

(c) is obtained from a Third Party who is free to divulge the same;

(d) is required to be disclosed by mandatory law, court order, lawful government action or applicable stock exchange regulations;

(e) is reasonably necessary for either Party to utilize its rights and use of its Intellectual Property Rights; or

(f) is developed or created by one Party independently of the other, without any part thereof having been developed or created with assistance or information received from the other Party.

Appendix 2—Service Agreement (ME) 10(16)

14.3 The Receiving Party shall protect the disclosed Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the dissemination to Third Parties or publication of the Confidential Information, as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of similar nature. Further, each Party shall ensure that its employees and consultants are bound by a similar duty of confidentiality and that any subcontractors taking part in the fulfilment of that Party’s obligations hereunder, enters into a confidentiality undertaking containing in essence similar provisions as those set forth in this Section 14.

14.4 Any tangible materials that disclose or embody Confidential Information should be marked by the Disclosing Party as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or the substantial equivalent thereof. Confidential Information that is disclosed orally or visually shall be identified by the Disclosing Party as confidential at the time of disclosure, with subsequent confirmation in writing within thirty (30) days after disclosure. However, the lack of marking or subsequent confirmation that the disclosed information shall be regarded as “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or the substantial equivalent thereof does not disqualify the disclosed information from being classified as Confidential Information.

14.5 If any Party violates any of its obligations described in this Section 14, the violating Party shall, upon notification from the other Party, (i) immediately cease to proceed such harmful violation and take all actions needed to rectify said behaviour and (ii) financially compensate for the harm suffered as determined by an arbitral tribunal pursuant to Section 18.2 below. All legal remedies (compensatory but not punitive in nature) according to law shall apply.

14.6 This confidentiality provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Service Agreement without limitation in time.

15. TERM AND TERMINATION

15.1 This Service Agreement shall become effective as set forth in the preamble in the Individual Terms and shall, unless terminated in accordance with Section 15.2 below, remain in force until Job1+90.

15.2 Either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Service Agreement with immediate effect in the event;

(a) the other Party commits a material breach of the terms of this Service Agreement, which has not been remedied within fourteen (14) days from written notice from the other Party to remedy such breach (if capable of being remedied); or

(b) if the other Party should become insolvent or enter into negotiations on composition with its creditors or a petition in bankruptcy should be filed by it or it should make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

15.3 The Purchaser shall in addition be entitled to cancel the Services performed by the Service Provider for convenience upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Service Provider.

15.4 In the event the Purchaser cancels the Services in accordance with Section 15.3 above, the Service Charges shall, in addition to what is set out in the Individual Terms, include any other reasonable proven costs Service Provider has incurred until the effective date of the cancellation.

15.5 Either Party shall in addition be entitled to terminate this Service Agreement for convenience upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other Party.

18.1.1 In case the Parties cannot agree on a joint solution for handling disagreements or disputes, a deadlock situation shall be deemed to have occurred and each Party shall notify the other Party hereof by the means of a deadlock notice and simultaneously send a copy of the notice to the Steering Committee. Upon the receipt of such a deadlock notice, the receiving Party shall within ten (10) days of receipt, prepare and circulate to the other Party a statement setting out its position on the matter in dispute and reasons for adopting such position, and simultaneously send a copy of its statement to the Steering Committee.

Each of the Purchaser and the Service Provider are referred to as a “Party” and, jointly, as the “Parties”.

1. BACKGROUND

The Parties have entered into an agreement regarding the provision of certain services (the “Agreement”).

Capitalised terms used in this Data Processing Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement, unless otherwise stated. Terms used but not defined in this Data Processing Agreement shall have the same meaning as set out in Article 4 in the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, as may be amended, updated, replaced or superseded from time to time (the “GDPR”) if not expressly stated otherwise.

Now, therefore, the Parties agree as follows.

2. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

2.2 The Service Provider shall to the extent any Personal Data (as defined in applicable laws, rules and regulations) is processed by the Service Provider on behalf of the Purchaser under the Agreement:

(c) implement appropriate technical and organizational measures required pursuant to Article 32 in the GDPR;

(e) to the extent Personal Data will be transferred to a country that does not ensure an adequate level of data protection, the Service Provider shall inform the Purchaser and ensure that the Personal Data is safeguarded through e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission prior to any transfer of Personal Data or any other allowed means of transfer under the GDPR;

(f) assist the Purchaser to respond to requests from Data Subjects’ (as defined in applicable laws, rules and regulations) pursuant to Chapter III in the GDPR by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures;

(g) assist the Purchaser to fulfil its obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 in the GDPR;

(h) on termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, return or delete, at the Purchaser’s choice, all Personal Data processed under the Agreement, unless the Service Provider is required to retain the Personal Data by applicable laws, rules and regulations; and

(i) make available to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s request (at no cost to the Purchaser) all information necessary to demonstrate Purchaser’s and Service Provider’ compliance with the obligations laid down in Article 28 in the GDPR and in this Data Processing Agreement and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Purchaser or another auditor mandated by the Purchaser.

2.3 The intended processing of Personal Data shall be specified according to applicable laws, rules and regulations, for each processing activity, in the relevant Service Specification.
