your written instructions, unless Processing is required by United Kingdom or European Union or Member State law to which we may be subject, in which case we shall, to the extent permitted by United Kingdom or European Union or Member State law, inform the Customer of that legal requirement before Processing that Customer Personal Data.

3.2 Processing outside the scope of this DPA or the Agreement will require prior written agreement between the Customer and us on additional instructions for Processing.

3.3 Required consents. Where required by applicable Data Protection Laws, the Customer will ensure that the Customer has obtained/will obtain all necessary consents for the Processing of Customer Personal Data by us in accordance with the Agreement.

4. Transfer of Personal Data

4.1 The Customer agrees that we may use Subprocessors to fulfil our contractual obligations under the Agreement. We shall notify the Customer from time to time of the identity of any new Subprocessors we engage. If the Customer (acting reasonably) has a legitimate reason that relates to a new Subprocessor’s Processing of Customer Personal Data, the Customer may object to our use of the new Subprocessor by notifying us in writing within 30 days after receipt of our notice. If the Customer objects to our use of a new Subprocessor, the Parties will come together in good faith to discuss a resolution. If the Customer’s objection remains unresolved 30 days after it was raised, either Party may terminate the Agreement. If the Customer’s objection remains unresolved 60 days after it was raised, and we have not received any notice of termination, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the Subprocessor.

4.2 Save as set out in clauses 4.1 and 4.2, we shall not permit, allow or otherwise facilitate Subprocessors to Process Customer Personal Data without your prior written consent and unless we enter into a written agreement with the Subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the Subprocessor with regard to their Processing of Customer Personal Data, as are imposed on us under this DPA.

For this purpose, the Customer appoints Artesian as its agent with the authority to complete and enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses as agent for the Customer on its behalf for this purpose.

b. the United Kingdom for which the UK Data Protection Law (and not the law in any EEA jurisdiction or Switzerland) governs the international nature of the transfer, the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (available as of the Effective Date at https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/4019539/international-data-transfer-addendum.pdf) (“UK SCCs”) forms part of this DPA and takes precedence over the rest of this DPA as set forth in the UK SCCs.
