10.1. In the provision to the Client of the services described above, ORQUEST will be considered as the Data Controller, which implies access to the personal data processed by the Client as Data Processor.
10.2. In order to regulate the relationship between the parties in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, the parties undertake to comply with the following obligations:

(b) ORQUEST, as Data Controller, shall have access for the provision of its services to the data of the persons designated by the Client as users of the platforms developed by ORQUEST, in particular to their professional e-mail addresses.
(c) ORQUEST undertakes to observe all the provisions, organizational and technical measures that may be necessary and to carry out all those acts that may be required or simply recommended in order to strictly comply with the obligations that correspond to it as data processor, in accordance with the regulations in force. Likewise, he or she must assist the person responsible for data protection in the fulfilment of the established obligations and keep the supporting documentation at his or her disposal. He/she will also collaborate with the Responsible in the response to the exercise of the rights by the interested parties.
(d) ORQUEST undertakes to keep the due confidentiality regarding the personal data to which it may have access during the provision of the service, even if the access was accidental, as well as to transfer this obligation to those workers involved in the data processing.
(e) The data processor undertakes to destroy or return, after the end of the service provision relationship, at the discretion of the data controller, the personal data to which he had access. Notwithstanding the above, the destruction of the data will not proceed when there is a legal provision that requires its conservation, in which case the data must be returned guaranteeing such conservation.
(f) The person in charge of the treatment must implement the technical and organizational measures that correspond to maintain the security of the data, avoiding its alteration, loss, treatment or non authorized access, all this in accordance with the state of the technology, the nature of the data and the possible risks to which they are exposed.
(g) The Parties will proceed to the treatment of the personal data contained in this contract, and the subsequent ones that may be generated during the execution of this contract, with the purpose of managing the relationship between the parties, legitimated in that such treatment is necessary for the execution of this contract.

The parties undertake to adopt the necessary compliance measures in case of international transfer of data, providing adequate guarantees to ensure compliance with data protection requirements and the rights of the data subjects. In particular, these measures must relate to compliance with the general principles relating to the processing of personal data and the principles of data protection from the design and default.
(i) The data will be kept after the end of the contractual relationship for the periods of time that arise from the prescription of legal actions related to this treatment.
(j) The interested parties may exercise their rights of access, rectification, suppression and portability of their data, limitation or opposition to the treatment by contacting the address indicated in the heading of this Agreement, attaching a photocopy of their DNI or similar document (driving license, NIE or passport) and indicating the right they wish to exercise. In addition, you can file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency at www.agpd.es.
10.3. Each party shall ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures, reviewed and approved by the other party, to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it).
10.4. The Customer consents to ORQUEST appointing Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL (AWS) as a third-party processor of personal data under this Agreement. Where ORQUEST wishes to replace AWS or to appoint an additional third-party processor of personal data under this Agreement, ORQUEST confirms that it will enter with the third-party processor into a written agreement incorporating terms which are substantially similar to those set out in this clause. As between the Customer and ORQUEST, ORQUEST shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by it pursuant to this clause.
10.5. Either party may, at any time on not less than thirty (30) days’ notice, revise this clause by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this Agreement).
11.1 If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Customer except with ORQUEST’s prior written consent. ORQUEST may transfer and assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent.
11.2 No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Customer does not have any authority of any kind to bind ORQUEST in any respect whatsoever.
11.3 All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

The contracting parties must collaborate in good faith in the publication of at least one press release, drafted by mutual agreement, at least 120 days from the Effective Date, and the Client undertakes to collaborate reasonably with ORQUEST to serve as a reference account if so requested. The Client authorizes ORQUEST to include the Client’s logo on its web page and other marketing material, committing itself to collaborate in the elaboration of a practical case study and other promotional material. The cost associated with the production of such material shall be borne by ORQUEST.
12.1 Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform or delay in performing its obligations if caused by acts of war, hostility or sabotage; force majeure; pandemics; interruption of telecommunications, Internet or electrical services not caused by the obligor; governmental restrictions (including denial or cancellation of any export, import or other license); or any other event beyond the reasonable control of the obligor. Both parties will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of a force majeure event. If such an event persists for more than 30 days, either party may cancel outstanding Services and affected orders by giving written notice. This provision does not relieve the parties of the obligation to take reasonable steps to follow their normal disaster recovery procedures or Your obligation to pay for the Services.
13.1 This contract shall be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of Spain, and the Client and ORQUEST agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the city of Madrid, which are the headquarters of ORQUEST, for any dispute related to this contract.
The Services will be available 99.9% of the time, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends, as well as scheduled maintenance intervals that will be notified in advance to the Customer. If the Client requests maintenance tasks to be performed during the computable hours, any period affected by such maintenance will be excluded from the calculation of the times of availability of the Services. Likewise, any unavailability deriving from an interruption in the supply or connection services provided by third parties, or from any other cause beyond ORQUEST’s control, shall not be taken into account for said calculation.
The only and exclusive compensation available to the Client, which shall also be considered the maximum responsibility attributable to ORQUEST, in relation to the availability of the Service shall be that ORQUEST shall discount the Client from the monthly fee the proportional amount of one day of the Services for each period of 60 consecutive minutes (or more) of unavailability; although no more than one discount of this type may be accrued per day.
The unavailability interval will begin at the time the Client becomes aware that the Services are unavailable (by notifying ORQUEST), and will end when the availability of the Services is restored. In order to benefit from the unavailability discount, the Client must notify ORQUEST in writing of this circumstance within 12 hours of the interruption; if the Client does not do so, he or she will lose the right to benefit from the unavailability discount.
These discounts may not be replaced by cash payments, and in no case may discounts be accumulated, in one (1) same calendar month, for a collective amount greater than the Fee for the Services corresponding to one (1) week. ORQUEST shall only apply the discount to its invoicing corresponding to the month in which the incident occurs. The blocking by ORQUEST of its data communications and other Services in accordance with its own policies shall not be considered a breach by ORQUEST of its agreed service levels under this Contract.
