If a Report does not provide, in Your reasonable judgment, sufficient information to confirm Ethnio’s compliance with the terms of this Processor DPA, then You or an accredited third-party audit firm agreed to by both You and Ethnio may audit Ethnio’s compliance with the terms of this Processor DPA during regular business hours in a manner that is not disruptive to Ethnio’s business, upon reasonable advance notice to Ethnio of no less than 60 days and subject to reasonable confidentiality procedures. You are responsible for all costs and fees related to such audit, including all reasonable costs and fees for any and all time Ethnio expends for any such audit, in addition to the rates for support services performed by Ethnio and any expenses incurred by Ethnio in complying with this Clause 4.3 and Clause 4.2.7. Before the commencement of any such audit, You and Ethnio shall mutually agree upon the timing, duration and scope of the audit, which shall not involve physical access to the servers from which the data processing services are provided. You shall promptly notify Ethnio of information regarding any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit. You may not audit Ethnio more than once annually.

5. Transfer, Disclosure and Third Parties

5.1 You acknowledge and agree that (a) Ethnio’s affiliates may be retained as sub-processors and (b) Ethnio and Ethnio’s affiliates may engage third parties in connection with the provision of the data processing services. Ethnio or a Ethnio affiliate shall enter into contractual arrangements with such sub-processors requiring them to guarantee a similar level of data protection compliance and information security to that provided for herein. For the purposes of this Clause 5, You hereby authorise Ethnio to engage sub-processors required to assist Ethnio for the purposes of providing the data processing services.

You may object to Ethnio’s engagement of a new sub-processor by ceasing to use the applicable product, program or feature prior to the Sub-Processor Effective Date. Your continued use of the applicable product, program or feature on or after the Sub-Processor Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the new sub-processor.
