Welcome to Inkit Inc.’s Terms of Service.
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the use of Inkit’s services (the “Services”), which include its website, software, and mobile app, as well as any information, data, text, images, videos, audio files, content, and other materials uploaded to or downloaded from, stored on, obtained via, or transmitted through the Services (collectively, the “Content”).
Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Services or by clicking to accept the Terms when that option is made available to you, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.
1. THE SERVICES.
Inkit operates a technology platform that allows customers to generate and distribute documents and manage third-party document services. Users who create an account to use the Services may be referred to in these Terms as “Customers.” Content submitted by Customers may be referred to in these Terms as “Customer Data.” Service providers that provide underlying third-party services to the Customers may be referred to in these Terms as “Vendors.”

Inkit is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to do so. If you know of or reasonably suspect a breach of security related to your account, you must immediately notify Inkit and modify your login information. Inkit reserves the right to remove or reclaim usernames for any reason.

Please read this section carefully since it limits the liability of Inkit and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and licensors (collectively, the “Inkit Entities”). Each of the subsections below applies only up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, and as a result, the contents of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may have that may not be lawfully limited.
10.1. The Services are Available “As-Is.” Your use of the Services and the Content is at your own risk. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the Services (including its related services and features) are provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE" basis. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, THE INKIT ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
The Inkit Entities make no warranty and disclaim all responsibility and liability for: (1) the completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security, or reliability of the Services or the Content, whether user-supplied or not; (2) any harm to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Services or Content; (3) the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, Content and other communications maintained by the Inkit Entities; and (4) whether the Services will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, prompt, secure, or error-free basis. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the Inkit Entities or through the Services will create any warranty not expressly made herein.
10.2. Links. The Services may contain links to third-party websites and resources. The Inkit Entities are not responsible or liable for: (1) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources; or (2) the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by the Inkit Entities of such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites or resources. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any such websites or resources.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE INKIT ENTITIES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (1) THE SERVICES; (2) THE CONTENT; (3) YOUR USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES; (4) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT; OR (5) ANY ACTION OR INACTION BY ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) WHETHER A VENDOR’S PLATFORM, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES PROPERLY INTEGRATE WITH INKIT’S SERVICES OR WHETHER A CUSTOMER’S DATA AND ITS DISSEMINATION COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE LAW.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE INKIT ENTITIES EXCEED THE GREATER OF $2,500 OR THE AMOUNT INKIT RECEIVED FOR PROVIDING YOU WITH THE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CORRESPONDING CLAIM.
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE INKIT ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
YOU AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT YOU INCUR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR INJURIES THAT ARISE OUT OF INKIT'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS, THE DAMAGES, IF ANY, CAUSED TO YOU ARE NOT IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION PREVENTING ANY EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, SERVICE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT, OR OTHER CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THE INKIT ENTITIES, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ENJOIN OR RESTRAIN THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, ADVERTISING, EXHIBITION, OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR OTHER CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THE INKIT ENTITIES.
BY ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY BE WAIVING RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS THAT ARE AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN OR UNSUSPECTED, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH WAIVER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE BENEFITS OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA (AND ANY SIMILAR LAW OF ANY STATE OR TERRITORY), WHICH PROVIDES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
10.4. Indemnity. You hereby indemnify the Inkit Entities from any demand, damages, liability, expenses, and losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, relating to any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding related to or arising out of: (1) your use or misuse of the Services or the Content; (2) any Customer Data or other Content provided or submitted by you; (3) any breach or alleged breach by you of these Terms; and (4) any misrepresentation made by you in connection with this agreement.

11.1. Evolving Services. The Services are always evolving and may change from time to time without notice. Inkit may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any feature) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with notice. Further, Inkit may modify the Services at its discretion. New features will be subject to these Terms.
11.2. Changes to Terms. Inkit may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be located here. If the revision, in Inkit’s discretion, is material, Inkit will notify you via email to the email address associated with your account or by posting notice to its website. In consideration for your access to the Services, you agree to check back here from time to time to determine if the Terms have been revised. By continuing to access or use the Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

11.5. Waiver and Severability. Inkit’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized Inkit representative. In the event that any provision of these Terms (in whole or in part) is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.
11.6. Controlling Law and Arbitration. The Terms and any related actions are governed by Delaware law, without regard to or application of Delaware’s conflict of law provisions or those of any other jurisdiction, including your state or country of residence. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT BETWEEN INKIT AND YOURSELF OR AS TO THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE SUBMITTED EXCLUSIVELY TO ARBITRATION BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS APPLICABLE RULES, IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. AN AWARD OF ARBITRATION MAY BE CONFIRMED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. You agree that you and Inkit are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to participate in a class action or class arbitration. The following is a list of exceptions to the foregoing dispute resolution requirements:
(1) Either you or Inkit may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in New York, New York without first engaging in arbitration.
(2) Inkit may bring a lawsuit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the Services without first engaging in arbitration.
(3) Inkit may bring a lawsuit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any intellectual property infringement without first engaging in arbitration.
(4) If the agreement to arbitrate is found to be unenforceable, then you agree that any resulting judicial proceedings will be brought in the federal or state courts of New York, NY, and by your use of the Services you expressly consent to venue and personal jurisdiction of those courts.
11.7. Entire Agreement. The Terms are the entire and exclusive agreement between Inkit and you regarding the Services and Content (excluding any separate written agreement with Inkit that is expressly in addition to, or in place of, these Terms), and these Terms supersede and replace any prior agreements between Inkit and you regarding the Services and Content.
11.8. Construction. The headings in this agreement are inserted for reference only and do not limit the scope, extent, or intent of the agreement or its provisions. As used in this agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations, are considered to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

11.9. Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles of that state or any other jurisdiction. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED EXCLUSIVELY TO, AND SETTLED EXCLUSIVELY BY, ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY JAMS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS APPLICABLE RULES, IN NEW YORK, NEWYORK. Each Party hereby agrees that it is waiving its right to a trial by jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inkit has the right to bring a lawsuit against the Customer in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the Services without first engaging in arbitration.
11.10. Interpretation. The section headings in this Agreement are only for convenience and are not intended to be considered in interpreting any provision herein. The term “including” and its variants when used in this Agreement are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the Parties; accordingly, this Agreement is the product of all of the Parties, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the Parties.
11.11. Force Majeure. Neither Party will be in breach of this Agreement for any cessation, interruption, or delay in the performance of its obligations due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including earthquake, flood, or other natural disaster, act of God, labor controversy (exclusive of a labor controversy with such Party’s own employees), civil disturbance, terrorism, war (whether or not officially declared), or the inability to obtain sufficient supplies, transportation, or other essential commodity or service required in the conduct of its business, or any change in or the adoption of any law, regulation, judgment, or decree (“event of Force Majeure”). In the event of the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure, the Party prevented from or delayed in performing its obligations hereunder must use all commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other Party as soon as commercially practicable of: (1) the existence of the event of Force Majeure and a reasonably detailed description of such event; and (2) the effect of the event of Force Majeure on such Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Any Party so affected shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effects of the event of Force Majeure and to update the other Party of all such efforts and any changes in the existence of the event of Force Majeure, as necessary. The affected Party will resume performance as soon as commercially practicable after it is no longer subject to the event of Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a Party is subject to an event of Force Majeure for longer than 30 consecutive days, the Parties agree that they will discuss, in good faith, potential modifications to this Agreement to address the event of Force Majeure and, if an agreement cannot be reached, the unaffected Party has the right to immediately terminate the Agreement; provided that the unaffected Party does so during the continuation of such event of Force Majeure and within 30 days from the date such discussions commenced.
11.12. Government Terms. Inkit provides the Services for ultimate federal government end use solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Customer (or any of its Users) is an agency, department, or other entity of any government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Services, and any related documentation, is restricted by the terms of this Agreement. All other use is prohibited and no rights than those provided in this Agreement are conferred. The Services were developed fully at private expense.
11.13. Counterparts. Any Order Form may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together constitute one legal instrument. Any Order Form may be executed by digital, electronic, or PDF signature.

HAVE AGREED on the following Contractual Clauses (the 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 specified in Appendix 1.
*********************
Clause 1
Definitions
For the purposes of the Clauses:
(a) 'personal data', 'special categories of data', 'process/processing', 'controller', 'processor', 'data subject' and 'supervisory authority' shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data[1];
(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 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;
(d) 'the subprocessor' means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor 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 law' means the 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, unauthorized 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 subprocessor 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 subprocessor 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 law (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;
(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 law and the Clauses;
(c) that the data importer will provide sufficient guarantees in respect of the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 to this contract;
(d) that after assessment of the requirements of the applicable data protection law, the security measures are appropriate to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing, and that these measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks presented by the processing and the nature of the data to be protected having regard to the state of the art and the cost of their implementation;
(e) that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;
(f) that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;
(g) to forward any notification received from the data importer or any subprocessor pursuant to Clause 5(b) and Clause 8(3) to the data protection supervisory authority if the data exporter decides to continue the transfer or to lift the suspension;
(h) to make available to the data subjects upon request a copy of the Clauses, with the exception of Appendix 2, and a summary description of the security measures, as well as a copy of any contract for subprocessing services which has to be made in accordance with the Clauses, unless the Clauses or the contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information;
(i) that, in the event of subprocessing, the processing activity is carried out in accordance with Clause 11 by a subprocessor providing at least the same level of protection for the personal data and the rights of data subject as the data importer under the Clauses; and
(j) that it will ensure compliance with Clause 4(a) to (i).
Clause 5
Obligations of the data importer[2]
The data importer agrees and warrants:
(a) to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions and the Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
(b) that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
(c) that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;
(d) that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:
(i) any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,
(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access, and
(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;
(e) to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;
(f) at the request of the data exporter to submit its data processing facilities for audit of the processing activities covered by the Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory authority;
(g) to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses, or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of Appendix 2 which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;
(h) that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent;
(i) that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11;
(j) to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the data exporter.
Clause 6
Liability
1. The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
3. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
Clause 7
Mediation and jurisdiction
1. The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
(a) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
(b) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
2. The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.
Clause 8
Cooperation with supervisory authorities
1. The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
2. The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
3. The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Subprocessing
1. The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses[3]. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.
2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
4. The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.
Clause 12
Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
1. The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
2. The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

APPENDIX 2 TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES
This Appendix forms part of the Clauses and must be completed and signed by the parties.
Description of the technical and organisational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(d) and 5(c) (or document/legislation attached):
Refer to Inkit’s Security, Privacy, and Architecture Datasheet attached as Schedule 1 to the DPA.
[1] Parties may reproduce definitions and meanings contained in Directive 95/46/EC within this Clause if they considered it better for the contract to stand alone.
[2] Mandatory requirements of the national legislation applicable to the data importer which do not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society on the basis of one of the interests listed in Article 13(1) of Directive 95/46/EC, that is, if they constitute a necessary measure to safeguard national security, defence, public security, the prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences or of breaches of ethics for the regulated professions, an important economic or financial interest of the State or the protection of the data subject or the rights and freedoms of others, are not in contradiction with the standard contractual clauses. Some examples of such mandatory requirements which do not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society are, interalia, internationally recognised sanctions, tax- reporting requirements or anti-money-laundering reporting requirements.
[3] This requirement may be satisfied by the subprocessor co-signing the contract entered into between the data exporter and the data importer under this Decision.
