INTRODUCTION

This Data Processing Addendum (“Addendum”) forms part of the Master Subscription Agreement or other written or electronic agreement between INVENSYS and Customer for the purchase of online services (including associated INVENSYS offline or mobile components) from INVENSYS (identified either as “Services” or otherwise in the applicable agreement, and hereinafter defined as “Services”) (the “Agreement”) to reflect the parties’ agreement with regard to the Processing of Personal Data.

By signing this Addendum, Customer enters into this Addendum on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, if and to the extent INVENSYS processes Personal Data for which such Authorized Affiliates qualify as the Controller.

For the purposes of this Addendum only, and except where indicated otherwise, the term “Customer” shall include Customer and Authorized Affiliates. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

In the course of providing the Services to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, INVENSYS may Process Personal Data on behalf of Customer and the Parties agree to comply with the following provisions with respect to any Personal Data, each acting reasonably and in good faith.

HOW TO EXECUTE THIS ADDENDUM

This Addendum has been pre-signed on behalf of INVENSYS legal entities.

To complete this Addendum, Customer must complete the information in the signature box and sign on Section 12.

Send the completed and signed Addendum to INVENSYS by email, indicating the Customer’s Legal Name (as set out on the applicable Software as a Service (SaaS) for Wheels Car Rental System Agreement or invoice), to privacy@wheelsys.com.

Upon receipt of the validly completed Addendum by INVENSYS at the above address, INVENSYS will review this Addendum and confirm by e-mail to the sender address. This Addendum will become legally binding from the date the Addendum is confirmed by INVENSYS.

HOW THIS ADDENDUM APPLIES

If the Customer entity signing this Addendum is a party to the Agreement, this Addendum is an Addendum to and forms part of the Agreement. In such case, the INVENSYS entity that is party to the Agreement is party to this Addendum.

If the Customer entity signing this Addendum has executed an Order Form with INVENSYS or its Affiliate pursuant to the Agreement, but is not itself a party to the Agreement, this Addendum is an Addendum to that Order Form and applicable renewal Order Forms, and the INVENSYS entity that is party to such Order Form is party to this Addendum.

If the Customer entity signing this Addendum is neither a party to an Order Form nor the Agreement, this Addendum is not valid and is not legally binding. Such entity should request that the Customer entity who is a party to the Agreement executes this Addendum.

If the Customer entity signing the Addendum is not a party to an Order Form nor a Master Services Agreement directly with INVENSYS, but is instead a customer indirectly via an authorized reseller of INVENSYS services, this Addendum is not valid and is not legally binding. Such entity should contact the authorized reseller to discuss whether any amendment to its agreement with that reseller may be required.

This Addendum shall not replace any comparable or additional rights relating to Processing of Customer Data contained in Customer’s Agreement (including any existing data processing Addendum to the Agreement).

The parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the Agreement, the Customer enters into the Addendum on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate Addendum between INVENSYS and each such Authorized Affiliate subject to the provisions of the Agreement and this Section 9 and Section 10. Each Authorized Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this Addendum and, to the extent applicable, the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, an Authorized Affiliate is not and does not become a party to the Agreement, and is only a party to the Addendum. All access to and use of the Services and Content by Authorized Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and any violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement by an Authorized Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Customer.

9.2. Communication

The Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with INVENSYS under this Addendum and be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this Addendum on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates.

9.3. Rights of Authorized Affiliates

Where an Authorized Affiliate becomes a party to the Addendum with INVENSYS, it shall to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations be entitled to exercise the rights and seek remedies under this Addendum, subject to the following:

Except where applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations require the Authorized Affiliate to exercise a right or seek any remedy under this Addendum against INVENSYS directly by itself, the parties agree that (i) solely the Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such right or seek any such remedy on behalf of the Authorized Affiliate, and (ii) the Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such rights under this Addendum not separately for each Authorized Affiliate individually but in a combined manner for all of its Authorized Affiliates together (as set forth, for example, in Section 9.3.2, below).

The parties agree that the Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall, when carrying out an on-site audit of the procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data, take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on INVENSYS and its Sub-Processors by combining, to the extent reasonable possible, several audit requests carried out on behalf of different Authorized Affiliates in one single audit.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this Addendum, and all Addendums between Authorized Affiliates and INVENSYS, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the ‘Limitation of Liability’ section of the Addendum and Agreement – if provisioned, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and all Addendums together.

For the avoidance of doubt, INVENSYS and its Affiliates’ total liability for all claims from the Customer and all of its Authorized Affiliates arising out of or related to the Agreement and each Addendum shall apply in the aggregate for all claims under both the Agreement and all Addendums established under this Agreement, including by Customer and all Authorized Affiliates, and, in particular, shall not be understood to apply individually and severally to Customer and/or to any Authorized Affiliate that is a contractual party to any such Addendum.

Also for the avoidance of doubt, each reference to the Addendum in this Addendum means this Addendum including its Schedules and Appendices.
