10.1. At the choice of Customer, MEFERI shall delete or return all Personal Data to Customer after the end of the provision of Services relating to Processing, and delete existing copies unless Union or Member State law requires storage of the Personal Data (Article 28(3)(g) GDPR).

12.1. MEFERI shall not transfer Personal Data to any country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or a country deemed adequate by the European Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR without ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by Chapter V of the GDPR (e.g., by entering into Standard Contractual Clauses as approved by the European Commission).

12.2. The primary data processing locations for the Services, specifically where Customer Personal Data is hosted by MEFERI on its main cloud infrastructure, will be within the European Economic Area (EEA), utilizing the Amazon Web Services (AWS) region eu-west-3 (Paris, France).

In such cases, the third-party provider may act as a Controller or Processor for the Personal Data they handle in connection with their services, as determined by Customer’s agreement with that third party.

13.3. This DPA governs only the Processing of Personal Data by MEFERI as a Processor for Customer.

16.2. If MEFERI makes a material change to this DPA, MEFERI will provide Customer with reasonable notice of the change (e.g., via email to the Customer’s designated contact or a notification within the Services). Customer’s continued use of the Services after such notice period will constitute acceptance of the amended DPA. If Customer objects to a material change, Customer may terminate the Main Agreement in accordance with its terms.

17. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17.1. Governing Law: This DPA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws stipulated as the governing law in the Main Agreement entered into between the Customer and the MEFERI entity party to such Main Agreement (“Contracting MEFERI Entity”).

In the event the Main Agreement provides for arbitration:

i. Such arbitration shall be the primary mechanism for resolving Disputes under this DPA. ii. Unless otherwise specified in the Main Agreement, or if the Main Agreement is silent on the specifics of arbitration for matters related to this DPA, the Parties agree that any such Dispute may be submitted to arbitration administered by a mutually agreed internationally recognized arbitration institution (such as the Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration (SCIA), the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), or the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), or an appropriate institution within the European Union if the Contracting MEFERI Entity is an EU-based affiliate). iii. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The seat or legal place of arbitration shall be as specified in the Main Agreement or, if not specified or if a different location is mutually agreed for a specific Dispute, a location chosen by mutual agreement of the Parties, or failing such agreement within a reasonable period, by the Contracting MEFERI Entity. iv. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on both Parties, subject to any rights of appeal permitted by the laws of the seat of arbitration for procedural unfairness or lack of jurisdiction.

d. If the Main Agreement specifies court litigation, the courts specified therein shall have jurisdiction, subject to Section 17.3 below.

17.3. Mandatory Data Protection Law Considerations: a. Notwithstanding any other provision in this DPA or the Main Agreement, where Applicable Data Protection Law (including, but not limited to, the GDPR) grants a Data Subject mandatory rights to bring proceedings before the courts of their habitual residence or place of work, or the place where an alleged infringement occurred, or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, such rights shall not be prejudiced by the terms of this DPA. b.

However, the authoritative storage and primary processing of Customer Personal Data for the Services will remain in the AWS region specified above (eu-west-3). MEFERI will ensure that any Customer Personal Data distributed via CDN is handled in accordance with GDPR requirements.

China, or other countries depending on the Customer’s location and MEFERI’s service network. MEFERI will provide information on the location of the specific repair center upon request or as part of the RMA process where feasible.

For any transfer of Customer Personal Data to such providers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in a country not deemed adequate by the European Commission, MEFERI ensures that appropriate transfer mechanisms under Chapter V of the GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), are in place. Access to Personal Data on devices is limited to what is necessary for diagnostics and repair.
