(b)

ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Customer Personal Data are obliged to keep it confidential;

Consequently, we will not be liable for any unauthorised or non-compliant loss, access or other processing of Customer Personal Data or any claim brought by a data subject arising from any action or omission by us, to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from your instructions or your failure to provide instructions. You will indemnify and hold us harmless against all losses, damages, expenses and costs (including court costs and reasonable legal fees) that we suffer or incur as a result of your instructions or your failure to provide instructions.

7.9

It is agreed between the Parties that we may store the Aggregated Data (including any elements of the Customer Personal Data that contain anonymous, aggregated and/or analytical data), and use the same to improve the Services and the different products and services which we offer to our customers.

17.3

Severance. If any provision (or part of a provision) of this Agreement is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in force.

17.4

Entire agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
