7.1. Processing.
7.1.1. Customer is (a) a Controller and exporter of any Personal Data that Varicent Processes on behalf of Customer (“Customer Personal Data”) or (b) acting as a Processor and exporter on behalf of other Controllers and has been instructed by and obtained the authorization of the relevant Controller(s) to agree to the Processing of Customer Personal Data by Varicent as importer and Customer’s Subprocessor as set out in the Agreement.

Varicent shall Process Customer Personal Data according to Customer’s instructions set forth in the Agreement, and, if applicable, Customer’s and its Authorized Users’ use and configuration of the features of the Cloud Service. Customer may provide further legally required instructions regarding the Processing of Customer Personal Data (“Additional Instructions”) as described in Section 9.2. If Varicent notifies Customer that an Additional Instruction is not feasible, the Parties shall work together to find an alternative. If Varicent notifies Customer that neither the Additional Instruction nor an alternative is feasible, Customer may terminate its use of the Cloud Service which cannot be accommodated by Varicent within 14 days of Varicent’s notification to the Customer. If Varicent believes an instruction violates the Data Protection Laws, Varicent shall immediately inform Customer, and may suspend the performance of such instruction until Customer has modified or confirmed its lawfulness in documented form. As of the Effective Date, Varicent does not believe that the laws and practices in any third country of destination applicable to its Processing of the Customer Personal Data prevent Varicent from fulfilling its obligations herein.
7.1.5. Customer shall serve as a single point of contact for Varicent. As other Controllers may have certain direct rights against Varicent, Customer undertakes to exercise all such rights on their behalf and to obtain all necessary permissions from the other Controllers. Varicent shall be discharged of its obligation to inform or notify another Controller when Varicent has provided such information or notice to Customer. Similarly, Varicent shall serve as a single point of contact for Customer with respect to its obligations as a Processor under the Agreement.
7.1.6. Varicent shall comply with all Data Protection Laws in respect of the Cloud Service applicable to Varicent as Processor. Varicent is not responsible for determining the requirements of Laws applicable to Customer’s business or that the Cloud Service meets the requirements of any such applicable Laws. As between the Parties, Customer is responsible for the lawfulness of the Processing of Customer Personal Data. Customer shall not use the Cloud Service in a manner that would violate applicable Data Protection Laws.
7.2. Data Subject Rights and Requests.
7.2.1. Varicent shall inform Customer of requests from Data Subjects exercising their Data Subject rights (including access, rectification, deletion, and blocking of data) addressed directly to Varicent regarding Customer Personal Data. Customer shall be responsible for handling such requests of Data Subjects. Varicent shall reasonably assist Customer in handling such Data Subject requests in accordance with Section 9.2.

A list of current Third Party Subprocessors is set out in in the applicable Software Schedule for the Software ordered by Customer in an Order. Additional Subprocessors and processing locations with respect to Professional Services may be outlined in a SOW or agreed-upon in writing to Customer. Varicent shall notify Customer in advance of any addition or replacement of such Subprocessors. Within thirty (30) days after Varicent’s notification of the intended change, Customer can object to the addition of a Subprocessor on the basis that such addition would cause Customer to violate applicable Law. Customer’s objection shall be in writing and include Customer's specific reasons for its objection and options to mitigate, if any. If Customer does not object within such period, the respective Subprocessor may be commissioned to Process Customer Personal Data. Varicent shall impose similar but no less protective data protection obligations as set out in this Schedule on any approved Subprocessor prior to the Subprocessor initiating any Processing of Customer Personal Data, as appropriate taking into account factors such as the nature, scope, context, purposes of the Processing, and access to Personal Data.
7.5.2. If Customer legitimately objects to the addition of a Subprocessor and Varicent cannot reasonably accommodate Customer’s objection, Varicent shall notify Customer and Customer may terminate the Cloud Service within 14 days of Varicent’s notification to the Customer; otherwise, the Parties shall cooperate to find a feasible solution in accordance with the dispute resolution process.
