Effective 7th September 2024 starting:

  1. This Agreement:

1.1 This document, any Order Form, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, our European Data Processing Terms and any other referenced policies and attachments together comprise the agreement between Lockbox Technologies Pty Limited (ABN 53 621 048 431) (“Lockbox”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and you (the “Agreement”). “You”, “you”, your” etc. means as relevant:

(a) you as our Customer in respect of the provision of the Lockbox Services

(b) you as a 3PP

(c) you as a User

The Agreement applies to every instance of use by you of the Lockbox Services separately. The latest version of the Agreement is the version published to www.athenaboard.com/term-conditions and governs each use of the Lockbox Services by you. Any changes to the Agreement over time are deemed accepted by you by you choosing to continue to use the Lockbox Services.

1.2 Subscription Plans

Customers subscribe to the Lockbox Services by reference to the number of users (“User Subscription Plan”) or on some other basis as agreed between the relevant parties (which includes, but is not limited to, being provided with access to certain functionality within the Lockbox Services for free). Subscription plan commercial terms will be set out in a commercial document the Customer agrees to (“Order Form”).

The pricing for a User Subscription Plan, all Users will be invoiced to the Customer. In circumstances where the number of Users increases, the relevant pricing for the User Subscription Plan will increase.  The Customer is not entitled to any credit in respect of User capacity not utilised.

For the purposes of this Agreement.

“3PP” means a third party authorised by the Customer, such as a professional adviser.

“Users” means the Customer’s employees, agents, contractors, service providers including advisors or consultants who are authorised by the Customer to use the Lockbox Services and who have been supplied with access to the Lockbox Services by the Customer or by Lockbox at the Customer’s request to enable those persons to use and/or access the Lockbox Services.

“Order Form” means any commercial document which the Customer (or 3PP, as relevant) signs or agrees to and which sets out the information relevant to the Customer’s User Subscription Plan.

1.3 In circumstances where the Customer requires different services, individual Agreements in respect of each of those services may apply.

1.4 By using any of the Lockbox Services you accept the Agreement as binding and enforceable. If you do not agree, you must not use or access the Lockbox Services. By using the Lockbox Services you are expressly agreeing to the latest form of the Agreement.

  1. The Lockbox Services

2.1 We will use all reasonable commercial efforts to provide you with access to and use of the Lockbox Services described in the Order Form.

2.2 The Customer agrees to provide Lockbox with any information reasonably necessary for the provision of the Lockbox Services including but not limited to providing information and technology as necessary and appropriate.

2.3 You are responsible for:

(a) your use of, or reliance on, any advice or recommendations provided by us in connection with the Lockbox Services, including but not limited to, the security and access settings that may be configured for the Lockbox Services; and

(b) determining:

(i) Users;

(ii) the information to be provided to us (“Your Content”); and

(iii) which parts of Your Content that Users are permitted to access.

2.4 If you are our Customer and your procurement of the Lockbox Services is facilitated via a 3PP, you promise to us (and we will rely on this promise) that any such 3PP is acting as your authorised agent and has the authority and power to bind you as Customer to an Order Form and this Agreement. If you are procuring the Lockbox Services on behalf of another party (such as your client) and therefore acting as the 3PP, you acknowledge that we are relying on your agency with that third party, you are proceeding to procure the Lockbox Services on its behalf with knowledge of our reliance and you warrant and represent to us that you have all required authority to bind the relevant third party to an Order Form. Both the Customer and a 3PP are liable to us in connection with costs incurred pursuant to the procurement of and use of the Lockbox Services under an Order Form. For the purposes of this Agreement the Customer and its 3PP are considered interchangeable with respect to the obligations in this Agreement.

2.5 If you are using the Lockbox Services prior to any binding Order Form existing (“Early Access”) then the following applies:

(i) you will promptly agree to the terms of an Order Form with us, for the ongoing use of the Lockbox Services or otherwise you will cease to use (and we may terminate without notice the use of) the Lockbox Services; and

(ii) you will act in good faith in connection with being given Early Access and you will not act in any way which is designed to manipulate or circumvent our fee structures, billing process or any fees owed to us.

2.6 If you are using any self-provision portal to which we have given you access, you are solely responsible at all times to administer that portal, for the setting of all security and access settings for deal rooms, users and the portal itself, any configuration of each individual deal room, as well as deleting deal rooms and removing user access to deal rooms and the portal.

  1. Privacy and confidentiality

3.1 Our commitment to you. We will:

(a) not disclose any of Your Content that constitutes proprietary, confidential or personal information to any third party, except as necessary to provide the Lockbox Services (including but not limited to allowing Your Users to access Your Content for the purpose of reviewing and assessing Your Content including by way of using third party review tools which Users may use and with which Lockbox provides technical synchronisation), where required by any law, to our Authorised Sub-Processors (as defined in the Schedule below), where certain organisations whose Users need us to separately provide them with copies of specific information in order for them to comply with applicable US SEC rules or the listing rules of any stock exchange which applies to you, or where you give us permission to do so;

(d) not disclose any of our proprietary, confidential or any personal information to any third party, except where required by law or where we give you written permission to do so. Our proprietary information includes without limitation the software applications used to provide the Lockbox Services (and other Works referred to in clause 6); and

  1. Fees, expenses and payment terms

4.1 Subscription Fees commence upon the earlier of: (a) the commencement date of the User Subscription Plan specified in the Order Form, or (b) the first usage of the Lockbox Services by any User, whichever first occurs.

4.2 You will pay the User Subscription Plan fees as described in the applicable Order Form(s). If we agree to invoice you for the Lockbox Services by email, full payment must be received within the following timeframes:

(a) For the 3, 6 and 12 month Subscription Plans: thirty (30) calendar days from the invoice date;

and

(b) For the month-to-month Subscription Plans: payable upon receipt of invoice.

4.3 You must provide to us current, complete and accurate billing information (“Billing Data”) for your User Subscription Plan. You must promptly update all Billing Data to keep your User Subscription Plan current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, credit card expiration date or bank account details) and you must promptly notify Lockbox if your payment method is changed (for example, as a consequence of loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorised disclosure or use of your name or password. If you fail to provide any of the foregoing information, you agree that we may continue charging you for any use of the Lockbox Services under your Billing Data unless you have terminated this Agreement in accordance with clause 7 below.

4.4 We will determine your fees for each billing period by reviewing the number of Users in your User Subscription Plan before the start of each billing period and, if you have elected to pay your fees annually upfront, we will review the number of Users in your User Subscription Plan on a monthly basis (“Review”). If, at the time of our Review, the number of Users increases, then:

– where your fees are billed monthly, your fees will automatically increase from the next billing period.

– where your fees are billed annually upfront, you will automatically be issued a new invoice with the relevant fees (such invoice to be pro-rated for the remainder of the Subscription Term).

You may also upgrade your User Subscription Plan at your selection, and this will also result in an increase of fees. The increased fees will continue in effect for the remainder of your Subscription Term.

4.6 You will pay all applicable fees when due as specified in the Order Form(s). If you fail to pay any fees by the due date, we may, in our discretion, suspend your account and/or the access of all your Users to the Lockbox Services until such overdue fees are paid. Payment obligations are non-cancellable and, except as expressly stated in the Agreement or required by law, fees paid are non-refundable and non-creditable. You agree that if Lockbox is unable to collect the fees owed for your User Subscription Plan under the Agreement, Lockbox may take any other steps it deems necessary to collect such fees from you and you will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Lockbox in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees.

4.7 Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). You will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchases of the Lockbox Services, except for those taxes based on our net income. Should any payment for the Lockbox Services be subject to withholding tax by any government, you will promptly provide to us the records of payment receipt by the relevant taxing authority showing the reason for such payments sufficient for us to secure a full tax credit.  If for any reason you do not provide to us such documentation or it does not result in our being able to apply a full tax credit, you must reimburse to us upon demand an amount equal to such withheld money.

4.8 If we have to produce information, answer questions, attend court or otherwise comply with an order, subpoena or other legal or regulatory process that relates to the Lockbox Services, you will also reimburse us for our time and expenses (at our standard commercial rates).

4.9 In the event that you change the billing entity specified in any Order Form(s) via the online platform (by providing us with the details in a manner prescribed by us), the new billing entity will be required to pay all applicable fees on and from the next billing date. If the new billing entity fails to pay the invoice by the invoice due date and, following 30 days written notice from Lockbox demanding payment, Lockbox reserves the right to be able to demand payment of the outstanding fees from either the original billing entity and / or the new billing entity, who must pay the fees within 5 days of receiving the demand.

  1. Free Service

5.1 If you subscribed to the Lockbox Services for free (Free Service), you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (except for terms relevant to fee payment) as though you are a fee-paying customer.
5.2 We may at our discretion terminate your Free Service at any time, generally by giving you at least 7 days’ notice. We may also terminate your Free Service without notice if required by law, or if any regulatory authority requires us to do so. If this happens we will use our best endeavours to give you reasonable notice.
5.3 You will no longer have access to the Free Service immediately upon termination of the Lockbox Services and you agree that we will have no further liability towards you.
5.4 If you wish to upgrade your Free Service to a fee paying Lockbox Service, you may do so on the terms of this Agreement or any other terms agreed with you.

  1. The things we will not be responsible for

8.1 We accept liability that is imposed by applicable law that cannot be limited or excluded, which may include without limitation statutory liability for personal injury or death caused by negligence. 

8.2 To the full extent permitted by appliable law, all express or implied guarantees, warranties, representations, or other terms and conditions relating to the Agreement or its subject matter, not contained in the Agreement, are excluded from the Agreement.

8.3 If any guarantee, warranty, term or condition is implied or imposed in relation to the Agreement under any applicable legislation and cannot be excluded (a “Non-Excludable Provision”), and we are able to limit your remedy for a breach of the Non-Excludable Provision, then our liability for breach of the Non-Excludable Provision is limited (at our option) to:

(a) in the case of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods, the repair of the goods, the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods, or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or

(b) in the case of services, the supplying of the services again, or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

8.4 Subject to our obligations under the Non-Excludable Provisions and to the maximum extent permitted by law:

(a) to the full extent permitted by law, our maximum aggregate liability for all claims under or in connection with the Agreement or its subject matter, is limited to an amount equal to the amounts paid and payable by you under the Agreement;

(b) we are not liable for, and no measure of damages will, under any circumstances, include special, indirect, consequential, incidental or punitive losses or damages, including loss of any expected profits or savings or any other expected benefit, liability to any third party or consequences of loss or corruption of data, whether or not such loss or damage was foreseeable and even if advised of the possibility of the loss or damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow for limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations described above may not apply to you; and

(c) our liability to you under or in connection with the Agreement or its subject matter is reduced to the extent that your acts or omissions, or those of a third party, contribute to or cause such liability.

8.5 These limitations and exclusions apply regardless of the basis on which our liability arises, whether in contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence), in equity, under statute or on any other basis.

8.6 You indemnify us against any claim, action, proceeding or demand (“Claim”) by a third party arising from or in connection with:

(a) any breach of your obligations under any of the following clauses of the Agreement:

(i) clause 2.3 (The Lockbox Services);

(ii) clause 3.3 (Privacy and confidentiality – Your commitment to us); or

(iii) clause 6.2 (Intellectual property rights);

(b) our provision of access to Your Content as determined or instructed by you;

(c) Your Content, including but not limited to any Claim alleging that Your Content or our handling or processing of Your Content infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party;

(d) any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is based on a material violation of you of any law, regulation, third party right or third party agreement governing the use of Your Content;

8.7 Notwithstanding Clause 8.6 above, you shall not be liable for, and no measure of damages will, under any circumstances, include special, indirect, consequential, incidental or punitive losses or damages, whether or not such loss or damage was foreseeable and even if advised of the possibility of the loss or damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow for limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations described above may not apply.

8.8 In respect of the indemnities set out in clauses 8.6:

(a) we will:

(i) promptly notify you of any such Claim,

(ii) provide full authority to you to assume control of the defence and settlement of any such Claim, provided that we will retain the right to defend or settle any portion of a Claim to the extent that it is not within scope of an indemnity under clause 8.6;

(iii) cooperate with you (at your expense) in relation to the Claim; and

(iv) not make admissions in relation to the Claim without your prior consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); and

(b) if you do not assume control of the defence and settlement of any such Claim within a reasonable period of time, we will have the right to defend the Claim in such manner as we may consider appropriate, without in any way limiting your liability under the indemnity.

8.9 Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Under the Australian Consumer Law, for major failures with the service, you are entitled (a) to cancel your service contract with us; and (b) to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.

European / United Kingdom Data Processing Terms

  1. Applicability

This Schedule shall apply where Lockbox processes personal data of data subjects that are located in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), or the United Kingdom, or where Lockbox processes personal data on your behalf where you are established in the EEA or the United Kingdom and shall take priority over any other provision of this Agreement to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Schedule and any other provision of this Agreement.

  1. Relationship of the Parties

2.1 Each Party shall comply with its obligations under this Schedule and under Data Protection Law with respect to the types of personal data it processes and according to its responsibilities as a controller or processor (as appropriate) for the relevant personal data.

2.2 Without limiting clause 2.1, the Parties agree that:

(a) Lockbox shall be a controller with respect to the processing of CRM Data, User Data, and of Content Data (but the latter only to the extent it is processed to comply with its own obligations under Applicable Law); and

(b) you shall be the controller of and Lockbox shall be a processor of Content Data (unless (i) Lockbox is processing Content Data to comply with its own obligations under Applicable Law, or (ii) unless you are acting as a processor of Content Data on behalf of a third party, in which case you shall be a processor and Lockbox shall be sub-processor of the Content Data, but for the purposes of this Schedule you shall be treated as a controller and Lockbox shall be treated as a processor).

  1. Controller obligations

3.1 Whenever a Party is acting in a capacity as a controller in relation to personal data, it shall comply in all respects with Data Protection Law in respect of such personal data, including:

(a) by processing personal data fairly and lawfully;

(b) by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data against Data Security Incidents;

(c) by obtaining any consents required for its processing of personal data, particularly where sensitive personal data or special categories of personal data are processed; and

(d) by complying with its obligations with respect to data subject rights in relation to the personal data.

3.2 As the controller with respect to Content Data, you accept full responsibility for obtaining all consents necessary for, and otherwise for having lawfully grounds to process, Content Data that is processed in connection with Lockbox’s performance of the Lockbox Services.

  1. Processor obligations

Where Lockbox is processing personal data on your behalf, whether as a processor or subprocessor, but not as a controller or joint controller, the following provisions shall apply:

4.1 Purpose limitation

Lockbox shall process the personal data as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement (the “Permitted Purpose”). In no event shall Lockbox process the personal data for its own purposes or those of any third party.

4.2 Documented instructions

Lockbox shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from you, which may include the instructions set out in this Agreement, and shall immediately inform you if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Data Protection Law, unless prohibited from doing so by Applicable Law.

4.3 Categories of personal data

The Parties agree that this Agreement sets out the categories of personal data, including Content Data, that are processed in connection with this Agreement. It is the controller’s responsibility to determine if any further details of Lockbox’s processing of such personal data need to be recorded in this Agreement to comply with Data Protection Law and Lockbox shall act in good faith to cooperate with any reasonable request to do so.

4.4 Confidentiality of processing

Lockbox shall ensure that any person that it authorises to process the personal data (including Lockbox’s staff, agents and sub-processors) (each an “Authorised Person”) shall be under an obligation (whether under contract or statute) to keep the personal data confidential.

4.5 Security

Lockbox shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data from Data Security Incidents. Such measures shall have regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

4.6 Sub-processing

Lockbox shall be authorised to engage third parties to process personal data on behalf of the controller, provided that it notifies you of such engagement (each, an “Authorised Sub-Processor”). A list of Authorised Sub-Processors can be found at https://www.athenaboard.com/subprocessors.

Lockbox may change and update this list from time to time and you should check it regularly. You are given notice of all Authorised Sub-Processors on this list. This Agreement is a general written authorisation by the you to allow Lockbox to use the Authorised Sub-Processors to process personal data. Lockbox will ensure that there is in place a written contract between Lockbox and each Authorised Sub-Processor that specifies the Authorised Sub-Processor’s processing activities and imposes on the Authorised Sub-Processor equivalent terms as those imposed on Lockbox in this clause 4 (in the case of clause 4.12 subject to the provisions relating to Authorised Sub-Processors set out in that clause). Lockbox will remain responsible for the acts and omissions of Authorised Sub-Processors in respect of their processing of personal data as if they were its own. Where Lockbox is instructed by you to grant access to personal data to a third party who is contracted to you (a “Contracted Third Party”), the Contracted Third Party shall not be a sub-processor of Lockbox for the purposes of this clause 4.6 and you shall have sole responsibility for putting in place an appropriate data processing agreement with the Contracted Third Party that complies with Data Protection Law.

4.7 Cooperation

Lockbox shall:

(a) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist you by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the controller’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising data subjects’ rights, provided that Lockbox shall not be required to comply with any requests to access, amend, update, erase or restrict processing of any Content Data to the extent that you can access, amend, update, erase or restrict the processing of the Content Data using the functionality and settings made available in connection with the Lockbox Services;

(b) assist the controller in implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures against Data Security Incidents, completing data protection impact assessments and notifying Data Security Incidents to the competent supervisory authority or to the data subjects concerned, as required by Data Protection Law and taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Lockbox.

If compliance with this clause 4.7 or provisions referencing this clause 4.7 requires: (i) a change to the Lockbox Services, (ii) a change to this Agreement, or (iii) the expenditure of material effort or cost that is not provided in this Agreement, then either Party may raise this in accordance with the change control procedure or, in the absence of any such change control procedure, by discussing the same in good faith. For avoidance of doubt, Lockbox shall not be required to provide any assistance under this clause 4.7 that would result in any change or expenditure referred to in paragraph (i) to (iii) of this clause 4.7, except if and to the extent that a suitable change is agreed to this Agreement.

4.8 Data protection impact assessments

If Lockbox believes or becomes aware that its processing of personal data is likely to result in a high risk to the data protection rights and freedoms of data subjects, we shall inform you and provide you with assistance to conduct a data protection impact assessment in accordance with clause 4.7.

4.9 Data Security Incidents

(a) Upon becoming aware of a Data Security Incident, Lockbox shall inform you without undue delay and shall provide such timely information and assistance in accordance with clause 4.7 as you may reasonably require in order to fulfil your data breach reporting obligations under Data Protection Law and to mitigate the effects of the Data Security Incident.

(b) You understand and accept that the performance by Lockbox of certain Lockbox Services may carry a risk to you of loss or corruption of data. Lockbox’s obligations in respect of data backup or retention shall be set out in the Agreement. You understand and accept that, save to the extent of any obligations detailed in this Agreement, you shall bear full responsibility for the loss or corruption of data that may result from a Data Security Incident.

4.10 Subject access requests

Lockbox shall promptly notify you if it receives a request from a data subject to exercise their rights in respect of their personal data and shall provide such assistance to you as may be required in accordance with clause 4.7. Lockbox shall be entitled to render such charges or recover such costs associated with destroying or returning personal data to the controller or joint controller (as appropriate) as provided in this Agreement or, if no such charges or costs are provided in this Agreement, such reasonable costs that Lockbox can evidence.

4.11 Deletion or return of personal data

Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement, Lockbox shall (at the other Party’s election) destroy or return to the other Party all personal data (including all copies of the personal data) in its possession or control (including any personal data that is processed by an Authorised Sub-Processor) or alternatively make such facilities available to you using the functionality or settings for the Lockbox Services to enable you to delete the personal data in question. This requirement shall not apply to the extent that Lockbox is required by any Applicable Law to retain some or all of the personal data, in which event Lockbox shall isolate and protect the personal data from any further processing except to the extent required by such Applicable Law. Lockbox shall be entitled to render such charges or recover such costs associated with destroying or returning personal data to the controller or joint controller (as appropriate) as provided in the Agreement or, if no such charges or costs are provided in the Agreement, such reasonable costs that Lockbox can evidence.

4.12 Information and audit

Lockbox shall make available to you all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in this clause 4 and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the controller or another auditor mandated by the controller, except if and to the extent that providing such information or permitting such an audit would place Lockbox in breach of Applicable Law or cause it to infringe the rights (including rights in intellectual property or confidential information) of any of Lockbox’s other customers. No more than one audit may be carried out in any calendar year, except if and when required by instruction of a competent data protection authority. Lockbox shall be entitled to recover its costs of complying with this clause 4.12. Where Lockbox has appointed a third party auditor to assess any of its technical or organisational measures to protect against Data Security Incidents for the purposes of any industry certification or otherwise (such as ISO 27001 compliance), Lockbox may share a copy of the auditor’s certificate and an executive summary of its findings, in lieu of providing other information or allowing for other audits by the controller or another auditor under this clause 4.12. Lockbox shall not be required to comply with any requests for Content Data to the extent that such Content Data can be accessed using the Lockbox Services or the functionality or settings made available by Lockbox. The provision of audit rights in relation to any Authorised Sub-Processor shall be limited to the standard audit provisions offered by that Authorised Sub-Processor.

  1. International transfers

5.1 The Parties acknowledge that Lockbox is located in a territory outside of the EEA and the United Kingdom that is not an Adequate Territory under the GDPR or the UK GDPR. Any personal data transfer from the EEA to a location outside the EEA in a country or territory that is not an Adequate Territory, shall be subject to the Model Clauses (Module I: Controller to Controller when Lockbox is controller, and Module II: Controller to Processor when Lockbox is processor). Any personal data transfer from the UK to a location outside the UK in a country or territory that is not an Adequate Territory, shall be subject to the Model Clauses as amended by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. For the purposes of the Model Clauses, the Parties acknowledge and agree as follows:

(a) you will be the data exporter and will be deemed to have entered into the Model Clauses in its own name and on its own behalf in relation to the personal data disclosed to Lockbox;

(b) Lockbox will be deemed to have entered into the Model Clauses in its own name and on its own behalf in relation to the personal data disclosed to it by you (and shall also be deemed to have entered into the Model Clauses on behalf of any related entities in its corporate group that are also located in a territory outside of the EEA and the UK that is not an Adequate Territory);

(c) the descriptions of the categories of personal data that are transferred in this Agreement shall be incorporated based on the definitions in this Agreement (that is, CRM Data, User Data and Content Data, as appropriate);

(d) the provisions of any technical and organisational security measures agreed in the Agreement will be deemed to be set out in Appendix 2 to the Model Clauses;

(e) the Parties have agreed to delete optional clauses 7 and 11 (a) second para. of the Model Clauses;

(f) the Parties have agreed to choose option 2 under clause 9 of the (controller to processor) Model Clauses, it being understood that Lockbox shall specifically inform you in writing of any intended changes to that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least five days in advance, thereby giving the data exporter sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the engagement of the sub-processor(s);

(g) where and to the extent that the Model Clauses apply pursuant to this clause 5, if there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Model Clauses, the Model Clauses will prevail.

5.2 Where Lockbox is acting as a processor, it shall not permit any onward transfer of personal data to a third country located outside the EEA or the UK (other than the place in which Lockbox is established) unless:

(a) Lockbox first puts in place adequate transfer mechanisms to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Data Protection Law;

(b) Lockbox or the relevant Authorised Sub-Processor is required to transfer the personal data to comply with Applicable Law, in which case Lockbox will notify you of such legal requirement prior to such transfer unless such Applicable Law prohibits such notice from being given to you;

(c) Lockbox is entitled to rely on a permitted derogation under Data Protection Law in order to transfer the personal data outside of the EEA or the UK, which may include circumstances where (among other things): (i) the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request; (ii) the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in the interest of the data subject between the controller and another person; or (iii) the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or

(d) it is instructed by the Customer to do, including through the Customer, or its authorized users accessing the Content Data from such a third country, it being understood and acknowledged that in that case, it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to ensure compliance of the resulting international transfer with Data Protection Law.

5.3 Lockbox will be able to use the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses as a transfer mechanism to comply with the requirement under Article 46 of the UK GDPR to provide appropriate safeguards for personal data when it is transferred from the United Kingdom to countries which are not covered by the United Kingdom’s adequacy regulations. For the avoidance of doubt:

The United Kingdom has adequacy regulations in relation to the EEA. This Addendum can be found in Annex IV.

5.4 For the purposes of clause 5.2(a), the adequate transfer mechanisms may include: (i) transferring the personal data to a recipient in an Adequate Territory, (ii) transferring the personal data to a recipient that has achieved binding corporate rules authorisation in accordance with Data Protection Law, or (iii) transferring the personal data to a recipient that has executed the Model Clauses necessary for the relevant transfer to comply with Data Protection Law.
