DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM
This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the Main Services Agreement or other written or electronic agreement between GewoonAI and Customer for the purchase of online services (including associated GewoonAI offline or mobile components) from GewoonAI (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.
In the course of providing the Services to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, GewoonAI 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 DPA
To complete this DPA, Customer must request a pre-signed DPA of GewoonAI by emailing info@gewoonai.nl, indicating, if applicable, the Customer’s Account Number (as set out on the applicable GewoonAI Order Form or invoice).
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, this DPA will become legally binding upon receipt by GewoonAI of the validly completed DPA at this email address.
HOW THIS DPA APPLIES
- If the Customer entity signing this DPA is a party to the Agreement, this DPA is an addendum to and forms part of the Agreement. In such case, the GewoonAI entity that is party to the Agreement is party to this DPA.
- If the Customer entity signing this DPA has executed an Order Form with GewoonAI or its Affiliate pursuant to the Agreement, but is not itself a party to the Agreement, this DPA is an addendum to that Order Form and applicable renewal Order Form(s), and the GewoonAI entity that is party to such Order Form is party to this DPA.
- If the Customer entity signing this DPA is neither a party to an Order Form nor the Agreement, this DPA 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 DPA.
- If the Customer entity signing the DPA is not a party to an Order Form nor an Agreement directly with GewoonAI, but is instead a customer indirectly via an authorized reseller of GewoonAI services, this DPA 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.
