11. Personal Data transfers
11.1
In case the Personal data is transferred from Controller to Processor or from Processor to Permitted Sub-processor outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the Standard Contractual Clauses (including annexes related thereto) are incorporated by reference to this DPA and form an integral part of this DPA to which both the Controller (referred to as the “data exporter” in the SSC) and the Processor or Sub-processor (referred to as the “data importer” in the SSC) oblige to comply, unless the European Commission under article 45 of GDPR has recognised such third country, where Personal Data transfer or processing is planned, as providing adequate protection or other security measures under GDPR have been complied. If any discrepancies between this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses (including annexes related thereto) arise, the provisions indicated in Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.
11.2
If sub-processing is approved in accordance with this DPA, the Processor may transfer Personal Data to such Permitted Sub-processor, either within or outside the EEA. This DPA and any additional written approval provided (where applicable for Permitted Sub-processing) is a Controller’s general consent for the Processor to transfer such data outside the EEA provided the Processor ensures that such transfer and such Sub-processor is bound by the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses, unless the European Commission under article 45 of GDPR has recognised such third country, where Personal Data transfer or processing is planned, as providing adequate protection or other security measures under GDPR have been complied.

If any discrepancies between this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses (including annexes related thereto) arise, the provisions indicated in Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.
11.2
If sub-processing is approved in accordance with this DPA, the Processor may transfer Personal Data to such Permitted Sub-processor, either within or outside the EEA. This DPA and any additional written approval provided (where applicable for Permitted Sub-processing) is a Controller’s general consent for the Processor to transfer such data outside the EEA provided the Processor ensures that such transfer and such Sub-processor is bound by the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses, unless the European Commission under article 45 of GDPR has recognised such third country, where Personal Data transfer or processing is planned, as providing adequate protection or other security measures under GDPR have been complied.

Having failed to perform these requirements, the guilty Party cannot make any claims or objections with respect to the actions performed by the other Party or not having received messages sent under those details if those actions have been made based on the previously known requisites.
13.3
Parties agree that a notice, sent via email is equal to the written document and has the same power for the Parties.
