KBI Services, Inc. (“Kindbody”, “we,” “us,” and “our”) contracts with Empire Medical Practice, P.C. , Garden State Medical Practice, P.C. , Fahimeh Sasan D.O., P.C. , Kindbody of FL Medical Practice, P.A. , Peach State Medical Practice, P.C. , d/b/a Kindbody Medical Practice of NY (“Kindbody Medical Practice”), regarding online telehealth medical consultations and secure messaging between Kindbody Medical Practice physicians (individually the “Provider” and collectively the “Providers”) and their patients. (See Section 20 for supplemental terms applicable to Providers.) The professional medical services (which are provided by Kindbody Medical Practice) and the non-clinical Site services (which are provided by Kindbody) are collectively referred to in this Terms of Use as the “Services”. The terms “you” and “your” means you, your dependent(s) if any, and any other person accessing your Kindbody Account.

1. Privacy Practices

You agree that information provided by you in connection with the Services and Site shall be governed by the Kindbody Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement. You agree that information provided by you in connection with the Services shall also be governed by the Kindbody Medical Practice Notice of Privacy Practices, and is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

2. Services Provided – No Medical Care or Advice by Kindbody

We offer an online education and communication platform for Providers and their patients to connect via the Site through the use of general health and wellness information, synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications and other electronic medical record technologies.

Kindbody does not provide medical advice or care. Kindbody contracts with Kindbody Medical Practice, an independent, physician-owned medical group with a network of United States based Providers who provide clinical telehealth services. Kindbody Medical Practice Providers deliver clinical services and may communicate with their patients via the Kindbody platform. Providers are independently contracted or employed by Kindbody Medical Practice. Providers are not contracted or employed by Kindbody. The Providers, and not Kindbody, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the care they render to you.

The Providers are independent of Kindbody and are merely using the Site as a way to provide educational information and/or communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from them alone, and not from Kindbody. Your interactions with the Providers via the Site are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular health care practitioners or primary care physician. Neither Kindbody, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Site or Service or provide a link to the Service, shall be liable for any professional advice obtained from a Provider via the Site or Service, nor any information obtained on the Site. Kindbody does not recommend or endorse any specific Providers, tests, physicians, medications, products, or procedures. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers via the Site or Service is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith.

Kindbody does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers who deliver services via the Site or Service. You will be provided with available Providers based solely on the information you submit to the Site. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Provider.

The content of the Site and the Services, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics and other visuals, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or recommendations of any kind by Kindbody. You should always seek the advice of your qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions. All information provided by Kindbody, or in connection with any communications supported by Kindbody, is intended to be for general information purposes only, and is in no way intended to create a provider-patient relationship as defined by state or federal law. While Kindbody may facilitate your selection of, and communications with, Providers, Kindbody does not provide medical services, and the doctor-patient relationship is between you and the Kindbody Medical Practice Provider you select.

Not for Emergencies

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY.

Kindbody’s Site and Services are not for medical emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay to seek medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on the Site. If you believe you have an emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately. You should seek emergency help or follow up care when recommended by a Provider or when otherwise needed. You should continue to consult with your primary provider and other healthcare professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding a medical condition and before stopping, starting, or modifying any treatment or modification.

Risks of Telehealth Services

By using the telehealth offering of our Services, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with telehealth services. These include but are not limited to the following: information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical or health care decision making by the Provider; delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of electronic equipment; a lack of access to your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors; although the electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail causing a breach of privacy of your health information.

3. Availability of Services

Kindbody and Kindbody Medical Practice operate subject to state and federal regulations, and the Services may not be available in your state.

17. Supplemental Terms Applicable to Providers

These supplemental terms apply to Providers in addition the other provisions of these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict between the supplemental terms and any other terms herein, the supplemental terms shall prevail.

To be a healthcare provider using the Site (“Provider” or “you”) you must be a licensed physician contracted or employed by Kindbody Medical Practice, and must agree to comply with all laws, medical board rules and other rules and regulations applicable to you as a Provider or otherwise. Your relationship with the Kindbody users (including your Kindbody Medical Practice patients) is directly between you and the patient. The patient will never have a physician-patient relationship with Kindbody. Kindbody does not practice medicine and offers no medical services. As set forth more fully below, Provider is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices and other interactions with patients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider is solely responsible for all billings and collections from patients and other consumers, and Kindbody shall have no liability whatsoever to Provider with respect to any amounts owed by any patient or other consumer to Provider.

Kindbody does not provide any medical advice, legal advice, or representations in any way regarding any legal or medical issues associated with Provider, goods or services offered by Provider, including but not limited any compliance obligations or steps necessary to comply with any state or federal laws and regulations. Provider should seek legal counsel regarding any legal and compliance issues, and should not rely on any materials or content associated with the Services in determining Provider’s compliance obligations under law. Provider and Kindbody agree that Kindbody is not providing, to Customer or anyone else, medical advice or legal advice.

Provider will use the Site and Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good medical practice. While software products such as the Site and Services can facilitate and improve the quality of service that Provider can offer patients, many factors, including the provider/patient relationship can affect a patient outcome, and with intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion they affected an outcome. Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and Services, and the provision of medical services to Provider’s patients. In this regard, Provider releases Kindbody and waives any and all potential claims against Kindbody as a result of Provider’s use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients.

As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Kindbody harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of Provider, or by or on behalf of any other third party or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a patient, which is brought against Kindbody, regardless of the cause if such claim arises for any reason whatsoever, out of Provider’s use or operation of the Site and Services. To the extent applicable, Provider will obtain Kindbody’s prior written consent to any settlement or judgment in which Provider agrees to any finding of fault of Kindbody or defect in the Site or Services. Kindbody will promptly notify Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide Provider with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to Provider exclusive control over its defense and settlement.

If you submit, upload, transmit, or post any consents, notices, advice, recommendations, comments, files, videos, images or other materials to us or our Site (“Provider Content”) or provide any Provider Content to patients or other consumers, you agree not to provide any Provider Content that (1) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic, or harmful, or that could encourage criminal or unethical behavior, (2) violates or infringes the privacy, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or (3) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. Provider is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary agreements and consents from, and providing all required notices to, patients and other consumers. You agree not to contact other users through unsolicited e-mail, telephone calls, mailings or any other method of communication. You represent and warrant to Kindbody that you have the legal right and authorization to upload all Provider Content at the Site. Kindbody shall have a royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable right and license to use the Provider Content however Kindbody desires, including without limitation, to copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from and/or sell and/or distribute such Provider Content and/or incorporate such Provider Content into any form, medium or technology throughout the world. Kindbody is and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any Provider Content in confidence; (2) to pay to you any compensation for any Provider Content; or (3) to respond to any Provider Content.

Kindbody does not regularly review Provider Content, but does reserve the right (but not the obligation) to monitor and edit or remove any Provider Content submitted to the Site. You grant Kindbody the right to use the name that you submit in connection with any Provider Content. You agree not to use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any Provider Content. You are and shall remain solely responsible for the content of any Provider Content you post to the Site or provide to patients or other consumers. Kindbody and its affiliates take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Provider Content submitted by you or any third party.

18. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement

We will try work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with Site, including Products and Services ordered or purchased through the Site, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer’s satisfaction.

You and Kindbody agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including Products and Services ordered or purchased through the Site, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Kindbody are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Kindbody.

If you desire to assert a claim against Kindbody, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Kindbody, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to Kindbody should be addressed to: 1140 Broadway,11th FL, New York, NY 10001 (“Notice Address”). If Kindbody desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Kindbody, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If Kindbody and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Kindbody may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Kindbody or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Kindbody receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including this arbitration agreement. Unless Kindbody and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Kindbody’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Kindbody did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Kindbody will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Kindbody agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

If this Agreement to Arbitrate provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in and for New Castle County, Delaware.

TERMS OF DATA PROCESSING

These Terms of Data Processing form part of the Master Services Agreement between Kindbody and Customer (“Agreement“). Kindbody and Customer are each referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties“. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Agreement

In the course of providing the Services, Kindbody will process personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 no 1 and 2 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR“) of Customer or Kindbody’s friendly professional corporations located in the European Economic Area (“EEA“), the United Kingdom and Switzerland, for which Customer or Kindbody’s friendly professional corporations are responsible as provided under Art. 4 no 7 GDPR (“Customer Personal Data“).

These Terms of Data Processing regulate the data protection obligations of the Parties when processing Customer Personal Data under the Agreement and will ensure such processing will only be rendered on behalf of and under the Instructions of Customer and in accordance with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for Processors pursuant to European Commission Decision of 5 February 2010 (“SCC“) and Art. 28 et seq. GDPR.

These Terms of Data Processing cover Customer Personal Data contained in the eligibility file provided by the Customer to Kindbody. The Customer Personal Data contained in the eligibility file is processed by Kindbody to verify whether a Customer’s employee, director, agency worker, consultant or contractor (“Eligible Individual”) is eligible to receive the Services from Kindbody. These Terms of Data Processing are not applicable to personal data provided by an Eligible Individual to Kindbody directly. Personal data provided by the Eligible Individual directly is covered by the contractual relationship between Kindbody and the Eligible Individual. For personal data provided by the Eligible Individual, Kindbody is responsible as provided under Art. 4 no 7 GDPR.

1. DEFINITIONS

In addition to the definition in Clause 1 SCC, the following shall apply:

• “Instruction” means any documented instruction, submitted by Customer to Kindbody, directing Kindbody to perform a specific action with regard to personal data, including but not limited to the rectification, erasure or restriction of processing of personal data. Instructions shall initially be specified in the Agreement and may, from time to time thereafter, be amended, supplemented or replaced by Customer by separate written or text form instructions, provided that such instructions still fall within the scope of the Services. Instruction issued for the purpose of complying with statutory claims under the GDPR such as rectification, erasure, restriction or portability of personal data fall within the scope of the Services.
• “Applicable Law” means all laws, rules and regulations applicable to each party in its use of or provisioning of the Services, including but not limited to those applicable to the processing of personal data. This means, in particular, the GDPR and all national laws validly amending the applicable rules for the processing of personal data, or in relation to the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the respective laws applicable in these countries.
• “Sub-processor” means a third-party data processor engaged by Kindbody and processing Customer Personal Data on Kindbody’s behalf and instructions.
• Terms used but not defined in this Section or in the SCC, including but not limited to “personal data”, “personal data breach”, “processing”, “controller”, “processor” and “data subject”, shall have the same meaning as set forth in Art. 4 GDPR. Where the scope of the definitions in Art. 4 GDPR go beyond of what is defined in the SCC, the broader understanding shall apply.
• References to the GDPR shall, in relation to Customer Personal Data subject to either the privacy law in the United Kingdom or in Switzerland, refer to the respective applicable privacy law in the United Kingdom or Switzerland.

2. AMENDMENT OF MASTER AGREEMENT

2.1

These Terms of Data Processing amend the Agreement with respect to any processing of Customer Personal Data provided by Customer or Kindbody’s friendly professional corporations located in the EEA, UK or Switzerland (each affiliate is hereinafter referred to as: “European Customer Affiliate“) as amended from time to time by written agreement between both Parties.

2.2

For purposes of these Terms of Data Processing, Customer and Kindbody agree that Customer, including European Customer Affiliates, is the controller of personal data and Kindbody is the processor of such data, except when Customer or Customer’s affiliate acts as a processor of personal data, in which case Kindbody is a sub-processor.

3 DATA PROCESSING AND STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES

3.1

Any processing operation as described in Sec. 5. shall be subject to these Terms of Data Processing which include the SCC as contained in Exhibit B whereby the SCC shall prevail over any conflicting clauses in the Agreement or these Terms of Data Processing.

3.2

The Parties agree that the SCC shall be directly binding between Kindbody as Data Importer (as defined therein), Customer and each European Customer Affiliate as Data Exporter (as defined therein) in relation to the personal data provided by Customer or such European Customer Affiliate.

3.3 

Customer is authorized to enter into these Terms of Data Processing on behalf of its European Customer Affiliates in which case each European Customer Affiliate will have the same rights and obligations as referred to Customer with the exception of this Sec. 3.3. Alternatively, each European Customer Affiliate can co-sign these Terms of Data Processing. Customer is responsible for ensuring that each of the European Customer Affiliates is bound by these Terms of Data Processing.

3.4

References to various Articles and terms from the Directive 95/46/EC in the SCC will be treated as references to the relevant and appropriate Articles in the GDPR.

4 SAFEGUARDS AND SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

4.1

Kindbody will support Customer to ensure compliance with Applicable Law for the transfer of Customer Personal Data to third countries with respect to data subjects located in the EEA by providing a risk assessment in the form contained in Exhibit C. The Parties agree to document this risk assessment and to make it available to the competent supervisory authority upon request. The Parties acknowledge and agree that as further guidance about the use of the SCC and accompanying supplementary measures becomes available, the Parties will reconvene and discuss potentially required amendments to these Terms of Data Processing and this Sec. 4. In particular, the Parties waive this Sec. 4 or parts thereof, to the extent the respective safeguard is no longer required.

4.2

Kindbody agrees and warrants that it has no reason to believe that Applicable Law, including any requirements to disclose Customer Personal Data or measures authorizing access by public authorities, prevents Kindbody from fulfilling its obligations under these Terms of Data Processing and the SCC contained herein.

4.3

Kindbody shall promptly notify Customer if Kindbody becomes aware of any laws or change in law, government policies or jurisprudence that affects the risk assessment under Exhibit C of these Terms of Data Processing, in particular if any such law or government policies or jurisprudence has a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by these Terms of Data Processing. Upon such notification by Kindbody, the Parties will reconvene and discuss whether conducting a new risk assessment is required. In such a case Customer is entitled to suspend the transfer of data.

4.4

Kindbody certifies that (i) it has not purposefully created back doors (non-transparent access capabilities) or similar programming that could be used to access the system and/or Customer Personal Data (ii) it has not purposefully created or changed its business processes in a manner that facilitates unauthorized access to Customer Personal Data or systems, and (iii) that Applicable Law does not require Kindbody to create or maintain back doors or to facilitate unauthorized access to Customer Personal Data or systems or for Kindbody to be in possession or to hand over keys to decrypt the Customer Personal Data.

4.5

Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, Kindbody commits to regularly publish to or notify the Customer by a message (“Warrant Canary”) that it has not received an order to disclose Customer Personal Data within the period since the last Warrant Canary has been issued. The Warrant Canary should include the certain date and time in which Kindbody has not received such an order. If Kindbody does not publish such a message, this indicates that Kindbody may have received an order.

4.6

To mitigate risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the Parties agree that in the case of a transfer of Customer Personal Data to a third country not providing an adequate level of protection, the following provisions will apply to the Parties in addition to the SCC:

1. As provided for in Clause 4 (c) SCC, Kindbody will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures as described in Appendix 2 to Exhibit B. The Parties acknowledge that the technical measures should reflect the risks associated with the transfer of Customer Personal Data to a third country. The Parties agree to reconvene and discuss whether further additional safeguards are required in the light of the risk assessment pursuant to Sec. 4.1 and Exhibit C. 
2. In addition to Clause 4 (f) SCC, Customer represents and warrants that, if the transfer involves special categories of personal data and any other kind of Customer Personal Data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed, or as soon as possible after the transfer, that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing an adequate level of protection.
3. Customer will ensure that data subjects will be informed about where and by whom their data is processed.
4. In addition to Clause 5 (d) (i) SCC, Kindbody represents and warrants that it will promptly notify Customer and, where possible and in cooperation with Customer, also the data subjects about any legally binding request for disclosure of or actual or documented access attempts by public authorities to Customer Personal Data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law. Such notification shall generally include information about the Customer Personal Data requested, the requesting authority, the legal basis for the request and the response provided. If such notification is prohibited, Kindbody will seek further guidance from a competent supervisory authority. If Kindbody is prohibited from disclosing such information to the data subject by law, it will inform Customer of any request received from the competent supervisory authorities. The data subject can enforce this Sec. 4.6.4 against Kindbody in accordance with the requirements of Clause 3 para 2 SCC. 
5. In addition to Clause 5 (d) (i) SCC, Kindbody represents and warrants to reasonably take legal actions against any request of disclosure of Customer Personal Data and to then refrain from disclosing Customer Personal Data to the relevant authorities until a competent court has issued a final ruling on the disclosure. The data subject can enforce this Sec. 4.6.5 against Kindbody in accordance with the requirements of Clause 3 para 2 SCC.
6. In addition to Clause 6 (1) SCC, the Parties agree that the data subject is entitled to receive compensation from Customer and Kindbody for any damage suffered as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 SCC.
7. In addition to the SCC, Kindbody as data importer agrees to indemnify the data subject from any material and non-material damage caused by the access to its Customer Personal Data of a governmental authority of a third country. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kindbody shall have no obligation to indemnify the data subject under this Sec. 4.6.7 to the extent the data subject has already received compensation for the same damage. 
8. The indemnification pursuant to Sec. 4.6.7 is limited to material and non-material damages as provided in the GDPR and excludes consequential damages and all other damages not resulting from Kindbody´s infringement of the GDPR.

5. SUBJECT MATTER, DURATION, NATURE AND PURPOSE, AND SPECIFICATION OF PROCESSING OPERATIONS‍

5.1

The subject matter, nature and purpose of the processing are described in the Agreement, Exhibit A and this Sec. 5.1. Unless provided for otherwise in the Agreement, the processing will be limited to (i) the storage/processing of certain limited Customer Personal Data on a server and incidental access to such data when providing the SaaS services pursuant to the Agreement, and/or (ii) when rendering maintenance services for on-premise solutions. When providing on-premise maintenance, there shall be no access to or processing of Customer Personal Data but incidental access to such data stored on Customer’s premises cannot be excluded.

5.2

The categories of personal data and data subjects which may be concerned by the processing are listed in Exhibit A.

The duration of the processing shall correspond to the duration of these Terms of Data Processing as set forth in Sec. 11.

6. Kindbody’S OBLIGATIONS‍

6.1

Kindbody shall in the course of providing Services, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country, process Customer Personal Data only on behalf of and under the documented Instructions of Customer unless required to do so otherwise under Applicable Law; in such a case, Kindbody shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest (the corresponding Clause 5 (a) SCC shall remain unaffected).

6.2

‍Kindbody shall ensure that any natural person acting under its authority who has access to personal data does not process any personal data except on Instructions from Customer, unless Kindbody, or such person is otherwise required to do so by Applicable Law.

6.3

Kindbody ensures that persons authorized to process the Customer Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality and that the obligation will remain after termination of these Terms of Data Processing.

6.4 Technical and Organizational Data Security Measures

1. The measures specified in Exhibit B, Appendix 2 are subject to technical advancements and development (the corresponding Clause 5 (a) SCC shall remain unaffected). 
2. Taking into account 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, Kindbody shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, as required by Art. 32 GDPR. As appropriate, this may include

• the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data;
• the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services; and
• the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.

1. When assessing the appropriate level of security, account shall be taken in particular of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.
2. If Kindbody significantly modifies the measures specified in Exhibit B, Appendix 2, such modifications have to meet the obligations pursuant to Sec. 6.4.2 and 6.4.3. Kindbody shall make available to Customer a description of such measures which enables Customer to assess compliance with Art. 32 GDPR. Kindbody and Customer shall agree on such significant modifications by signing the modified Exhibit B, Appendix 2 after every amendment. Customer shall not refuse to accept any modification that meets the requirements pursuant to Sec. 6.4.2 and 6.4.3 unless Customer has reason to believe that the modifications fall below the agreed level of security. 
3. Kindbody shall implement a data protection management procedure according to Art. 32 para 1 lit. d) GDPR, for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures to reasonably ensure the security of the processing. Kindbody will further, by way of regular self-audits, reasonably ensure that the processing of Customer Personal Data conforms with the provisions as agreed with Customer or to Customer’s Instructions.‍

6.5

‍Kindbody shall, while taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Customer through appropriate technical and organizational measures, with the fulfilment of Customer’s obligations to respond to requests for exercising rights of data subjects in accordance with Applicable Law, in particular Art. 15 through 18 and 21 GDPR.

6.6

Taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Kindbody, Kindbody shall assist Customer with ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Art. 33 through 36 GDPR (Data Security Breach Notification, Data Protection Impact Assessment, Consultation with Data Protection Supervisory Authorities).

6.7 Documentation and Audit Rights

1. Kindbody shall, upon request and subject to a non-disclosure agreement, provide to Customer a comprehensive documentation of the technical and organizational data security measures in accordance with industry standards. The effectiveness of Kindbody’s technical and organizational security measures will be audited by an independent third-party on an annual basis, in an SSAE16 SOC 2 Type 2 audit or equivalent. In addition, Kindbody may, in its discretion provide data protection compliance certifications issued by a commonly accepted certification issuer which has been audited by a data security expert, by a publicly certified auditing company or by another customer of Kindbody.
2. If Customer has justifiable reason to believe that Kindbody is not complying with the terms and conditions under these Terms of Data Processing, in particular with the obligation to implement and maintain the agreed technical and organizational data security measures, and only once per year (unless there are specific indications that require a more frequent inspection), Customer is, subject to a non-disclosure agreement, entitled to audit Kindbody (the corresponding Clause 5 (f) SCC shall remain unaffected). This audit right can be exercised by (i) requesting additional information, (ii) accessing the databases which process Customer Personal Data or (iii) by inspecting Kindbody’s working premises whereby in each case no access to personal data of other customers or Kindbody’s confidential information will be granted. Alternatively, Customer may also engage third party auditors to perform such tasks on its behalf in accordance with Sec. 6.7.4. The costs associated with such audits and/or for providing additional information shall be borne by Customer unless such audit reveals Kindbody’s material breach with these Terms of Data Processing.
3. If Customer intends to conduct an audit at Kindbody’s working premises, Customer shall give reasonable notice to Kindbody and agree with Kindbody on the time and duration of the audit. In the case of a special legitimate interest, such audit can also be conducted without prior notice. Inspections shall be made during regular business hours and in such a way that business operations are not disturbed. At least one employee of Kindbody may accompany the auditors at any time. Kindbody may memorialize the results of the audit in writing which shall be confirmed by Customer.
4. Customer may not appoint a third party as auditor who (i) Kindbody reasonably considers to be in a competitive relationship to Kindbody, or (ii) is, as provided in Clause 5 (f) SCC not sufficiently qualified to conduct such an audit, or (iii) is not independent. Any such third-party auditor shall only be engaged if the auditor is bound by a non-disclosure agreement with Kindbody prior to conducting any audit or is bound by statutory confidentiality obligations. 
5. Kindbody shall audit its Sub-processors on a regular basis and will upon Customer’s request confirm their compliance with data protection law and the obligations set upon the Sub-processors according to the data processing agreement concluded with them. Only in the case of justified reasons, Customer shall issue Instructions to Kindbody to conduct further audits that Kindbody will conduct to the extent permitted.

1. If legally required and Customer is unable to perform the applicable task itself, or if provided so in the services description contained in the Agreement, Kindbody shall rectify, erase (delete), restrict (block) or transmit Customer Personal Data upon Customer’s request.

8.1

Customer provides its general written authorization to the engagement of Sub-processors by Kindbody if the requirements of this Sec. 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 are fulfilled.

8.2

Any Sub-processor must in particular agree to comply with the agreed technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Sec. 6.4 herein and provide Kindbody and also Customer, with a list of the implemented technical and organizational measures. Sub-processor’s measures may differ from the ones agreed between Customer and Kindbody but shall not fall below the level of data security as provided by the measures of Kindbody.

8.3

Kindbody shall not add or replace any Sub-processor except where Kindbody has provided Customer with at least 14 days’ prior notice by electronic means or via email and the opportunity to object to such Sub-processor in accordance with this Sec. 8.3.

In the case Customer objects to the sub-processing, Kindbody can choose to either not engage the Sub-processor or to terminate the Agreement or any related service agreement with two (2) months prior written notice. Until the termination of the Agreement and/or any service agreement, Kindbody may suspend the portion of the Services which is affected by the objection of Customer. Customer shall not be entitled to a pro-rata refund of the remuneration for the Services, unless the objection is based on justified reasons of incompliance with applicable data protection law.

10. COSTS FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES

If Customer’s Instructions lead to a change from or increase of the agreed Services or in the case of Kindbody’s compliance with its obligations to assist Customer with Customer’s own statutory obligations, Kindbody is entitled to charge reasonable fees for such tasks which are based on the prices agreed for rendering the Services and/or notified to Customer in advance.
