Vaultody will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of material changes to Sub-processors where required by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
Client may object to a new Sub-processor on reasonable data protection grounds by notifying Vaultody in writing within ten (10) business days after receiving notice. If the Parties cannot resolve the objection in good faith, Vaultody may, where commercially reasonable, offer an alternative solution. If no commercially reasonable alternative is available, the Parties' rights and obligations shall be governed by the DWaaS Software as a Service Agreement and Applicable Law.
