Should a disagreement arise as to the interpretation of any requirement of the Laws, Walmart’s interpretation shall govern. If Developer is unable to comply with any new Law, Walmart may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Agreement upon notice to Developer.

To monitor Developer’s compliance with the Agreement, Walmart may, in its discretion, periodically inspect and audit Developer’s compliance with the Agreement, including its Information Security Program and any facilities or systems used by Developer to provide the Services.

Developer shall notify Walmart’s Emergency Operations Center by telephone (479.277.1001) within twenty-four (24) hours of any Data Incident, followed within forty-eight (48) hours of the Data Incident by a written notice directed to Walmart’s Privacy Office, 702 SW 8th Street, Bentonville, AR 72716 and its Chief Information Security Officer at [email protected].

The Parties shall collaborate on whether to provide notice of the Data Incident to any person, governmental entity, the media, or other party and the content of any such notice. Walmart will make the final determination as to whether notice will be provided and to whom, the content of the notice, and which Party will be the signatory to the notice. Developer shall promptly notify Walmart of any investigations of its information use, privacy or information security practices or a Data Incident by a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory body. - Data Subject Rights. To the extent that Laws require Walmart to comply with requests from individuals to access, delete, modify, or restrict the processing of their Personal Information, Developer agrees to promptly notify Walmart of any such requests directed to Developer and, no more than thirty (30) days from Developer’s receipt of Walmart’s written instruction, provide any assistance that Walmart reasonably deems necessary to fulfill such requests with regards to Services provided under the Agreement at Developer’s own cost and expense. Developer shall certify, in writing, its compliance with such instructions. If a consumer or other data subject exercises a legal right to opt out of the sale of their Personal Information by Walmart to Developer, Walmart shall not be required to provide such Personal Information to Developer, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement. To the extent Developer directly interacts with Walmart customers, employees, contractors, service providers, or other individuals while acting on behalf of Walmart, Developer agrees to provide Walmart with any assistance Walmart reasonably deems necessary to fulfill applicable legal obligations to provide such individuals with notice of data processing activities.
- Developer shall contractually require any and all suppliers, contractors, or other agents of Developer engaged to perform the Services or to otherwise process Walmart Information to do so under terms and conditions at least as protective of Walmart Information as this Addendum and in compliance with all applicable Laws. Developer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to monitor and enforce such contractual requirements and shall be responsible to Walmart for all acts or omissions of its subcontractors and agents with respect to their access to and use of Walmart Confidential Information and Walmart Systems.
- Cross-border Transfers. Walmart Confidential Information may not be transferred, stored, or processed outside the country in which Developer receives it without prior written approval from Walmart, inclusive of transfers to subcontractors or agents. Developer shall cooperate with Walmart in complying with all Laws regulating the cross-border transfer of information, and the Parties shall negotiate, in good faith, such additional agreements, terms and conditions as may be required by such Laws to effectuate such transfers.
- Deletion of Data. At Walmart’s direction at any time, and in any event upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Developer will, and will cause its suppliers, contractors and other agents to, immediately cease use of the Walmart Confidential Information and return the same to Walmart and then destroy any and all residual copies of Walmart Confidential Information (in whole or part), whether in hard copy or electronic format. Developer will ensure that Walmart Confidential Information is destroyed securely and in accordance with applicable law. As requested, Developer will certify its compliance with these procedures.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer will be permitted to retain: (i) Walmart Confidential Information for a longer period if such retention is strictly necessary to meet Developer’s legal compliance obligations, and (ii) Walmart Confidential Information in backup media. Retention of Walmart Confidential Information pursuant to (i) and (ii) shall be pursuant to Developer’s fully implemented and documented records management program, provided that such retention shall not be indefinite and shall not exceed industry standards. In addition, Walmart Confidential Information so retained shall not be used for any other purpose and such Walmart Confidential Information shall be otherwise maintained in accordance with this Addendum. - No limitation of liability provisions, if any, in the Agreement (or any other agreement between the parties) shall apply to any breach of this Addendum by Developer. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, Developer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Walmart (including its affiliates) from all suits, claims, demands, proceedings and other actions brought by a third party, and pay all expenses and costs (including but not limited to, assessments, fines, losses, penalties, settlements, costs of investigating and responding to any Data Incident, costs of notifying and providing affected individuals with at least one year of credit monitoring and fraud prevention services, and attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing this indemnification provision), arising out of or related to Developer’s use of Walmart Confidential Information not in accordance with this Addendum, any Data Incident or any breach by Developer of this Addendum.
- Information Security-Related Termination Rights. In addition to any other termination rights under the Agreement, Walmart shall have the right to terminate the Agreement immediately if Developer materially breaches any provision of this Addendum.
- Statement of Compliance. Developer shall provide Walmart with prompt written notice if at any time it is not in full compliance with all of the requirements of this Addendum. Developer shall certify compliance with this Addendum from time to time or as may be reasonably requested by Walmart.
- Survival; Severability. This Addendum shall survive termination of the Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of a portion of this Addendum shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder hereof.
