5.2. Return and Deletion. LabWare shall return Personal Data to Customer and, to the extent allowed by applicable law, delete Personal Data within a reasonable time period in line with Data Protection Law unless applicable law requires retention.
LabWare shall make available to Customer, upon reasonable written request, such information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and shall allow for written audit requests by Customer or an independent auditor on behalf of Customer in relation to the Processing of Personal Data to verify that LabWare employs reasonable procedures in compliance with this DPA, provided that Customer shall not exercise this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Such information and audit rights are provided under this Section to the extent the Agreement does not provide such audit rights that meet the requirements of applicable Data Protection Laws (including, where applicable, Article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR).

Customer shall provide the results of any audit to LabWare.
6.4. Cost of Audits. Customer shall bear the costs of any audit unless such audit reveals a material breach by LabWare of this DPA, then LabWare shall bear its own expenses of an audit.

7.2. New Subprocessors. LabWare’s use of Subprocessors is at its discretion, provided that: (a) LabWare will inform Customer in advance of any intended additions or replacements to the list of Subprocessors including name, address and role of the new Subprocessor; and (b) Customer may object to such changes as set out in Section 7.3.
7.3. Objections to New Subprocessors.
7.4. Emergency Replacement. LabWare may replace a Subprocessor without advance notice where the reason for the change is outside of LabWare’s reasonable control and prompt replacement is required for security or other urgent reasons.

8.3. Relation of the Standard Contractual Clauses to the Agreement. Nothing in this DPA shall be construed to prevail over any conflicting clause of the Standard Contractual Clauses. For the avoidance of doubt, where this DPA further specifies audit and subprocessor rules in sections 6 and 7, such specifications also apply in relation to the Standard Contractual Clauses.
8.4. Governing Law of the Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses shall be governed by the law of the country in which the relevant Controller is incorporated.
9.1.

Taking into account the nature of the Processing, LabWare shall assist Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, to the extent possible, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Chapter III of the GDPR. Except to the extent required by applicable law, LabWare shall not respond to any such Data Subject Request without Customer’s prior written consent, except to confirm that the request relates to Customer.
9.2.
