2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN
1. Suspension of Services. Section 8.4 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“8.4. Suspension of Services. If Palantir reasonably believes that: (a) the signatory to the Order Form does not have authorization to bind Customer to this Agreement on Customer’s behalf (in violation of the express representation and warranty in the preamble of this Agreement); (b) Customer’s use of the Service or Website violates applicable law or otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 (Data Protection), Section 4 (Acceptable Use), Section 5.3 (Restrictions), Section 6 (Confidentiality), and Section 7 (Fees and Payment)); (c) Customer does not satisfy the Trade Compliance Requirements; or (d) Customer has breached any of the warranties set forth in Section 11, Palantir reserves the right to disable or suspend Customer’s access to all or any part of the Website and/or the Palantir Technology, subject to Palantir providing Customer notice of such suspension concurrent or prior to such suspension. Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN
1. Suspension of Services. Section 8.4 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“8.4. Suspension of Services. If Palantir reasonably believes that: (a)the signatory to an applicable Order Form does not have authorization to bind Customer to this Agreement on Customer’s behalf (in violation of the express representation and warranty in the preamble of this Agreement); (b) Customer’s use of the Service or Website violates applicable law or otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 (Data Protection), Section 4 (Acceptable Use), Section 5.3 (Restrictions), Section 6 (Confidentiality), and Section 7 (Fees and Payment)); (c) Customer does not satisfy the Palantir Compliance Requirements; or (d) Customer has breached any of the warranties set forth in Section 11, Palantir reserves the right to disable or suspend Customer’s access to all or any part of the Website and/or the Palantir Technology, subject to Palantir providing Customer notice of such suspension concurrent or prior to such suspension. Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN
1. Suspension of Services. Section 8.4 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“8.4. Suspension of Services. If Palantir reasonably believes that: (a) You do not have authorization to bind Customer to this Agreement on Customer’s behalf (in violation of the express representation and warranty in the preamble of this Agreement); (b) Customer’s use of the Service or Website violates applicable law or otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 (Data Protection), Section 4 (Acceptable Use), Section 5.3 (Restrictions), Section 6 (Confidentiality), and Section 7 (Fees and Payment)); (c) Customer does not satisfy the Palantir Compliance Requirements; or (d) Customer has breached any of the warranties set forth in Section 11, Palantir reserves the right to disable or suspend Customer’s access to all or any part of the Website and/or the Palantir Technology, subject to Palantir providing Customer notice of such suspension concurrent or prior to such suspension. Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

Palantir may from time to time make available acceptable use policies, community guidelines, or similar policies, which shall become part of this Agreement pursuant to the updates policy set forth in Section 13.”
2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN
1. Suspension of Services. Section 8.4 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“8.4. Suspension of Services. If Palantir reasonably believes that: (a) You do not have authorization to bind Customer to this Agreement on Customer’s behalf (in violation of the express representation and warranty in the preamble of this Agreement); (b) Customer’s use of the Service or Website violates applicable law or otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 (Data Protection), Section 4 (Acceptable Use), Section 5.3 (Restrictions), Section 6 (Confidentiality), and Section 7 (Fees and Payment)); (c) Customer does not satisfy the Palantir Compliance Requirements; or (d) Customer has breached any of the warranties set forth in Section 11, Palantir reserves the right to disable or suspend Customer’s access to all or any part of the Website and/or the Palantir Technology, subject to Palantir providing Customer notice of such suspension concurrent or prior to such suspension. Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”
2. Burdensome Terms. A new Section 16 shall be added to the Terms of Services and contain the following:

6 . PALANTIR PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER PERSONAL DATA
6.1 Palantir will Process Customer Personal Data for the business purposes of providing to Customer the services, namely the Palantir Technology and Professional Services pursuant to the Customer Instructions ("Business Purposes"), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and this DPA as well as any requirements set out by applicable Data Protection Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer is disclosing Customer Personal Data to Palantir only for the limited and specified Business Purposes set forth within the Agreement and the Customer Instructions. Palantir shall process Customer personal Data pursuant to Customer’s instructions and shall:
(a) designate and maintain a Data Protection Officer as required by Data Protection Laws as they pertain to Processors, which can be contacted at privacy@palantir.com;
(b) not Sell or Share Customer Personal Data or otherwise retain, use, disclose, or Process Customer Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship between the Parties or for any purpose other than for the fulfilment of the Business Purposes pursuant to Customer Instructions, unless obligated to do otherwise by applicable law or regulation or requests or orders of judicial, governmental or regulatory entities (including without limitation subpoenas), in which case Palantir will inform Customer of that legal requirement before such Processing occurs unless legally prohibited from doing so;
(c) not combine Customer Personal Data with Personal Data that it receives from other sources or collects from its own interactions with a Data Subject, provided, however, that Palantir may combine Customer Personal Data as necessary to perform its internal business purposes in connection only with the provision of the Service;
(d) implement appropriate Technical and Organisational Measures as described in the Security Documentation to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Personal Data, 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. To the extent such assistance requires Palantir to take additional steps beyond those imposed on Palantir by Data Protection Laws or specifically required pursuant to the Agreement; or to the extent the relevant technical and organizational measures are required as a result of an act or omission by Customer or a Party acting on behalf of Customer in breach of this Agreement or Data Protection Laws, then Palantir’s obligation to provide such assistance shall be subject to Customer’s payment of Palantir’s reasonable fees in respect of such additional assistance;
(e) ensure that all persons authorized by Palantir to Process Customer Personal Data, including any Subprocessors (as defined below), are bound by confidentiality obligations consistent with those set out in this DPA, the Agreement or otherwise sufficient to meet the requirements of Data Protection Laws;
(f) take reasonable steps to return or destroy Customer Personal Data at the choice of the Customer, when it is no longer necessary for the purposes of performing the relevant Services upon termination of the Agreement, unless storage is otherwise required under applicable Data Protection Laws; and
(g) process Customer Personal Data in a manner that is consistent with the same level of privacy protection that is required of Customer under applicable Data Protection Laws.
6.2. Customer shall instruct Palantir as to the subject-matter and duration of the Processing, the nature and purpose of the Processing, the type of Personal Data and the categories of Data Subjects taking into account the specific tasks and responsibilities of the Processor in the context of the Processing to be carried out and the risk to the rights and freedoms of the Data Subject as part of Customer Instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Customer shall ensure that its acts or omissions, including in relation to any Customer Instructions to Palantir, do not put Palantir in breach of the Data Protection Laws.
6.3 Customer has assessed the level of security appropriate to the Processing in the context of its obligations under Data Protection Laws and agrees that the Technical and Organisational Measures are consistent with such assessment. Customer further acknowledges that Palantir is not able to assess, and does not have knowledge of, the specific Personal Data provided by Customer to Palantir or made available by Customer to Palantir in relation to the Services and that as a result the technical and organisational Measures proposed by Palantir are generic in nature and Palantir is unable to assess whether or not they reflect any particular risks posed by the Personal Data.
7. SUBPROCESSORS
7.1 Customer specifically authorizes the engagement as Subprocessors of (a) the entities listed in Exhibit A and/or applicable specific additional Services exhibits in this DPA and (b) all Palantir Affiliates from time to time, provided that, prior to permitting such Subprocessors to Process any Customer Personal Data, Palantir shall enter into a written agreement with the Subprocessor imposing terms that are consistent with those set out in this DPA or otherwise sufficient to meet the requirements of Data Protection Laws.
7.2 Subject to Section 7.3, Customer generally authorizes Palantir to engage additional Subprocessors (“Additional Subprocessors”), provided that, prior to permitting such Additional Subprocessor to Process any Customer Personal Data, Palantir shall enter into a written agreement with the Additional Subprocessor imposing terms that are consistent with those set out in this DPA or otherwise sufficient to meet the requirements of Data Protection Laws.
7.3 Should Palantir engage an Additional Subprocessor, it shall provide Customer with no less than 30 days’ notice, including the identity, location, and nature of Processing proposed to be undertaken by such Additional Subprocessor. That notice may be given by any typical means Palantir uses to communicate with the Customer from time to time. Where Customer indicates in writing that it objects to the Processing of Customer Personal Data by such Additional Sub-Processor, the Parties shall seek to resolve the Customer concerns and where necessary the Customer may exercise its applicable rights to terminate the Agreement.
7.4 To the extent required by Data Protection Law, Palantir shall remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Subprocessor’s obligations in relation to this Section 7 (“Subprocessor Data Protection Liability”), and Palantir shall be permitted to re-perform or to procure the re-performance of any such obligations and Customer acknowledges that such re-performance shall diminish any claim that Customer has against Palantir in respect of any Subprocessor Data Protection Liability.
8. AUDIT
8.1 Palantir uses third party auditors to verify the adequacy of its security measures. This audit is performed at least annually, by independent and reputable third-party auditors at Palantir’s selection and expense, and in accordance with Service Organization Controls 2 (SOC2) or substantially equivalent industry standards, and results in the generation of an audit report (“Report”) which will be the Confidential Information of Palantir. The Service and operations are also certified compliant with the standards and accreditations set out on the “compliance and accreditation” tab at: https://www.palantir.com/information-security/ (“Accreditations”).
8.2 At Customer’s written request, Palantir will provide Customer with a confidential summary of the Report, documentation evidencing compliance with the Accreditations, and the Accountability Information outlined in Section 10 of this DPA so that Customer can reasonably verify Palantir’s compliance with the data security and data protection obligations under this DPA. Subject to Section 8.3, if Data Protection Laws, Standard Contractual Clauses, or the Agreement require Palantir to provide Customer with access to Palantir facilities or information in addition to the Report and the Accountability Information, then Palantir shall permit Customer to audit Palantir’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this DPA as it applies to Customer Personal Data to the extent expressly required by the Agreement, the Standard Contractual Clauses, or Data Protection Laws.
8.3 In order to request an audit of Palantir’s facilities under this Section 8 (and where such an audit is authorized), Customer shall notify Palantir and the Parties shall agree, as soon as reasonably possible but always in advance, the reasonable dates, duration and scope of the audit, the identity and qualifications of the auditor, and any security and confidentiality controls required for access to the information or Processes in scope of such audit. Palantir may object to any external auditor if, in Palantir’s reasonable opinion, the auditor is not qualified, does not have appropriate security controls to ensure Palantir’s Confidential Information is suitably protected, is a competitor to Palantir or its suppliers, or is not independent. If Palantir objects to the identity or qualifications of any proposed auditor, Palantir shall provide reasons for such objection and Customer will be required to propose an alternate auditor. The Customer shall bear the reasonable costs of Palantir in fulfilling any requirements under this Section. The scope of any audit under this Section 8 shall be limited to Palantir systems and facilities used to Process Customer Personal Data and Documentation directly related to such Processing.
8.4 All information provided or made available to Customer, its auditor or any other third-party authorized under the present DPA to have access to the above information pursuant to this Section 8 shall be Confidential Information of Palantir.
8.5 In the event of any confirmed material non-compliance by Palantir with the terms of this DPA, Customer may take reasonable steps to remediate the same, including, without limitation, by requiring the suspension of all Processing of Customer Personal Data until such time as Customer determines that the non-compliance has been remediated. In the event that Palantir determines that it can no longer meet its obligations pursuant to this DPA, Palantir shall promptly notify Customer of such determination.

12.3 Any information provided by Palantir pursuant to this Section 12 shall be the Confidential Information of Palantir and Palantir’s notification of or response to a Data Incident under this Section 12 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Palantir or, if relevant, its Subprocessors of any fault or liability with respect to the performance of any Service or Professional Services (as applicable).
