(d) coaching services,
and Saberr's appointed sub-processors within these categories are specified in the Security Policy from time to time.

13.11 Saberr shall, insofar as possible and taking into account the nature of the processing, take appropriate technical and organisational measures to assist the Customer with the fulfilment of the Customer's obligation to respond to requests exercising a data subject's rights under the Data Protection Laws. If the Customer instructs Saberr in writing to provide specified Private User Data to a data subject that has a right of access to that Private User Data under the Data Protection Laws, and providing that the Customer supplies to Saberr contact details for that data subject along with the instruction, then Saberr shall:
(a) comply with such instruction promptly and in any case within 2 Business Days following receipt of such instruction; and
(b) comply with any reasonable supplemental requests of the Customer in relation to such instruction, providing such requests would not result in the Customer or Saberr being in breach of the Data Protection Laws.

13.15 Saberr shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Customer or another auditor mandated by the Customer in respect of the compliance of Saberr's processing of Customer Personal Data with the Data Protection Laws and this Clause 13.
13.16 If any changes or prospective changes to the Data Protection Laws result or will result in one or both parties not complying with the Data Protection Laws in relation to the processing of Personal Data carried out under these Terms and Conditions, then the parties shall use their best endeavours promptly to agree such variations to these Terms and Conditions as may be necessary to remedy such non-compliance.
13.17 Subject to Clause 13.18, Saberr may charge the Customer at its standard time-based charging rates for any work performed by Saberr pursuant to:
(a) an instruction to provide Private User Data to a data subject under Clause 13.11, and any related supplemental requests of the Customer; and
(b) Clause 13.12, 13.13 or 13.15.
13.18 Saberr shall have no right to charge under Clause 13.17 if the relevant work arises out of:
(a) any breach of the Agreement by Saberr; or
(b) any security incident affecting the software or systems of Saberr.
13.19 If:
(a) the Customer requests in writing that Saberr disclose Private User Data to the Customer, or a court or other competent body issues a legally-enforceable order or judgment requiring Saberr to disclose Private User Data to the Customer; and
(b) Saberr does disclose Private User Data to the Customer in compliance with such request, order or judgment,
then the Customer shall indemnify and keep indemnified Saberr against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) suffered or incurred by Saberr and arising out of any claim by a data subject that such disclosure breached that data subject's legal rights (including rights under the law of confidence or under the Data Protection Laws).

(a) that it will keep all Saberr Confidential Information strictly confidential and will not disclose any part of it to any other person without Saberr's prior written consent; and

(a) that it will keep all Customer Confidential Information strictly confidential and will not disclose any part of it to any other person without the Customer's prior written consent; and
