The Provider informs the Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other processors. The Customer has the right to object to such changes. As between the Customer and the Provider, the Provider shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by it pursuant to this clause.
13.5 Either party may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice, revise this clause by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming party of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).
13.6 Each party’s and its affiliates’ liability arising out of or related to this clause and processing of Customer’s Personal Data, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the ‘Limitation of Liability’ section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and its affiliates under the Agreement.
