The data subject has, in addition to the above rights and where provided for by applicable data protection legislation, the right to request a limitation of the processing, the right to deletion, the right to object to certain processing of personal data, and the right to data portability.

A party shall not be liable for the counter-party’s own indirect losses, such as loss of profit. In the event that the damage has arisen as a result of gross negligence or intent, no limitation of liability shall apply.

Request for back up storage shall be made by the Customer no later than thirteen ((13) days after this Agreement has expired.
19.1. A Party is exempt from the requirement for penalty for the failure to perform obligations under this Agreement if the failure is due to circumstances beyond the party’s control and which the Party could not reasonably foresee or avoid, such as war, act of a public authority, new or amended legislation, conflict on the labour market, trade or currency restrictions, embargo, fire, flood or similar circumstance, and also defects in or delay of deliveries from subcontractors.
19.2. It is the responsibility of the Party wishing to invoke force majeure circumstances under this clause 19 to notify the other Party without delay of the occurrence thereof, as well as its termination.
19.3.

20.1. Neither of the Parties has the right to assign or pledge its rights and/or obligations, wholly or partly, under this Agreement without the other party’s written approval. Infobric has the right, however, to assign its receivables from the Customer to a third party.

In the latter case, the Institute shall also decide whether the arbitration panel should consist of one or three arbitrators.
21.3. Notwithstanding Paragraph 21.2, Infobric shall, however, always have the right to recover the payment of overdue claims at a court of general jurisdiction.
