1.3 Monthly Subscriptions
Minsh offers certain subscription plans on a monthly billing basis, as described on the pricing page published on the Site or in an applicable order form.

Following payment of the setup fee, Minsh will build and make available a web version of the Minsh App for configuration and testing within the scope of the selected plan for a period of up to thirty (30) days.
At the end of that period, or earlier at Customer's request, the Customer must pay the first monthly subscription fee in order to keep the Minsh App active. If the first monthly subscription fee is not paid, Minsh may suspend or delete the web version of the Minsh App and discontinue the setup process. Publication of the Minsh App to the Apple App Store, Google Play, or any other marketplace will only occur after the applicable subscription fee has been paid and the Customer has provided all required access, credentials, approvals, and cooperation necessary for publication, including access to the applicable developer accounts where required.
Once the monthly subscription begins, subscription fees are billed in advance and automatically renew until explicitly cancelled. Cancellation and refund rights are governed by Section 1.5 (Renewal Cancellation and Refunds). Setup fees are non-refundable in all circumstances.
If you have a question about charges made to your account, please contact us immediately. If the charges were made in error, Minsh will credit your account or payment method for the appropriate amount. Minsh may suspend or terminate access to the Service in the event of a chargeback or payment dispute relating to a valid and undisputed charge.

Refunds are not applicable on rejection of your mobile application from any app store or marketplace.

Following payment, Minsh will build and make available a web version of the Minsh App for configuration and testing within the scope of the selected plan.
For Venture and Enterprise annual plans, the annual subscription term begins on the earlier of (i) the date the Minsh App is published to the applicable app stores, or (ii) thirty (30) days after the web version of the Minsh App is delivered to the Customer.

Publication of the Minsh App to the Apple App Store, Google Play, or any other marketplace will only occur after the applicable subscription fee has been paid and the Customer has provided all required access, credentials, approvals, and cooperation necessary for publication, including access to the applicable developer accounts where required.

Before engaging any new Sub-processor, Minsh shall update Schedule 1 and shall notify Customer of the intended change by email sent to the billing or administrative contact designated by Customer in its Minsh account, at least ten (10) business days before the new Sub-processor begins Processing Personal Data, thereby giving Customer the opportunity to object in accordance with Clause 5.3. Customer is responsible for keeping its designated contact details up to date in its Minsh account.
5.3 Objection Right for New Sub-processors. Customer may object on reasonable grounds relating to data protection to Minsh's use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Minsh in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of the notification described in Clause 5.2. In the event Customer objects, Minsh will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer's configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. If Minsh is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Minsh without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Minsh. Minsh will refund to Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Order Form(s) following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing a penalty for such termination on Customer.
5.4 Sub-processor Agreements. The parties agree that Minsh will provide the copies of the Sub-processor agreements only upon reasonable request by Customer.
5.5 Liability. Minsh shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent Minsh would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-processor directly under the terms of this DPA, save as otherwise set forth in the Agreement.
6. SECURITY
6.1 Controls for the Protection of Personal Data. Minsh implements administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
These measures include, among others:
• access controls restricting data access to authorized personnel
• encryption of data in transit using HTTPS (TLS)
• use of secure infrastructure provided by established cloud service providers
Such measures are implemented at a level appropriate to the nature and scale of the Services.
6.2 Audit Rights. Minsh shall make available to Customer, upon reasonable written request, the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with Minsh's obligations under this DPA and, where applicable, Article 28 of the GDPR. Upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice, and not more than once in any twelve (12) month period (except where otherwise required following a Customer Data Incident or by a Supervisory Authority), Customer, or an independent third-party auditor mandated by Customer and reasonably acceptable to Minsh and bound by written confidentiality obligations, may conduct an audit of Minsh's compliance with this DPA. Audits shall be conducted during normal business hours, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Minsh's operations, and at Customer's expense. Minsh may satisfy its obligations under this Clause 6.2 by providing written responses to reasonable audit questionnaires or by making available attestations, certifications, or third-party audit reports where such reports exist. The parties shall agree in advance on the scope, timing, and duration of any audit.
7. SECURITY BREACH MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION
7.1 Notification. Minsh maintains processes for handling security incidents and shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of any accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Data, including Personal Data, transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed by Minsh or its Sub-processors (a "Customer Data Incident").
7.2 Assistance. Taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Minsh, Minsh shall provide Customer with reasonable assistance necessary for Customer to comply with its own obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations in relation to a Customer Data Incident, including any notification obligations to Supervisory Authorities and affected Data Subjects.
7.3 Remediation. Minsh shall make reasonable endeavors to identify the cause of any Customer Data Incident and take those steps as Minsh deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate the cause to the extent the remediation is within Minsh's reasonable control.
7.4 Exclusions. The obligations in this Clause 7 shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Customer or Customer's Users.
8. RETURN AND DELETION OF CUSTOMER DATA
Upon termination of the Services, Minsh will, upon request, delete or return Customer Data in accordance with the Agreement and applicable law.
Customer Data deleted from active systems may remain in backup systems for a limited retention period for operational and recovery purposes, after which it is automatically overwritten.
9. AUTHORIZED AFFILIATES
9.1 Contractual Relationship. The parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the Agreement, Customer enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between Minsh and each such Affiliate subject to the provisions of the Agreement, this Clause 9, and Clause 10 below. Each Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this DPA and, to the extent applicable, the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, an Affiliate is not and does not become a party to the Agreement, and is only a party to the DPA. All access to and use of the Services by Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and Customer shall deem any violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement by an Affiliate a violation.
9.2 Communication. The Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with Minsh under this DPA and be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Affiliates.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each party's and all of its Affiliates' liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, and all DPAs between Affiliates and Minsh, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the "Limitation of Liability" clause of the Agreement, and any reference in such clause to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and all DPAs together.
For the avoidance of doubt, Minsh's and its Affiliates' total liability for all claims from the Customer and all of its Affiliates arising out of or related to the Agreement and each DPA shall apply in the aggregate for all claims under both the Agreement and all DPAs established under this Agreement, including by Customer and all Affiliates, and, in particular, shall not be understood to apply individually and severally to Customer and/or to any Affiliate that is a contractual party to any such DPA. Also for the avoidance of doubt, each reference to the DPA in this DPA means this DPA including its Schedules thereto.
11. EUROPE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
11.1 GDPR.

(a) the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 (the "EU SCCs") are incorporated by reference into this DPA and shall apply to such transfers, with Module Two (Controller to Processor) applying as between Customer and Minsh, and Module Three (Processor to Processor) applying as between Minsh and its Sub-processors, in each case with the relevant options and details completed in accordance with the Agreement, this DPA, and the nature of the Processing;
(b) transfers originating from the United Kingdom are additionally subject to the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner's Office, which is incorporated by reference;
(c) transfers originating from Switzerland are subject to the EU SCCs as adjusted in accordance with the guidance of the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, including so that references to the GDPR are read as including the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection where applicable; and
(d) where the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension thereto, or the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable, transfers to that recipient may alternatively rely on such certification for so long as it remains in effect.
Minsh shall implement, and shall require its Sub-processors to implement, appropriate supplementary technical, organizational, and contractual measures where necessary to ensure that transferred Personal Data receives a level of protection essentially equivalent to that required under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations. Minsh has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-processor.
11.4 Additional Terms for Services offered by Minsh.

11.4.7 Hosting. Customer Data may be hosted on infrastructure located in the European Union or the United States, depending on operational requirements.
