If, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of that notice, Customer notifies Hedra in writing of any objections (on reasonable grounds) to the proposed appointment: (a) Hedra shall use reasonable efforts to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Services, which avoids the use of that proposed Sub-Processor; and (b) where: (i) such a change cannot be made within fourteen (14) days from Hedra's receipt of Customer's notice; (ii) no commercially reasonable change is available; and/or (iii) Customer declines to bear the cost of the proposed change, then Customer may terminate the Agreement by written notice to Hedra as its sole and exclusive remedy.

9.1. Hedra shall make available to Customer on request, such information as Hedra (acting reasonably) considers appropriate in the circumstances to demonstrate its compliance with this DPA.
9.2. Subject to Sections 9.3 to 5, in the event that Customer (acting reasonably) is able to provide documentary evidence that the information made available by Hedra pursuant to Section 9.1 is not sufficient in the circumstances to demonstrate Hedra's compliance with this DPA, Hedra shall, at Customer's sole expense, allow for and contribute to audits, including on-premise inspections, by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer (provided such auditor agrees to a non-disclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to Hedra) in relation to the Processing of Customer Personal Data by Hedra.
9.3. Customer shall give Hedra reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under Section 9.2 (which shall in no event be less than fourteen (14) days' notice) and shall use its best efforts (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors uses its best efforts) to avoid causing any destruction, damage, injury or disruption to Hedra's premises, equipment, Personnel, data, and business (including any interference with the confidentiality or security of the data of Hedra's other customers or the availability of Hedra's services to such other customers).
9.4. If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are assessed in a SOC 2 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified third-party auditor within twelve (12) months of Customer's audit request ("Audit Report") and Hedra has confirmed in writing that there have been no known material changes in the controls audited and covered by such Audit Report(s), Customer agrees to accept provision of such Audit Report(s) in lieu of requesting an audit of such controls or measures. Hedra shall provide copies of any such Audit Reports to Customer upon request; provided that they shall constitute the confidential information of Hedra, which Customer shall use only for the purposes of confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA or meeting Customer's obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws.

Nothing in this DPA shall require Hedra to furnish more information about its Sub-Processors in connection with such audits than such Sub-Processors make generally available to their customers. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be construed to obligate Hedra to breach any duty of confidentiality.

10.1. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, or upon Customer's written request, Hedra shall return and/or delete all Customer Personal Data in Hedra's care, custody or control in accordance with Customer's reasonable instructions.
