Customer shall ensure that its instructions comply with all Data Protection Laws and Regulations, and that the Processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause Vendor to be in breach of any Data Protection Laws and Regulations. Vendor shall notify the Customer immediately if, in Vendor’s opinion, an instruction for the processing of Personal Data given by Customer infringes Data Protection Laws.

2.3 Training. Vendor shall ensure that its relevant employees, agents and contractors receive appropriate training regarding their responsibilities and obligations with respect to the processing, protection and confidentiality of Personal Data.

Accordingly, Customer will, where requested, provide such information to Vendor via the Services or other means provided by Vendor, and will ensure that all information provided is kept accurate and up-to-date.
