8. AUDIT RIGHTS.

Customer may audit AutoRABIT’s compliance with its obligations under this Addendum up to once per year and on such other occasions as may be required by Applicable Data Privacy Laws, including where mandated by Customer’s Privacy Authority. AutoRABIT will contribute to such audits by providing Customer or Customer’s Privacy Authority with the information and assistance that AutoRABIT considers appropriate in the circumstances and reasonably necessary to conduct the audit. To request an audit, Customer must submit a proposed audit plan to AutoRABIT at least two weeks in advance of the proposed audit date and any third-party auditor must sign a customary non-disclosure agreement mutually acceptable to the Parties (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) providing for the confidential treatment of all information exchanged in connection with the audit and any reports regarding the results or findings thereof. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration, and start date of the audit. AutoRABIT will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise AutoRABIT security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). AutoRABIT will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan. Nothing in this Section 8 shall require AutoRABIT to breach any duties of confidentiality. If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are addressed in an 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 and AutoRABIT has confirmed there have been no known material changes in the controls audited since the date of such report, Customer agrees to accept such report in lieu of requesting an audit of such controls or measures. The audit must be conducted during regular business hours, subject to the agreed final audit plan and AutoRABIT’s safety, security or other relevant policies, and may not unreasonably interfere with AutoRABIT business activities. Any audits are at Customer’s sole expense. Customer shall reimburse AutoRABIT for any time expended by AutoRABIT and any third parties in connection with any audits or inspections under this Section 8 at AutoRABIT’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request. Customer will be responsible for any fees charged by any auditor appointed by Customer to execute any such audit.
