Costs of these verifications shall be borne by the Customer.

Accordingly, Esadax shall process the data in compliance with the aforementioned instructions, the guidelines in the Manual governing the Service, any relevant attachments, and the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, and in compliance with the security requirements established for provision of the individual services.
