If Controller explicitly instructs any cross-border transfer (outside EU/EEA), Bonnard shall only do so on the basis of:
13.1 This DPA (excluding any Standard Contractual Clauses, if incorporated under Section 12.2) and all disputes arising from it are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
13.2 Any dispute under this DPA shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless otherwise stipulated in the Principal Agreement.
If there is any conflict between this DPA and any other agreement relating to the subject matter (including the Principal Agreement), this DPA shall prevail unless the parties explicitly agree in writing to vary a specific clause.
If any provision of this DPA is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be amended to achieve as closely as possible the original intent, and the remainder of this DPA shall remain in full force and effect.
This DPA shall terminate automatically when the Principal Agreement terminates. Sections 11 (Return/Deletion), 12 (International Transfers), 13 (Governing Law), 14 (Order of Precedence), and 15 (Severability) shall survive expiration or termination.
