under the TOS and Agreement and / or that originates from the EEA, in a country
that has not been designated by the European Commission or Swiss Federal Data
Protection Authority (as applicable) as providing an adequate level of protection
for Personal Data, the Parties agree that MailerLite shall be deemed to provide
adequate protection (within the meaning of Data Protection Laws) for any such
Customer Data by having self-certified its compliance with Privacy Shield. If
MailerLite is unable to comply with this requirement, MailerLite shall inform
Customer.

shall not apply if and to the extent that MailerLite adopts an alternative data
export solution for the lawful transfer of Personal Data (as recognized by GDPR)
outside of the EEA, in which event, the alternative data export solution shall apply
instead, but only to the extent such mechanism extends to the territories to which
Personal Data is transferred.

Agreement or otherwise. Customer further agrees that any regulatory penalties
incurred by MailerLite in relation to the Customer Data that arise as a result of, or
in connection with, Customer's failure to comply with its obligations under this
Agreement or any applicable Data Protection Laws shall count toward and reduce
MailerLite’s liability under the Agreement.
