If the above measures are not sufficient to confirm the Processor Party’s compliance with the Agreement, the Controller Party may request an audit by an external auditor, jointly selected by the parties and the parties will mutually agree the scope, timing and duration of the audit. The external auditor’s costs shall be borne by the Controller Party, unless as a result of such audit, the Processor Party is found to have been in breach of this Agreement, in which case the Processor Party shall be liable for the reasonable costs of such audit.
