If MailChimp is unable to comply with this requirement, MailChimp shall inform Customer.

If this is not possible, Customer may suspend or terminate the Agreement (without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination).

11. Return or Deletion of Data

11.1 Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, MailChimp shall (at Customer's election) delete or return to Customer all Customer Data (including copies) in its possession or control, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent MailChimp is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or to Customer Data it has archived on back-up systems, which Customer Data MailChimp shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.

12. Cooperation

12.1 The Services provide Customer with a number of controls that Customer may use to retrieve, correct, delete or restrict Customer Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under the GDPR, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from data subjects or applicable data protection authorities. To the extent that Customer is unable to independently access the relevant Customer Data within the Services, MailChimp shall (at Customer's expense) provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. In the event that any such request is made directly to MailChimp, MailChimp shall not respond to such communication directly without Customer's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If MailChimp is required to respond to such a request, MailChimp shall promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.

12.2 If a law enforcement agency sends MailChimp a demand for Customer Data (for example, through a subpoena or court order), MailChimp shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, MailChimp may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the law enforcement agency. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a law enforcement agency, then MailChimp shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless MailChimp is legally prohibited from doing so.

12.3 To the extent MailChimp is required under EU Data Protection Law, MailChimp shall (at Customer's expense) provide reasonably requested information regarding the Services to enable the Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.
