Any changes to the current list of Subprocess will be updated at [insert URL] (“Subprocessor Page”). If Client objects to an update of a Subprocessor listed on the Subprocessor Page, where practicable and at Vydia’s sole discretion, Vydia will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) work with Client in good faith to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Services which avoids the use of that proposed Subprocessor; or (b) take corrective steps requested by Client in its objection and proceed to use the new Subprocessor.

All Audits are at Client’s sole cost and expense. Any request for Audit assistance requiring the use of resources different from or in addition to those required for provision of the Services will be considered an additional Service for which reasonable additional fees may be charged. Vydia reserves the right to require Client’s written agreement to pay for such fees before providing such Audit assistance.
