The Contractor may make such inspections dependent on prior notification with a reasonable lead time and on the signing of a confidentiality agreement with regard to the data of other customers and the technical and organizational measures that have been set up. If the auditor commissioned by the Client is in a competitive relationship with the Contractor, the Contractor shall have a right of objection against the auditor.

The Contractor may demand remuneration for assistance in carrying out an inspection. The scope of an inspection and the remuneration to be paid for it shall be agreed in writing in advance.

(3) Should a data protection supervisory authority or another sovereign supervisory authority of the Customer carry out an inspection, Paragraph 2 shall apply accordingly in principle.
