Where an Adequacy Mechanism applies, MediaRise shall process the Personal Data in compliance with the Adequacy Mechanism and the Standard Contractual Clauses shall not apply.
11. Alternative Transfer Mechanisms: The parties agree that if European Data Protection Law no longer allows the lawful transfer of Personal Data under the Standard Contractual Clauses and/or a relevant regulator or court of competent jurisdiction requires the parties to adopt additional measures (“Additional Measures“) or an alternative data export solution (“Alternative Transfer Mechanism“) to enable the lawful transfer of Data outside of Europe and such requirements are not satisfied by an Adequacy Mechanism in line with Section 10 above (if applicable), both parties agree to cooperate and agree any Additional Measures or Alternative Transfer Mechanism that may be required (but only to the extent such Additional Measures or Alternative Transfer Mechanism extend to the territories to which Data is transferred).
