Unless, in the reasonable opinion of Outmin, abiding with any such instructions received from the Customer would result in a breach of any Applicable Law, order or regulation to which Outmin is subject, Outmin shall abide by the Customer’s instructions for granting or denying the inspection, provided that Outmin may grant the inspection without instructions or in contravention of specific instructions if Outmin is advised by legal counsel to Outmin or the Customer that failure to do so would result in Outmin incurring any liability or being in breach of any Applicable Law, order or regulation to which Outmin is subject.

Outmin reserves the right to withhold consent to the electronic publication of the report if it, or the financial statements, are to be published in an inappropriate manner. It is Customer responsibility to ensure there are controls in place to prevent or detect quickly any changes to that information. Outmin is not required to review such controls nor to carry out ongoing reviews of the information after it is first published. The maintenance and integrity of the Customer’s website is its own responsibility and Outmin accepts no responsibility for changes made to such information after it is first posted.

8.5 Should Outmin become aware, for any reason, that the financial statements may be misleading, Outmin will discuss the matter with Customer with a view to agreeing appropriate adjustments and/or disclosures in the financial statements. In circumstances where adjustments and/or disclosures that Outmin consider appropriate are not made or where Outmin has not been provided with appropriate information, and as a result considers that the financial statements are misleading, Outmin will withdraw from the engagement.

8.6 Outmin may request that Customer provides written confirmation of any information or explanations given orally during the course of our work.

8.7 If Customer elects to omit certain or substantially all disclosures (if relevant) or if it elects to depart from the identified reporting framework, Outmin shall be entitled to include an additional paragraph, in whatever form it considers appropriate, in financial statements drawing attention to such matter.

8.8 Customer shall communicate any reporting deadlines to Outmin at least two (2) calendar months before such reporting deadline (as agreed between the Parties in writing) arises.

This includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls and the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies. Outmin is not responsible for disclosing whether any errors, illegal acts or other irregularities (for example fraud or defalcations) may exist. However, Outmin shall inform Customer of any such matters which come to its attention.

8.10 It is agreed that any financial information compiled by Outmin in performing the Services is intended for internal use only and Customer agrees to promptly inform Outmin if the intended use and distribution should change in any material respect. Unless Outmin gives prior express written consent, any distribution of such financial information compiled by Outmin in whole or in part (whether to obtain credit or for any other purpose, including forming a part of a public offering document or a registration statement) to a party other than the Customer and its directors, shareholder(s) or the customer’s auditor is expressly prohibited.

9 Form of the accountants’ report

9.1 Outmin shall report to the Customer’s board of directors, with any modifications that it considers may be necessary, that in accordance with this Agreement, Outmin has compiled, without carrying out an audit, the financial statements from the Customer accounting records and from the information and explanations supplied to Outmin.

1 Definitions

1.1 For the purposes of the Clauses:

(a) ‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and ‘supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data;

(b) ‘the data exporter’ means the controller who transfers the personal data;

(d) ‘the subprocessor’ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;

(e) ‘the applicable data protection law’ means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;

2 Details of the transfer

2.1 The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.
