For clarity, Supplier understands and agrees that Supplier's access to and Processing of Personal Information under the Agreement will not result in any independent benefit to Nordstrom. Supplier will not: (i) Process Nordstrom Data (including but not limited to Personal Information or information aggregated or derived from Personal Information) for any other purposes, including for the benefit of Supplier or any third party; (ii) sell or share Personal Information, as defined under Data Protection Requirements, other than as permitted under this Addendum; (iii) retain, use or disclose Personal Information outside the direct business relationship of the Parties; or (iv) combine Personal Information Supplier receives from Nordstrom with personal information it receives from other sources unless permitted by applicable law, including Data Protection Requirements.

6.3. Third-Party Assessments. Without limiting Supplier's obligations under this section, Supplier shall obtain an annual audit or assessment by a qualified, independent third party that covers the Safeguards.

Nordstrom shall be promptly notified of any material findings that the audit or assessment identifies. Supplier shall promptly correct all findings identified during the audit or assessment. Nordstrom shall also have the right, at its expense, to conduct (or have a third party conduct) an audit, assessment, examination or review of Supplier's Safeguards and its compliance with this section upon written request. Supplier shall fully cooperate with the request by providing access to knowledgeable personnel, Supplier systems, documentation, and other reasonably requested information. - Return and Destruction.

Before disposing of or relinquishing control of hard drives or other equipment used to process, store, or transmit Nordstrom Data, Supplier shall erase such hard drives and equipment in a manner that prevents recovery or restoration of Nordstrom Data. Supplier shall remain fully obligated to comply with the terms of this DPSA until such time as all Nordstrom Data has been Securely Disposed. If requested by Nordstrom, Supplier shall certify in writing that it has met its obligations under this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as requested by Nordstrom, Supplier will immediately suspend any deletion, destruction, or data alteration practices, or take other reasonably requested actions such as copying or imaging appropriate storage devices and maintaining activity logs for an extended period of time to ensure preservation of data for forensic investigation or related legal purposes.
- Nordstrom Network Access Terms. Where Supplier has access to Nordstrom's computer network, including any internet access (wired or wireless) provided by Nordstrom (the "Network"), Supplier will: (i) only access the Network to provide the Services to Nordstrom; (ii) follow Nordstrom expectations with regard to such use; and (iii) ensure that access by Supplier Personnel and Supplier Resources will be periodically reviewed and limited to those with a legitimate need to access the Network in order to provide the Services. To the extent Supplier accesses the internet (wired or wireless) to deliver the Services, Supplier understands and acknowledges that Nordstrom shall not be responsible for ensuring the security of such access or damage to any Supplier issued equipment resulting from such access. Supplier agrees to keep access credentials to the Network and Nordstrom Data confidential and secure and assumes all responsibility for activity associated with credentialed accounts. Supplier will immediately notify Nordstrom in the event of an actual or reasonably suspected loss, disclosure, or unauthorized access of or to Supplier's credentials by emailing [email protected]. Supplier will not knowingly introduce any malware or other code designed to disrupt, disable, erase, alter, harm, or otherwise impair Nordstrom Data or the Network. Supplier's access to the Network is "as is," and Nordstrom does not warrant that access to the Network will occur without problems or interruption or that the Network is error-free.

Supplier will not enter into any settlements which: (a) adversely affect the rights of Nordstrom; or (b) impose liabilities or obligations on Nordstrom which will not be satisfied by Supplier's payment or performance upon entry of such settlement. Any limitation of liability and/or waiver of damages set forth in the Agreement, Schedule or other ordering document will not apply to Supplier's obligations under this Addendum.
