You warrant that you will comply with the DPA and relevant laws as the controller of personal data, as applicable. Those obligations may include, among others, and depending on the applicable laws, an obligation to:
5.2.1.Notify Influencers of the fact of processing their personal data (at a minimum those Influencers whom you establish contact with at the time of first contact);
5.2.2.Notify Influencers the source where you obtained Influencer personal data;
5.2.3.Notify Influencers of their rights (right of deletion, provision of information and similar);

5.2.5.Keep personal data of Influencers secure in order to prevent unauthorized access or loss. 5.2.6.Register with relevant authorities, if required.
5.3. Those obligations arise independently of the Parties’ relationship, solely based on the fact of processing personal data of Influencers. Neither Party is in a position to remove this obligation through any contractual means.
5.4. Our Services are limited to the provision of Influencer information to you for the establishment of contact and in the promotion of a business. What you do with that information after receipt is purely a matter of your business needs. While we cannot insist on how you process personal data you obtain through our Services compliance with the data protection laws is in your interest as the controller of that personal data, in order to avoid regulatory penalties and damage to the reputation.
5.5. Services are provided to you solely upon your request and instruction. You tell us your needs, we find relevant Influencers for you to get in touch with.
5.6. For instance, if you order information on five Influencers from Singapore with 10,000 followers, whose interests span sports, travelling, healthy eating with a 10% and above engagement rate for a post – we, as data processors, will try to find information on such Influencers to you and submit them as part of Services. You would then be under an obligation to treat that information in accordance with the relevant data protection laws of both the Influencers as well as your country of incorporation. We are not in a position to eliminate the need for your compliance with the data protection laws.
5.7. On our part, we warrant to comply with relevant data protection laws in cases where we are regarded an independent controller of that personal data.

6. Charged Services
6.1. Certain features of the Site or the Services are associated with charges or fees (“Charged Services”). 6.2. All charges and fees would be listed in the invoice in USD, EUR or other applicable currency of our choice (of which you would be notified in advance).

Pricing is flexible and subject to change at any time, except that once an order for any Charged Service is placed in a given instance at the published price, that price for said order shall be locked until that Service has been provided.

In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made. Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of content, features. IQFluence does not accept any liability for such loss. IQFluence reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services for nonpayment.
