When this DPA is updated a Commerce Entity shall provide notice (email to suffice) to the customer. If within thirty (30) days of receiving the update, Customer does not provide written notice to the Commerce Entity of any reasonable objections that detail why the proposed change would not adequately support Customer’s obligations under the Data Protection Laws, Customer will be deemed to have consented to the proposed update.
