Data cap

The £300,000 limit on what each side can owe the other under the Agreement, data claims included. It sits beside the Subscription Agreement’s £90,000 cap, not inside it. Repayments of compensation under clause 13.2 count towards it. Agreement, clause 13.1 · Chapter 4

Explained in Chapter 4, Negotiating a Data Processing Agreement (Article 28), of Data Protection.
