For the purposes of demonstrating compliance under this Section 5.2.9, the Parties agree that once per year during the term of the Terms, Enveu will provide to Client, on reasonable notice, responses to cybersecurity and other assessments. Client agrees to pay Enveu for time and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such audits and assessments.
