6.2. Process. Subject to thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from Customer and at the Customer's additional expense (including all reasonable costs and fees for any and all time FCC expends on such audit, in addition to the rates for services performed by FCC), FCC and Customer shall mutually agree to appoint a third-party auditor to verify that FCC is in compliance with the obligations under this DPA. In no event shall the Parties agree to a third-party auditor that is a competitor to FCC. Audits and inspections will be carried out at mutually agreed times during regular business hours. Customer shall be entitled to exercise this audit right no more than once every twelve (12) months. Customer shall not be entitled to an on-site audit of FCC’s premises unless legally required by a Regulator.
6.3. Confidentiality. All information obtained during any such request for information or audit will be considered FCC’s Confidential Information under the Agreement and this DPA.

Any provision of this DPA that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invaliding the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
