In case the Customer discovers vulnerability on the Site and/or the Service that may lead to loss or unauthorized processing of Customer Data, the Customer shall inform FanExam thereof without delay. FanExam shall then investigate without undue delay whether or not the alleged vulnerability does in fact exist and notify the Customer of its findings.
