12.4.1 by at least 30 (thirty) Days’ written notice to IT-CO from time to time make any variations to the Standard Contractual Clauses (including any Standard Contractual Clauses entered into under section 11.1), as they apply to Restricted Transfers which are subject to a particular Data Protection Law, which are required, as a result of any change in, or decision of a competent authority under, that Data Protection Law, to allow those Restricted Transfers to be made (or continue to be made) without breach of that Data Protection Law; and
