6. Confidentiality

6.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information of a party (“Discloser”) disclosed to the other party (“Recipient”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as “confidential” or “proprietary” or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Company’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Company IP, including the source code of the Authorized Application(s). Customer Data is Customer’s Confidential Information.

6.2 Exceptions. Confidential Information excludes: (i) information that was known to the Recipient without a confidentiality restriction prior to its disclosure by the Discloser; (ii) information that was or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Recipient; (iii) information that the Recipient rightfully received from a third party authorized to make such disclosure without restriction; (iv) information that has been independently developed by the Recipient without reference to or use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information; and (v) information that was authorized for release in writing by the Discloser.

6.3 Confidentiality Obligations. The Recipient will use the same degree of care as it uses for its own confidential information of like sensitivity (but no less than reasonable care) to protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information from any use or disclosure not permitted by the Agreement or authorized by the Discloser. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under the terms of the Agreement, the Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information only to its employees, agents and representatives who need access to such Confidential Information to effect the intent of the Agreement and that are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set out herein. Further, the Recipient will use the Discloser’s Confidential Information only for the purposes of performing its obligations, or exercising its rights, under the Agreement. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6 resulting from the actions or omissions of its employees, agents or representatives.

6.4 Disclosures Required by Law. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by court or administrative order or applicable law, provided that the Recipient furnishes the Discloser with advance notice thereof (unless requested or ordered not to do so by the compelling governmental authority) and reasonable assistance, at the Discloser’s cost, to enable the Discloser to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or limit such disclosure.

6.5 Injunctive Relief. A breach of the Recipient’s confidentiality obligations may cause irreparable damage, which money cannot satisfactorily remedy, and therefore the Discloser may seek immediate injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction for any threatened or actual breach of this Section 6 without the need to prove damages or post a bond or other surety.

Customer will not request that Company process any Personal Data of data subjects who are domiciled in such jurisdictions unless Customer first enters into a written agreement with Company providing instructions for such processing in accordance with applicable law.
