  1. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

For purposes of this Agreement, confidential information shall include the terms of the Agreement, customer data, and any information that is clearly identified in writing at the time of disclosure as confidential (“Confidential Information”). Each party shall: (a) keep confidential all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party or by a third-party; (b) not use the Confidential Information of the other party except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations or exercise rights under this Agreement; and (c) protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of such Confidential Information) and to make Confidential Information available to authorized persons only on a “need to know” basis. Either party may disclose Confidential Information on a need-to-know basis to its employees or contractors who have executed written agreements requiring them to maintain such information in strict confidence and use it only to facilitate the performance of their services in connection with the performance of the Products and Services. Confidential Information shall not include information which: (1) is known publicly; (2) is generally known in the industry before disclosure; (3) has become known publicly, without fault of the recipient, subsequent to disclosure by the disclosing party; or (4) the recipient becomes aware of from a third party not bound by non-disclosure obligations to the disclosing party and with the lawful right to disclose such information to the recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 16 will not prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is permitted by law or order of a court or other governmental authority or regulation. With respect to any information received by either party from the other as a result of any other relationship between the parties other than in the course of performance hereunder (e.g., business development, partnership, alliance, etc.), the parties will abide by the terms and conditions of any applicable Nondisclosure Agreement (or similar agreement) executed between the parties. 

  1. INVALIDITY

If any of the provisions of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired. In any such circumstances the parties shall negotiate in good faith in order to agree the terms of a mutually satisfactory provision, achieving as nearly as possible the same commercial effect, to be substituted for the provision which is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable. 

  1. WAIVER

The failure or delay by either party to exercise or enforce any right, power or remedy under this commercial arrangement shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party operate so as to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof or of any right, power or remedy on any later occasion.
