Defined. “Confidential Information” shall mean all information disclosed by either Party to the other Party in oral, written or machine-readable form, which has value because it is not generally known and the owner uses reasonable efforts to protect it and identify it in writing as confidential. Confidential Information also includes any information that has been disclosed by a third-party that is required to be treated as confidential. All Confidential Information shall be marked as such or designated as such in writing within thirty (30) days following disclosure to either Party. Confidential Information does not include any information which: (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other Party; (ii) was in the other Party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained by the other Party either directly or indirectly from the disclosing Party; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the other Party by a third-party without restriction on disclosure; (iv) is independently developed by the other Party; or (v) is disclosed by operation of law. All Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of the discloser or its licensors.

19.2. Preserving Confidentiality. Each Party hereby agrees that it shall, and cause its personnel to, not use any Confidential Information received from the other Party other than as expressly permitted under the Fine Print or expressly authorized in writing by the other Party. Each Party shall use the same degree of care to protect the other Party’s Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like nature, but in no circumstances less than reasonable care. Neither Party shall disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity other than its officers, employees and independent contractors who are directly involved in performing the Services and have a specific need to know such information in order to effect the intent of the Fine Print and who have entered into written confidentiality agreements with that Party consistent with and no less restrictive than this section.

19.3. Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that any breach of the provisions of Confidentiality may cause irreparable harm and significant injury to an extent that may be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, You agree that Company will have, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it at law or in equity, the right to seek injunctive relief to enjoin any breach or violation of this section.

Notwithstanding the above, Company shall have no liability hereunder for any claim of infringement based on (i) modifications, adaptations or changes to any Work Product not made by Company, (ii) the combination or use of any Work Product with any materials not furnished by Company, if such infringement would have been avoided by use of the Work Product alone, or (iii) the use or incorporation of any materials supplied to Company by You. In the event that any portion of the Work Product is held to, or Company believes is likely to be held to, infringe the intellectual property rights of a third-party, Company shall have the right at its sole option and expense to (i) substitute or modify the Work Product so that it is non-infringing, (ii) obtain for the You a license to continue using the Work Product, or (iii) require the return, or discontinued use, of the infringing Work Product.
