Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.  For the avoidance of doubt, all non-public facing elements and components of the Software, RizePoint Reporting and Service are deemed Confidential Information of RizePoint.  Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is in the Receiving Party’s possession at the time of disclosure; (ii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to Confidential Information; (iii) becomes known publicly, before or after disclosure, other than as a result of the Receiving Party’s improper action or inaction; or (iv) is approved for release in writing by the Disclosing Party.
  2. Nondisclosure Obligations. The Receiving Party will not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than to facilitate the provision of the Service (the “Purpose”). The Receiving Party: (i) will not disclose Confidential Information to any employee or contractor of the Receiving Party unless such person needs access in order to facilitate the Purpose and executes a nondisclosure agreement with the Receiving Party, with terms no less restrictive than those set forth herein; and (ii) will not disclose Confidential Information to any other third party without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Receiving Party will protect Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature and importance, but with no less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information that comes to the Receiving Party’s attention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. The Receiving Party will give the Disclosing Party prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at the Disclosing Party’s expense.
  3. Injunction. The Receiving Party agrees that breach of this Section 10 might cause the Disclosing Party irreparable injury, for which monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedy, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security.
