access to. The data is not used internally or any place that Client does not have
access to. DashThis does not monitor, endorse, adopt, or have any control over
any third-party web pages or content.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1. Confidential Information. In connection with this Agreement, each Party (as the
"Disclosing Party") may disclose or make available to the other Party (as the
"Receiving Party") Confidential Information, and therefore, each Party
undertakes to keep confidential the Confidential Information in accordance with
the terms hereof.
7.2. Definition. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall
mean any information of the Disclosing Party that is not available to the public and
that, if disclosed, would likely result in harm to the Disclosing Party or would likely
give the person to whom it is disclosed an advantage, whether such information is
disclosed or made available to the Receiving Party or its Representatives orally or
disclosed, stored or accessed in written, electronic or other form or media, before
or after the Effective Date, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise
identified as “confidential”, as well as any information derived, summarized, or
extracted from, based on, or relating, to any of the foregoing. Confidential
Information does not include information that:
7.2.1. was rightfully known to Receiving Party without restriction on use or
disclosure before such information’s being disclosed or made available
to Receiving Party in connection with this Agreement;
7.2.2. was or becomes generally known by the public other than by Receiving
Party’s or any of its Representatives’ non-compliance with this
Agreement;
7.2.3. was or is received by Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a
third party that, to Receiving Party’s knowledge, was not or is not, at the
time of such receipt, under any obligation to maintain its confidentiality; or
7.2.4. was or is independently developed by Receiving Party without reference
to or use of any Confidential Information.
7.3. Protection of Confidential Information. As a condition to being provided with
any disclosure of or access to Confidential Information, Receiving Party shall:
7.3.1. not access or use Confidential Information other than as necessary to
exercise its rights or perform its obligations under and in accordance
with this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party
will not use or modify any Confidential Information in order to create or
conceive any other product, technology, or information. The Receiving
Party will not use any Confidential Information to compete against the
Disclosing Party or in any manner which might be detrimental to the
Disclosing Party, and will not allow any third party to do any of the
foregoing;
7.3.2. except as may be permitted under the terms and conditions of
Section 7.5, not disclose or permit access to Confidential Information
other than to its Representatives who: (i) need to know such Confidential
Information for purposes of Receiving Party’s exercise of its rights or
performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this
Agreement; (ii) have been informed of the confidential nature of the
Confidential Information and Receiving Party’s obligations under this
Section 7; and (iii) are bound by confidentiality and restricted use
obligations at least as protective of the Confidential Information as the
terms set forth in this Section 7;
7.3.3. safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access,
or disclosure using at least the degree of care it uses to protect its
similarly sensitive information and, in no event, less than a reasonable
degree of care; and
7.3.4. ensure its Representatives’ compliance with, and be responsible and
liable for any of its Representatives’ non-compliance with, the terms of
this Section 7.
7.4. Liability. The Receiving Party shall be directly responsible towards the Disclosing
Party for any loss or damage caused by the breach of any obligation set forth
herein by the Receiving Party or its Representatives. The Receiving Party
recognizes that its neglect in respecting this Agreement could cause serious and
irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party. Consequently, the Receiving Party
agrees that a claim in pecuniary damages may not constitute a suitable recourse
in case of violation of this Agreement, that the Disclosing Party has a right to
injunctive relief or specific performance in any case of violation and that such
recourses are not exclusive and add to any other recourse available to the
Disclosing Party.
7.5. Compelled Disclosures. If Receiving Party or any of its Representatives is
compelled by applicable law to disclose any Confidential Information, then, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, Receiving Party shall: (a) promptly, and before
such disclosure, notify Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement so that
Disclosing Party can seek an injunction, protective order, or other remedy or
waive its rights under Section 7.3; and (b) provide reasonable assistance to
Disclosing Party, at Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such
disclosure or seeking an injunction, protective order, or other limitations on
disclosure. If the Disclosing Party waives compliance or, after providing the notice
and assistance required under this Section 7.5, Receiving Party remains required
by law to disclose any Confidential Information, Receiving Party shall disclose
only that portion of the Confidential Information that Receiving Party is legally
required to disclose.
7.6. Trade Secrets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Receiving
Party’s obligations under this Section 7 with respect to any Confidential
Information that constitutes a trade secret under any applicable law will continue
until such time, if ever, as such Confidential Information ceases to qualify for trade
secret protection under one or more such applicable laws other than as a result of
any act or omission of Receiving Party or any of its Representatives.
7.7. Return of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party undertakes to
return to the Disclosing Party or to destroy upon request and at the sole discretion
of the Disclosing Party, within ten (10) days of a written notice to that effect, all
documents or other forms of support representing or constituting the Confidential
Information received and collected under this Agreement, and this without saving
any copies of said Confidential Information. The Receiving Party also undertakes
to join with such returned Confidential Information a sworn statement confirming
that said Confidential Information constitutes all the information received and
collected under the present Agreement.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
8.1. Intellectual Property Rights. DashThis shall retain all interest in and to the
Provider Materials, including any modifications, improvements, upgrades,
derivative works, and all other IP Rights in connection thereof, including DashThis’
name, logos and trademarks reproduced through the Provider Materials, or any
Feedback provided by the Client. Nothing in this Agreement grants any right, title,
or interest in or to (including any licence under) any IP Rights in or relating to, the
Services or Provider Materials, whether expressly, by implication, or otherwise.
8.2. Feedback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, DashThis
has not agreed to and does not agree to treat as confidential any part of the
Feedback and nothing in this Agreement or in the Parties’ dealings arising out of
or related to this Agreement will restrict DashThis’ right to use, profit from,
disclose, publish, keep secret or otherwise exploit the Feedback, without
compensating or crediting Client. “Feedback” refers to any suggestion or idea for
improving or otherwise modifying the Provider Materials.
8.3. Client Data. Neither DashThis nor any third party has or will have and will not
have, acquire, or claim any right, title, or interest in or to any Client Data. Client
hereby grants to DashThis: (i) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right and
license to reproduce, distribute, and otherwise use and display the Client Data
and perform all acts with respect to the Client Data as may be necessary for
DashThis to provide the Services (to the extent applicable) to Client; and (ii) a
non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide right and licence to
reproduce, distribute, modify, and otherwise use and display the Client Data
incorporated within the Aggregated Data.
8.4. Client’s Trademarks. Client hereby grants DashThis a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free, and fully paid-up right and licence, but
no obligation, to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and exhibit Client’s
trademarks, logos and corporate name (collectively, the “Client’s Trademarks”) in
connection with the Services (to the extent applicable). DashThis shall comply
with all reasonable brand and trademark guidelines and requirements of which it
has notice relating to the use of Client’s Trademarks as the Client, from time to
time, may institute in its reasonable judgment; provided however that no
inadvertent failure to comply with such guidelines and requirements shall be
deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

all other remedies that may be available to DashThis:

arising out of this Agreement, exceed the total of the amounts paid to DashThis
under this Agreement in the 12-month period preceding the event giving rise to
