Confidential Information Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitutes the confidential information of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. The Services and any updates, upgrades, modifications, derivatives, specifications, technical guides, other software, or other documentation provided by Xxxxxx (or its agents) shall be deemed Confidential Information of Xxxxxx without any marking or future designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to the regulation, law, or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone may not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, if Xxxxxx is in possession of any Customer Materials, Xxxxxx shall delete, return, or make available to Customer all Customer Materials then in its possession. Upon request by Customer within thirty (30) days after any expiration or termination of the applicable Order Form, Xxxxxx will either make Customer Materials available to Customer through the Services on a limited basis solely for the purposes of data retrieval or will reasonably assist Customer with such retrieval. After such thirty (30) day period, Xxxxxx will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Materials and, unless legally prohibited, may delete all Customer Materials. Customer acknowledges that certain Xxxxxx Services do not store or maintain Customer Materials.
