Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure The State shall exercise at least the same degree of care to safeguard any trade secrets or confidential information of Contractor as the State does its own property of a similar nature and shall take reasonable steps to ensure that neither the confidential information of Contractor nor any part of it will be disclosed for reasons other than its own business interests. Such prohibition on disclosures does not apply to disclosures by the State to its employees, agents or representatives, provided such disclosures are reasonably necessary to the State’s use of the Deliverable, and provided further that the State will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Deliverable is not disclosed by such parties in contravention of this Contract. The State’s performance of the requirements of this Section shall be subject to the State of Connecticut Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA").

Confidentiality/Nondisclosure 19.1 Neither Party will, without the prior written consent of the other Party (a) issue any public announcement regarding, or make any other disclosure of the terms of, this Agreement or use the name or marks of the other Party or its Affiliates; or (b) disclose or use (except as expressly permitted by, or required to achieve the purposes of, this Agreement) the Confidential Information of the other Party. Consent may only be given on behalf of a Party by its Legal Department. However, a Party may disclose Confidential Information if required to do so by a governmental agency, by operation of law, or if necessary in any proceeding to establish rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that the disclosing Party gives the non-disclosing Party reasonable prior written notice and the receiving Party will cooperate with the disclosing Party to seek or take appropriate protective measures and will make such disclosure in a manner to best protect the Confidential Information from further disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reporting or filing obligations or requirements are imposed upon Qwest by any third party or regulatory agency in connection with this Agreement, CLEC agrees to assist Qwest in complying with such obligations and requirements, as reasonably required by Qwest and to hold Qwest harmless for any failure by CLEC in this regard. Qwest’s compliance with any regulatory filing obligation will not constitute a violation of this section. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to protect the other’s Confidential Information, and will use at least the same efforts to protect such Confidential Information as the Party would use to protect its own.
19.2 All Confidential Information will remain the property of the disclosing Party. A Party who receives Confidential Information via an oral communication may request written confirmation that the material is Confidential Information. A Party who delivers Confidential Information via an oral communication may request written confirmation that the Party receiving the information understands that the material is Confidential Information. Each Party has the right to correct an inadvertent failure to identify information as Confidential Information by giving written notification within thirty (30) Days after the information is disclosed. The receiving Party will from that time forward, treat such information as Confidential Information.
