Required Confidentiality Claim Form This is a requirement of the TIPS Contract and is non-negotiable. TIPS provides the required TIPS Confidentiality Claim Form in the "Attachments" section of this solicitation. Vendor must execute this form by either signing and waiving any confidentiality claim, or designating portions of Vendor's proposal confidential. If Vendor considers any portion of Vendor's proposal to be confidential and not subject to public disclosure pursuant to Chapter 552 Texas Gov’t Code or other law(s) and orders, Vendor must have identified the claimed confidential materials through proper execution of the Confidentiality Claim Form. If TIPS receives a public information act or similar request, any responsive documentation not deemed confidential by you in this manner will be automatically released. For Vendor documents deemed confidential by you in this manner, TIPS will follow procedures of controlling statute(s) regarding any claim of confidentiality and shall not be liable for any release of information required by law, including Attorney General determination and opinion. Notwithstanding any other Vendor designation of Vendor's proposal as confidential or proprietary, Vendor’s submission of this proposal constitutes Vendor’s agreement that proper execution of the required TIPS Confidentiality Claim Form is the only way to assert any portion of Vendor's proposal as confidential.
Confidentiality; Press Releases (a) Reliant and ASL will be exchanging confidential and proprietary information relating to the Active Ingredient and Products and their respective businesses at the inception of and from time to time during the term of this Agreement.

Such obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information which (i) is known to the receiving party prior to the disclosure, (ii) is publicly known as of the date of the disclosure, (iii) becomes publicly known after the date of disclosure through no fault of the receiving party, (iv) is received from a third party who has no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party or (v) is developed independently by or for the receiving party. Such obligation of confidentiality shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the date of termination of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 4.1(a), (i) Reliant shall be permitted to disclose to its manufacturers, subcontractors, wholesalers, other direct customers, investment bankers and/or financing sources such confidential information relating to the Products and this Agreement as Reliant shall reasonably determine to be necessary in order to effectively market and distribute the Products or otherwise engage in a bona fide financing transaction and (ii) ASL shall be permitted to disclose to its Affiliates, manufacturers, subcontractors, wholesalers, other direct customers, investment bankers and/or financing sources such confidential information relating to the Active Ingredient and Products as ASL may reasonably determine to be necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, provided that such entities undertake the same confidentiality obligation as the disclosing party has with respect to the other’s confidential information and provided that ASL and its Affiliates may disclose the fact of the Agreement for purposes of marketing its services.
(c) Except as may be required by applicable laws, rules or regulations (including in connection with a public offering of securities), neither party will originate any publicity, news release, or other public announcement, written or oral, whether to the public press or otherwise, relating to this Agreement, any amendment hereto or to performance hereunder, or the existence of an arrangement between the parties, without the prior written approval of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that such obligation is not intended to restrict either party’s ability to promote, market and sell the Products or its services in a commercially reasonable manner). In the event disclosure is required by applicable law, rules or regulations, then the party required to so disclose such information shall, to the extent possible, provide to the other party for its approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) a written copy of such public announcement at least ten (10) business days prior to disclosure. In the absence of a communication approving or disapproving of the public announcement from the party with the right of approval by the end of such ten (10) day period, such party shall be deemed to have approved the public announcement.

The State will not disclose information for which a reasonable claim of exemption can be made pursuant to 1 V.S.A. § 317(c), including, but not limited to, trade secrets, proprietary information or financial information, including any formulae, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data, or compilation of information which is not patented, which is known only to the Contractor, and which gives the Contractor an opportunity to obtain business advantage over competitors who do not know it or use it.
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"). All Records, Client Agency Data, and any Data owned by the State in any form, in the possession of the Contractor or Contractor Parties, whether uploaded, collected, stored, held, hosted, located or utilized by Contractor and Contractor Parties directly or indirectly, must remain within the continental United States.

The Confidentiality Claim Form included in Vendor’s proposal and incorporated herein by reference is the sole indicator of whether Vendor considers any Vendor Data confidential in the event TIPS receives a Public Information Request. If TIPS receives a request, any responsive documentation not deemed confidential by you in this manner will be automatically released. For Vendor Data deemed confidential by you in this manner, TIPS will follow procedures of controlling statute(s) regarding any claim of confidentiality and shall not be liable for any release of information required by law, including Attorney General determination and opinion. In the event that TIPS receives a written request for information pursuant to the Public Information Act that affects Vendor’s interest in any information or data furnished to TIPS by Vendor, and TIPS requests an opinion from the Attorney General, Vendor may, at its own option and expense, prepare comments and submit information directly to the Attorney General stating why the requested information is exempt from disclosure pursuant to the requirements of the Public Information Act.
