In addition, any other nonpublic information which one party (“Discloser”) discloses to the other party (“Recipient”) in the course of their communications regarding the Project will be considered Confidential Information, including but not limited to nonpublic product plans, designs, costs, prices, names, finances, marketing plans, business opportunities, forecasts, orders, personnel, customer information, research, development, know-how, third party confidential information or information learned by Recipient from Discloser’s employees, agents or through inspection of Discloser’s property; provided such information is clearly designated as “Confidential”: (i) in writing, if communicated in writing, or (ii) at the time of disclosure, if disclosed orally or visually.

Nothing in this Agreement will obligate either party to disclose any Confidential Information.
2. Nondisclosure and Nonuse of Confidential Information. Recipient agrees to protect Discloser’s Confidential Information, using at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient agrees to use Discloser’s Confidential Information for the sole purpose of evaluation in connection with the Project and discussions with Discloser related to the Project, or as otherwise agreed upon in writing by an authorized representative of Discloser. Recipient will not disclose, publish, or disseminate Confidential Information to anyone other than those of its employees and consultants who have a need to know in order to accomplish such purpose and who are bound by a written agreement that prohibits unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information. Recipient will be responsible for any violation of the terms of this Agreement by its employees and consultants. Recipient agrees not to use Confidential Information for any other purpose or for its own or any third party’s benefit without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Discloser in each instance.

Discloser understands that Recipient may currently or in the future be developing Confidential Information internally, or receiving Confidential Information from other parties that may be similar to Discloser’s Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit Recipient from developing products, or having products developed for it, that compete with Discloser’s products, provided that in doing so, Recipient does not use or disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information.
6. Residuals. Through the course of receiving Confidential Information, Recipient may increase their intangible knowledge and experience about the subject matter of the Confidential Information disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the subsequent use of such knowledge and experience is permitted provided that Recipient does not intentionally memorize Confidential Information or refer to or base any such subsequent use on written materials containing Confidential Information. The foregoing does not constitute a license, express or implied, by Discloser to Recipient to any patent or copyright of Discloser.
7. No Warranty. Discloser warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information to Recipient. Otherwise, all information is provided “AS IS” and without any warranty, express, implied or otherwise, regarding its accuracy or performance.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement with respect to the Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to this Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such Confidential Information. This Agreement may not be amended except by written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, without reference to conflict of laws principles.
