Confidential Information shall not include information which: (x) is or becomes part of the public domain through no act or omission of a party or; (y) was in a party’s lawful possession before disclosure and had not been obtained by another party either directly or indirectly from the other party; or (c) is lawfully disclosed to a party by a third party (other than one of the other parties) without restriction on disclosure.
(c) Provider may use Confidential Information of iCare or Sysco, including without limitation Customer Lists, only for the purpose of promoting its Services under the iCare Program and in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, under no circumstances shall Provider allow Confidential Information to be used in any manner that is not specifically permitted hereby or that is directly or indirectly adverse to Sysco or iCare. Provider shall not disclose, publish, or disseminate Confidential Information (including the Customer Lists) to any third party, and agrees to exercise the utmost care and discretion to prevent disclosure, publication or dissemination of Confidential Information to any third party.

Except in connection with promoting the Services, iCare shall not disclose, publish, or disseminate Designated Confidential Information of Provider to any third party, and agrees to exercise the utmost care and discretion to prevent disclosure, publication or dissemination of Designated Confidential Information to any third party, except in connection with promoting the Services. iCare agrees that Designated Confidential Information shall be disclosed only to iCare’s employees and authorized personnel who: (a) in iCare’s reasonable judgment, have a specific need to know such information; and (b) agree to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Accordingly, each party agrees that the non-disclosing party (or Sysco if applicable) shall be entitled to injunctive relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) iCare does not make any warranty or representation whatsoever to Provider as to the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential Information (including the Customer Lists) and Provider agrees that neither Sysco nor iCare shall have any liability to Provider or any other person resulting from Provider’s use of the Confidential Information

Such written authorization may be withheld or conditioned in the sole and absolute discretion of iCare. This restriction applies to providing or promoting Services through competitors of SYSCO only, and is not intended to limit in any way Provider’s freedom to market and sell the Services directly to restaurants and other foodservice operators (as opposed to distributors) through its own sales force, through existing marketing agreements and sales channels, or through any other means, provided that no Customer Lists or other Confidential Information of iCare or SYSCO is used in connection therewith.
