EXECUTION COPY | Page 15 of 24 |
16.1.1 | treat and safeguard as private and confidential all the Relevant Information of the Disclosing Party; |
16.1.2 | use the Relevant Information of the Disclosing Party only during the duration of this Agreement and the relevant Project Agreement for those purposes reasonably necessary for or anticipated under this Agreement and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, not use any Relevant Information of the Disclosing Party to obtain any commercial advantage over the Disclosing Party; |
16.1.3 | ensure the proper and secure storage of all Relevant Information of the Disclosing Party applying standards of care reasonably expected and no less stringent than standards applied to protection of the Recipient Party's own confidential information; |
16.1.4 | not at any time without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent disclose or reveal, whether directly or indirectly any of the Relevant Information of the Disclosing Party to any person whatsoever save its Permitted Recipients, and then only on a limited need to know basis, who shall be informed by it of the confidential nature of the Relevant Information and of the confidentiality terms of this Agreement and for whom it hereby accepts full responsibility in the event that any such person shall breach the duty of confidence imposed upon them; and |
16.1.5 | not at any time have any discussion, correspondence or contact with any third party concerning the Relevant Information of the Disclosing without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. |
16.2 | The obligations in this Agreement regarding Relevant Information do not apply to information: |
16.2.1 | which, at the time of its disclosure by the Disclosing Party, was wholly available to the public and could be obtained without reference to the Relevant Information by any person with no more than reasonable diligence; |
16.2.2 | which becomes generally available to the public after such disclosure otherwise than by reason of a breach of any of the undertakings in this Agreement or any breaches of confidence by the Recipient Party or its Permitted Recipients; |
16.2.3 | which is, at the time of such disclosure and as evidenced by the Recipient Party's written records, lawfully already within its possession; or |
16.2.4 | to the extent that the Recipient Party or any of its Permitted Recipients is compelled to disclose the Relevant Information by law or by any stock exchange or other Competent Authority having jurisdiction over it or them (but, for the avoidance of doubt, only to that extent). |
16.3 | Other than the limited and restricted rights of use set out in this clause 11 nothing in this Agreement or any Project Agreement intends to or has the effect of granting any right, title, licence or interest in or to the Recipient Party or Permitted Recipients in respect of the Disclosing Party's Relevant Information. |
16.4 | If the Recipient Party or any of its Permitted Recipients becomes compelled to disclose any Relevant Information of confidentiality or a breach or threatened breach or becomes apparent or becomes aware of any misuse of the Relevant Information, the Recipient Party shall inform the Disclosing Party in writing of such obligation or fact as soon as possible after it is informed, or becomes aware, of it and if possible, before any Relevant Information is disclosed, so that (if the Disclosing Party in its absolute discretion shall see fit) a protective order or other appropriate remedy may be sought. The Recipient Party agrees to assist and co operate (and shall procure that each of its Permitted Recipients shall, as appropriate, assist and co-operate) in any action which the Disclosing Party may decide to take.

EXECUTION COPY | Page 16 of 24 |

16.6 | Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement or the relevant Project Agreement or at the request of the Disclosing Party, the Recipient Party shall promptly return to the Disclosing Party any and all Relevant Information (including copies of documents, computer records and records on all other media) then in its possession or under its control except where such Relevant Information is covered under surviving licence rights between the Parties, or, at the Disclosing Parties option and request, destroy any and all Relevant Information, and if the Disclosing Party requires the destruction of the remaining Relevant Information, the Recipient Party shall provide to the Disclosing Party written confirmation of such destruction. |
16.7 | The provisions of this clause shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) years. |
16.8 | The Parties agree not to advertise, disclose or publish in any way the existence of this Agreement or any Project Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Save that CUSTOMER may make such a disclosure in respect of any negotiations or due diligence exercises with a view to entering into a contractual relationship, in such circumstances SUPPLIER’s consent shall not be required. |
16.9 | The name of a Party or the names of any of its staff shall not be used for any advertising, promotional, or other public purposes by the other Party without the prior written consent of the first Party. |
16.10 | The Recipient Party acknowledges that disclosure or distribution of the Relevant Information or any part of it or use of the Relevant Information or any part of it contrary to the terms of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm for which damages at law may not be an adequate remedy, and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement prohibiting disclosure or distribution of the Information or use contrary to the provisions hereof may be specifically enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction in addition to any and all other remedies available at law or in equity. |
16.11 | For the avoidance of doubt SUPPLIER shall treat the Service Data as Relevant Information of CUSTOMER. |
16.12 | If the Disclosing Party is a listed company, the Relevant Information may contain unpublished information that could affect the market value of the share of the Disclosing Party.

17. | FORCE MAJEURE |
17.1 | In the event any Party is delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of a Force Majeure Event, then performance of such act will be excused for the period of such delay, provided however, that such Party shall exert its reasonable efforts to overcome such Force Majeure Event and to resume performance of its obligations in a timely manner. |
17.2 | Notice of the commencement and ending of such Force Majeure Event will be provided by such Party to the other Party within ten (10) Business Days.

In case the Project Agreement is then terminated by CUSTOMER because SUPPLIER is unable to overcome the related Force Majeure Event, the Minimum Yearly Volume for the Year where the related Project Agreement is recorded as referred to in the Master Agreement shall be reduced by the price for the related Project Agreement. |
18. | Governing Law and Disputes |
18.1 | The interpretation and construction of this Agreement and each Project Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of France. |
18.2 | In the event that agreement on a matter cannot be reached within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if required), the Parties shall first try to settle their differences amicably between themselves.
