If the Discloser provides Confidential Information to the Recipient in oral form, this Section 12 will apply if the Discloser (a) identifies such information as Confidential Information at the time it is first disclosed to the Recipient; and (b) confirms in writing to the Recipient within thirty (30) days of disclosure the fact that such information is deemed Confidential Information by the Discloser. The written confirmation shall include a summary of the information the Discloser deems confidential. | |
12.2 | Except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, the Recipient shall not copy, distribute, disclose, or otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information to any third party without the Discloser’s prior written consent. | |
12.3 | The Recipient shall safeguard all of the Discloser’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care as it uses to safeguard its own confidential and proprietary information of a like nature, provided that it shall never use less than a reasonable degree of care. The Recipient will promptly report any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information and will take any further actions that are reasonably requested by the Discloser to prevent or remedy any such violation. | |
12.4 | Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, a Recipient’s obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the other’s Confidential Information shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the date of termination of this Agreement. | |
12.5 | If the Recipient is served with a subpoena, demand, writ, summons, citation, order for disclosure of documents or other legal process in any way concerning the Confidential Information of Discloser, the Recipient shall notify the Discloser immediately in writing, and both parties shall cooperate in any lawful effort to contest the validity of such subpoena or legal process and to ensure that the confidentiality of such Confidential Information is maintained during the pendency of such legal process. | |
12.6 | This Agreement imposes no obligation upon a Recipient with respect to any information that the Recipient can show: (a) was rightfully in the Recipient’s possession before receipt from the Discloser, (b) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of Recipient or any third party; (c) is rightfully received by the Recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the Recipient without any reference to any Confidential Information. The Recipient shall have the burden of proving the applicability of any of the above exceptions. If any portion of a Discloser’s Confidential Information falls within one of the above exceptions, the remainder of the Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. | |
