9. CONFIDENTIALITY.
a.

During the term of this Agreement, each party (the “Receiving Party”) will learn or receive information about the other (the “Disclosing Party”) which the Disclosing Party treats as confidential, including but not limited to all business, technical, marketing, financial and customer-related data (“Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Software and Documentation are the Confidential Information of LiveAction. The Receiving Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party shall be treated as confidential and protected in the same manner as the Receiving Party treats its own confidential information (but in no event less than reasonable care). The Receiving Party agrees: (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations hereunder; (ii) not to transfer, distribute or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as expressly authorized in writing by the Dislosing Party; (iii) not to reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or design around the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information; (iv) to not remove or obscure any designations of confidentiality on any Confidential Information; and (v) to confine knowledge and use of the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party to those of its employees and contractors who require such knowledge and use of the information in the ordinary course of and scope of their employment pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information which has entered the public domain by no action of the Receiving Party hereunder, was already rightfully in the possession of the Receiving Party when received from the Disclosing Party, is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party or was developed independently by the Receiving Party by individuals without access to the Disclosing Party's information.
c. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.
d. The obligations of the parties, with regard to the Confidential Information of the other that constitutes trade secrets, shall remain in effect for as long as such Confidential Information shall remain a trade secret under applicable law. All other Confidential Information shall remain protected during the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter.
e. Each of You and LiveAction acknowledge that the damages for unauthorized and/or improper disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party may be irreparable; therefore, the parties may seek equitable relief, including injunction and preliminary injunction for such alleged breaches.
f. Upon any termination of this Agreement or the parties' working relationship, and all Confidential Information shall be returned to the Disclosing Party or, at the Disclosing Party's option, destroyed. Upon request the Receiving Party shall confirm to the Disclosing Party in writing that all such Confidential Information has been fully returned or destroyed in compliance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall not be required to purge its back-up systems of Confidential Information and the Receiving Party may retain necessary Confidential Information for legal and evidentiary purposes, provided such Confidential Information remains subject to the confidentiality and is destroyed in the normal process of the Receiving Party reasonable record retention policies and procedures.
