In addition, and subject to Confidence’s obligations under Section 6, Confidence may use Customer Data for product research, development, and innovation.
Confidentiality and Data Security
1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information of a party or its Affiliates (“Discloser”) disclosed to the other party or its Affiliates (“Recipient”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. The Services and Confidence Data are our Confidential Information. Customer Data is your Confidential Information.
2. Exceptions. Confidential Information excludes: (i) information that was known to the Recipient without a confidentiality restriction prior to its disclosure by the Discloser; (ii) information that was or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Recipient; (iii) information that the Recipient rightfully received from a third party authorized to make such disclosure without restriction; (iv) information that has been independently developed by the Recipient without use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information; and (v) information that was authorized for release in writing by the Discloser.
3. Confidentiality Obligations. The Recipient will use the same degree of care and resources as it uses for its own confidential information of like nature (but no less than reasonable care) to protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information from any use or disclosure not permitted by this Agreement or authorized by the Discloser. The Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to its employees, Affiliates and service providers who need access to such Confidential Information to affect the intent of this Agreement, provided that they are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those herein. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of this section by its employees, Affiliates, and service providers.
4. Disclosure Required by Law. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by court or administrative order or law, provided that the Recipient provides advance notice thereof (unless requested or ordered not to do so by law enforcement or a court) and reasonable assistance, at the Discloser’s cost, to enable the Discloser to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or limit such disclosure.
5. Injunctive Relief. A breach of the Recipient’s confidentiality obligations may cause irreparable damage, which money cannot satisfactorily remedy, and therefore the Discloser may seek injunctive relief for any threatened or actual breach of Section 6.3 without the need to prove damages or post a bond or other surety.
6. Data Security. We will maintain and enforce an information security program for the protection of Customer Data, including commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to (i) protect the confidentiality, availability and integrity of Customer Data, (ii) restore the availability of Customer Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident, and (iii) ensure the proper disposal and destruction of Customer Data. We will notify you, as required by applicable law, of any actual or reasonably suspected breach of security known to us that has resulted in, or creates a reasonable risk of, unauthorized access to Customer Data without undue delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and with any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and to restore the integrity of the Services.
7. Non- Confidence Equipment. The Services are provided over the internet via networks only part of which are within our control. Our obligations in Section 6.6 apply only to networks and equipment within our control, and we are not responsible for any delay, loss, interception, or alteration of Customer Data on a network or infrastructure outside of our control.
Third-Party Services
1. No Endorsement or Warranty. We may present to you, including on our websites, Third-Party Services. We do not endorse or make any representation, warranty or promise regarding, and do not assume any responsibility for, any such Third-Party Service or a Third-Party Provider, regardless of whether it is described as “authorized,” “certified”, “recommended” or the like and regardless of whether the Third-Party Service is included in your Order. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, and should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with a Third-Party Provider or obtaining any Third-Party Service. We have no obligation to provide support for Third-Party Services and do not guarantee the initial or continuing interoperability of the Services with any Third-Party Services. If a Third-Party Provider ceases to make the Third-Party Services available for interoperation with any feature of the Services on reasonable terms, we may cease providing such feature without liability.
2. Data Sharing. If you obtain a Third-Party Service that requires access to or transfer of Customer Data, you acknowledge that any such access or transfer is between you and the Third-Party Provider pursuant to the Third-Party Provider’s own privacy notices and policies, and that we are authorized to provide the Customer Data as requested by the Third-Party Service.
