Confidentiality
Obligations. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by one Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as proprietary or confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be proprietary or confidential. Each Party shall use the same degree of care to safeguard the confidentiality of the Confidential Information that it uses to safeguard the confidentiality of its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Without limiting the foregoing, each Receiving Party agrees (i) to observe complete confidentiality with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; (ii) not to disclose, or permit any third party to disclose, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (or any portion thereof) without prior written consent of Disclosing Party; and (iii) to ensure that any employees or any third parties who receive access to the Confidential Information are advised of the confidential and proprietary nature thereof and are subject to written agreements prohibiting them from disclosing or using the Confidential Information other than for the benefit of the Receiving Party, in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly agreed by the Parties that Confidential Information of Socialie includes the Application.
Exclusions. The following shall not be deemed to be Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement: (i) information already lawfully known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (ii) information generally known to the public other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 4; (iii) information lawfully obtained from any third party that has no duty or obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; and (iv) information developed by the Receiving Party independently and without reference to information provided by the Disclosing Party.
Equitable Relief. Each Receiving Party acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is important, material and confidential, and gravely affects the successful conduct of the business of the Disclosing Party, and that any breach of this Section 4 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. The Parties recognize that a breach of Section 4 would result in irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be adequate. In the event of such breach, and without limiting the right of a Party to seek any other remedy or relief to which it may be entitled under law, each Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including temporary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance.
