7.1. Definitions

“Confidential Information” means all non-public information disclosed (whether in oral, written, or other tangible or intangible form) by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) related to technical, commercial, financial, employee, or planning information disclosed in connection with this Agreement and is (A) identified in writing as confidential at the time of disclosure, whether in printed, textual, graphic, or electronic form; or (B) disclosed in non-tangible form, identified as confidential at the time of disclosure, summarized in a writing labeled as “confidential”, and delivered to the Receiving Party within 15 days after disclosure; provided, however, a failure to mark information as “Confidential” or to reduce oral/visual disclosures to writing will not preclude confidential treatment under this Agreement if such information would reasonably be considered confidential based upon the nature of the information and the circumstances surrounding its disclosure. Confidential Information includes the components of the business plans, financial plans, know-how, customer information, strategies and other similar information. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement and through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) the Receiving Party can reasonably demonstrate was in its possession prior to first receiving it from the Disclosing Party; (c) the Receiving Party can demonstrate was developed by the Receiving Party independently and without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (d) the Receiving Party receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of a nondisclosure obligation.

The Receiving Party will maintain in confidence, during the Subscription Term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and will not use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care in protecting the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but at least reasonable care. In addition, the Receiving Party will only disclose Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to its and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement and only if such affiliates, directors, officers, employees and contractors are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the non-disclosure obligations contained in this Section 7.

7.3. Feedback

Customer acknowledges that any suggestions, comments or other feedback provided by Customer to Allbound with respect to Allbound, the Allbound Services or the Professional Services (“Feedback”) may be used by Allbound for the purpose of optimizing, improving, enhancing or creating derivative products. Allbound shall have no obligation to compensate Customer and shall not identify Customer as the source of such Feedback.

7.4. Injunctive Relief

The Receiving Party acknowledges that any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party may result in irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party, which injury may not be adequately compensated by the payment of money damages. In addition to any other legal and equitable remedies that may be available, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of the confidentiality obligations hereunder, from any court of competent jurisdiction, without being required to: (a) show any actual damage or irreparable harm; (b) prove the inadequacy of its legal remedies; or (c) post any bond or other security.

7.5. Data Protection

Each party shall at all times during the term of this Agreement comply with all applicable legislation pertaining to data protection, data privacy, data retention and/or data security (including the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act) and all associated codes of practice and other guidance issues by any applicable data protection authority (“Data Protection Legislation”).
