8. Confidentiality
A party (“Discloser”) may disclose to the other party (“Recipient”) Confidential Information (as defined below) in connection with this POC Agreement. Recipient shall not: (i) use any Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of this POC Agreement or (ii) disclose or make any Confidential Information available to any third party, except to those of Recipients employees, contractors, and agents that and have a “need to know” in order to carry out the purpose of this POC Agreement and that have agreed to agreements containing disclosure and use provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth herein. Recipient shall protect Confidential Information in the same manner that Recipient protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind, but in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care. Recipient shall not have any confidentiality restrictions with regard to any information disclosed by Discloser to the extent that Recipient can show that such information (a) is or has become generally known to the public, other than as a result of the act or omission of Recipient; (b) was rightfully known to Recipient prior to its disclosure by Discloser without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser; (c) has been lawfully received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser; or (d) was independently developed by Recipient without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser. If Recipient is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information, it shall provide prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Discloser’s cost, upon Discloser’s reasonable written request. Due to the unique nature of Confidential Information disclosed under this POC Agreement, there can be no adequate remedy at law for Recipient’s breach of its obligations hereunder, and any such breach may result in irreparable harm to Discloser. Therefore, upon any such breach or threat thereof, the Discloser shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available to it. “Confidential Information” means technical and business information disclosed by Discloser to Recipient under this POC Agreement (which may include, but is not limited to, hardware, software, designs, specifications, techniques, processes, procedures, research, development, projects, products or services, business and marketing plans or opportunities, finances, vendors, security information, defect and support information and metrics, and third party audit reports and attestations) that is designated by Discloser as confidential or Recipient knew or should reasonably know is confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure.
