Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, in confidence, to a potential purchaser of or successor to any portion of such party’s business resulting from the reorganization, spin-off, or sale of all or a portion of all of the assets of any business, division, or group of such party, and Braze may disclose the terms of this Agreement to Customer’s Affiliates in connection with the procurement of the Braze Services by such Affiliates.

9. TERM & TERMINATION

9.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until all Order Forms entered into hereunder have terminated or expired pursuant to the terms hereof and subject to Sections 9.3 and 9.4 below.

9.2 Term of Subscriptions. Unless the relevant Order Forms and/or this Agreement are earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement, subscriptions to the Braze Services commence on the Order Form start date and continue for the Subscription Term. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, subscriptions shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring Subscription Term, unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the relevant Subscription Term. In the event a Subscription Term automatically renews, Braze reserves the right to increase the fees on renewal by giving Customer at least sixty (60) days’ notice of such price increase; provided, however, that any such price increase shall not exceed 7% above the price that was in effect for the same products and services in the immediately preceding term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume for any Braze Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.

9.3 Continued Use. In the absence of automatic renewal or a signed renewal Order Form, upon expiration of the applicable Order Form, Braze will cease providing the applicable Braze Services to Customer. In the event that the parties are negotiating renewal in good faith, Braze may, for a limited period of time, allow Customer to continue to use the Braze Services hereunder beyond the expiration of such Order Form, and Customer agrees: (i) to pay for such use of the Braze Services in an amount equal to the fees in effect immediately prior to such expiration (entitlements and fees prorated for such period), and (ii) that Braze will cease providing the Braze Services at the end of such period if Customer has not signed a new Order Form.

9.4 Termination for Cause. A party may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) hereunder and/or this Agreement for cause: (a) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party of a material breach by the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (b) subject to applicable law, immediately if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. If Customer terminates this Agreement for cause as described herein, Braze shall refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the date of termination, net of any amounts still owed to Braze. In any event, Customer shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Braze prior to the effective date of termination. If Braze terminates this Agreement for cause as described herein, Customer shall remain obligated to pay all fees owed for the remainder of the Subscription Term.

9.5 Customer Data Deletion. Braze shall enable Customer to export its Customer Data at any time during the term of this Agreement. In order to provide Customer with accurate analytical data and optimal performance of the Braze Services, Customer hereby instructs Braze to remove unused or unusable Customer Data in accordance with the Braze data retention policy set forth in the Documentation. Following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Braze shall terminate provision of the Braze Services to Customer and shall delete or securely overwrite Customer Data, in accordance with this Agreement, applicable laws and the Documentation.

From time to time, Braze may invite Customer to try Beta Services. Customer may accept or decline any such trial in its sole discretion.

Beta Services are not considered “Braze Services” under this Agreement, except that (i) Customer’s obligations under Sections titled “Braze Services”, ”Proprietary Rights”, “Confidentiality”, and “Export Control and Sanctions Compliance” shall also apply to its use of the Beta Services and (ii) personal data submitted to the Beta Services shall be processed in accordance with the DPA. Beta Services are not supported and are not subject to any service level agreements agreed upon between the parties. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available. Braze may discontinue Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available. To the extent permitted by law, Braze shall have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Service.

10.4 Export Control and Sanctions Compliance. The Braze Services, the Braze SDK and any derivatives thereof may be subject to export control and sanctions laws of the United States and other applicable government authorities. Customer will comply with and ensure that its Users are in compliance with such laws, including without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and U.S. sanctions (the “Export Control and Sanctions Laws”). Customer will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, transship, transfer, divert or otherwise dispose of any Braze products or related technology, or use or allow access or use of the Braze Services: (i) to or by any User, individual, entity, or country prohibited by the Export Control and Sanctions Laws, including, without limitation, the prohibition against exports (A) into, or to a national or resident of, any country subject to U.S. sanctions or similar export restrictions (currently, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea and the regions of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk in Ukraine), or (B) to or by anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List or Entity List, or other export control lists; or (ii) for any purpose prohibited by the Export Control and Sanctions Laws, including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons proliferation or development of missile technology. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that it and its Users comply with the Export Control and Sanctions Laws with regard to the use of Braze Services or the Braze SDK. Any use of the Braze Services or the Braze SDK by Customer or its Users that, in Braze’s reasonable judgment, is unlawful may result in immediate suspension or termination of the Braze Services. Braze will have no liability for any such suspension made in good faith.

10.5 Anti-Corruption. Neither party has received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift or thing of value from an employee or agent of the other party in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If Customer learns of any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section or Section 10.4, it will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Braze’s Legal Department at [email protected] with email subject (in English) “Braze violation of anti-corruption obligations.”

10.6 Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be sent in writing via mail or email. Notices of termination or of an indemnifiable claim (“Legal Notices”) shall be identified as Legal Notices.

All other notices to Customer will be addressed to the relevant Braze Services system administrator or any other appropriate contact designated by Customer.

10.7 Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right. Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a party at law or in equity.

10.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

10.9 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without consent of the other party, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other party. Any attempt by a party to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in breach of this Section shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. The state and federal courts located in the State of New York, District of Manhattan, New York City, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each party also waives any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement.

If Customer’s account is 30 days or more overdue, Braze may, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, upon written notice, suspend Customer’s access to the Braze Services and provision of any associated services until such amounts are paid in full. If Customer’s account is 60 days or more overdue, with prior written notice, Braze may terminate this Agreement and any or all outstanding Order Forms and Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of any prepaid fees, but shall remain obligated to pay unpaid fees owed, even if not yet invoiced, including any overages to entitlements, all as set forth on Customer's Order Forms.

3.4 Payment Disputes. Braze shall not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Payments” section above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

If Braze has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides Braze with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. For clarity, Braze is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
4.1 Reservation of Rights. As between Braze and Customer, Customer exclusively owns all rights, title and interest in and to all Customer Data.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both parties, the pricing and other terms reflected in all Order Forms hereunder are the Confidential Information of Braze, and the Customer Data is the Confidential Information of Customer. Confidential Information (except for Customer Data) shall not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party or any third party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party; or (iv) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.

5.2 Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) (i) to not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents (“Representatives”) who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who are subject to written confidentiality obligations with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, in confidence, to a potential purchaser of or successor to any portion of such party’s business resulting from the reorganization, spin-off, or sale of all or a portion of all of the assets of any business, division, or group of such party, and Braze may disclose the terms of this Agreement to Customer’s Affiliates in connection with the procurement of the Braze Services by such Affiliates. Receiving Party shall be liable for any breach of this Section 5 by its Representatives. Other than as otherwise provided herein, neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Representatives without the other party’s prior written consent.

5.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

5.4 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) or fails to limit access to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

9.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until all Order Forms entered into hereunder have terminated or expired pursuant to the terms hereof and subject to Sections 9.3 and 9.4 below.

9.2 Term of Subscriptions. Unless the relevant Order Forms and/or this Agreement are earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement, subscriptions to the Braze Services commence on the Order Form start date and continue for the Subscription Term. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, subscriptions shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring Subscription Term, unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the relevant Subscription Term. In the event a Subscription Term automatically renews, Braze reserves the right to increase the fees on renewal by giving Customer at least sixty (60) days’ notice of such price increase; provided, however, that any such price increase shall not exceed 7% above the price that was in effect for the same products and services in the immediately preceding term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume for any Braze Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.

9.3 Continued Use. In the absence of automatic renewal or a signed renewal Order Form, upon expiration of the applicable Order Form, Braze will cease providing the applicable Braze Services to Customer. In the event that the parties are negotiating renewal in good faith, Braze may, for a limited period of time, allow Customer to continue to use the Braze Services hereunder beyond the expiration of such Order Form, and Customer agrees: (i) to pay for such use of the Braze Services in an amount equal to the fees in effect immediately prior to such expiration (entitlements and fees prorated for such period), and (ii) that Braze will cease providing the Braze Services at the end of such period if Customer has not signed a new Order Form.

9.4 Termination for Cause. A party may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) hereunder and/or this Agreement for cause: (a) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party of a material breach by the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (b) subject to applicable law, immediately if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. If Customer terminates this Agreement for cause as described herein, Braze shall refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the date of termination, net of any amounts still owed to Braze. In any event, Customer shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Braze prior to the effective date of termination. If Braze terminates this Agreement for cause as described herein, Customer shall remain obligated to pay all fees owed for the remainder of the Subscription Term.

9.5 Customer Data Deletion. Braze shall enable Customer to export its Customer Data at any time during the term of this Agreement. In order to provide Customer with accurate analytical data and optimal performance of the Braze Services, Customer hereby instructs Braze to remove unused or unusable Customer Data in accordance with the Braze data retention policy set forth in the Documentation. Following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Braze shall terminate provision of the Braze Services to Customer and shall delete or securely overwrite Customer Data, in accordance with this Agreement, applicable laws and the Documentation.

9.6 Surviving Provisions. Section 1 and Sections 3 through 10 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

10.1 Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the parties.

10.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

10.3 Beta Services. “Beta Services” shall mean the services (i) provided by Braze that are not generally available to customers, and (ii) that are clearly designated as beta, pilot, developer preview, evaluation, or by a description of similar import. From time to time, Braze may invite Customer to try Beta Services. Customer may accept or decline any such trial in its sole discretion. Beta Services are for evaluation purposes and may be subject to additional terms. Beta Services are not considered “Braze Services” under this Agreement, except that (i) Customer’s obligations under Sections titled “Braze Services”, ”Proprietary Rights”, “Confidentiality”, and “Export Control and Sanctions Compliance” shall also apply to its use of the Beta Services and (ii) Personal Data submitted to the Beta Services shall be processed in accordance with the DPA. Beta Services are not supported and are not subject to any service level agreements agreed upon between the parties. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available. Braze may discontinue Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available. To the extent permitted by law, Braze shall have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Service.

10.4 Export Control and Sanctions Compliance. The Braze Services, the Braze SDK and any derivatives thereof may be subject to export control and sanctions laws of the United States and other applicable government authorities. Customer will comply with and ensure that its Users are in compliance with such laws, including without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and U.S. sanctions (the “Export Control and Sanctions Laws”). Customer will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, transship, transfer, divert or otherwise dispose of any Braze products or related technology, or use or allow access or use of the Braze Services: (i) to or by any User, individual, entity, or country prohibited by the Export Control and Sanctions Laws, including, without limitation, the prohibition against exports (A) into, or to a national or resident of, any country subject to U.S. sanctions or similar export restrictions (currently, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea and the regions of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk in Ukraine), or (B) to or by anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List or Entity List, or other export control lists; or (ii) for any purpose prohibited by the Export Control and Sanctions Laws, including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons proliferation or development of missile technology. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that it and its Users comply with the Export Control and Sanctions Laws with regard to the use of Braze Services or the Braze SDK. Any use of the Braze Services or the Braze SDK by Customer or its Users that, in Braze’s reasonable judgment, is unlawful may result in immediate suspension of the Braze Services. Braze will have no liability for any such suspension made in good faith.

10.5 Anti-Corruption. Neither party has received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift or thing of value from an employee or agent of the other party in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If Customer learns of any violation of the above restrictions, it will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Braze’s Legal Department at [email protected] with email subject (in English) “Braze violation of anti-corruption obligations.”

10.6 Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be sent in writing via mail or email. Notices of termination or of an indemnifiable claim (“Legal Notices”) shall be identified as Legal Notices. Legal Notices to Braze shall be addressed to the attention of its General Counsel at [email protected] with email subject (in English) “Legal Notice”. Legal Notices to Customer shall be addressed to the attention of its legal department. Billing-related notices to Customer shall be addressed to the relevant billing contact designated by Customer. All other notices to Customer will be addressed to the relevant Braze Services system administrator or any other appropriate contact designated by Customer.

10.7 Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right. Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a party at law or in equity.

10.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

10.9 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without consent of the other party, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other party. Any attempt by a party to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in breach of this Section shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.


10.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. The state and federal courts located in the State of New York, District of Manhattan, New York City, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each party also waives any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement.

10.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding Customer’s use of the Braze Services or Braze SDK, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation (excluding Order Forms) is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form, (2) any exhibit, schedule or addendum to this Agreement, and (3) the body of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be language chosen by both parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction against either party shall apply to rights granted herein or to any term or condition of this Agreement.

5.4 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) or fails to limit access to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, subscriptions shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring Subscription Term, unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the relevant Subscription Term.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both parties, the pricing and other terms reflected in all Order Forms hereunder are the Confidential Information of Braze, and the Customer Data is the Confidential Information of Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, in confidence, to a potential purchaser of or successor to any portion of such party’s business resulting from the reorganization, spin-off, or sale of all or a portion of all of the assets of any business, division, or group of such party, and Braze may disclose the terms of this Agreement to Customer’s Affiliates in connection with the procurement of the Braze Services by such Affiliates.

Receiving Party shall be liable for any breach of this Section 5 by its Representatives. Other than as otherwise provided herein, neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Representatives without the other party’s prior written consent.

5.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

5.4 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) or fails to limit access to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, subscriptions shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring Subscription Term, unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the relevant Subscription Term. Braze reserves the right to increase the fees on renewal by giving Customer at least sixty (60) days’ notice of such price increase; provided, however, that any such price increase shall not exceed 7% above the price that was in effect for the same products and services in the immediately preceding term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume for any Braze Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.

9.3 Continued Use. In the absence of automatic renewal or a signed renewal Order Form, upon expiration of the applicable Order Form, Braze will cease providing the applicable Braze Services to Customer.

9.4 Termination for Cause. A party may terminate this Agreement and all Order Forms hereunder for cause: (a) upon 30 days’ written notice to the other party of a material breach by the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (b) immediately if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. If Customer terminates this Agreement for cause as described herein, Braze shall refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the date of termination, net of any amounts still owed to Braze. In any event, Customer shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Braze prior to the effective date of termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, in confidence, to a potential purchaser of or successor to any portion of such party’s business resulting from the reorganization, spin-off, or sale of all or a portion of all of the assets of any business, division, or group of such party. Confidential Information (except for Customer Data) shall not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.

6.2 Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) (i) to not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates and their legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent.

6.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

6.4 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.
