SECTION 5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

5.1      Definition of Confidential Information. Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), 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. Your Confidential Information includes Your Customer Data and Your Confidential Business Information; Our Confidential Information includes the Services, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that (a) was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) was or is obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party not known by the Receiving Party to be under an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; (c) is or becomes generally available to the public other than by violation of this Agreement or another valid agreement between the parties; or (d) was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this Section 5 apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional ZipDeal services.

Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel, and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel, or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s, or accountant’s compliance with this Section 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, We may disclose the terms of this Agreement to a subcontractor or Non-ZipDeal Service provider to the extent necessary to perform Our obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.

If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
