The term “Confidential Information” also includes notes, materials, applications, drafts, or documents pertaining to prospective intellectual property protections not otherwise available to the public, including, but not limited to, the following forms of intellectual property: patents, trademarks, copyright, and the right of publicity. To the extent User can demonstrate by competent written proof, “Confidential Information” does not include information that (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the User, generally known or available, (ii) is known to the User prior to disclosure pursuant hereto as evidenced by its records, and/or (iii) is hereafter furnished to the User by a third party, as a matter of right (i.e., absent direct or indirect solicitation and/or circumvention in breach of these Terms of Use) and without any restriction on disclosure.
Treatment of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, User shall hold in confidence and shall not disclose, reproduce, publish, distribute, transmit, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or transfer, directly or indirectly, in any form, by any means, or for any purpose, or attempt any of the foregoing, the Confidential Information of the Company or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, User may disclose the Confidential Information to its attorneys or other professional representatives, provided the User shall have instructed each such attorney or other professional representative as a condition to the receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the terms of these Terms of Use to the same extent as if they were parties hereto, or in the case of any professional representative, that such professional representative shall either be legally bound to comply with the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use or shall have so obligated itself in writing to be bound by the terms hereof.
Duty to Exercise Reasonable Care. User shall:
1. exercise reasonable care, but in no event less care than it uses to protect its own proprietary information, to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information to any third party; and

Compelled Disclosure. If the User is required by law or ordered by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction to disclose any of the Company’s Confidential Information, User shall immediately notify Company.

The User shall notify the Company immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, use of Confidential Information other than in pursuance of the purpose of the disclosure, or any other breach of these Terms of Use. The User will cooperate with the Company in every reasonable way to help the Company regain possession of its Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized uses or disclosures of the Confidential Information.
Period of Confidentiality.

Equitable Relief. User recognizes that, in the event the User fails to perform, observe, or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under these Terms of Use, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Company; therefore, Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.
