  1. CONFIDENTIALITY
    • Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means information disclosed by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Recipient”) that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be considered confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Ezassi includes the Services, System, and Documentation; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement, business information, and all Statements of Work (including pricing). Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is already known to the Recipient without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt of such information from the Disclosing Party; (b) is or becomes generally known by the public other than by breach of this Agreement by, or other wrongful act of, the Recipient; (c) is developed by the Recipient independently of, and without reference to, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (d) is received by the Recipient from a third party who is not under any obligation to the Disclosing Party to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
    • Requirement of Confidentiality. The Recipient agrees that it will use the same degree of care it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to: (a) not disclose or otherwise make available Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, provided that the Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to its, and its affiliates’, officers, employees, consultants and legal advisors who have a “need to know,” who have been apprised of this restriction and who are themselves bound by nondisclosure obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 7; and (b) use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only for the purposes of performing its obligations or as otherwise authorized under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ezassi may disclose the terms of this Agreement to a subcontractor to the extent necessary to perform Ezassi’s obligations to Client under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein. The Recipient will promptly notify the Disclosing Party in the event it becomes aware of any loss or disclosure of any of the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party. The obligations in this Section 7 will survive termination and continue for so long as the applicable information constitutes Confidential Information.
    • Compelled Disclosure. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Recipient gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
    • Use of Knowledge. Ezassi may use and disclose non-identifying usage data; knowledge gained, information and suggestions provided by Client, as the foregoing relates to Ezassi’s System, software, business processes or documentation.
    • Identification of Parties. Ezassi may identify Client as its customer and use Client’s name and logos to the extent necessary to provide Client the services under this Agreement. In addition, all or part of the Ezassi System for Client, and particularly the Ezassi hosted software platform for Client, may include a small visible banner link that reads “Powered by Ezassi”. Client will share business value metrics associated with this solution with Ezassi. Ezassi may use such metrics, provided that Ezassi does not reveal Client as the source of any metrics and that Ezassi does not disclose any Client-specific company information associated with business value metrics.
