Neither party shall, without the other party’s prior written consent, disclose, provide, or make available any of the Proprietary Information of the other party in any form to any person, except to its bona fide employees, officers, or directors whose access is necessary to enable such party to exercise its rights hereunder. Each party agrees to take all reasonable steps and the same protective precautions to protect the Proprietary Information of the other party from disclosure to third parties as with its own proprietary and confidential information.
- The obligations of confidentiality imposed shall not apply with respect to any alleged Proprietary Information which: (a) is known to the recipient thereof prior to receipt thereof from the other party hereto; (b) is disclosed to said recipient by a third party who has the contractual right to make such disclosure; (c) is or becomes a part of the public domain or public knowledge through no fault of said recipient; (d) is independently developed by the recipient without reference to the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information; or (e) is required to be disclosed under operation of Law, as long as the party affected has the opportunity to apply to the applicable legal entity for a protective order.
- Each party will use the same degree of care to protect the other’s Proprietary Information as it uses to protect its own Proprietary Information of like nature, but in no circumstances less than reasonable care. In accordance with applicable Laws, Demand IQ shall implement appropriate physical, organizational, and technological measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of Client Data in its possession from time to time. Each party will take appropriate action to address incidents of unauthorized access to the other’s Proprietary Information, including promptly notifying the other of the unauthorized access. Upon the expiration or termination of the Agreement, or on completion of a party’s obligations under the Agreement, each party shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to return, or destroy, or cause to be returned or destroyed, in a prompt manner, all materials in any medium that contain, refer or relate to the Proprietary Information of the other party.
10. INDEMNIFICATION.
- Demand IQ shall at Demand IQ’s expense defend, indemnify and hold Client and its affiliates, employees, officers and directors harmless from and against any liability, loss or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim, suit, or proceeding brought by a third party (“Claim”) against Client or its officers, directors or employees contending that Client’s use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement infringes any valid intellectual property right of a third party, and Demand IQ shall pay all damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to by Demand IQ in settlement of the Claim. In the event that the Services or any part thereof becomes – or, in Demand IQ’s sole opinion, is likely to become the subject of an infringement-related Claim: (a) Demand IQ may at its option and expense procure for Client the right to continue using the Services, or modify the Services to make it non infringing; or (b) if Section 10.1(a) is not commercially reasonable, then Demand IQ may terminate this Agreement and all Order Forms with notice to Client, and Demand IQ will provide Client with a refund of any pre-paid fees for the unexpired portion of the remaining term of the Order Form. Demand IQ shall have no liability for any Claim or demand arising from: (i) an allegation that does not state with specificity that the Services is the basis of the Claims; (ii) the use or combination of the Services or deliverable or any part thereof with software, hardware, or other materials not developed by Demand IQ, if the Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (iii) modification of the Services by a party other than Demand IQ, if the use of unmodified Services would not constitute infringement; (iv) a breach by Client of any obligation under this Agreement, or a use of the Services by Client in a manner outside the scope of any right granted herein or not in accordance with this Agreement, if the claim would not have arisen but for such breach or unauthorized use; (v) an allegation made against Client arising out of or related to any Client Data or Third Party Content; or (vi) an allegation made against Client prior to the execution of this Agreement or any allegation based upon any action by Client prior to the execution of this Agreement. The foregoing states Demand IQ’s entire liability and Client’s exclusive remedy for intellectual property rights infringement.
- Client Indemnity. Client shall at Client’s expense defend, indemnify and hold Demand IQ, its affiliates, employees, officers, and directors harmless from and against any liability, loss, or damage (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any Claim: (i) arising out of or related to any Client Data or Third Party Content, including without limitation any claim that any Client Data or Third Party Content infringes the intellectual property right of, or has otherwise harmed, a third party; (ii) arising in connection with any third party product or service or any Third Party Agreement; (iii) based upon Client’s use or receipt of any Services or not in accordance with the terms hereof, or otherwise in breach of this Agreement; (iv) arising out of Client’s negligent or more culpable acts or omissions; or (v) based on any failure or alleged failure of the Client to comply with any applicable Law in connection with its use of the Services, including without limitation any data privacy and security laws.
- Indemnification Process. The foregoing indemnification obligations are conditioned on the indemnified party: (a) notifying the indemnifying party promptly in writing of each Claim; (b) reasonably cooperating and assisting in the defense of each Claim at the indemnifying party’s expense; and (c) giving sole control of the defense and any related settlement negotiations to the indemnifying party; provided, that the indemnifying party may not settle any claim that imposes any duty on or diminishes any right of the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent.
