Confidentiality

“Confidential Information” means the information that we designate as confidential at the time of disclosure or that should reasonably be understood to be our confidential information, including all of our business information. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no act or omission by you or breach by you of this Agreement; (ii) at the time of disclosure by us, was lawfully received by you from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to us or the source of such information; or (iii) was or is independently developed by you without the use of or reference to the Confidential Information. Confidential Information disclosed before you accepted this Agreement will be subject to this Section 12.

You may disclose Confidential Information to comply with applicable law, provided that you give us prior notice of the compelled disclosure or legal proceeding (to the extent permitted by law) and reasonable assistance to and cooperation with us, at our cost, if we desire to contest the disclosure. You and we agree that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of the obligations in this Section 12 and that any such breach would result in irreparable harm to us. Therefore, in the event of any such actual or threatened breach, we will be entitled, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us at law or equity, to seek specific performance or injunctive relief without the posting of a bond.
