The Parties wish to engage in business relationship for the supply and use of cloud service (the “Designated Purpose”).

This NDA is intended to allow the Parties to continue to pursue the Designated Purpose while protecting each party’s Confidential Information (including Confidential Information previously disclosed to the other Party) against unauthorized use or disclosure.

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this NDA shall have the meaning set forth below:

  • “Affiliate” means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person or entity, where “control” means the right to control or actual control of management of such entity, whether by ownership of voting securities, by agreement, or otherwise.

The Discloser agrees to use reasonable efforts to summarize in writing the content of any oral disclosure or other non-tangible disclosure that is proprietary or confidential to the Recipient within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after the disclosure. However, failure to provide such summary will not affect the qualification of the Discloser’s Confidential Information as such if the Confidential Information was identified as confidential or proprietary when disclosed orally or in any other non-tangible form.
  • “Representatives” means, in respect of any Party, such Party's Affiliates, its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors (including financial advisors and legal counsel), and any institutional lender to such Party and the directors, officers and employees of any such agent, advisor or lender.

  • (b) Recipient and its Representatives must take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure or use of Discloser’s Confidential Information to prevent it from falling into the public domain or the possession of persons other than those authorized under this NDA to have this information. Such measures shall include, but not be limited to, the highest degree of care that the Recipient utilizes to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, which shall be no less than reasonable care. Recipient must notify Discloser of any actual or suspected misuse, misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of Discloser’s Confidential Information, which may come to Recipient’s attention. Recipient will be responsible for all breaches of the terms of this NDA by its Representatives.
3. Exclusions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this NDA, Recipient shall have no liability to Discloser concerning any Confidential Information that Recipient can demonstrate:

4. Specific Excluded Use

Unless otherwise permitted in writing by Discloser, neither Recipient nor its Representatives shall make any attempt to reverse compile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer all or any part of any Confidential Information disclosed. Neither Recipient nor its Representatives shall make any attempt to copy, reproduce, modify, adapt or translate the Confidential Information in order to develop, create, evaluate, or modify a product which is in any way competitive with any current software products and/or cloud services marketed by the Discloser.

5. Return of Materials

Within ten (10) days of the written request of Discloser, or after the Parties have either conclusively achieved or not achieved the Designated Purpose and, in the latter case, if the Parties have not agreed otherwise, Recipient shall:

  • (i) return any Confidential Information that has been furnished by Discloser to Recipient and/or its Representatives in connection with the Designated Purpose either in its possession, or that of Recipient’s Representatives or approved third parties, accompanied by all copies thereof made by Recipient and/or its Representatives; or

11. Remedies

Each Party acknowledges that: (i) its obligations set forth in this NDA are necessary and reasonable in order to protect Discloser and its business, (ii) due to the unique nature of Provider’s Confidential Information, monetary damages may not alone be sufficient to compensate Discloser for any breach by the Customer of its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) any violation or threatened violation may cause irreparable injury to the Provider.
