Each Party shall keep confidential and shall not use or disclose for any purpose, other than to exercise rights and perform responsibilities hereunder, any information disclosed by the other Party to such Party in connection with these Referral Partner Terms for a period of five (5) years from such disclosure, whether disclosed prior to, on, or after the Effective Date hereof, which is either marked as confidential (or words of similar import) or is of a nature or disclosed in such a manner as would put a reasonable person on notice as to the confidential or proprietary nature of the information (collectively “Confidential Information”). The foregoing obligations shall not apply to information that: (a) is publicly known at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes publicly known other than through a breach of this Section 8; (b) is lawfully received from a third party not subject to confidentiality terms with the disclosing Party with respect to such information; (c) was independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party, as established by the written records of the receiving Party, or (d) is required to be disclosed under a legal requirement, provided that, in the case of this subsection (d), the receiving Party shall: (i) give the disclosing Party reasonable written Notice prior to disclosure pursuant to such requirement (unless prohibited by such requirement); (ii) use diligent efforts to limit disclosure and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order and allow the disclosing Party to participate in the proceeding; and (iii) comply with any applicable protective order or equivalent.

Accordingly, the actual or threatened unauthorized disclosure or use of any Confidential Information shall give the disclosing Party the right to seek injunctive relief restraining such unauthorized disclosure or use, without the necessity of proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedy otherwise available to the disclosing Party. Upon termination of these Referral Partner Terms, or upon the disclosing Party’s written request, and subject to any contrary obligations under applicable law, the receiving Party shall, at the disclosing Party’s discretion, either return or destroy and erase from all systems it directly or indirectly uses or controls all originals and copies of all documents, materials and other embodiments and expressions in any form or medium that contain, reflect, incorporate, or are based on Confidential Information, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the above, a receiving Party is entitled to retain Confidential Information in its archival or backup systems in accordance with its document retention policies, provided that Confidential Information retained this way will remain subject to the confidentiality obligations in the Agreement throughout the period it is retained. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that any portion of the Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret of a Party as defined by the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act (a “Trade Secret”), the receiving Party’s obligations in connection therewith shall continue until in full force and effect until such Confidential Information no longer meets the definition of a Trade Secret through no fault of the receiving Party.
