  • Customer lists and pricing information

  • Product roadmaps and development plans

  • For Customer: Customer Data

17.2 Obligations

The Receiving Party shall:

  • Use Confidential Information only for purposes of these Terms

  • Protect Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care as for its own confidential information (but no less than reasonable care)

  • Limit disclosure to employees and contractors with a need to know who are bound by confidentiality obligations

  • Not disclose Confidential Information to third parties without prior written consent

17.3 Exceptions

Confidential Information does not include information that:

  • Is or becomes publicly available through no breach by Receiving Party

  • Was rightfully known to Receiving Party before disclosure

  • Is rightfully received from a third party without confidentiality restrictions

  • Is independently developed by Receiving Party without use of Confidential Information

  • Must be disclosed pursuant to law or court order (with prompt notice to Disclosing Party where permitted)

Confidentiality obligations survive termination for five (5) years, except that trade secrets remain confidential for so long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law.


18. GENERAL PROVISIONS

18.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, and be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Court Jurisdiction: If neither party elects arbitration, disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

18.3 Dispute Resolution - Enterprise Plans (Over $10,000)

For Enterprise Plans with annual contract value of $10,000 or more:
