Confidentiality.
- Definition. “Confidential Information” means all information made available by you or us (a “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. The Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. Your Confidential Information includes Your Data, and our Confidential Information includes the Services, Curriculum and Content, provided that nothing in this Section 5 shall prohibit or limit us from using and disclosing Your Data in connection with providing the Services as contemplated in this Agreement, or prevent or limit you from using and disclosing Deliverables as permitted herein. In addition, this Section 5 imposes no obligation upon a Receiving Party with respect to Confidential Information that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
- Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in any event not less than a reasonable standard of care) and agrees (a) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (b) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its affiliates’ employees and authorized representatives (e.g., contract personnel, providers, counsel, accountants, consultants, and contractors) who need to know the Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement and agree to be bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those in this Section 5. The obligations in this Section 5 survive for three (3) years following expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
- Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable to the other party for indirect, consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages, including damages for lost profits or loss of business opportunities, arising out of, related to, or connected with, this Agreement or the Services, even if the party is apprised of the likelihood of such damages occurring.
