MailFrontier will indemnify, defend and hold Licensee harmless from damages, settlements, attorneys’ fees and expenses resulting from a third party claim that the Software or Service infringes any patent, trademark, or copyright arising under the laws of the United States, provided MailFrontier is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; MailFrontier will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. Should the Software or Service become, or be likely to become, in MailFrontier’s opinion, the subject of a claim of intellectual property infringement, MailFrontier may, at its option, procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Software or Service, or replace or modify it to make it non-infringing as soon as commercially reasonable. In addition, MailFrontier may request that Licensee immediately stop all copying, distribution, marketing and other use of the potentially infringing Software or Service.

The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to the Software or Service or portions thereof (i)not supplied by MailFrontier; (ii) modified after delivery by MailFrontier; (iii)combined with other products, where the alleged infringement relates to such combination; (iv)if Licensee continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement; or (v)if Licensee’s use of the Software or Service is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement. Licensee will indemnify MailFrontier for all damages, settlements, attorneys’ fees and expenses resulting from any claim of infringement or misappropriation not covered by MailFrontier’s indemnity obligation.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY. Both parties may, in connection with this Agreement, disclose to the other party Confidential Information.

Confidential Information, if disclosed or provided in tangible form, shall be clearly and conspicuously identified as confidential or proprietary, and if orally or visually disclosed, shall be identified as confidential or proprietary in nature at the time of disclosure. The receiving party shall protect the disclosing party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it regularly uses to protect its own Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Confidential Information shall not be provided or disclosed to anyone except those employees or contractors of the receiving party with a need to know under this Agreement. No rights or licenses under patents, trademarks or copyrights are granted or implied by any disclosure of Confidential Information. Confidential Information and any and all authorized copies thereof shall remain the property of the disclosing party and shall be destroyed or returned if requested by the disclosing party.

  • information that, at the time of disclosure to the receiving party, is in the public domain;
  • information that, after disclosure, becomes part of the public domain without restriction, except by breach of this Agreement;
  • information that was in the receiving party’s possession at the time of disclosure, and which was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the disclosing party;
  • information that the receiving party can demonstrate resulted from its own research and development, independent of disclosure from the disclosing party;
  • information that the receiving party receives from third parties, provided such information was not obtained by such third parties from the disclosing party on a confidential basis; or
