5.1 Definition.
The term “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential or proprietary business, technical or financial information or materials of a party or any of its affiliates (“Disclosing Party”) provided to the other party or any of its affiliates (“Receiving Party”) in connection with the Agreement, whether orally or in physical form, and shall include the terms of the Agreement. However, Confidential Information shall not include information (a) previously known by Receiving Party without an obligation of confidentiality, (b) acquired by Receiving Party from a third party which was not, to Receiving Party’s knowledge, under an obligation of confidentiality, (c) that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Receiving Party, or (d) that Disclosing Party gave written permission to Receiving Party to disclose, but only to the extent of such permitted disclosure.
5.2 Requirements.
Except as required by applicable law, each Receiving Party agrees that (a) it will use Confidential Information of Disclosing Party solely for the purpose of the Agreement and (b) it will not disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party other than the Receiving Party’s employees or agents, on a need-to-know basis, who are bound by obligations of nondisclosure and restricted use at least as strict as those contained herein, provided that Receiving Party remains liable for any breach of the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement by its employees or agents. The Receiving Party will protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information, but in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care. In the event Receiving Party receives a subpoena or other administrative or judicial demand for any Confidential Information of Disclosing Party, Receiving Party will give Disclosing Party prompt written notice of such subpoena or demand and allow Disclosing Party to assert any available defenses to disclosure. Upon request by Disclosing Party, Receiving Party will return or destroy all copies of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information will at all times remain the property of the Disclosing Party. The provisions of this Section 5.2 will expire three (3) years after the expiration or termination of the Agreement, except with respect to Confidential Information that constitutes “trade secrets” under applicable law for which this Section 5 shall survive indefinitely.

Except as may be set forth on the Cover Sheet, each party (or its applicable affiliates) shall own, and shall not be required to share, any Data that it maintains or collects with respect to the Agreement. A party’s Data shall be deemed the Confidential Information of such party.

Upon a party’s request, the other party shall provide evidence of the insurance required herein. In no event shall the limits of any policy be considered as limiting the liability of a party under the Agreement.
