As between you and Provider, you exclusively own and reserve all right, title and interest in and to your Confidential Information.
  2. "Confidential Information" means any information or data, regardless of whether it is in tangible form, disclosed by either party that is marked or otherwise designated as confidential or proprietary or that should otherwise be reasonably understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances surrounding disclosure. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party on a need-to-know basis to its contractors who are subject to confidentiality agreements requiring them to maintain such information in confidence and use it only to facilitate the performance of their services on behalf of the receiving party.

Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was properly known to the receiving party, without restriction, prior to disclosure by the disclosing party; (c) was properly disclosed to the receiving party, without restriction, by another person without violation of the disclosing party's rights; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the disclosing party.

Each party may disclose the existence of a separate SaaS Agreement executed by the parties and the relationship of the parties, but agrees that the specific terms of the executed SaaS Agreement will be treated as Confidential Information; provided, however, that each party may disclose the terms of SaaS Agreement to those with a need to know and under a duty of confidentiality such as accountants, lawyers, bankers and investors.
  5. The receiving party shall use at least the same degree of care with respect to the Confidential Information of the other party, but not less than a reasonable degree of care, it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party. Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any actual or suspected misuse or unauthorized disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information.
  6. Parties may enter into a separate written Non-Disclosure Agreement or incorporate its provisions in whole or in part in a separate SaaS Agreement, which may stipulate additional rights and obligations with respect to the Confidential Information and the provided SaaS Services.
