1. Confidentiality

For the purpose of these Terms and Conditions “Disclosing Party” means a party, including its Affiliates, whose employees, agents or consultants have disclosed the Confidential Information, and “Receiving Party” means the party, including its Affiliates, whose employees, agents or consultants have received the Confidential Information.

“Confidential Information” means non-public information that a party designates as being proprietary or confidential or which by its nature or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure reasonably ought to be treated as confidential.  Confidential Information includes, without limitation and in whatever format, information relating to the Disclosing Party’s software products, source code, API data files, documentation, specifications, databases, networks, system design, file layouts, tool combinations, development methods, consulting methodologies, user manuals and documentation, training materials (computer-based or otherwise), schema, flow charts, prototypes and evaluation copies of any of the foregoing, as well as information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business or financial affairs, which may include business methods, internal policies and rules, marketing strategies, pricing, competitor information, product development strategies and methods, customer lists and customer information and financial results. 

Confidential Information shall not include any information that: 

(a) is known by the Receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential; 

(b) is at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, publicly available through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; 

(c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without relying on or referring to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or 

(d) is approved for release by prior written authorization of the Disclosing Party.

The Receiving Party and its affiliates may disclose the Confidential Information only to those of their employees, agents or consultants with a need-to-know to accomplish the Purpose. The Receiving Party shall advise such persons of their obligations under these Terms and Conditions with respect to Confidential Information, and ensure that they are bound by non-disclosure obligations no less stringent than those imposed in these Terms and Conditions. The Receiving Party shall be liable to the Disclosing Party for any improper disclosure or use of Confidential Information made by such persons and its Affiliates to the same extent as if the Receiving Party itself had made such improper disclosure or use.  

The Receiving Party shall:

(a) use all reasonable measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination or unauthorized use of Confidential Information, including, at a minimum, those measures it takes to protect its own Confidential Information; 

(b) at all times, including after termination of these Terms and Conditions, not disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party unless: (i) the Receiving Party has obtained written permission from the Disclosing Party; and (ii) the third party has signed a non-disclosure agreement containing terms that are no less stringent than those imposed in these Terms and Conditions;

(c) use the Confidential Information only as needed for the Purpose;

(d) not disclose, reproduce or use Confidential Information except as expressly permitted these Terms and Conditions; and

(e) not disassemble, de-compile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to recreate the Confidential Information without the Disclosing Party’s consent in writing, nor assist or allow a third party to do any of the foregoing.

The parties shall not directly or indirectly export or transmit any Confidential Information in violation of restrictions or rules imposed by Norway or any other country. Each party is aware, and will advise any person who is informed, as permitted by these Terms and Conditions, of a Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, of the restrictions imposed by the Norway securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities by any person who has received material, non-public information from the issuer of such securities and on the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information.

Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as granting or conferring rights by license or otherwise in any Confidential Information. The Disclosing Party owns and retains sole and exclusive right, title and interest to the Confidential Information it discloses, and any product developed thereof.  The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information, or any other breach of this Agreement by it, its Affiliates, or their employees, agents or consultants, and shall cooperate in every reasonable way to help the Disclosing Party re-gain possession of its Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure or use thereof. 

All Confidential Information is provided “AS IS” and without warranty, whether expressed or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness.

If a Receiving Party is requested or required, pursuant to a legal or administrative process, to disclose any Confidential Information supplied by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will, to the extent permitted by law, use all reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Disclosing Party so that the Disclosing Party may seek any appropriate protective order and/or other available remedies to prevent or limit disclosure.  If in the absence of a protective order or receipt of a waiver hereunder, and in the judgment of its counsel the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall use all reasonable efforts, to the extent allowed by law, to inform the Disclosing Party as far as practicable in advance of such disclosure.

The parties agree that the breach of any term, covenant or provision of these Terms and Conditions may cause irreparable harm to the other party and, accordingly, upon the breach by a party of any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions, the other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.  If either party employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of these Terms and Conditions, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees in addition to any other costs and damages to which it may be entitled.
