Proprietary rights
Confidentiality
- Confidential information
- Unauthorized disclosure
"Confidential Information", shall mean the Software, Documentation, Specifications, and terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information and agrees that it shall not reveal or disclose any Confidential Information for any purpose to any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, other than Licensee's employees with a need to know such Confidential Information to perform employment responsibilities consistent with Licensee's rights under this Agreement. Licensee shall safeguard and protect the Confidential Information from theft, piracy or unauthorized access in a manner at least consistent with the protections Licensee uses to protect its own most confidential information. Licensee shall inform its employees of their obligations under this Agreement, and shall take such steps as may be reasonable in the circumstances, or as may be reasonably requested by Licensor, to prevent any unauthorized disclosure, copying or use of the Confidential Information. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the Licensee's breach of this Agreement, Licensor will suffer irreparable injuries not compensated by money damages and therefore shall not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Licensor shall be entitled to a preliminary and final injunction without the necessity of posting any bond or undertaking in connection therewith to prevent any further breach of these confidentiality obligations or further unauthorized use of Confidential Information. This remedy is separate and apart from any other remedy Licensor may have.
