During the Subscription Period, each party may disclose to the other certain nonpublic or proprietary information or materials relating to a party’s products, technology, business or marketing, which it wishes the other party to treat as confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes all such information marked as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” at the time of disclosure, or if disclosed orally, its confidential nature is confirmed in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of disclosure. Customer agrees that notwithstanding any failure to so specify, FieldEdge Service, Documentation and the terms and conditions (but not the existence) of this agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of FieldEdge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include, and nothing in this Agreement will prohibit or limit either party’s use of, information (including but not limited to ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, and methodologies) that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach by the receiving party of this Agreement; (b) was previously known to the receiving party prior to disclosure, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records; or (c) was acquired from a third party with no breach of any obligation of confidentiality.

Except as provided, the receiving party will not use or disclose any Confidential Information without the disclosing party’s prior written consent, except to the receiving party’s employees or consultants on a need-to-know basis, provided that such employees or consultants have executed written agreements restricting use or disclosure of such Confidential Information at least as restrictive as the receiving party’s obligations under this Section 8. Besides the foregoing nondisclosure obligations, the receiving party agrees to use at least the same care and precaution in protecting such Confidential Information as the receiving party uses to protect the receiving party’s own confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets, and in no event less than reasonable care. The receiving party will return all Confidential Information promptly upon the request of the disclosing party or upon termination of this agreement.

7.3. Equitable Remedy. Each party acknowledges that due to the unique nature of the other party’s Confidential Information, the disclosing party will not have an adequate remedy in money or damages if any unauthorized use occurs or disclosure of its Confidential Information.

FieldEdge’s total liability under this agreement or for breach thereof, will not exceed the total amounts paid to FieldEdge during the twelve (12) months prior to the date such claim arises. The foregoing limitations will apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy, but will not limit liability for death or bodily injury.

10.4. Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this agreement for any reason, all licenses granted under this agreement shall terminate immediately and Customer shall no longer have access to the FieldEdge Service.
