All Confidential Information relating to or obtained from User or User’s Agent, on the one hand, or U Scope Technologies, on the other hand (“Discloser”) will be held in strict confidence by the party receiving it (“Recipient”) to the same extent and in at least the same manner as the Recipient protects its own confidential information (and in no event with less than reasonable care). No Recipient will disclose, publish, release, transfer or otherwise make available Confidential Information of, or obtained from, the Discloser in any form to, or for the use or benefit of, any person or entity without the Discloser’s consent. No Recipient will use the Discloser’s Confidential Information except for purposes of fulfilling its obligations and enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Recipient may, however, disclose relevant aspects of the Discloser’s Confidential Information to Recipient’s officers, directors, agents, professional advisors (collectively, “agents”), or to contractors, subcontractors and agents thereof (collectively, “Second Recipients”) to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of Recipient’s duties and obligations or the determination, preservation or exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) the Second Recipient is advised by Recipient in writing of the obligations under this Agreement, (b) the Second Recipient agrees in writing in form acceptable to the Discloser to comply with such obligations, and further provided that Recipient remains responsible for enforcement of the obligations under this Agreement with respect to Second Recipient. Nothing in this Agreement limits the ability of a Recipient or Second Recipient in possession of the Confidential Information of the Discloser from disclosing such Confidential Information, and the Recipient or Second Recipient will have no liability for such disclosure, to the extent such disclosure:
- is required to be made pursuant to Law, government authority, duly authorized subpoena or court order, whereupon the Recipient or Second Recipient will provide prompt notice to the Discloser and give Discloser an opportunity to respond prior to such disclosure;
- is made to a court or other tribunal in connection with the enforcement of the Recipient’s or Second Recipient’s rights under this Agreement; or
- is approved by the Discloser.

- cooperate with the Discloser, in any litigation and investigation against third parties reasonably deemed necessary by the Discloser to protect its proprietary rights (provided that the foregoing shall not be construed as requiring Recipient to waive its rights with respect to attorney-client privilege or under rules of procedure regarding discovery, nor as to waiving objections Recipient may have as to the extent of Discloser’s proprietary rights); and
- promptly use its best efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use or knowledge, or attempt thereof, of Discloser’s Confidential Information.
