Such information, which is originated by the disclosing party (the “Owner”) or is within the special knowledge of such party shall, if in documentary form and conspicuously marked “confidential” at the time of disclosure, be considered to be confidential and proprietary (“Confidential Information”). If such information is not marked and in documentary form when disclosed, but is thereafter reduced to a writing and forwarded to the other party within ten (10) days of the date of initial visual or oral disclosure and marked “confidential”, it shall, effective from the time of initial disclosure be considered (“Confidential Information”). Notwithstanding, however, the presence or absence of a marking as indicated above, Confidential Information shall include all information, regardless of the form in which it is transmitted, relating to the Owner’s (or another party whose information Owner has in its possession under obligations of confidentiality) past, present or future research, development or business plans, operations or systems (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, studies or reports, software, memoranda, drafts and other information in either tangible or intangible form).

Recipient shall use the same degree of care, but in no case less than reasonable care, to avoid disclosure of such Confidential Information as Recipient uses with respect to its own Confidential Information of like importance.
- Information shall not be deemed confidential or proprietary for purposes of this Agreement, and Recipient shall have no obligation with respect to any such information, which: (i) is already known to Recipient at the time of its disclosure; (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of Recipient; (iii) is received from a third party without similar restrictions and without breach of this Agreement; (iv) is independently developed by Recipient; or (v) is lawfully required to be disclosed to any government agency or is otherwise required to be disclosed by law.
- All Confidential Information disclosed by Owner to Recipient pursuant to this Agreement in tangible form (including, without limitation, information incorporated in computer software) shall be and remain in the property of Owner, and all such Confidential Information shall be promptly returned to Owner or certified as destroyed, as the Owner may so designate, upon written request.
- Neither party shall be liable for any errors or omissions in the Confidential Information or for the use or the results of use of Confidential Information. ANY AND ALL INFORMATION DISCLOSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND DISCLOSURE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE CONDITIONS AND/OR WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, PARTICULAR, SPECIFIC OR OTHERWISE.

- No Implied Waivers. If either party fails to require performance of any duty hereunder by the other party, such failure shall not affect its right to require performance of that or any other duty thereafter.

- Binding Effect: Assignment. Client shall not assign this Agreement without the express written consent of Datastreamer, in its sole discretion. Any assignment by Client of any rights under this Agreement without the express written consent of Datastreamer shall not be binding upon Datastreamer and shall not relieve Client from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. In the event of assignment in accordance with this Section, Client shall be liable, jointly and severally with any assignee, for any liabilities and obligations incurred by such assignee hereunder to the same extent as if such liabilities and obligations had been incurred by Datastreamer.
