Parasense reserves all rights not expressly granted to Subscriber and Authorized Users hereunder.
6.2 Title. Unless expressly provided hereunder, Parasense does not grant any express or implied right(s) to Subscriber and/or any of its Authorized Users under any patent(s), copyright(s), trademark(s), or trade secret information with respect to the Subscription Services or underlying software. Accordingly, unauthorized use of any material accessible through the Subscription Services may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, trade secret laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and other regulations and statutes. Parasense, the Parasense software, and all other names, logos, and icons identifying Parasense’s products and services are proprietary marks of Parasense and its affiliates, and any use of such marks without the express written permission of Parasense is strictly prohibited.
6.3 Subscriber Feedback. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about the Subscription Services, or any other Parasense software or service (“Feedback”), provided by Subscriber or its Authorized Users to Parasense shall not be treated as Subscriber’s confidential or proprietary information. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Parasense shall not be obligated to develop or provide to Subscriber any updates, upgrades, modifications or new products and services based on Feedback
7 CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1 Confidentiality Obligations. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that, as a result of its access to the Subscription Services hereunder, Authorized Users shall have access to information Subscriber may consider confidential and proprietary information (as further defined below, the “Confidential Information”). As a condition of this Agreement and Subscriber’s access to the Subscription Services hereunder, Subscriber and Parsense agrees: (i) to keep confidential all Confidential Information disclosed to it by either party, or any of either party’s officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors or sub-contractors; (ii) not to use the Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations hereunder and/or use the Subscription Services in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein; and (iii) to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of its own confidential information (at all times exercising at least a commercially reasonable degree of care). For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes any non-public technical or business information of Subscriber or Parasense, including any information relating to the function or operation of the Subscription Service, software and associated intellectual property, screen or menu hierarchies, techniques, algorithms, know-how, current and future products and services, research, engineering, designs, financial information, customer lists, business forecasts, marketing plans, the terms of this Agreement, and information or any materials marked confidential. “Confidential Information” will not include information which: (1) is known publicly; (2) is generally known in the industry before disclosure; (3) has become known publicly, without fault of Subscriber, subsequent to disclosure by Parasense; or (4) Subscriber becomes aware of from a third party not bound by non-disclosure obligations to Parasense and with the lawful right to disclose such information to Subscriber. On termination or expiration of this Agreement, Subscriber will return or destroy Parasense’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber will not be required to remove or destroy copies of Confidential Information from its backup media and servers, where doing so would be commercially impracticable. In addition, the foregoing destruction and return obligation will be subject to any retention obligations imposed on Subscriber by law or regulation. Each party acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that any such breach or threatened breach may allow a party or third parties to unfairly compete with Parasense, resulting in irreparable harm to Parasense, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Parasense will be entitled to appropriate equitable and injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving actual loss, in addition to whatever remedies Parasense might have at law or equity.
7.2 Disclosure As Matter of Law. If either party or any of their affiliates or their respective employees or agents are requested or required (whether by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, law enforcement proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process or by any other legal requirement) (collectively, “Document Request”) to disclose any of the Confidential Information (as defined in Section 6.1 above) or other data of Subscriber or any Authorized User, such party will use commercially reasonable efforts to disclose such information prior to the deadline by which such party must respond to the Document Request (“Document Request Deadline”). Upon receiving written notice of a Document Request, such party will provide the other party with written notice (unless such notices are precluded by the applicable process) of the Document Request so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, prior to the Document Request Deadline, the other party obtains a protective order or other appropriate remedy (and provides the same in writing to such party prior to the Document Request Deadline), such party will withhold Confidential Information and other data in accordance with the protective order or remedy. On the other hand, if at the expiration of the Document Request Deadline, the other party has not obtained a protective order or other appropriate remedy (and provided the same in writing to such party prior to the Document Request Deadline) and/or waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, such may disclose Confidential Information of the other party in accordance with the Document Request.

Subscriber hereby agrees that Subscriber will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Parasense and its directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents from and against any Claims which may be suffered by, accrued against, charged to or recoverable from a third party (including Subscriber Parties) by reason of or in connection with Subscriber Party’s use and/or reliance on the Subscription Services or data/information provided or obtained therefrom.
