-
- In performing hereunder, the Parties may exchange Confidential Information with each other as may be necessary or desirable to further the Purpose. (“Confidential Information”) refers to any of the following disclosed by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”): (1) any document marked as confidential, proprietary, or trade secret; (2) any information orally designated as confidential or proprietary provided that the Disclosing Party confirms such designation in writing within five (5) business days; (3) any source code, object code, or technical information and solutions related to the Services or GNG Platform; (4) strategic plans, information about business relationships with third-parties, employee information, Participant lists, supplier information, pricing, contract terms, product or sales presentations, and product expansion timelines or technology forecasts; (5) any other non-public information which a reasonably prudent person would identify as confidential, proprietary, or a trade secret. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is already possessed by a Receiving Party prior to disclosure; (ii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; (iii) becomes publicly known, before or after disclosure, other than as a result of the Receiving Party’s improper acts or omissions; or (iv) is approved for disclosure with the written consent of the Disclosing Party.

In the case of a Data Breach, the Party from which the Data Breach originated (“Breaching Party”) shall immediately notify the other Party and take steps to mitigate the effects of the breach and prevent a future breach. The Breaching Party shall conduct an analysis on the effects of the Data Breach and disclose to the other Party what information was affected and other key details about the Data Breach.
- In the event that a Receiving Party is required by law or a governmental authority to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, whether by subpoena, judicial or administrative order, or otherwise, the Receiving Party shall provide written notice of such requirement to the Disclosing Party, and permit the Disclosing Party to intervene in any relevant proceedings to protect its interest in the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at its sole cost and expense. The Receiving Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with and assist the Disclosing Party in seeking to obtain a protective order or narrowing the scope of the disclosure. In the event such protection is not obtained, the Receiving Party may disclose only the minimum portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required.
- The Parties agree to comply with lawful data subject rights requests from Participants under any applicable Data Protection Laws. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Data Protection Laws” means the E.U.

Partner further acknowledges that GNG is the controller and owner of all data received from Participants in relation to the Services and through the GNG Platform.

All such use shall be in accordance with the limitations and requirements outlined in this Agreement and the other Party’s reasonable policies regarding advertising and intellectual property usage as communicated. Each Party may use and include the other Party’s logo and name on a listing of their existing business partners, provided that such listing does not state or imply an endorsement of the other Party’s products or services. For all other publications and promotional uses not contemplated hereunder, each Party will seek the consent of the other Party prior to using or displaying their Marks. Each Party shall retain all right, title, and interest in its trademarks, service marks, and trade names worldwide, including any goodwill associated therewith, subject only to this limited license.
- Injunctive Relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Sections 4(f), 4(g), 7, 9, 10, 11 or 20, money damages may be inadequate, and any breach or threatened breach of such Sections may cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching Party, a specific amount for which would be near impossible to ascertain. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach of such Sections, the non-breaching Party shall, in addition to such other relief as might be appropriate, be entitled to seek (without posting of bond) injunctive relief, including a temporary restraining order, enjoining any such breach, or specific performance hereunder, in addition to any legal fees and costs associated therewith.
