Definition of Confidential Information

Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data, Flybits’s Confidential Information includes the Flybits Platform and/or Services, and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of all Order Forms (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, source code and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was rightfully known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (iii) is rightfully received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
Protection of Confidential Information
The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care). The Receiving Party will (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms of Service, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, only disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its affiliates’ employees and contractors who (A) need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms of Service and (B) have confidentiality obligations with respect to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information consistent with those contained herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of Order Form to any third party other than (1) its affiliates, legal counsel and accountants, or (2) in connection with a bona fide due diligence inquiry for a financing, acquisition or similar transaction, in each case subject to confidentiality obligations consistent with these Terms of Service, without the other party’s prior written consent. A Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breaches of confidentiality obligations hereunder by any third party to whom it discloses the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Flybits is expressly authorized to use data regarding Customer’s use of the Flybits Platform and/or Services in anonymized and aggregated form, to analyze and improve the Flybits Platform and/or Services and for distribution in general benchmarking data and industry reports, provided that any reported user data is aggregated and anonymized such that no personally identifying information of Customer or its users is revealed.
Compelled Disclosure
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
