3. Proprietary Information

“Proprietary Information” is defined as information which is in the possession of the party disclosing the information (the “Disclosing Party”), is not generally available to the public and which the Disclosing Party (or any of its affiliates) desires to protect against unrestricted disclosure or competitive use and includes, without limitation, any business, marketing, sales, financial or technical information, including without limitation, any information relating to the present and future business affairs, operations, methods, techniques, software, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or other items or information to which the party disclosing the information possesses intellectual property rights, and the capabilities or financial condition of the Disclosing Party (or any of its affiliates), whether such information is written or oral, which is designated as proprietary in writing or orally by the Disclosing Party at the time of disclosure to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), or summarized in writing designating the same as “proprietary” within fifteen (15) days after disclosure to the Receiving Party.

It is understood that the term “Proprietary Information” does not include information which:
(i) has been or becomes published or is now or is in the future in the public domain through no action of the Receiving Party;
(ii) prior to disclosure hereunder, is within the legitimate possession of the Receiving Party as evidenced by competent written proof;

(iv) is independently developed or acquired by the Receiving Party through persons whom the Receiving Party can demonstrate have not had, either directly or indirectly, access to or knowledge of such Proprietary Information.

Neither the execution of these Legal Terms nor the furnishing of any information hereunder shall be construed as granting to any party or any of its Representatives, either expressly or by implication, any license or right to use any Proprietary Information for its own benefit or the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, and each party expressly agrees not to so use any such information. Nothing contained in these Legal Terms shall be construed as conferring any rights, by license or otherwise, to any invention, discovery, or improvement made, conceived or acquired prior to, during or after the date of these Legal Terms.

​

4. Confidentiality

Each Party agrees that it may receive or have access to proprietary, confidential, and/or trade secret information (“Confidential Information”) of the other Party. Both parties acknowledge and agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Confidential Information does not include information that:

• Is or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement;
• Is already known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure;
• Is independently developed by the receiving Party without access to or use of the Confidential Information.

Neither Party shall use the other Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than the Research activities and the intended Services.

For the purpose of running static code analysis, P10Y will create temporary clones of the Participant and/or User’s source code. Upon concluding the algorithmic analysis, any source code will be deleted, and we will never create any permanent copies of the Participant’s source code.

P10Y agrees to maintain in confidence all source codes analyzed to conduct the Research activities as well as provide the intended Services by using reasonable physical and other security measures. We further agree not to disclose any source code version of the Participant(s) and User(s), or any aspect thereof (including, without limitation, header files), to anyone other than employees or contractors who have a need to know or obtain access to such data to support P10Y’s authorized use of the source code and are bound to protect such information against any other use or disclosure.

These obligations shall not apply to any information generally available to the public, ascertainable based on the operation of the binary code version of applications, independently developed or obtained without reliance on the Participant and/or User’s information, or as approved for release in writing by the Participant and/or User without restriction.

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

​

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in the United States of America, Delaware. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in the United States of America, Delaware, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

​

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law:

• No arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding;
• There is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and
• There is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

​

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:

• Any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party;
• Any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and
• Any claim for injunctive relief.

If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
