7. CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1 Definition of Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means all information disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes surveys designed and developed by Customer, contact lists, survey responses, and any other Customer Data. Confidential Information of Sogolytics includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and all Order Forms (including pricing), any software or documentation related to the Services, Sogolytics sample questions and templates, trade secrets, technical know-how, inventions, materials, product development plans, marketing plans, customer lists and email addresses, the know-how, proprietary strategy on communications, reports, and findings. Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information 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 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 received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this "Confidentiality" section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties under this Agreement and in connection with the evaluation of additional Sogolytics services.

7.2 Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsels and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsels, or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s, or accountant’s compliance with this "Confidentiality" section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sogolytics may disclose: (a) the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor or Non-Sogolytics Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform Sogolytics’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein; and (b) information in accordance with Section 6.3 ("License by Customer to Sogolytics") above.

7.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, including but not limited to obligations under a local, state or federal law, provided that the Receiving Party gives: (a) prior notice of the compelled disclosure to the Disclosing Party (to the extent legally permitted); and (b) reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
