  11. Confidentiality. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information " means (a) all information, data, or materials that Company or any of its affiliates or representatives (" Discloser ") has disclosed or otherwise made available to you ("Recipient "), or which Recipient has observed or otherwise obtained from Discloser, whether made available orally, in writing, or in electronic form, provided that such information, data, or materials (i) is marked as "proprietary" or "confidential" at the time of disclosure; or (ii) if disclosed in a form not susceptible to marking, is described and designated as "proprietary" or "confidential" in a writing provided to the Recipient within thirty (30) days of such disclosure; or (iii) is made available under circumstances that would indicate to a reasonable person that such information or materials are confidential or proprietary, and (b) any copies, extracts, portions, and derivatives of any of the foregoing. For clarity, our "Confidential Information" includes the Site and the Offering (including the object code thereof, the source code thereof, and any technical data, know-how, trade secrets, processes, techniques, specifications, methods, algorithms, interfaces, solutions, structures, and other information embodied in any of the foregoing) and the terms and conditions of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Confidential Information" does not include any information, data, or materials that (1) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or omission of Recipient (or any third party acting on behalf of Recipient); (2) was rightfully known by Recipient before receipt from Discloser; (3) becomes rightfully known to Recipient from a source other than Discloser that does not owe a duty of confidentiality to Discloser with respect to such Confidential Information; or (4) is independently developed by Recipient without the use of or reference to Confidential Information of Discloser. Recipient shall not use Confidential Information of Discloser for any purpose other than as required to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement (the " Purpose "). Except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted in writing by Discloser, Recipient shall hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence, and shall not publish, disseminate, or otherwise disclose, or permit or facilitate the disclosure of, any Confidential Information to any third party. Except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement or by Discloser in writing, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of Discloser only to its employees, officers, agents, and other representatives who have a need to know such information to carry out the Purpose and are bound in writing or under law by restrictions regarding disclosure and use of such information comparable to, and in no event less restrictive than, those set forth herein. Recipient shall be responsible for all acts and omissions by its employees, officers, agents, and other representatives as if such acts or omissions were acts or omissions of Recipient. Any copy, extract, portion, or derivative of Discloser's Confidential Information shall be identified by Recipient as belonging to Discloser and prominently marked "Confidential." This Agreement will not prevent Recipient from disclosing Confidential Information of Discloser to the extent required by a judicial order or other legal obligation, provided that, in such event, Recipient shall promptly notify Discloser to allow intervention (and shall cooperate with Discloser) to contest or minimize the scope of the disclosure (including application for a protective order). Recipient shall advise Discloser in writing of any misappropriation or misuse of Confidential Information of Discloser of which Recipient becomes aware. Recipient acknowledges that Discloser considers its Confidential Information to contain trade secrets and other valuable proprietary information of Discloser, and that any unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential Information would cause Discloser irreparable harm for which its remedies at law would be inadequate. Accordingly, Recipient acknowledges and agrees that Discloser shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to seek the issuance of injunctive relief, without bond,enjoining any breach or threatened breach of Recipient's obligations hereunder with respect to the Confidential Information of Discloser.
