The parties wish to explore a business relationship and may disclose Confidential Information to each other. This Agreement governs that disclosure and use.

"Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by a party ("Discloser") to the other ("Recipient") that is marked confidential or would reasonably be understood as confidential given its nature and circumstances.

Confidential Information includes business plans, product roadmaps, pricing, customer lists, technical data, and the terms of discussions between the parties.

Confidential Information does not include information that Recipient can demonstrate:

1. Is or becomes public through no fault of Recipient 2. Was rightfully known to Recipient without restriction before disclosure 3. Is independently developed without use of Confidential Information 4. Is rightfully received from a third party without restriction

Recipient will:

• Use Confidential Information only to evaluate or pursue the Purpose
• Not disclose Confidential Information except to Representatives with a need to know who are bound by obligations at least as protective
• Protect Confidential Information with at least reasonable care

If Recipient is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information, Recipient will (where legally permitted) give Discloser prompt notice and reasonable cooperation to seek protective treatment.

This Agreement begins on the Effective Date of the Cover Page and continues for two (2) years. Confidentiality obligations survive for three (3) years after termination, except trade secrets survive as long as they remain trade secrets.

Upon Discloser's request, Recipient will return or destroy Confidential Information, except copies retained in routine backups or as required by law.

No license or other rights are granted by disclosure. Neither party is obligated to proceed with any transaction.

Unauthorized use or disclosure may cause irreparable harm. Either party may seek injunctive relief in addition to other remedies.

• Governing law: Delaware, USA (unless Cover Page specifies otherwise)
• Assignment: Neither party may assign without consent, except to a successor in a merger or sale of substantially all assets
• Entire agreement: Cover Page + these Standard Terms constitute the entire agreement on confidentiality for the Purpose
• Amendments: Only in a signed writing (Cover Page or amendment referencing a new Standard Terms URL)
