3. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; CONFIDENTIALITY

As between you and us, we own all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the API Materials, Qualia Platform, Qualia Marks and any Confidential Information provided hereunder, together with all improvements, enhancements or modifications thereto (including as a result of any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback thereto provided by you, for which we shall have no obligation to you) (collectively, “Qualia Materials”). Except for the express license and limited use rights granted in these API Terms, we do not grant you any right, title or interest in or to any Qualia Materials.

3.2 Confidential Information. For purposes of these API Terms, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed or made available by us to you, regardless of format or medium, including any financial information, technical and non- technical data, services, products, processes, operations, reports, analyses, test results, technology, specifications, protocols, performance standards, know-how, methodologies, trade secrets, trade practices, marketing plans and materials, strategies, forecasts, research, concepts, ideas, and names, addresses and any other characteristics or identifying information of our existing or potential licensors, suppliers, customers or employees or any information derived from any of the foregoing; provided that such information is either (i) clearly designated as “Confidential” in writing (if communicated in writing) or at the time of disclosure (if disclosed orally or visually) or (ii) of the nature or type, or disclosed under circumstances, which should reasonably be regarded as confidential. Our Confidential Information includes the Qualia Materials and any data or personally identifiable information regarding or associated with End Users who are not acting on your behalf (collectively, “End User Data”). Confidential Information shall not include any information, other than End User Data, which (i) is or becomes available to the public other than as the consequence of a breach of these API Terms; (ii) is actually known to you or in your possession without any limitation on use or disclosure prior to receipt from us; (iii) is rightfully received without confidentiality restrictions from a third party in possession of such information who is not under obligation to us not to disclose the information; or (iv) is independently developed by you without use of or reference to the Confidential Information. The burden of proving the applicability of these exceptions shall be on you.

3.3 Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. You shall (i) hold in strict confidence and trust all Confidential Information, using the same degree of care that you use to protect the confidentiality of your own confidential information of similar type, and in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care; and (ii) not disclose, sell, rent or otherwise provide or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information to any Person without our prior written consent, except that you may disclose Confidential Information to your or your affiliates’ employees, agents, contractors, legal counsel and accountants who need to know such information, only to the extent reasonably necessary, consistent with the obligations of the parties under these API Terms and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less stringent than those set forth in these API Terms. You may use the Confidential Information only as expressly authorized in these API Terms and not for any other purpose. You shall require any of your employees or representatives who obtain Confidential Information to comply with these API Terms and shall be responsible for any breach of these API Terms by such employees or representatives.

3.4 Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a court order, government order or any other legal requirement of disclosure, or pursuant to the listing rules of any stock exchange to which such party is subject, in each case if no suitable protective order or equivalent remedy is available; provided that, to the extent permitted, you give us written notice of such court order, government order, legal requirement or listing rule requiring disclosure immediately upon knowledge thereof and allow us a reasonable opportunity to seek to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy prior to such disclosure to the extent permitted by law; and further provided that you shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which you are advised by a written opinion of counsel is legally required, and will exercise your best efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Qualia receives, or if you or any governmental authority requests that Qualia respond to, a validly issued third party subpoena, court order, government regulatory inquiry, or other similar request or legal process for the preservation or production of any data, documents, other materials, or testimony related to these API Terms (or any activities under or in connection with these API Terms), (i) Qualia, in its reasonable discretion, will determine whether, how, and when to respond to (and, as applicable, notify you of) such request; and (ii) you shall reimburse or otherwise compensate Qualia for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) that Qualia incurs in connection with any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any associated investigation, collection, preservation, disclosure, or presentation of any such data, documents, other materials, or testimony).

4. TERMINATION

You shall promptly notify us if at any point you cease providing your Service to applicable End Users.
