iii. You acknowledge and agree that all such rights, titles and interests in and to the Data, including but not limited to, its components and methods of research, and in whatever form provided, including in writing, electronically or verbally, and all other information provided by ResearchJewel, including but not limited to, all documentation, and software, are valid, subsisting and enforceable, and the Data, including but not limited to, its components and methods of calculation, and in whatever form provided, including in writing, electronically or verbally, and all other information provided by ResearchJewel, including but not limited to, all documentation, and software, is a product of the selection, coordination, arrangement, and editing of ResearchJewel and its affiliates and that such efforts involve the considerable expenditure by ResearchJewel and its affiliates of time, effort, creativity, money and judgment.
iv. You agree that you shall not, directly or indirectly, do or cause to be done any act which may in any way jeopardize or adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or otherwise infringe or misappropriate, any rights, titles and interests of ResearchJewel in and to the Data, including but not limited to, its components and methods of research, and in whatever form provided, including in writing, electronically or verbally, and all other information provided by ResearchJewel, including but not limited to, all documentation, and software, or any Intellectual Property rights and any property and proprietary rights related thereto. You further agree that you will not oppose or contest any application by ResearchJewel and/or any of its affiliates in connection with the Data, including but not limited to, its components and methods of calculation, and all other information provided by ResearchJewel, including but not limited to, all documentation, and software, including but not limited to, any application directed to any rights subsisting therein, in the United States or elsewhere, or any application for extension of such rights.
v. Each party shall treat as confidential and shall not disclose or transmit to any third party, other than an officer, director or employee of the party who needs to know such information in order for the party to enter into this contract or fulfill its obligations hereunder, any documentation or other written materials that are marked as confidential and proprietary by the providing party. All information regarding the Data, including but not limited to, its components and methods of research, and all other information provided by ResearchJewel, including but not limited to, all documentation, and software, no matter the form provided, including without limitation, written, electronic or orally conveyed information, is considered proprietary and Confidential Information of ResearchJewel. In fulfilling its confidentiality obligations, each party shall use a commercially reasonable standard of care, at least the same standard of care, which it uses to protect its own similar confidential or proprietary information. The specific terms of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include (i) any information that is or becomes generally available to the public or to the receiving party hereunder from sources other than the providing party (provided that the receiving party is aware of the source of such information and such source is not known to the receiving party to be subject to a confidentiality agreement with regard to such information), (ii) any information that is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to information from the providing party or (iii) any information already available to or in the possession of the receiving party prior to delivery by the forwarding party, free of a confidentiality obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may reveal Confidential Information to any regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction if such information to be disclosed is (a) approved in writing by the other party for such disclosure or (b) required by law, regulatory agency or court order to be disclosed by a party, provided, if permitted by law, that prior written notice of such required disclosure is given to the other party, except that prior written notice shall not be required to be provided prior to disclosure to a regulator having jurisdiction over the receiving party, and provided further that the providing party shall cooperate with the other party to limit the extent of such disclosure. With the exception of Confidential Information regarding the Data, including but not limited to, its components and methods of calculation, and in whatever form provided, including in writing, electronically or verbally, and all other information provided by ResearchJewel, including but not limited to, all documentation, and software, which shall survive termination or expiration of this agreement without any period restriction, the provisions of this Section 1.a.v shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years from disclosure by either party to the other of the last item of such Confidential Information.
vi. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the damage that would result upon unauthorized disclosure or use, the parties agree that monetary damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy for the breach or threatened breach of Section 1.a.v. In addition to all other rights and remedies, a party will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of Section 1.a.v without showing actual monetary damages in connection therewith, and without requiring a bond to be posted.
vii. You agree not to use the Data in any way beyond the scope of this License and that You will use sufficient due diligence to safeguard and protect the Data from unauthorized infringement.
viii. You shall not copy, reproduce, re-manufacture or in any way duplicate all or any part of the Data, electronically or in any other medium, whether modified or translated into any other format or not, except for use by You in your business or organization as specified in this License and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this License. You shall not, and shall not permit any other party, to do any of the following with respect to the Data, including but not limited to, its components and methods of research, and all other information provided by ResearchJewel, including but not limited to, all documentation, and software, without the express written permission of ResearchJewel: (i) copy; (ii) remove or alter any copyright, trademark, patent or other notices; (iii) translate, deconstruct, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discern the whole or any part or component thereof; (iv) alter, modify, adapt, translate or reproduce the whole or any part or component thereof, or merge the whole or any part or component thereof with or into other software or information, or create derivative works based thereon; (v) directly or indirectly distribute or make available the whole or any part or component thereof; or (vi) take or authorize any action that could detrimentally interfere with the ownership by ResearchJewel or the proper workings of the whole or any part or component thereof, including but not limited to, use any robot, spider or other device or process to monitor or copy the whole or any part or component thereof, or knowingly transmit any virus or other potentially harmful device in connection with Licensee's use thereof.
