written documentation: (i) was properly in receiving party’s possession or
properly known by it, without restriction, prior to receipt from the disclosing
party; (ii) was rightfully disclosed to receiving party by a third party
without restriction; (iii) is, or becomes generally available to the public or
otherwise part of the public domain, other than through any act or omission of
the receiving party (or any subsidiary, agent or employee of the receiving
party) in breach of the Agreement; (iv) was independently developed by the
receiving party without reference to or use of any Confidential Information
disclosed by the disclosing party; or (v) is approved in writing by the

the disclosing party the original and all copies of all Confidential
Information or, in lieu thereof, certify that all such Confidential Information
has been destroyed; and (ii) destroy all notes and copies thereof made by
receiving party containing any Confidential Information, provided that neither
party shall be obligated to return or destroy Confidential Information to the
extent necessary to fulfill its obligations and to enforce its rights under the

regulatory or judicial process, rule or practice governing professionals or any
internal compliance policy or procedure relating to the safeguarding or backup

care. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to its
employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate

provided it remains responsible for their compliance with this Section and they
are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section.

Remedies. Each party agrees that unauthorized use or
disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which money

equitable relief, including an injunction (without the necessity of posting any
bond or surety), in addition to other available remedies, for breach or
threatened breach of this Section.
12.5.
Permitted
Disclosures.
Nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from making disclosures,
including of Client Data and other Confidential Information, to the extent such
disclosure is reasonably necessary for: (i) exercising the rights granted to it
and fulfilling its obligations under the Agreement, provided such disclosure is
only made to the receiving party’s employees, agents, consultants, or representatives
with a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by a
confidentiality agreement or other duty of confidentiality no less restrictive
than the duties in this Section; (ii) complying with applicable law, rules, or
regulations; or (iii) submitting information to tax or other governmental
authorities. If a party is required to
make any disclosure of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in
accordance with subsections (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent it can legally
do so, it will give reasonable advance written notice to the disclosing party
of such intended disclosure, and will use its reasonable efforts to secure
confidential treatment of such information prior to its disclosure (such as
seeking, or allowing the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to
seek, a protective orders or otherwise).

not (and shall ensure End Users do not): (i) use the AI Features for any
unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, infringing, defamatory or misleading purpose;

outputs that are inappropriate, offensive, or harmful
·
Generate
content that infringes on third-party rights
·
Fail
to understand context, nuance, or specialized requirements
·
Produce
inconsistent results for similar inputs
No Guarantee of Performance. Company does not guarantee that AI
Features will meet Client’s specific requirements, operate without
interruption, or be free from errors. AI performance may vary based on factors
including input quality, system load, and the inherent limitations of current
AI technology.
Changes to AI Features. Company reserves the right to
modify, update, or discontinue AI Features at any time.
